2007 Jaguar X-Type Problems, complaints & recalls

On at least 3 occasions, my vehicle had unintended acceleration and applying brakes did not stop the car. I put it in park to stop. I took it to the Foreign performance (mechanic shop) on 11-29-23 after the first time and they said they fixed it. It occurred again on 12-8-23. I again threw it into park. I called the shop on 12-11-23 and they agreed to see it on 12-12-23. I hit a car on 12-11-23 around 11:45 am coming out of my driveway. I had my car towed to mechanic. The other car did not need to be towed. ...

Serious safety issue with the epb electronic parking brake not disengaging (especially in the xj models), therefore, deeming it impossible to drive the car, and being stranded with no way to drive home or anywhere in an emergency. This issue appears to be electrical in nature, involving the parking brake module. This issue is a published issue in countless jaguar forums and the nhtsa.

Obd2 scan shows that the run flat tires are not being protected by a low inflation warning that has been disabled for the vehicle. The recall #09v161000 is revealed by the obd2 computer report saying that there is a recall and providing this info. The manufacture makes claim there is not current recall. I would like to have this confirmed by nhtsa.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jaguar xk. The contact stated that the check engine light remained illuminated while driving approximately 35 mph.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jaguar x-type. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, a vehicle crashed into the driver's side of the contact's vehicle and the driver's side air bag failed to deploy. The driver's and rear windows fractured during the crash and as a result, the contact sustained injuries to the face, head and left arm. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was towed. The failure mileage was 74,000.

While driving the passenger footwell became drenched with water which startled the driver and obviously the passenger who was wet and her shoes soaked in water. The cause is something jaguar is aware of because they have issued a service bulletin tsb jtb001211 which replaces the drain tube from the ac. This is a real safety concern and many jaguar xk vehicles 2007-2011 have experienced this problem and have been forced to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for the defect to be repaired. Many vehicles are outside of warranty period. The sudden rush of water from the dash is likely to cause a serious accident. *Tr

The engine stalled out when we were traveling in the passing lane at speed on an interstate highway. We had to move to the right side shoulder of the highway in front of another vehicle we had just passed and other traffic coming close behind. Definitely a scary situation for us and the other drivers. We were towed to the nearest jag dealer. The dealer had our car for two weeks. They replaced the fuel pump. The service tech's told us that they had never heard of a fuel pump going bad in an x-type. When I...

Incident #1 - jan 2013: as I was braking to a stop, the car suddenly went to what I would call "full throttle". My foot was on the brake so I firmly pressed the brake to prevent the car from crashing into my building. I tried pumping the accelerator quickly while practically standing on the brake but that made no difference in the rpms. I pressed the button to stop the engine. I re-started the car and it ran normally. Incident #2 - feb 2013: thinking incident #1, above, was a fluke, I continued driving the...

Vehicle is equipped with a keyless start option. On two occasions within 3 days, the car would not stay running when the start button was depressed. On each occasion, after 5-6 attempts at starting the engine, each time the engine would stall when the transmission was placed in either d or r. After waiting approximately 5 minutes, the car would start and operate normally. Both times the vehicle was driven to dealer service and each time the technician would note "no problem found-could not duplicate problem." In both instances, technician reprogrammed all keys.
