Jaguar X-Type Electrical problems by year

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.

THE CAR COUGHT ON FIRE

While being stopped at a stop sign with foot on brake the car suddenly accelerates. This is the 5th time this has happened, one time resulting in an accident. I have called jaguar and they blame the driver. I replaced the throttle which contained the same tps sensor that has plagued toyotas. I am going to replace the pedal sensor and if that doesn't work I guess I will sell the car. Each time this happens the car is stopped with the right foot on the brake. The accident was at a school waiting in a line of stopped vehicles waiting to pickup students.

The motor which unlocks the trunk does not work. The only method in which to unlock the trunk is by key switch and the motor is not working properly to open the trunk.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jaguar xk. The contact stated that the headlight on the driver side caught fire and melted the headlight casing. The headlight on the passenger side also began to melt. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as unsafe to drive. The dealer stated that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 62,700.

Well I was driving along and all of a sudden just lost fuel power, so I pull over, cut the car off, and started the car up again and drove about a 100 yards and it repeated the same thing over again. I must have did it at least 6 times till I got home. So I'm thinking that it might be the throttle box, it's a fuel and electrical problem. *Tr

The engine would quit running, usually when turning right and usually while bouncing over a bump. The car would sometimes show codes relating to the transmission, cylinder misfiring, or the security system failing. Sometimes no codes at all would be stored, and sometimes the car would start back up on its own after a brief moment. Other times it was un-drivable. The underlying issue turned out to be the positive battery cable supplying the fuse box was rubbing against a transmission mount bolt head and grounding out. *Tr

The problem started when taking the state of georgia mandated emission test. The vehicle was service 3 weeks before the deadline. All phases of the test was completed except for the evaporate part. So that put the vehicle in not-ready status. We had the vehicle check and rechecked until its pass emission testing march ,2012.

With fob remote, sometimes the front doors do not unlock but the rear ones do. Key does not unlock them either. By viewing from outside, the locks are popped out but the doors are still locked. Sometimes it only opens one door. Only way to unlock is to go inside and pop the latch. *Kb

My vehicle experiences very frequent failure of the speedometer. While driving down the road at varying speeds the needle will just graudually got to zero. In town traffic and highway speeds, it doesn't matter which. Jaguar refused to fix it. I sued under the lemon law. *Tr

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. In the second instance, the technician replaced the batteries in all keys. The problem has not recurred. *Tr

I was driving from atlanta to cleveland averaging 75 mph somewhere in tennessee when I turned on the cruise control and without warning the vehicle just shut down. I was able to coast to the shoulder and restart the vehicle and completed the trip to cleveland without using the cruise fearing the vehicle would leave me stranded. Luckily (or not) this event happened at 2:00am and the nearest vehicle was a semi truck about half a mile behind me. *Tr
