My wife's 2005 Jaguar S-Type R leaks fuel, and is worst after refilling the tank. The car frequently loses all engine power while driving with no warning. It frequently refuses to restart, and then I have to have it towed sometimes at great distances from home at a cost of over $700 to my repair shop in Virginia. My wife is now too afraid to drive the car because of the gas fumes, fear of a fire, and sudden engine failure. My service technician at Mountain Valley Motors believes the problem has to do with a faulty Jaguar fuel system.

I took my car in at the end of april/early may sometime for the transmission to be repaired , I took my car into jaguar as I normally to get this work done. I got my car between may 8TH and 9TH because I drove it to my graduation may 10TH. Literally 7 days may 16TH after it was fixed it would not start and error messages appeared on dash board that I've never seen. I called the shop and they stated too have it towed. They told me that they wouldn't be able to get it in until june but have it towed so I did. On july 16TH the red told me this "we are replacing the transmission sleeve that we replaced last time. I got it covered under warranty and my parts have arrived. I should have done tomorrow. I will update asap --ryan schmitt jaguar land rover minneapolis. July 18TH this IS what I was told "we are trying to get this transmission issue taken car of. We tried to warranty work we did last time and it didn't fix it. We actually have a separate issue of fluid leaking. My tech IS trying to figure out our options. It starts and runs good now but transmission fluid will eventually leak down and cause the connector to go bad. I should have a quote together shortly but unfortunatley it wont be cheap. --ryan schmitt jaguar land rover minneapolis. Today IS july 24TH I was told that they could look deeper into to see if it's an internal problem but that would cost me as well.

2005 jaguar s-type r fuel tank recall fuel tank has large evap leak, had to remove fuel tank to find where the leak was during a smoke test. fuel tank had been replaced during a recall in 2007, now that tank has a large crack on one of the fuel modules on top of tank the not only leaks fuel/vapors but also illuminates "check engine light". jaguar says they have complied with the recall and IS now a replacement at owners expense even though jaguar issued technical bulletin r176nas5 on aug. 18, 2014 that re-identifies this issue and assigns a new fuel tank conversion kit to fix the band-aid that was done in 2007. This fault causes state inspection failure thus unable to register vehicle rendering vehicle useless not to mention unsafe to drive with a fuel/vapor leak constantly present. another recall for the defective tanks used during the initial recall 06v4180000 date 10-31-2006 should be implemented as this conversion kit IS quite costly.

Initially while being parked in dec. 2014, I started the car but could not release the electronic park brake. I had to drive it to a mechanic 3 miles away with the brakes smoking. they saw a procedure for resetting the park brake and gave me a copy. all was well for 2 mos. But driving along about 30mph they suddenly locked. I was able to pull over and fortunately had been carrying tools for this and performed the procedure. it happened two more times in 2015 after I was stopped with engine off. I called jaguar and they said there IS no recall, but I have been afraid to drive it long distances and do not want to sell it as it IS a serious safety concern. jaguar offered to look at it but I know all about that and what it could cost, especially when it does not always happen. note: see enclosed documents for 2004, but I have supposedly a 2005 with this issue.

For approximately 1 second, during the range switch over point, the multi meter display indicates an open circuit. This IS incorrectly being diagnosed as a sender fault"
