2005 Jaguar S-Type: fuel leak

Filed Jun 27, 2021 · Fuel system · VA

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.

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.

I have had my 2005 jaguar s-type since about 2011. But since then I have noticed that every time I fill the gas tank it leaks, which I always thought it was over fill. But now I realized it was not. I took it to a auto shop who told me it has a gas leak from the gas tank. He mentioned that jaguars had a recall on the gas tank and that this one may have been done wrong since the fix did not work and it was still leaking. I contacted the dealer who said that the gas tank was replaced by the recall in 2007 but since it was still leaking I would have to contact the manufacture (jaguar motors) to see if the fix was covered under the recall since it may have not fixed the leak. I was told by the dealer that it may have been not sealed correctly but only jaguar motors could approve them to reseal or replace the gas tank. I called them and they were very rude (terrence) saying it was done in 2007 and they had nothing to do with it any more. I told terrence the recall didn't work and the car is still dangerous. He said jaguar replaced the tank and that is all they had to do. I told them that it was not done right because it was still leaking and he said it was my problem not theirs. I am wondering how dangerous is this car and shouldn't jaguar fix their recalls correctly to meet recall standards? I am also wondering what I can do...
