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.
Vehicle leaks gasoline from seals on top of gas tank causing on board diagnostic leak detection system to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster. Unable to add gas to tank, fills for 4 seconds then shuts off leaving a puddle of gasoline on ground. Vehicle has been towed to jaguar carlsbad for dealer assessment per jaguar north america instruction. Jaguar of north america claims this vehicle is not available to be included for recall per the federal safety agency safety recall id# 06v418000, although vehicle demonstrates all characteristics outlined in recall. Vehicle has 38,993 miles, has always been garaged, meticulously maintained, and is driven for special occasions only. Vehicle VIN falls within the VIN number range for recall ( n05046-n52047)

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...
Same issue as campaign 06v418000. Check engine light illuminated and dealer has advised that the fuel tank seals are leaking vapor. Dealer also informed that the cause may be a warped fuel tank and that jaguar is no longer manufacturing this part.

Fuel smell inside vehicle when tank filled. Engine warning light on. Contacted jaguar customer service and jaguar dealer in tampa fl. Both said vehicle had been fixed in april 2007 under jaguar recall r 176 and the federal safety agency 06v418000 and , sorry about your luck, was nothing they could do about it ! Problem has been continuous since then and is only avoided by filling tank to 3/4 or less .I believe that there are many of this model out there where a fix has been done but the original recall fault reappears after time constituting a safety hazard..

Gasoline vapors very strong at all times. When fueling vehicle gas would leak out from under the vehicle. Check engine light illuminated at all time. Restricted performance indicator light illuminated when attempting to accelerate greater than 35 miles per hour with extreme hesitation. I researched the recall and was instructed my particular VIN# did not qualify. (plano park place jaguar) there is fuel leaking from my vehicle! I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair each individual item - with little to no improvement. Will jaguar pay after a fatality? Will the usdot hold jaguar USA accountable? The fuel tanks that have any vapor/leakage with codes p0171 and/or p0174 the recall id# 46548 - is listed but jaguar is not honoring it. It is listed that the model affected is 2005 jaguar s-type summary: fdm, jpm, cv, mil and fuel order consequences: fuel above fdm, jpm, or cv appears fuel will discharge on the ground...could result in a fire. Remedy: ...due to problems in obtaining the replacement fuel tank assembly...recall...contact jaguar at 800‑452‑4824. I was given the run-around until I invested $3,500 and risked fatality. Jaguar - must be held accountable!

A strong smell of gas is evident in the cabin of the car when driving and it's been getting worse. After the gas tank is filled, it gets to the point where the vapors are making my families eyes water and we have to open all of the windows/sunroof and it's still bad. I have worked on many of my own cars in the past and I can tell you -it's a good thing I don't smoke because this car would have exploded. The vapors are that strong and I'm amazed there is no evidence of gas leaking out of the car, which would be extremely flammable. I've researched my car's history today, as we just got our car repaired and the problem is worse. I found out about recall r176 which is due to defective gas tanks and mine should have been replaced. But jaguar(ford) only repaired my tank seals during the recall. This evidently didn't work and now this failure is putting my family in harms way. I just spent more than $1,000 trying to remedy the problem, before I knew there was a recall as the dealer did not inform me there was a recall when I directly asked whether the warping gas tanks (as he explained) were ever recalled. Why should any car's gas tank need replacing due to warping??? I read my repair receipt from yesterday and the service department only replaced one seal and "re-fit" the other. This is not how you repair a car, they didn't fix it. They put it back together with the same parts on one side. Now the gas tank has been repaired twice by the dealer since the recall, I'm out more than $1,000 because the dealer didn't accept responsibility that their fix didn't work and now I'm left driving a potential fire hazard.
My car starting leaking gasoline after filling up the tank. I have spent the last 8 months trying to get jaguar to supply a retainer ring to my original fuel tank. I know that my fuel tank was covered by recall campaign #06v418000. According to jaguar they say they already checked my tank for leaks in 2007 and then reinstalled the original tank. I also know that subsequently the fuel tank was redesigned and the parts for the redesigned tank do not fit on the original defective tank (this includes the retainer ring). Since this is a safety issue I would like your input on how to proceed to ensure jaguar will correct this dangerous issue with the fuel tank leak that should be replaced by the government mandated recall.
When I tried to start the vehicle, it would not start. There was a heavy fuel leak onto the ground, coming from underneath the vehicle. This occurred only when the ignition was turned on. I had the vehicle towed to the jaguar dealer and repair shop. The repairman disconnected the fuel pump power, pushed the vehicle into the shop, raised the vehicle using the hoist and inspected the fuel line. He found the fuel line was completely disconnected at the coupler in the middle of the vehicle. The repairman stated there was no damage to the belly pan or the fuel line so he has no idea why this happened.
I would like to start by sharing with you that I am a father, husband, friend and active member of the community that I am part of. Today, I am contacting you because I am extremely concerned about an issue that has occurred with our family car that we purchased only two months ago. I am concerned because I feel that driving this car presents a high danger and can cause a tragic accident harming not just me, but my children whom I drive to anf from school, my wife and friends and other fellow drivers who drive on the same streets and highways I do. The details of my concern and complain are as follows and I hereby request that your organization investigate this matter until the cause of it as well as the permanent resolution is found and reached for the benefit of all the drivers on the road - who are not just drivers but also parents, children, siblings, spouses and friends to those in their lives. In the two months I have owned a 2005 s type jaguar, I have had to take it to the dealer twice with the same problem which the jaguar mechanics have not been able to figure out the root cause of. The issue involves the car shutting down right in the middle of the street without warning. The dealer has told me that the fuel system/pump is failing on the car, however, they are not able to determine what causes the fuel pump system to fail. Since I have taken the car now twice in two months, the dealer is telling me that they will not fix it again if the fuel system fails. I am extremely concerned because the dealer/manufacturer now does not want to take ownership of the issue and identify and correct the root cause of the problem which I found out through an attorney is a known problem for these cars and there was actually had a recall under the federal safety agency's campaign id number: 06v418000.
