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.

On 10/03/09 while driving on high speed highway (had driven approx 150 miles) at speed of 65 MPH my engine suddenly stopped. I paid to tow vehicle to my home authorized dealer. Found that fuse for fuel pump had blown. Mileage was 35,896. Again on 03/21/10 while driving approx 60 MPH on I-695 (had driven approx 160 miles) my engine suddenly stopped. Mileage was 37360.towed vehicle to same authorized dealer who found that fuse for fuel pump had blown. Between the first failure and the second failure the vehicle was driven only 1464 miles.both times I was on high speed road in heavy traffic and nearly hit in read trying to get off roadway. Dealer can't find cause for blown fuse and suggested that remove gasoline tank to check wiring but only if I pay for it. I think dealer should investigate it because this is not normal wear and tear. If the operation of the vehicle is dependent on the fuse one would expect that the fuse not blow while on a high speed highway. Thus, there seems to be a defect in the design of the vehicle. Jaguar should be required to investigate to determine the cause. This vehicle is dangerous and I am concerned about driving it on a trip of any distance. It seems that the fuse blows after driving a distance at high speeds.

See odi number 1032451 for a complaint filed by me for incident on 10/03/09. The same type of event occurred on 03/21/10. I covered it all in the first odi report, but I want to make certain that everyone is aware that the fuse blew again 5 months later after only 1,464 miles after the first time. Something is wrong with the wiring or the electrical system in this vehicle. This is an important fuse because if it blows, the engine stops. Thus, jaguar would not expect the fuse to blow, or otherwise many vehicles would suddenly stop operating while on high speed highway. For this reason, I contend that it is not the fuse itself but some type of design problem that is causing the fuse to blow. My wife was with me on both trips when it happened. She is afraid to drive in the vehicle especially on a interstate highway. We had planned on several long trips this summer but do not want to take the chance of being killed or stranded on a highway a long distance from home. The first time we paid to have vehicle towed about 140 miles because it was a saturday and no jaguar dealers for about 100 miles. I request that someone from your agency call me to discuss. The dealer did not want to report it to jaguar because they did not know what caused it. I think that they did after I complained and also contacted jaguar customer service. I wonder how many other persons had the fuse blow but they also did not report it to jaguar or anyone. The dealer said that they could remove to fuel tank and check wiring at a cost to me of about $850.00 or replace the fuel pump at a cost too me of $1500.00, but that these may not solve the problem. I think that jaguar should investigate the problem and after they find the problem discuss if I should pay for any of the cost. Please contact me. Thanks.
