When you slow down, the vehicle cuts off completely. When you turn the car on, it's almost as if the gas is not traveling somewhere and causes it to take a while. Having it cut off on the highway is a very scary thing. I see recalls yet they're acting as if my vehicle is not affected by it.

My vehicle has less than 59k miles and the check engine light is on. I was told the car is running too cool. There is an issue with the coolant system, fuel system etc. The car drives fine however, the dealership needs to replace hoses, housings, etc. To the tune of $1382 I have never heard of a car running too cool.. This is a manufacturing issue. Also, the headliner attached to the sunroof has falled due to heat and I understand this is a common problem with these jaguars.
Car suddenly stop accelerating in the middle of the freeway. I had to pull to the side wich was hard since power steering and everything was not working since engine seem to shut off. Ended up figuring out that it had ran out of fuel but gas gauge showed around 1/4 left and no fuel low warning ever showed.
Was driving down interstate and light came on saying coolant low, air conditioner was still blowing cold, but I turned off air, maybe 3 minutes later, loss acceleration power, black smoke billowing out of pipes and under hood and light came on saying low performance turn engine off. Immediately pulled car on side of highway. No warning car was running hot. Car was disabled would not start later and computer reading still registered cool. Gas was smelling all though the car and proceeded to leak from under car after towed away. At the dealership, the car had gas leaking under it on the ground when I went to retrieve items out of car. Dealership said it would cost 36,000. Plus to fix. Car is still sitting at dealership with no solution. I felt we were fortunate to get out of car alive because I felt it could have exploded. Dealership says it was water pump, but engine was never torn down to determine that.
Pulling out of a parking lot into oncoming traffic, car was driving fine then all of a sudden it snapped into restricted performance mode, slowed my car down to 15mph on a busy street, and almost got hit by other cars due to my sudden decline in speed. Took the car back to the dealership for assessment and their recommendation is to replace the engine for $32,000.00. I bought the car for $26,000.00 in january 2014 from galpin honda in mission hills and I currently owe $24,000.00 on it. I just don't see how this could be right.
