Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The federal safety agency recall campaign 93v179000 concerning passive restraint belts. No parts were available.
Driver's seat belt did not function, depriving consumer of protection if involved in an accident. Manufacturer was informed by consumer.
Jaguar coprate has acknowleged problem with dealer..no help in sight..the corprate office says vehicle must be fixed by dealer or will not warranty for seat belt.
When shifting from "park" to "drive" vehicle bolted ahead at full acceleration without my touching accelerator pedal. Applied full brake pedal with no effect and could only stop vehicle by turning off ignition with key. Jaguar dealer advised me that "build up of carbon around throttle linkage" caused the problem. Extremely lucky to have suffered no injuries to anyone or collision damage. Vehicle traveled 75 feet across busy intersection at very high speed before I could stop it.
Driver's door locking switch on door latch went bad & broke. Would go up/down while driving. Also, while driving seat belt came undone & consumer went against the steering wheel. This had caused an interference in driving for the driver. Would have to shut vehicle off just to get the seat belts to retract.
When seat belt retracts it goes across the steering wheel, causing wheel to steer, making steering difficult. Dealer contacted ,and cannot remedy the problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
