2005 Jaguar XJR problems

Filed Jul 15, 2016 · Engine · 82,000 miles · MD

After 15-20 minutes of highway driving, vehicle suddenly switches into "restricted performance" showing this amber light indicator and amber engine light. Several times because of the drawback in speed, I have been almost rear-ended. This problem is putting my life and others on the highway in danger. This issue has been a problem with my car for over 3 years now with many appointments to jaguar servicing for replacements; to include coolant pump and throttle body; yet, the problem still continues. I believe the problem is a defect of the engine. This should be investigated and listed as a recall.

Driver's wiper came loose in thunderstorm on interstate--wipers clashed and bent arm. Lost forward vision and was able to pull over. Had to replace arm later. In june 2012, the driver's arm came loose again and was tightened. July 14, 2012, the driver's arm again came loose during rain. Extremely dangerous in some situations.

While merging into the fast lane on the highway the car goes into limp mode and I nearly got rear ended by a truck . After precariously making it to the shoulder ( almost got hit by another car )the codes all cleared and car resumes as normal. I take it in to the dealer and he tells me its possibly the throttle body but he is not sure . Looking online I find many xjr's with the same issue and almost fatal consequences due to jaguar's complete negligence to recall and fix their mistakes. The part is obviously not correctly engineered - they should do something about it before someone gets killed .
