Reported May 19, 2009 · 112 vehicles affected · JAGUAR CARS LTD
Problem: Jaguar is recalling 112 my 2007-2009 xk vehicles fitted with run flat tires for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.138, "tire pressure monitoring system, (Tpms)." the TPMS warnings were turned off. If the TPMS electronic control unit were to send a signal to the instrument cluster to display a TPMS warning telltale, the light would not illuminate nor would the supplementary warning text on the instrument cluster message center be displayed.
Risk: Failure to warn of tire deflations is a non-compliance with FMVSS 138 and could lead to tire failure and a crash.
Fix: Dealers will update the car configuration file settings to enable the instrument cluster to flag the warning symbols as required by FMVSS 138 and associated test in the instrument cluster message center. The remedy will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before june 8, 2009. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-201-818-8500.

Vehicle Speed Control · reported Jan 15, 2024
On at least 3 occasions, my vehicle had unintended acceleration and applying brakes did not stop the car. I put it in park to stop. I took it to the Foreign performance (mechanic shop) on 11-29-23 after the first time and they said they fixed it. It occurred again on 12-8-23. I again threw it into park. I called the shop on 12-11-23 and they agreed to see it on 12-12-23. I hit a car on 12-11-23 around 11:45 am coming out of my driveway. I had my car towed to mechanic. The other car did not need to be towed. On 12-20-23, Foreign Performance wrote: "Vehicle is driving normally at this time.…

Obd2 scan shows that the run flat tires are not being protected by a low inflation warning that has been disabled for the vehicle. The recall #09v161000 is revealed by the obd2 computer report saying that there is a recall and providing this info. The manufacture makes claim there is not current recall. I would like to have this confirmed by NHTSA.

The contact owns a 2007 jaguar xk. The contact stated that the check engine light remained illuminated while driving approximately 35 MPH. An unknown dealer confirmed that the failure was due to the oxygen sensors being defective. The sensors were replaced twice. The failure began after adding o'reillys octane booster to the fuel tank. While using a funnel the contact observed that there was a sediment in the container after it was added to the fuel tank. He was advised by the mechanic that the sediment was paint thinner. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated after the…

While driving the passenger footwell became drenched with water which startled the driver and obviously the passenger who was wet and her shoes soaked in water. The cause is something jaguar is aware of because they have issued a service bulletin TSB jtb001211 which replaces the drain tube from the AC. This is a real safety concern and many jaguar xk vehicles 2007-2011 have experienced this problem and have been forced to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for the defect to be repaired. Many vehicles are outside of warranty period. The sudden rush of water from the dash is likely to cause a serious accident.

Incident #1 - jan 2013: as I was braking to a stop, the car suddenly went to what I would call "full throttle". My foot was on the brake so I firmly pressed the brake to prevent the car from crashing into my building. I tried pumping the accelerator quickly while practically standing on the brake but that made no difference in the rpms. I pressed the button to stop the engine. I re-started the car and it ran normally. Incident #2 - feb 2013: thinking incident #1, above, was a fluke, I continued driving the car without reporting the incident to my jaguar dealer. My vice president and I stopped…
