20100826ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2011 XJ IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE CONTAINED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V332000 FOR THE XK AND XF. SPECIFICALLY, VEHICLE ENGINE WILL STUTTER AS IF ABOUT TO STALL, WHICH IS MOST NOTICEABLE WITHIN THE FIRST 30 MINUTES AFTER START UP, BUT PERSISTS IN VARYING DEGREES AT ALL TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLING. PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING. PROBLEM REPORTED TO DEALER WHO HAD INDICATED A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN THE FUTURE SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT NO INDICATION GIVEN ON WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. PROBLEM SOUNDS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V332000, WHICH NOTES A CRASH COULD OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO CONFIRM IF THE 2011 XJ SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

20100806ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I LEASED A BRAND NEW, 2011 JAGUAR XJ SUPERCHARGED, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITHIN THE FIRST 1,000 MILES, THE FIRST OF WHICH PRESENTS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK. 1) THE TFT DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY WILL VANISH WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THE PROBLEM USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN EXITING A DARK GARAGE AND ENTERING DAYLIGHT, BUT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DIGITAL DASH WILL REMAIN BLANK FOR UP TO 15 SECONDS USUALLY BEFORE SLOWLY REAPPEARING. PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IT IS DISTRESSING AND DANGEROUS WHEN IT DOES. 2) AUDIO AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. WHEN NAVIGATION WAS OPERATING, IT WAS DIRECTING YOU TO MAKE IMPOSSIBLE DRIVING MANEUVERS. 3) POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED. 4) NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS, THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY SAFETY ISSUES (HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER). *TR
