The 1995JAGUARXJ6 carries 16 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 3 crashes, 1 fire, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 1995 XJ6 is vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal with 2 filings, followed by engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:gas recirculation valve (egr valve) (2) and vehicle speed control:linkages (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 2 investigation files overlapping the 1995 XJ6. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

WHEN ATTEMPTING ACCELERATE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE DUE TO THE THROTTLE PLATE BEING STUCK. *TS THE IDLE PLATE BECAME STUCK AT IDLE AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY. THIS WAS THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAPPENED. EACH TIME THE DEALER CLEANED THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. AFTER THE FIFTH INCIDENT THE DEALER NO LONGER ACCEPTED FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ON BEHALF OF JAGUAR. THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE THE CONSUMER THAT A STICKING THROTTLE WAS A NORMAL THE CONDITION THAT REQUIRED PERIODIC MAINTENANCE EVERY 10000 MILES. *NM

MY NAME IS [XXX]. I AM TAKING MY CAR IN TOMORROW (2/19/04) TO HAVE THE THROTTLE POST(?) REPLACED. THEY (THE SERVICE PEOPLE) HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL WITH AGE. THE PROBLEM IS THE ACCELERATOR STICKS AT VARIOUS POSITIONS AND MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE PRICE QUOTE WAS $650. I ASKED IF JAGUAR COVERED THIS AND WAS TOLD NO, IT IS NORMAL WEAR. I FIND THAT HARD TO ACCEPT GIVEN ALL THE RECALLS OVER LESS IMPORTANT ITEMS. I BELIEVE IF THEY (THE SERVICE PEOPLE) KNOW THIS, IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU COMMENT ON THIS. THE RIGHT ANSWER FROM YOU WOULD BE: WE WILL COVER THE COSTS BECAUSE WE WOULD PREFER TO HAVE YOU AS A HAPPY AND ALIVE CUSTOMER RATHER THAN ANY OTHER OPTION. I AM NOT SURE WHY I SHOULD BEAR THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RELATED TO MY DRIVING OR TO CAR MAINTENANCE. 1995 JAGUAR XJ6, 69,500 MILES, [XXX]. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND HOW I SHOULD PROCEED. I WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE REPA
