Consumer Description

2001 JAGUAR S-TYPE V-6. I RECEIVE AN ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE MESSAGE ON DASH. THE CAR HESITATES AND MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. COMPUTER SAYS IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING TO THROTTLE PEDAL UNIT (WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED.) THIS OCCURS PRIMARILY IN THE MORNING WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING AND IT WILL STAY IN THIS MODE FROM 5 TO 10 MINUTES THEN GO TO NORMAL DRIVING MODE. THE LAST TIME IT STAYED IN THE FAILSAFE MODE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. TWO MECHANICS "THINK IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL BUT THEY CANNOT SAY FOR SURE BUT IN THEIR OPINION THIS IS A PART THAT FAILS ON MANY JAGS. THE FAILURE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT CAN HAPPEN. AT SOME STOP LIGHTS IT WILL JUST DIE IN MID-TURNING OF A CORNER. AFTER REPLACING THE THROTTLE PEDAL WHICH WAS ONE OF THE POSSIBLE PARTS PROBLEMS, IT RETURNED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT A WEEK. I CANNOT GET ANY INFORMATION FROM JAGUAR TO SEE IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR JAGUARS. THE ONLY REAL INFORMATION IS ON BLOGS AND CHAT ROOMS ON JAG REPAIRS. THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF BUYING A $ 2000 PART, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
