The contact owns a 2005 Jaguar S-Type. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware of a fuel odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was determined that the fuel tank, fuel pump, flange, retaining ring, pipe feed, fuel tank straps, heat shield, fuel hose, heat sleeve, evaporator pipe, electronic control unit, fuel tank harness, cable tie, and cabin overlay wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.
#11422517 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | | N/A miles
My wife's 2005 Jaguar S-Type R leaks fuel, and is worst after refilling the tank. The car frequently loses all engine power while driving with no warning. It frequently refuses to restart, and then I have to have it towed sometimes at great distances from home at a cost of over $700 to my repair shop in Virginia. My wife is now too afraid to drive the car because of the gas fumes, fear of a fire, and sudden engine failure. My service technician at Mountain Valley Motors believes the problem has to do with a faulty Jaguar fuel system.
