2007 JAGUAR XK Electrical System Problems

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A KEYLESS START OPTION. ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 3 DAYS, THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING WHEN THE START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED. ON EACH OCCASION, AFTER 5-6 ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE ENGINE, EACH TIME THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN EITHER D OR R. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, THE CAR WOULD START AND OPERATE NORMALLY. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DEALER SERVICE AND EACH TIME THE TECHNICIAN WOULD NOTE "NO PROBLEM FOUND-COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM." IN BOTH INSTANCES, TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED ALL KEYS. IN THE SECOND INSTANCE, THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN ALL KEYS. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. *TR
