Engine and Engine Cooling · at 36,000 miles · reported Jul 14, 2011
My 2000 xj8 jaguar, with approximately 36k miles, began running very badly and surging unexpectedly. The car became very dangerous to drive and I narrowly avoided having, what could have been severe accidents, on more than one occasion. The car was taken to two jaguar dealers, who could not identify the problem. One kept saying the car needed a new throttle body. After the car had its third throttle body, at my expense...and after getting the new jersey jaguar representative involved, the dealership decided the problem probably was not the throttle body. The car has been to three other…
Electrical System · at 38,000 miles · reported Aug 17, 2009
My 2000 xj8 begins to surge after the vehicle runs for a few minutes. You must stand on the brake pedal with both feet to keep from surging into another car at a stop sign or red light.

Also, it did not indicate any problems. Car was taken back…

A fire occurred within the dashboard. Flaming pieces of plastic and parts dropped to the floormat and set fire to the carpet. The vehicle cabin quickly filled with heavy smoke. It all happened so fast - I was able to pull the vehicle to the side of the interstate and barely cleared the car before the entire passenger cabin burst into flames. I called 911 - by the time firefighters arrived, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames.…

Car purchased in jan 2003 problem first occurred in aug 2004 while driving my normal route to work. Called dealer and explained that a warning light came on "engine coolant low" . Asked them to advise me on what to do. They said to bring in asap. I took car in the following day and they said they 'topped" it off meaning they added fluids and that was all I needed. The problem was fixed. Over the course of the next 3 years I took my car into dealership approx every 3 mos for a problem that by this time the dealer said it could not be fixed however that there was no reason for concern as it was…
