Jaguar Vanden plas problems
The Jaguar XJ (X308) is a full-size luxury saloon car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars for years 1997–2003 across two generations and featuring the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine and Jaguar independent rear suspension. It was the third and final evolution of the Jaguar XJ40 platform that had been in production since 1986. It was preceded by the Jaguar XJ (X300).
Exterior
The X308 kept much of the same exterior styling as its predecessor, the Jaguar XJ (X300), carrying its rounded four-headlamp bonnet, low roofline, sloping tail, and wrap-around rear light clusters. From the front, the two generations can be differentiated by the shape of the indicator lenses (rectangular on the X300, oval on the X308), and also by the shape of the fog lamps and lower valance air intake, both of which are more rounded on the X308.
The front and rear bumpers were both changed along with the taillights which had red/clear lenses rather than red/grey lenses. The grille surround and badging was slightly changed. The headlight fixtures also included forward parking lights housed with the brights, new to X308.

Jaguar Vanden plas 2001
- Date Of Incident: 2006-04-01
- Date Complaint: 2014-04-24
- VIN: SAJDA24C71L
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: OUR JAGUAR KEY IS UNIQUE FROM OTHER KEYS IN THAT IT IS CYLINDRICAL WITH SMALL NUBS STICKING OUT. WE NEVER HAVE MORE THAN THE SINGLE KEY ON A KEY RING, SO THERE'S NEVER EXCESS WEIGHT ON THE KEY WHILE IT'S INSERTED, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE KEYS IN OUR LIFE. DUE TO WHERE WE LIVE WE DON'T LOCK OUR HOUSE, SO NO KEYS ARE NECESSARY. THE JAGUAR IS MY WIFE'S CAR, SHE'S TALL, BUT I'M VERY TALL AT 6'4", SO MY KNEE IS HIGHER THAN HERS WHEN I'M DRIVING HER CAR. ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN I'M DRIVING HER CAR, IF MY KNEE MOVES OVER AND TOUCHES THE IGNITION KEY, FREQUENTLY THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M TAKING A LEFT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS I LOSE ALL POWER CONTROL OF THE CAR, THE CAR STOPS SUDDENLY WITHOUT ME HITTING THE BRAKES, SO HOPEFULLY THE GUY BEHIND ME STOPS IN TIME EVEN THOUGH MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T LIGHT, AND IT ALWAYS PRESENTS AND EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT SHUT OFF ON ME AT 70 MPH? I ASSUMED IT WAS THE QUIRKY REPUTATION OF JAGUARS, BUT NOW AFTER LEARNING ABOUT GM'S ISSUE WITH HEAVY KEY CHAINS, I SEE THAT OUR ISSUE IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR NOT BECAUSE OF HEAVY KEY CHAINS, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD BE A DESIGN FLAW OF THE BARREL-SHAPED JAGUAR KEY NOT BEING VERY ROBUST IN MAINTAINING CONTACT WITHIN THE IGNITION SWITCH HOUSING. I CALLED JAGUAR USA MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AGO, THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS ABOUT TAKING IT TO A DEALER TO GET IT FIXED, BUT THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO WITH THIS JAG KEY DESIGN. IN GENERAL I'M VERY HAPPY WITH JAGUAR, WE'VE OWNED 5 NOW BETWEEN ME AND MY WIFE, BUT THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED JAG, THEY HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THROUGH, SO NOW I'M DOING WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT ANYWAY TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO OTHERS, SO I'M CONTACTING YOU. *TR

Jaguar Vanden plas 2000
- Date Of Incident: 2009-08-14
- Date Complaint: 2009-08-18
- Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- Summary: VEHICLE STALLS AND GOES INTO A ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE RANDOMLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE WHEN IT GOES IN THIS MODE IT REDUCES POWER TO THE ENGINE LEAVING THE DRIVER STUCK TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH JAGUAR THROTTLE BODIES ON THIS MODEL THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE FIXED BY THE TIME THEY MADE THE 2000 MODEL BUT I THINK IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODELS UP TO 1999 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODIES REPLACED. IT SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED 2000 AS WELL. *TR

- Summary: I HAVE A MALFUNCTIONING SEATBELT IN A 1990 JAGUAR XJ6 (VAN DEN PLAS). SEATBELT REPAIR IS WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE LOCAL JAGUAR DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THE PART REQUIRED IS NOT AVAILABLE AND HAS TWICE INDICATED THERE IS "NO ETA" ON ITS ARRIVAL. I AM THUS DRIVING AROUND UNSAFELY AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT RELIABLY PROVIDE THE PART EXCEPT FOR AT SOME UNKNOWN TIME IN THE FUTURE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNSAFE BUT I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT. I AM HOPING SOME PRESSURE CAN BE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON THE MANUFACTURES DELINQUENCY BEFORE I GET MAIMED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SEAT BELT WARRANTY THAT IS DE FACTO NOT A WARRANTY AT ALL. I HAVE A MALFUNCTION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NO PROBLEM TO GET THAT PART, IN FACT I CAN HAVE IT THE NEXT DAY. IT IS MORE THAN A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, AND THUS WORTHY OF THE ATTENTION OF THE DOT, THAT THE LIFE THREATENING PARTS THAT COST THE CUSTOMER MONEY ARE AVAILABLE NEXT DAY BUT THE PARTS WHICH ARE TO BE PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY/DEALER UNDER WARRANTY ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY PRICE. *TR
