Just pulled onto the interstate and was excelling, (55 mph) heard what sounded like "pop" and the car immediately went into a "restricted performance" mode. I pulled over immediately to see if I had popped a tire; however white smoke was plumming from the exhaust. I couldn't drive my car at all. I then contacted roadside and they picked the car up. Then called Jaguar of in atlanta and described what happened. I was told that the turbo had probably gone out. Jaguar service confirmed the turbo had indeed gone out, as well air coolant fan and possibly fuel injector sensor. So far at $5K. Upon doing some research it's been found that a plethora of people with the same vehicle, around the same mileage (56K miles), are having this same issue. When is a recall going to be issued and all of us get our money back for this negligence.

I was driving on the highway at about 65 MPH and the car just locked up and stopped working. Everything on the dashboard began flashing. Luckily I had enough momentum to pull over to the side of the road. I took it to Tacoma Jaguar who refused to even diagnose it for over two weeks. When they finally diagnosed it they informed my husband and myself that the timing belt snapped and I needed an entirely new engine which would cost $32,000!!! The car is BARELY 5 years old and has less than 60,000 miles on it.

This has happened to us 3 times where we would have between 17-25 miles left on gas in our car and the vehicle would completely shut down on us; once on the freeway and once on an extremely busy street. Once the car shuts down, we can turn it on in terms of lights, music etc. however the car will not come back on to drive. I-€™ve reported this to jaguar in San Francisco more than once and they keep saying it-€™s the gas. Our gas never reaches the red line.

My wife was at a stop sign and proceeded to make a left hand turn. Once completing the turn onto a 35mph road she heard what she described as a "pop" and the car immediately went into a "restricted performance" mode. She pulled over immediately and called me. I then called Jaguar of portland and described what happened. He said to turn the car off and back on again. If the "restricted performance" icon is gone than go ahead and drive it home. My wife did exactly that and the icon was gone so she proceeded down the road again. She drove about 2,000 ft. When she said she noticed some white smoke coming from the exhaust so she pulled over and shut the car off again. I then contacted Jaguar roadside and they picked the car up. I have been told that the turbo had gone out and that the engine was going to need replaced. All of this after only a week to a week and a half after Jaguar performed a full maintenance/service on the vehicle and replaced a thermostat. Upon doing some research it's been found that a lot of people with the same vehicle, around the same mileage, are having engines replaced.

While driving on the 75 hwy my timing chain broke (common for this engine, I am finding out) and the engine shut off causing me to brake and nearly getting rear ended. Then while trying to cross two lanes trying to get to the shoulder without any power, I nearly got hit several times. Beyond a major safety issue, timing chain failure resulting in needing new engine.

The vehicle, which was less than 18 mos old, was at random times having difficulty starting (chugging and hesitating). I took it into the shop, and after one day they said they could not replicate the problem. Then, about a week later I was sitting at a red light in heavy traffic when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly shut off. I depressed the brake and pressed the button to start the car, but nothing happened. Then, I pressed it again and it chugged a little. I pressed it again and it chugged and hesitated a bit before starting. The light had already turned green and I was holding up traffic. I was able to drive home and called the Jaguar Land Rover dallas dealership to alert them to the problem and was told they couldn't get to it for at least two to five weeks because they had so many other cars in for service! I did some online research and saw others have had this same issue. It seems to be a problem with the energy saving auto stop/start feature that must be disabled every time one starts the vehicle to render it safe to drive. This is a major safety issue that needs to be investigated and addressed.
