A strong smell of gas is evident in the cabin of the car when driving and it's been getting worse. After the gas tank is filled, it gets to the point where the vapors are making my families eyes water and we have to open all of the windows/sunroof and it's still bad. I have worked on many of my own cars in the past and I can tell you -it's a good thing I don't smoke because this car would have exploded. The vapors are that strong and I'm amazed there is no evidence of gas leaking out of the car, which would be extremely flammable. I've researched my car's history today, as we just got our car repaired and the problem is worse. I found out about recall R176 which is due to defective gas tanks and mine should have been replaced. But Jaguar(Ford) only repaired my tank seals during the recall. This evidently didn't work and now this failure is putting my family in harms way. I just spent more than $1,000 trying to remedy the problem, before I knew there was a recall as the dealer did not inform me there was a recall when I directly asked whether the warping gas tanks (as he explained) were ever recalled. Why should any car's gas tank need replacing due to warping"?" I read my repair receipt from yesterday and the service department only replaced one seal and "re-fit" the other. This is not how you repair a car, they didn't fix it. They put it back together with the same parts on one side. Now the gas tank has been repaired twice by the dealer since the recall, I'm out more than $1,000 because the dealer didn't accept responsibility that their fix didn't work and now I'm left driving a potential fire hazard.

My car starting leaking gasoline after filling up the tank. I have spent the last 8 months trying to get Jaguar to supply a retainer ring to my original fuel tank. I know that my fuel tank was covered by recall campaign #06V418000. According to Jaguar they say they already checked my tank for leaks in 2007 and then reinstalled the original tank. I also know that subsequently the fuel tank was redesigned and the parts for the redesigned tank do not fit on the original defective tank (this includes the retainer ring). Since this is a safety issue I would like your input on how to proceed to ensure Jaguar will correct this dangerous issue with the fuel tank leak that should be replaced by the government mandated recall.

When I tried to start the vehicle, it would not start. There was a heavy fuel leak onto the ground, coming from underneath the vehicle. This occurred only when the ignition was turned on. I had the vehicle towed to the Jaguar dealer and repair shop. The repairman disconnected the fuel pump power, pushed the vehicle into the shop, raised the vehicle using the hoist and inspected the fuel line. He found the fuel line was completely disconnected at the coupler in the middle of the vehicle. The repairman stated there was no damage to the belly pan or the fuel line so he has no idea why this happened.

I would like to start by sharing with you that I am a father, husband, friend and active member of the community that I am part of. Today, I am contacting you because I am extremely concerned about an issue that has occurred with our family car that we purchased only two months ago. I am concerned because I feel that driving this car presents a high danger and can cause a tragic accident harming not just me, but my children whom I drive to anf from school, my wife and friends and other fellow drivers who drive on the same streets and highways I do. The details of my concern and complain are as follows and I hereby request that your organization investigate this matter until the cause of it as well as the permanent resolution is found and reached for the benefit of all the drivers on the road - who are not just drivers but also parents, children, siblings, spouses and friends to those in their lives. In the two months I have owned a 2005 S type Jaguar, I have had to take it to the dealer twice with the same problem which the Jaguar mechanics have not been able to figure out the root cause of. The issue involves the car shutting down right in the middle of the street without warning. The dealer has told me that the fuel system/pump is failing on the car, however, they are not able to determine what causes the fuel pump system to fail. Since I have taken the car now twice in two months, the dealer is telling me that they will not fix it again if the fuel system fails. I am extremely concerned because the dealer/manufacturer now does not want to take ownership of the issue and identify and correct the root cause of the problem which I found out through an attorney is a known problem for these cars and there was actually had a recall under NHTSA's campaign id number: 06V418000.
