2014 Jaguar XJ problems

“While driving at 65 mph on the highway, the coolant system failed catastrophically without warning. This sprayed boiling coolant onto the hot engine block, filling the cabin with smoke, blinding visibility, and causing the engine to shut down suddenly in active traffic.”

“Sudden loss of power steering while driving at 40 to 50 mph followed by engine stalling on highway”

“The contact owns a 2014 Jaguar XJ. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the low coolant warning light would appear on the instrument panel. The contact stated that she had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a coolant leak. Despite the repair, the failure immediately recurred. The vehicle was next taken to a dealer where the damaged coolant hose was replaced. Several other unknown repairs were performed on the vehicle; however, the failure returned soon after the repairs. The contact then took the vehicle to two other independent mechanics where they both confirmed the coolant leak failure; however, the failure remained after each repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.”

“BACKED CAR OUT OF GARAGE ONTO DRIVEWAY. PASSENGER SIDE MIRROW WAS NOT IN PROPER POSITION. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND LEFT ENGINE RUNNING. WALKED AROUND CAR AND WHEN I TOUCHED MIRROR VEHICLE STARTED MOVING FORWARD. JUMPED IN PASSENGER DOOR AND LEANING ACROSS CONSOLE PUT HAND ON BRAKE. BOTH DOORS SLAMMED SHUT AND WERE DAMAGED AS DOORS HIT GARAGE FRAME.REACHED UP WITH OTHER HAND AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE AND TOUCHED THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND DEALER HAD TO REPROGRAM SO IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE REVERSE WHERE THE ENGINE WAS IN PARK BUT STARTED MOVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN. DRIVEWAY SLOPES DOWN FROM THE GARAGE TO THE STREET.”
