Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE CAR JUST CROSSED THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND I PUT GAS IN, CAR WAS ON EMPTY AND TURNED OFF, AND AFTER ABOUT SEVEN GALLONS OF GAS, GAS STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ( SAFETY RECALL # 06V418000) IN THE 2005 JAGUAR S TYPE, THAT SEEMS TO BE EXACTLY WHAT THIS 2000 S TYPE IS DOING. DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL MATCHING MY V.I.N. , I FEEL LIKE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE. THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER PLACING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY, THE ODOR WOULD BE SO INTENSE THAT IT WOULD GIVE HER AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS A HEADACHE. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MUFFLER SYSTEM. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ODOR RETURNED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06E056000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED
