TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JAGUAR XJ8L. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE STARTED THE ENGINE, THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHILCE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V358000 COMPONENT(S): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE A SECOND TIME AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.
CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE & GASOLINE SPILLED UNDER THE CAR DAMAGING GARAGE FLOOR & SMELLING UP THE WHOLE HOUSE & GARAGE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AFTER WE CLEANED UP THE GAS & GOT CAR OUT OF GARAGE. DEALER ADVISED US THAT THEY CHECKED WITH FACTORY & THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER TANK FROM A NEW MANUFACTURER AS THE ONE ON THE AUTO HAD A PROBLEM. STILL WAITING 2 WEEKS LATER FOR CAR AND DEALER STILL CANNOT ASSURE US THAT THE NEW GAS TANK IS FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. JAGUAR KNOWS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE TANKS OUT THERE & THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM, THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN SO THAT THE CUSTOMER MAKES A COMPLAINT. THIS SMACKS OF THE WAY THAT FORD COMPANY (WHICH NOW OWNS JAGUAR) HANDLED THE PINTO GAS TANK PROBLEM IN THE 60'S. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. WE FEEL THAT WE COULD HAVE LOST OUR HOUSE DUE TO THE EXTREME GAS SPILL IN OUR GARAGE OR WORSE WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF IT HAD EXPLODED WHEN WE OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND OUR DEALER SAYS THEY SOLD 60 OF THESE CARS THIS YEAR AND WE ARE JUST 1 OF THE 2 PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD REPORTED TO THEM. I ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THESE 60 VEHICLES AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, A SMELLED GASOLINE WAS OBSERVED WITHIN THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, GASOLINE WAS OBSERVED RUNNING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ALERTED WHO DETERMINED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TOWED BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, CLEANED THE GASOLINE AND THEN TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE SEALS FAILED. THE SEALS WERE REPAIRED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE REPAIRED SEALS COULD NOT BE GUARANTEED. UPDATED 7/25/2006 - ON JULY 7 2006 THE CONSUMER SMELLED THE GAS ODOR AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A NEW FUEL TANK TO INSTALL IN THE VEHICLE. *NM *AK UPDATED 8/25/2006 - *NM
ON MAY 5, 2006, WHEN MY NEW 2006 JAGUAR XJ8 WAS IN THE GARAGE OF MY RESIDENCE, WITH MILEAGE OF 1,634, THE AUTOMOBILE EXPERIENCED A MASSIVE FUEL LEAK LITERALLY FLOODING THE FLOOR OF THE GARAGE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED A FLANGE SEAL, PERFORMED AN OVERNIGHT TEST DRIVE, AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE "OPERATES AS DESIGNED". THEREAFTER, ON JUNE 4, 2006, WITH MILEAGE OF 2,581, ANOTHER MASSIVE FUEL LEAK OCCURRED AND AGAIN THE AUTOMOBILE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AT THIS TIME THE FLANGE SEAL WAS AGAIN FOUND TO BE LEAKING AND THE GAS TANK WAS FOUND TO BE WARPED. ON THIS OCCASION THE FLANGE WAS AGAIN REPLACED AND THE FUEL TANK WAS "RENEWED". WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED JAGUAR TOLL-FREE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE NUMBER AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM THEY STATED THAT THE SITUATION WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR THEM TO HANDLE, AND THAT INSTEAD I SHOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO COME TO REMOVE AND CLEAN FROM THE AREA ANY AND ALL SIGNS OF GASOLINE. LEARNING THAT THIS WOULD TAKE HOURS, I OPTED NOT TO DO SO ALTHOUGH I NOW RECOGNIZE THAT EVEN BY STARTING THE VEHICLE, IMMERSED AS IT WAS IN GASOLINE, A DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION (TO LIFE AND PROPERTY) COULD READILY HAVE OCCURRED. *NM
