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.

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.

PROBLEM INVOLVES INTERCOOLER PIPE THAT WAS MADE FOR THE CAR DURING PRODUCTION AND JAGUAR NOW MAKES A NEW INTERCOOLER PIPE DIFFRENT FROM ORIGINAL THAT DOES NOT COME IN THE CAR ORIGINALLY THAT CAUSES CAR TO OVER HEAT AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE AS WELL AS RUINING YOUR WATER PUMP WHICH IN TIME IF NOT TREATED CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND ENGINE DAMAGE ALSO REAR SUSPENSION HAS FAULTY BUSHINGS AND AIR SUSPENSION IS LEAKS CAUSING SUSPENSION TO BREAK DOWN EASILY AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT NOT TO LAST MAY CAUSE SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE MAKING IT HAZARDOUS ON THE ROAD

EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR FUNCTION ON MY 2014 XJ AWD MALFUNCTIONS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I GET THE FAULT MESSAGE, "BLIND SPOT MONITOR BLOCKED" EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE SENSOR. THIS FUNCTION STOPS WORKING UNTIL I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO ROSENTHAL JAGUAR OF TYSON CORNER IN VIENNA, VA TWICE FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. OTHER JAGUAR OWNERS WITH THIS FEATURE IN THEIR VEHICLES ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE JAGUAR VEHICLES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED SO THAT A SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND A RECALL CAN BE CONDUCTED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
