“Obd2 scan shows that the run flat tires are not being protected by a low inflation warning that has been disabled for the vehicle. The recall #09v161000 is revealed by the obd2 computer report saying that there is a recall and providing this info. The manufacture makes claim there is not current recall.

“While driving the passenger footwell became drenched with water which startled the driver and obviously the passenger who was wet and her shoes soaked in water. The cause is something jaguar is aware of because they have issued a service bulletin tsb jtb001211 which replaces the drain tube from the ac. This is a real safety concern and many jaguar xk vehicles 2007-2011 have experienced this problem and have been forced to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for the defect to be repaired. Many vehicles are outside of warranty period. The sudden rush of water from the dash is likely to cause a serious accident. *tr”Owner report · Structure · Feb 2014
“I experienced 4 uncontrolled acceleration events with my leased 2007 jaguar xk coupe in the months prior to march 2009. The car was taken to dealer each time and "extensively tested". There was no answer ever given for the cause. The jaguar north america distributor consumer office was ineffective and unresponsive despite numerous contacts with them. I returned the car to bill knight ford/jaguar tulsa in march 2009 and leased a 2009 jaguar xk. *tr”Owner report · Power Train · Mar 2009
