ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE DURING 'SUDDEN STOP' CAUSING CRASH. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT COOL CAR OFF, EVEN AT LOWEST TEMP. SET AND HIGHEST FAN SETTING; CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS AS OF THIS DATE; CAR DOES NOT TAKE FUEL - AUTO SHUT-OFF PREVENTS IT FROM ACCEPTING FUEL; DURING RECENT CRASH CAUSED BY TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE, AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON BUT NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED - WHY DIDN'T THE AIR BAG DEPLOY?; LOW FUEL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON; REMOTE WILL NOT LOCK CAR, ONLY UNLOCK

MY 2005 JAGUAR 3.0 S WAS PROCEEDING EASTWARD ON A CITY STREET WITHIN THE 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT BECAME NECESSARY TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID A CAR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC LANE. BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO SLOWING OF VEHICLE AT ALL CAUSING MY CAR TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE.
SOME PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE FUEL TANKS IN WHICH THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE (FDM), JET PUMP MODULE (JPM), AND/OR CLUSTER VALVE (CV) SEALS ARE NOT PROPERLY RETAINED IN THE FUEL TANK. THIS MAY RESULT IN ILLUMINATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL), OR A FUEL ODOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS ABOVE THE FDM, JPM, OR CV APERTURES, FUEL MAY BE DISCHARGED ONTO THE GROUND. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANKS TO DETERMINE IF REVISED SEALS MAY BE USED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IF NOT, DEALERS WILL THEN REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. DUE TO PROBLEMS IN OBTAINING THE REPLACEMENT FUEL TANKS, THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 29 THROUGH MARCH 30, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, "PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEM." THE BRAKE FLUID MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS RECESSED AND ORIENTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BENEATH A LEAF SCREEN, SUCH THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING STATEMENT EMBOSSED ON THE TOP OF THE RESERVOIR BODY IS NOT VISIBLE BY DIRECT VIEW.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT LETTERS WHICH WILL INCLUDE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LABELS CONTAINING THE REQUIRED WARNING STATEMENT. IF THEY PREFER, OWNERS MAY CONTACT DEALERS TO HAVE THEM INSTALL THE LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
