WHILE TRAVELING ALONG A BUSY HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN. WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THE ENGINE TO START BACK UP. WE EVENTUALLY NEEDED POLICE ASSISTANCE TO MOVE THE CAR FROM THE FAR LEFT OF THE HIGHWAY TO THE FAR RIGHT (SHOULDER). THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PUCHASED IT 9 DAYS PRIOR. THERE WAS GAS IN THE CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON.THE CAR STOPPED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN IT UP WITH RIGHT REAR IN A LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 JAGUAR S-TYPE SINCE ABOUT 2011. BUT SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK IT LEAKS, WHICH I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS OVER FILL. BUT NOW I REALIZED IT WAS NOT. I TOOK IT TO A AUTO SHOP WHO TOLD ME IT HAS A GAS LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK. HE MENTIONED THAT JAGUARS HAD A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK AND THAT THIS ONE MAY HAVE BEEN DONE WRONG SINCE THE FIX DID NOT WORK AND IT WAS STILL LEAKING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED BY THE RECALL IN 2007 BUT SINCE IT WAS STILL LEAKING I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE (JAGUAR MOTORS) TO SEE IF THE FIX WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL SINCE IT MAY HAVE NOT FIXED THE LEAK. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN NOT SEALED CORRECTLY BUT ONLY JAGUAR MOTORS COULD APPROVE THEM TO RESEAL OR REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I CALLED THEM AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE (TERRENCE) SAYING IT WAS DONE IN 2007 AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ANY MORE. I TOLD TERRENCE THE RECALL DIDN'T WORK AND THE CAR IS STILL DANGEROUS. HE SAID JAGUAR REPLACED THE TANK AND THAT IS ALL THEY HAD TO DO. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS NOT DONE RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL LEAKING AND HE SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. I AM WONDERING HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS CAR AND SHOULDN'T JAGUAR FIX THEIR RECALLS CORRECTLY TO MEET RECALL STANDARDS? I AM ALSO WONDERING WHAT I CAN DO...
