There are 2 recalls that apply to my car and Jag wants to do nothing, as expected. R17652014/08/18Recall - Fuel Tank Replacement NHTSA06V4180002006/10/23Recall 06V418000: Fuel Tank replacement What do we need to do to get Jag to conform t the nature of these recalls.

2005 Jaguar s-type r fuel tank recall fuel tank has large EVAP leak, had to remove fuel tank to find where the leak was during a smoke test. Fuel tank had been replaced during a recall in 2007, now that tank has a large crack on one of the fuel modules on top of tank the not only leaks fuel/vapors but also illuminates "check engine light". Jaguar says they have complied with the recall and is now a replacement at owners expense even though Jaguar issued technical bulletin r176nas5 on aug. 18, 2014 that re-identifies this issue and assigns a new fuel tank conversion kit to fix the band-aid that was done in 2007. This fault causes state inspection failure thus unable to register vehicle rendering vehicle useless not to mention unsafe to drive with a fuel/vapor leak constantly present.

Dt*: the contact stated there was a crunching noise from the front end. The nature of the failure was permanent. The service dealer was unable to determine the problem. Also, the automatic lock system locked randomly. The service dealer disconnected the locked system, which fixed the problem.*ak

A strong smell of gas is evident in the cabin of the car when driving and it's been getting worse. After the gas tank is filled, it gets to the point where the vapors are making my families eyes water and we have to open all of the windows/sunroof and it's still bad. I have worked on many of my own cars in the past and I can tell you -it's a good thing I don't smoke because this car would have exploded. The vapors are that strong and I'm amazed there is no evidence of gas leaking out of the car, which would be extremely flammable. I've researched my car's history today, as we just got our car repaired and the problem is worse. I found out about recall r176 which is due to defective gas tanks and mine should have been replaced. But Jaguar(Ford) only repaired my tank seals during the recall

My car starting leaking gasoline after filling up the tank. I have spent the last 8 months trying to get Jaguar to supply a retainer ring to my original fuel tank. I know that my fuel tank was covered by recall campaign #06v418000. According to Jaguar they say they already checked my tank for leaks in 2007 and then reinstalled the original tank. I also know that subsequently the fuel tank was redesigned and the parts for the redesigned tank do not fit on the original defective tank (this includes the retainer ring). Since this is a safety issue I would like your input on how to proceed to ensure Jaguar will correct this dangerous issue with the fuel tank leak that should be replaced by the government mandated recall. *tr

When I tried to start the vehicle, it would not start. There was a heavy fuel leak onto the ground, coming from underneath the vehicle. This occurred only when the ignition was turned on. I had the vehicle towed to the Jaguar dealer and repair shop. The repairman disconnected the fuel pump power, pushed the vehicle into the shop, raised the vehicle using the hoist and inspected the fuel line. He found the fuel line was completely disconnected at the coupler in the middle of the vehicle. The repairman stated there was no damage to the belly pan or the fuel line so he has no idea why this happened. *tr

After engaging reverse, the transmission froze. The transmission would not shift from reverse and into drive or any other gear. The vehicle had to be towed to the shop. The diagnosis was "[transmission] cable selector bolts backed out." the vehicle was repaired after the installation of new selector cable bolts. Had these bolts come loose while driving on a busy street, a serious crash would have occurred. I have just read where other Jaguar owners have also reported this malfunction to NHTSA and decided to report it, too. *tr
