| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After starting the engine, it began to make noise and had a rough idle. the restricted performance message flashed and then the engine died. the timing chain tensioner failed and jumped mechanical timing, which seems to be a very common problem. this could have caused an accident because all power steering and brakes were lost while driving the vehicle through a busy intersection. if you read on any jaguar forum, this is a problem that is common with the jaguar 4.0 v8 from 1998 through 2000. |
