Vegas here. I bought a 2012 Jaguar XJ X351 5.0L V8 Base NA with 85k miles about 3 months ago, has dealership service records going all the way back, pristine condition, immaculately maintained.... Aaaaand I've had 13 days of driving in these past 3 months because literally everything on the car keeps failing. This is the most frustrating piece of machinery I've ever encountered in my entire life, I can't imagine what they're like when they're NOT maintained. So far it's required as many maintenance hours as an F-16! She was a real joy to (briefly) drive, however, so I'm looking forward to getting it back on the road again.

 

Welcome aboard Vegas.

 

Welcome to the Forums.

Not the Tech Section, BUT, I do read on here soooo many times, that these silly things are often related to an old/tired/ low charged/etc battery.

Just saying.

Good luck.

 

Hello, Vegas,
This car is only testing you. Jags do that to check if a mere Person is worthy to own them or not.
Seriously, what Grant says above could be your whole problem.

Modern batteries aren't like they used to be when you could leave one on the bench for a couple or 3 months, put it back in the car and away you went with not a care in the world. They're actually quite delicate and require almost specialized care. They certainly do Not like to be the slightest bit discharged in the car (this is how the car was made, not its fault!), because SO much of the electronic magic depends on, in fact Requires a Perfectly Functioning battery.

I hope you get it all resolved soon so you can DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF!!

Well, I'm not sure if a low battery is causing injectors to fail, fuel senders to stop working, sunroof motors to break, window tint to peel, and coolant pipes to explode (and more) all in the first 2 weeks of ownership, but I'm willing to accept any and all possibilities at this point lol.

 

I live where there is almost zero concrete however this is the worst state to have window tint mine was done just before I purchased mine a year ago and is already peeling the dust is so fine but as damaging to tint as sand paper.
