I drove 3 miles, parked got back in car and the dashboard light up with:
Stability Control Fail
Traction Control Fail
I read the manual and do not know what to do?

Is it safe to drive?
What is wrong with her and how much can I anticipate spending to fix her?

I am confused?

Chris, I had that problem on my 04 XJ8. Took it to Rosenthal Jaguar and they said that the throttle body was dirty and that I had to replace it. Well they replaced it and reset the computer and all is well. When I got my car back the AC blower was not working though. Does anyone know where the blower is? Chris sorry to tell you this but the damage was a little over $1200...the part alone was around $700. I suggest you take it a Jaguar shop and not the dealer if you can. You know the stealership is usually a little more expensive than a personal shop. They cost to drive but I still love my Kitty Cat. Stay safe.
