2011 Jaguar XJ Complaints

I have a 2011 Jaguar XJL Supercharged with 65,000 miles that has a knocking noise and is in restricted performance mode. The timing chain and tensioner were replaced by a shop, but that did not fix the issue and I’ve been told there is internal engine damage. The internal engine damage has not been identified. The car itself is in excellent shape, but I don’t know how to proceed to address the internal engine damage as the shop is recommending replacing the engine with a used engine from the salvage yard, but that concerns me as I don’t know the history of the engine from the salvage yard. I've done some research and apparently this is a common issue. Does anyone have any insight on how to proceed with an Arizona recall as this is not normal? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A SERIS OF ISSUES PLAQUE THIS MODEL. CHANGED THROTTLE BODY TWICE BUT CAR KEEP SHOWING STABILITY CONTROL NOT AVAILABLE, THROTTLE BODY ACTUATION ISSUES WITH P2119,P2118 CODES AMONG SEVERAL OTHERS. CAR SHAKES AND SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. AT IDLE, THE CAR REV METER GOES UP AND DOWN AND THEN SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO GALPIN JAGUAR OVER 5 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TWO MORE TIMES PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR LITERALLY MONTHS. EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN TOLD, I GOT IT FIXED YET, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THESE SET OF ISSUES HAPPENS AT IDLE, WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAYS, AND CITY STREETS. I HAVE CALLED AAA SO OFTEN I HAVE NO MORE. ANOTHER ISSUE- THE CAR WILL STUCK IN DRIVE GEAR AND STOP AND SHUTS OFF. I HAVE EVEN REPLACED EMC COMPUTER. THE ISSUE STARTED LAST YEAR MARCH BUT STOPPED WHEN I CHANGED THROTTLE BODY AND LASTED ABOUT...

TAKATA RECALL - JAGUAR AND/OR TANAKA SHOULD BEAR THE FINANCIAL COST TO GET OUR UNIT TO A JAGUAR DEALER. THIS IS THEIR SERIOUS DEFICIENCY. WE LIVE AT LEAST 150 MILES FROM A JAGUAR DEALER AND IT IS PATENTLY UNFAIR FOR US TO HAVE THE FINANCIAL AND LOGISTICAL. BURDEN. IT IS NOT AS IF WE ARE ASKING FOR UNREALISTIC COST, LIKE RENTAL CAR.
