Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Exterior lighting

2 reports
“LHS Headlight, DRL is getting dim due to a defective part inside the headlight housing, this also affects the brightness of the turn signal, which constitutes a safety issue when turning. The car as such is quite low, so proper illumination to be visible is very important.”

Power train

2 reports
“What happened? Starting in October 2020, my 2019 Jaguar F-Type experienced persistent electrical and fuel injector system failures affecting cylinders 1 and 5, resulting in multiple engine misfires and reduced engine performance. The vehicle’s fuel injector connectors, specifically connector C1E121A, had misaligned pins causing injector circuit faults (DTC codes P0262, P0274) and frequent misfire codes (P0301, P0305, P0300). These defects caused the vehicle to run roughly and unpredictably, creating a safety risk by compromising engine power and potentially causing loss of control, especially during startup and acceleration. Warning lights and engine fault codes were present throughout the issue. Jaguar dealerships confirmed the problem multiple times through diagnostic testing and extensive inspections, including wiring tests, fuel system checks, and control module evaluations. Despite repeated repairs, including connector reseating and injector replacements during the powertrain warranty period, the defect was never permanently fixed. The vehicle was out of service for over 6 months from August 2021 to April 2022 due to attempts to resolve the problem. After…”

“Vehicle: 2019 Jaguar F-Type Purchase Date: September 2018 Component/System: Engine – Fuel Injection / Powertrain Mileage at Most Recent Failure: 20,763 Description: My 2019 Jaguar F-Type has experienced recurring engine issues related to fuel injector failures, causing safety risks and rendering the vehicle inoperable. The problem began in Oct 2020 with engine misfires and a check engine light. Jaguar Buckhead diagnosed failed fuel injectors (cylinders 1 and 5) and replaced them under warranty. In Sept 2021, the issue reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to Jaguar South Atlanta, but delays and lack of urgency led me to transfer the vehicle to Jaguar Buckhead. They again replaced the injectors. Repair spanned several months. In Jan 2025, the same issue returned. Jaguar Buckhead diagnosed injector failures again (same cylinders). A second certified dealer now recommends full engine replacement at over $33,000. The vehicle has been out of service since Jan 28, 2025, and for over 360 days total since purchase. I have provided work orders, invoices, and error codes (P0301, P0305, P1316, P1000) to the manufacturer. No lasting fix has been made, and the car is still…”
