Fuel/propulsion system

49 reports
“Item was recalled and supposed to be fixed by jaguar recall: 12V521000, however after it was “fixed” the same issue is occurring and the vehicle is leaking gasoline. Jaguar is stating that wither or not it was fixed correctly it has been closed and I would be responsible for repairs although the recall was not properly fixed initially!”

Air bags

13 reports3 related recalls
“WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM VAN BUICK/GMC IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA THEY ASSURED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, ITS RECALLS, AND WINDSHIELD. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CODES I RECEIVED FROM AUTOZONE REFLECT AIRBAG AND FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM ERRORS. ALTHOUGH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ON INSIDE OF THE CABIN, THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO LIFT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. ALSO THE REAR SEAT CHILD SEAT ANCHORS DO NOT EXIST. THEY ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN I TRANSPORT DAILY. ALMOST DAILY, THE ENGINE WILL STALL OR LAG AND I CAN HEAR WHINING COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER BACK SEAT WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS. I'M AFRAID THAT THE SMELL OF GASOLINE AND THAT SOUND MEANS I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. IT STALLS WHEN RUNNING AND WHEN SITTING IDLE. IT'S WORSE AT AN IDLE. IT STALLS OR STUTTERS DAILY. I'M AFRAID THESE 3 THINGS WHICH I'VE SEEN ON RECALL LISTS RELATED TO THIS TYPE OF CAR WERE SEVERELY OVERLOOKED AND ARE A DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN.”

Electrical system

12 reports
“My car also has the ongoing issue of the panel located between my speedometer and odometer the screen will randomly flicker and go out and then come back on I have notice the temperature when it's hot affects it worse that the winter but it happens all the time which scares me as I don't k ow when my car has issues as this is the only area that it will tell me my car is overheating amongst other notifications I called Jaguar and they want to charge me $3000+ to fix this. This is a defect ND should be replaced and not at the cost of the owner of the vehicle.”

Engine

12 reports
“WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON, IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE GAS IS NOT TRAVELING SOMEWHERE AND CAUSES IT TO TAKE A WHILE. HAVING IT CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY IS A VERY SCARY THING. I SEE RECALLS YET THEY'RE ACTING AS IF MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY IT.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.
