Engine
4 reports
“I was driving at a high speed. 65 mph and went to accelerate to pass another vehicle and when I pushed the gas there was no power, the steering wheel locked up and I went off the side of the barley missing the ditch and then stopped. The i tried to restart it and the check engine light came of and after a couple attempts I had to have it towed to Jaguar of tacoma. My car is a 2024 with only 46000 miles on it. This shouldn’t be happening. I have to other vehicle to drive. I commute for work so I need a reliable car, which I did my research and thought this was one.”

“THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS INFLATOR HOUSING SINCE DECEMBER 2017. AS PER A LETTER RECEIVED FROM JAGUAR THE REMEDY WONT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 2019. THAT IS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME- 1 YR AND 4 MONTHS, TO FIX AN ISSUE. EVEN AFTER THAT GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME THEY ARE GOING TO BE TAKE TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS ONCE A REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH. JAGUAR NEEDS TO BE PUSHED SO AS TO COMPLETE THIS ASAP SINCE THIS IS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR.”
Service brakes
1 report
“I took my car for the 35000 mile service and I am needing to replace the lower coolant outlet Y pipe, which has been recalled on Jaguars the same year and manufacturing plant as mine. The part nu,nets are the same ones on the recall. Also the brake axle.? Which I think there may have been a recall. I do t know if you have had any other complaints on this matter, but I feel Jaguar should acknowledge it may have more cars that are defective and fix them.”
