2015 Jaguar XF problems

“the engine stopped working. The dealer said a new was required since the engine no longer had enough compression in one cylinder. The car had only 83,000 miles. In talking with other repair shops, they said this is a common feature in many 2015 XFs.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR BUTTONS AND SWITCHES WERE STICKY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARETTI JAGUAR LAND ROVER BATON ROUGE (13934 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70817, (225) 756-5247) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE DOOR WINDOW SWITCH, FRONT AND REAR WINDOW SWITCH PACK, AUX TRUNK RELEASE, CRUISE CONTROL, STEERING WHEEL, AIR CONDITION AND RADIO CONTROLS, TRANSMISSION CONTROLS, AND FACIA SWITCH PACK TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED A DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,753.”

“THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK CAUSED BY A WIRE CONTAINING A HOLE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CAR TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE WHEN SITTING INSIDE. POSSIBLY, CAUSED BY THE TOP OF THE CAR RUBBING AGAINST THE WIRE, DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. SERVICE ADVISOR MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS NOT DUE TO THE OWNER/DRIVER'S FAULT AND IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW RECALLS BY JAGUAR CONCERNING THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT JAGUAR SAYS MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED SIMPLY BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH.”

“My vehicle has about 68k miles, I have always serviced the vehicle properly. While driving the car my steering locked up and my vehicle lost all power on a busy road with my children in the car. Luckily we are safe but this is very dangerous. I have had the car inspected by several certified and insured mechanics and the engine pulley broke off of my engine block causing my entire engine and steering to shut down. Every mechanic says this is not normal and should not have happened at this mileage or without a huge impact and they all agree it is a safety hazard especially since the car gave no waring of engine needing to be serviced.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Jaguar XF. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken for inspection, and the contact was advised that the front driver’s side ball joint on the suspension was cracked and needed to be replaced. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.”

“I was pulling onto my street and my steering wheel locked. The car was still running and the message said battery not charging. I had never experienced this. I panicked and powered the car off in the middle of the street. I turned it back it i could move forward but the steering wheel was locked. I got the car towed. 3 times because only jaguar can fix the problem. It’s the crankshaft pulley. My issue is my car is a 2015. There was a recall on this part March 2016. It was fixed by the dealership June 2016. I purchased the car January 2017. How is it that this part has gone bad so fast. Also with this part being able to break down out of no where why isn’t some kind of dashboard warning? There was no warning sound no lights or anything. Thank god I made it off the freeway. If this was a know issue in 2016 why not create a warning other than “battery not charging”? Now I face a $2000 repair and could have had a serious accident being broke down in the middle of traffic out of no where.”
