2012 Jaguar XJ problems

“The engine has issues where there is a jerk while accelerating at times. I was told of a misfire issue that Jaguars have and have not been corrected. I was driving my 2012 Jaguar XJ on the interstate when it started slowing down. The engine light than appears on the dash and it starts to jerk as I try to speed up to get off the highway it goes from 60mph to 45mph. I take my foot off the gas and press the gas again for the car to jerk and accelerate slowly back up to 60mph. Not only was I almost hit from behind but almost crashed trying to get over and off the road for my safety and others. I was told by a mechanic the car needed a new gas treatment, fuel cap, and tune up all this money paid and no results. The 2012 Jaguar xj still stalls when accelerating. The buttons are melted into a gummy substance and a barely used sunroof wont close has a loud noise when button is touched to try and close it. Worse experience ever with my 1st and last 2012 Jaguar XJ.”

“I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRING THE SUEDE LINING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN FIND ANYONE THAT WILL TOUCH IT! THE WOOD GRAIN HAS FADED AND THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT. THE HORRIBLE BUTTONS WERE MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT LITERALLY BECAME GUMMY. I SPENT HUNDREDS HAVING THEM REPLACED. SUNROOF HAD TO BE REPLACED/MOTOR MORE THAN ONCE, THE CLEAR COAT ON THE BACK PANEL OF THE ROOF HAS PEELED. I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS WITH ALMOST 200,000 MILES THAT HAD PERFECT PAINT WHEN TRADED. THE PAINT ON THIS VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. THIS IS ONLY TO NAME A FEW OF THE ISSUES. I COULD HAVE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE FOR WHAT I HAVE SPENT ON THIS CAR. I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT MOST LIKELY WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JAGUAR.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JAGUAR XJL. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BROWNS JAGUAR IN RICHMOND, VA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUPER CHARGER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE ENGINE/EXHAUST FAILURE, AND THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND TRUST BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE SUSPENSION ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.”

“DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP JULY 23 AND PICKED IT UP ON AUGUST 23 AND MY BRAKE CALIBER FEEL OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AND MY TIE ROD END ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DAMAGE AND MY CAR HAD ONLY 29,000 MILES ON IT. BUT WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR JULY 23 I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY CAR EXCEPT FOR THE SUNSHADE VISOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY.”

“TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE A SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A WATER PUMP, BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRS, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, AND NEW TIRES. MORE RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THERE ARE MULTIPLE LEAKS IN CONNECTIONS RELATED TO THE WATER PUMP PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SOUND IS WHEN IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY; THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS; IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS.”

“2012 JAGUAR XJ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUNROOF MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ELECTRONIC SHADE WOULDN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. IT WOULD CLOSE CROOKED, AND THERE WAS A HORRIBLE CREAKING NOISE THAT CAME ANYTIME, HE TRAVELED ON AN UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE DEALER ADJUSTED, CALIBRATED AND LUBRICATED THE SUNROOF SEVERAL TIMES. *JB”
