I took my car in for an alignment.after checking under the car, the mechanics realized that the coolant tubing was made of plastic and broke.they stated that if i drove the car, i would be in danger of the car smoking and maybe catching fire.i had to replace the coolant.i was informed the jaguar has changed their engineering of this risk due to the number of complaints and repairs.i also have a 2012 xf and it has the same issue within the same week which is costing me $2200 to replace.this is a serious issue if the coolant issues results is smoking an potential fire of the engine.
Timing chain guides wear very easily make of weak or poor quality metal.
When my car was diagnosed it said that all 8 cylinders were misfiring. I was informed that it is almost impossible for all 8 cylinders to go out at the same time. I was informed that there was an emission recall on some jaguar and my vin number falls within that range. However the only recall that pops up for my car is the airbag one. Please look into it because my car is very un stable. The engine is knocking rocking back and forth cause my whole car to shake and rock. It looses power will cut off at random. Restricted performance light is on and car will not excelerate
Timing chain noise the engine makes a loud timing chain noise which is leading to timing chain failure which can lead to fatalities
Car started smelling like gas and garage had smell. Today 4/15/2021 noticed fuel dripping under the fuel tank area.
Jaguar customis having problem with the plastic coolant outlet pipe and the crossover pipe leaking there was three custom there at the same time i was there with the same problem which is a costly problem jaguar want $3,700 to fix this problem juguar such be made to correct this problem and stop from making money on custom for and defect part they have put in these vehicle they know is inferior please start a class action against this company for this part.
It started off as a small coolant leak but after spotting coolant on the overflow hose, i noticed a crack in the plastic hose.replacing that hose didn't stop the problem; coolant kept leaking and i had to buy another bottle. I then brought my car to a mechanic who pressure tested it and said the water pump needs to be replaced.he replaces it for $734, we pressure test it, all seems good. A couple days later i start leaking a large amount of coolant again so i purchase a new bottle of coolant just to get home. That night i research 2012 jaguar water pump issues and see that this is a very know major design flaw and use of cheap plastic affecting lots of owners. The water pump fails regularly and the plastic crossover pipe just bursts at the seems.i have a family friend purchase and replace this, another $502. After another couple days i smell coolant yet again and notice a small drip.this time it's the water pump bleeder hose. I purchase the new updated part which is now 2 parts instead of one and spend another $419 to replace it.now this all is happening at the absolute worst time ever.this issue started while my wife was 8+ months pregnant.the uncertainty of when the car would leakor god forbid overheat on the way to the hospital had me very nervous and upset. This was a major safety issue.now i know the car was out of warranty but after doing a lot of research on this, i feel that the water pump and crossover should have been recalled due to the known flaws and almost certain failure.at the very least i should have been notified as an owner that this happens to the car as i am sure you were aware of all the fixes being done at retailers and by the multiple product upgrades. I found out that other vehicles with different vin #s were in fact recalled.
Car stalled while driving in a straight line, vehicle was still in motion when engine stopped without any warning lights (sudden and total loss of power).steering control was limited when engine shutoff and brake pedal also required much more pressure than normal to bring car to stop.issue happened while taking off from school parking lot, so no accidents were caused, but it would have been a very likely cause for an accident on a busy freeway.car did not start back up and had to be towed back to repair shop.
The contact owns a 2012 jaguar xf. The contact stated that the vehicle produced thick smoke, lost fuel, had an abnormal fuel odor, failed to accelerate occasionally, the check engine warning indicator illuminated, and "restricted performance" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to jaguar of annapolis (101 ferguson rd, annapolis, md 21409, (855) 741-8067) where it was diagnosed that four fuel injectors needed to be installed and a new catalytic converter was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 66,000.
This is the 3rd time since i have own this vehicle the antifreeze pipes have been replaced. The last time the vehicle warning low battery light came on while driving down the interstate, then everything on the car started shutting down. The car overheated and blew all the fluid lines. According to jaguar of ocala the crossover pipe went bad, again this is the 3rd one replaced. After spending over $5699.00 dollars 6 months later i am noticing the fluid level dropping and we can smell antifreeze. We also had some oil leaks fixed 7 months by a mechanic who specialize in jaguars and the car is leaking again. Its never ending spending money and worried it will catch fire.
Coolant leak caused by bad plastic parts, especially the crossover pipe which was made as a welded together piece. Luckily, i had a warning that my coolant was low and continued to fill the coolant up till i could bring the car in for service and replacement of the water pump and plastic parts as recommended by other owners.

I was driving (in motion) when the car completely shut down in the middle of a busy street. I was able to thankfully roll into a turn lane. I was not able to restart or even turn the car into neutral. The vehicle lost power-assisted braking and power-assisted steering. It was horrifying. The car was towed to rosenthal jaguar land rover in tysons corner va, where they uncovered that the issue was a defective fuel pump connector and the description matches the exact description of this recall: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2013-jaguar-xf-recalled-for-fuel-pump-problem.html

In 2012 jaguar had a recall on some of their fx model cars due to faulty fuel tank flange issues that could cause the cars to catch fire. The nhtsa campaign # was 12v521000, the recall # was: j027 & the potential number of units affected was 4,195. In the document i've enclosed, you'll see that my vehicle had the exact same issue with the oil leak and cracked fuel tank flange that other cars were recalled for in 2012. I initially noticed a strong fuel smell in my garage after turning the car off and closing the garage door about 1 weeks ago. My next door neighbor also complained that she smelled the gas fumes in her house last week, but noticed that they went away after i removed my car from the garage and parked it outside. I checked jaguar's website and asked my jaguar service advisor if there was a recall on my vehicle because i'd previously read about the fuel tank flange recall, but both sources did not confirm a recall on my car. I called jaguar this morning while at the dealership waiting for my car to be serviced, and was told that they recall was vin specific & it was indeed for the same exact issue i had fixed today. I'm concerned that i was driving around in a car that jaguar has known to have a serious issue that could've resulted in my car catching fire, yet mine and other jaguars who may have had or may have the issue are still on the streets. Due to the severity of the matter, i wanted to bring it to your attention in hopes that you can intervene with this serious situation.
The contact owns a 2012 jaguar xf. The contact stated that the fuel tank indicator illuminated even though there was half a tank of fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who recommended the fuel pump be replaced. The dealer (jaguar columbia, 540 jamil rd, suite a, columbia, sc 29210, (803) 731-7493) was contacted and suggested the vehicle be brought in for diagnostic testing. The contact informed the dealer that the vehicle was already in the shop and a part was ordered. The vehicle repairs were being delayed until the fuel pump part arrived. The repairs would be performed by the independent mechanic. The dealer stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 74,124.
Fuel flange is cracked causing my vehicle to pour out gas while moving and while parked. There is also a heavy gas smell throughout the vehicle.
I have a 2012 jaguar xf with 48,000 miles which has a gas leak on top of the gas tank where the hose connects to the ascending unit. This is not only very dangerous for my family but also to my home as this issue can cause a fire. I would like this issue resolved by repair as i am aware that jaguar has issued several recalls and one of the recalls is for a problem with the 2012 jaguars xf leaking gas which could cause a fire.
Vehiclewas parked i noticed a gas smell coming from the vehicle. The fuel line or the fuel tank has a leak the mechanics don't know how this could have happened

The contact owns a 2012 jaguar xf. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic fuel pump failed. The electronic fuel pump was replaced; however, the failure recurred approximately one month later. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the high pressure fuel pump was faulty. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced again, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
The contact owns a 2012 jaguar xf. While driving approximately 3 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. A strong burning odor emitted from the tires and the vehicle jerked forward. The vehicle was shifted into park and the vehicle idled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
Upon starting the car after a brief stop with no prior indication of brake irregularities, the brake pedal went to the floor. The car was stationary at the time; the brake pedal must be depressed in order to start the car. There was an accompanying burning smell at this time, probably attributable to brake fluid being sprayed onto hot engine/exhaust components. There was no useful partial brake action at this time.the car was towed to jag dealer.no fluid in reservoir, left front brake hose had lost integrity. Dealer replaced brake hose, filled and bled system. Dealer provided failed hose to owner for examination. After pressurizing the hose with very low pressure air it was evident that there was a complete failure of the swage connection of the hose at the caliper end fitting. The hose has been displaced from the fitting, and air can be made to escape from the fitting/hose connection simply by blowing into the other end of the hose. Photos attached.

First test ride with salesman driving.i got into the passenger side and closed the door.when the salesman started the car the instrument panel alerted him that my door was not fully latched.he got out and came around and closed my door more firmly.i thought nothing of this at the time.a month later i was driving a friend about and she had repeated problems with not closing the door firmly enough.the door bounced back out so that the trailing edge was about 0.125 inches out from the rear door.took the car to the dealer.they said they will adjust the door in the service bay.after adjustment door bounced when service tech demonstrated that it was now 'fixed'.service then said, that due to the law, they would have to send to body shop for further adjustment.i declined.eleven months later door still bouncing and brought it back to dealer for servicing.dealer again adjusted door, then sent it to body shop and said it is now fixed. I disagreed, saying door still bounces.based on dealer 'fix' jag customer relations says door now meets manufacturers specs.is this a safety issue.

Left front brake line failure at midline. Leaked so bad the entire brake fuild reservoir emptied after 2 brake pushes. I am so lucky i just stopped for gas and wasn't driving on my trip down the highway.the car is only 5 years old and 79xxx miles. There must be design or manufacture issue with these brake lines.my car is checked by the dealer per jaguarschedule.
Dashboard is comingapart i heard due to jaguars faulty bonding agent they used. The dealer told me its from the sun which is not true
Dashboard is coming about causing visual impairment to road
I was driving down i-95 south on 11/12/12, near philadelphia (on the way to a 76ers game) with my 7 year old son in the backseat (with booster).i went to accelerate and the pedal apparently got stuck (i didn't know that was the issue at the time).harrowing experience to say the least.i saw the engine was revving very high and thus thought it had dropped to a lower gear, but the speed kept increasing (rapidly).tried using the brakes for 3-5 seconds, but it did not seem to do much (did not solve the problem).i realized what might be going on and slipped my toe under the accelerator then popped it up...no injuries, other than jangled nerves.interesting that the pedal was not caught on any part of the carpet or being obstructed by it - which was what i theorized while bringing the car to a stop.the accelerator pedal has an arm that goes directly back (into the engine compartment) - so it may be mechanical in some way.i will be bringing the car to my dealer very soon to get it checked out and fixed, but the problem has not happened again (i've also not used the accelerator as much).unfortunately, i've been working out of town and not able to get it into the dealer....car is going into the shop next week.
Dashboard is coming about causing visual impairment to road
