2015 Jaguar XF Complaint Log

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.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2015 Jaguar XF. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for a battery replacement. The contact stated that the central locking system became inoperable. Additionally, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer and was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The part was not available for the locking system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

AT ONLY 70,000 MILES ON MY JAGUAR I AM TOLD THAT I NEED A WHILE DIFFERENTIAL THAT IS 3800.00 THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAIN WITH JAGUAR OWNERS . THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS UNSAFE'

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 JAGUAR XF ON 290 EAST BOUND IN WORCESTER MA WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BARELY IN BREAK DOWN LANE. IT BROKE DOWN DUE TO OIL LEAKING ON THE ALTERNATOR WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE TO BREAK DOWN. THE OIL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY GASKET. I COMPLAINED TO JAGUAR CORPORATE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THIS GASKET IS KNOWN TO GO IN THE JAGUARS AND LAND ROVERS. I CALLED AAA AND THEY HAD TO CALL AN OFFICER DO THE LOCATION OF MY VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A RECALL FOR THIS GASKET. THIS IS ROUGHLY A 2 TO 3 THOUSAND REPAIR DUE TO HALF THE ENGINE HAS TO COME APART. MY FATHER AND I COULD OF GOTTEN KILLED DO THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE ONLY PUT 13K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY HAD TO DO THE OIL CHANGE AND REAR BRAKE PADS. THEY TOLD ME THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DO KNOW WHO WORKED ON IT. I WORK IN SERVICE AT A BMW DEALERSHIP AND MY MANAGER TOLD ME HE WOULD OF GOOD WILLED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD ONLY CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS WORK ON THE VEHICLE. JAGUAR/LAND ROVER SHOULD HAVE THIS EITHER BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST A BULLETIN THE FACT THAT IT CAUSED A PERFECTLY GOOD ALTERNATOR TO GO AND CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO BREAK DOWN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND COULD OF GOTTEN US KILLED IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND SINCE JAGUAR REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT AT ALL. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK. THANK YOU.

TURBOCHARGER MALFUNCTION ON VEHICLE AT 35,000 MILES

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO PULL WHEN I SPED UP. A FEW MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE AND THE MY AIR VENTS. SO I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT, AND WALKED AROUND TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE OIL ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR. BY THIS TIME FIRE STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN MINUTES MY CAR WAS BLAZING AND A TOTAL LOSS. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR? THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. HOW DOES A 2015 JAGUAR WITH ONLY 36,000 CATCH AND FIRE AND BURN UP.

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.

I WAS NOTIFIED VIA LETTER DATED FEB 28, 2018 BY JAGUAR THAT MY JAGUAR XF WAS INCLUDED IN SAFETY RECALL J072 TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAGS. THE LETTER STATES: "DUE TO PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO COMBINED HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE INFLATOR HOUSING MAY EXPLODE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN SUCH EVENT, A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE INFLATOR HOUSING EXPLOSION COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." THEN THEY PROCEED TO SAY, "JAGUAR IS CARRYING OUT A RECALL OF CERTAIN JAGUAR XF VEHICLES WITHIN THE MODEL YEARS MENTIONED ABOVE. HOWEVER, WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE STOCK OF THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE. PARTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE BY MARCH 2019." SO, JAGUAR HAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO USE THE VEHICLE AS WE INTENDED WHEN WE PURCHASED IT, WHILE ENDANGERING OUR LIVES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. I CAN NOT SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF A LACK OF INTEREST IN THE VEHICLE AND A STEEPLY DECLINING VALUE. DOES THIS QUALIFY UNDER THE LEMON LAW OR WHAT REMEDIES DO I HAVE?

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER DATED FEBRUARY 28, 2018. IT STATES THAT PARTS FOR THE REMEDY WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 31, 2019. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE RECALL I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A "REASONABLE TIMEFRAME" FOR A FIX. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS OR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT IS CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY?
