This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JAGUAR XJ. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL, SEATS, AND EXTERIOR MIRRORS RETURNED TO THEIR DEFAULT POSITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR BETHESDA (11617 OLD GEORGETOWN RD #100, NORTH BETHESDA, MD 20852, (301) 263-6377), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL INVOLVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RANDOMLY GOING DARK AND/OR RESETTING DURING PERFORMANCE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP/JAGUAR CORPORATE TO SCHEDULE THIS ISSUE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS I DO WORRY ABOUT IT GOING DARK DURING COMMUTE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AS WELL AS LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THE OWNER TO CALL ME BACK AS NO ONE FROM SERVICE HAS REACHED BACK OUT TO SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. I HAVE HAD THE RECEPTIONISTS HAND WRITE NOTES TO THE SERVICE MANAGERS AS WELL AS THE OWNER BUT STILL NO CALL BACKS. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL JAGUAR CORPORATE WITH THE SAME TREATMENT AND RESPONSE ABOUT A RATHER SERIOUS ISSUE, I HAVE LEFT NUMEROUS VOICEMAILS FOR THEIR EXECUTIVE SUITE AS WELL AS 2 OTHER PEOPLE TO HEAR BACK BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING IN 3 WEEKS, IT SICKENS ME TO KNOW THAT EVERY TIME MY WIFE GETS IN THE CAR THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THINGS HAVE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AND I TRAVEL WE UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. JAGUAR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY NON RESPONSIVE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHILE ALSO BEING NEGLIGENT OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON FIXING IT. I AM REACHING OUT HERE MORE OUT OF DESPERATION AS I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE AVENUES WITH THE SAME RESULT. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED AS WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
