What 2014 Jaguar XF owners say
Fuel & propulsion system
I was driving at a high speed. 65 mph and went to accelerate to pass another vehicle and when I pushed the gas there was no power, the steering wheel locked up and I went off the side of the barley missing the ditch and then stopped. The i tried to restart it and the check engine light came of and after a couple attempts I had to have it towed to Jaguar of tacoma. My car is a 2024 with only 46000 miles on it. This shouldn't be happening. I have to other vehicle to drive. I commute for work so I need a reliable car, which I did my research and thought this was one.
Unexplained fire: vehicle was being driven to work. Upon pulling in to the parking lot, driver notices burning smell. Driver parks, bystander approaches driver to alert that the vehicle is on fire. Driver exits vehicle and notices a fire under the passenger side of the vehicle, approximately 1.5ft in diameter. Liquid is spilling onto the ground and catching on fire. Driver proceeds to work security desk to call fire department. Car is now enveloped in flames (~15ft). Fire spreads to vehicle in front of the Jaguar. Fire causes damage to a total of 4 vehicles and the asphalt. Fire department extinguishes the fire and vehicle is towed. The Jaguar was deemed a total loss. The Jaguar had been driven approximately 200 miles since Takata airbag replacement.

I took my car for the 35000 mile service and I am needing to replace the lower coolant outlet Y pipe, which has been recalled on Jaguars the same year and manufacturing plant as mine. The part nu,nets are the same ones on the recall. Also the brake axle.? Which I think there may have been a recall. I do t know if you have had any other complaints on this matter, but I feel Jaguar should acknowledge it may have more cars that are defective and fix them.
