The contact owns a 2010 jaguar xf. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, gasoline was observed leaking from the vehicle. The contact was unsure if any warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was not repaired. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 20v081000 (fuel system, gasoline) as a possible solution however, the vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
I just recently purchased the car from a dealer here in salt lake city. But suddenly began to smell fuel mostly in the backseat area inside the car. I decided to investigate and found there is a leak underneath the rear passenger side of the car which appears to be fuel looks like it may be mixed with the little oil hard to say it's a pretty steady drip especially if i'm parked uphill. This is definitely a safety hazard being that it is fuel and could easily cause a fire putting me my family and others at risk. I noticed there was a recall on these vehicles it is a jaguar xf 2011 but it looks like it has been closed from what i can tell. I'm hoping that that's not the case and we can get this fixed with minimum or no charge thing it was a recall
Dynamic mode alert locked up several times and panel was unresponsive intermittently and rear passenger footwell filled with water. . Cause is described by jaguar dealer as rear window leak that passes through rear tail lamp and floods under the spare destroying the pcm module. Car surged once in driveway and i was blessed to hit the brake. Never again. I have waited more than six weeks for repair and jaguar refuses to take responsibility for the problem.
To the best of my ability id like to explain why my car does not operate. I have taken my car to two jaguar dealership and have talked to rocco' s european car repair shop as well and the all say that what is defective with my car is the central junction box. When i asked them all as to why this does not function they all said its a known problem with the car specifically due to "water ingress" leaking from the windshield wiper pump and on to the underside of the central junction box and my wires are corroded and cause electrical failure as the say water and electricity are not a safe combination. With this malfunction my car no longer starts. Yes of course my car is available for inspection and it has been confirmed by both hennessey jaguar of atlanta and jaguar south atlanta both have provided documentation as to the necessity to change the central junction box and both dealership's are not privately owned and not connected to one another yet they state the same reason as to why my car will not function. Yes my 2013 jaguar is a dangerous vehicle to drive as the car doors spontaneously opened and closed on their own the interior lights turned on and off and some other malfunctions engaged even when not engaged to do so i believe the breaking system also flashed traction control turns on even though i didn't ask it to be turned on. I am afraid that my car with water in the junction box could lead to an electrical fire as told to me by numerous mechanics yes my car was inspected by both dealerships in atlanta and both diagnosed the problem and being the "cjb. " the symptoms initially started with my doors mysteriously locking and unlocking and then other electrical problems occurred after that. These symptoms first appeared in 2021 and there were messages that flashed on the dash message especially one that said see owners handbook i may not be sure of the wording but that's essentially the message. This is my best assessment of the problems.
Car stalls and jumps out of gear at takeoff leaving us in the middle of the intersection having to turn the car off and restarting it as cars are trying to go around, also car accelerates too high rpm when taking off at low speed
The car employs a start/stop system to shut the engine when stopped. When it restarts the engine, the idle speed drops to about 400 RPM (half normal idle) and surges when it recovers. It has also stalled several times. I've asked the dealership to fix this, but when at the dealer, the system would not shut the engine so they have not verified the issue. The first safety issue happens if the driver is not expecting the surge resulting in sudden acceleration. The second issue happened when the car stalled at an intersection with other cars trying to get by. This has happened many times since I purchased the car in 2015. The stop/start function stopped working for a period of time when the primary battery was older and weak. Since replacing the batter, this is happening more frequently now. I did find this issue on KBB's website, but not on yours https://www.kbb.com/jaguar/XF/2013/recall/
Dashboard coming up.
I was driving my 2012 jaguar xf on highway 75 my car began to go from drive to neutral and changing gears on his own and i almost got hit by a semi-truck with the vehicle slowing down eventually i made it home with the vehicle and put it in park and never came out park again, the gear box had locked up that i was told by a local jaguar repair shop. I could have lost my life that day with that car doing this and someone else can lose their life if this happen to them if you all don't make jaguar fixed this problem, if it already hasn't happen to someone. I reported this problem to jaguar today and they sound like they weren't interested in what i was telling them. They said they would open and case and they will close it. Do that make sense to you to open a case and close it?
