The dealer said that they fixed the recall, which is not true, because it came back so fast, it just unreal, the manufacture is one who should care about that, I was driving my kid to school wen the car started to shake badly, so I thought its kunda danger to my family !.
Car shutdown powers completely off in rush hour speed traffic and will not do anything cant get it in gear or anything do to faulty electric components and faulty fuel pump and its components this is completely a fatality waiting to happen for the car owners and the on coming traffic vehicles this is real bad this also made me and my wife anniversary day the worst ever we are scorn for life.
Car started smelling like gas and garage had smell. Today 4/15/2021 noticed fuel dripping under the fuel tank area.
Timing chain guides wear very easily make of weak or poor quality metal.
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.
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.
