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?.

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 vehicle started accelerating while stopped at a traffic light. The brakes had to be applied harder and harder to keep it from going into the intersection, the brakes were applied so hard that the back wheels were spinning. A warning was flashed on the dash but went off immediately all that was seen was an "a", at that point the auto stop/start button was disengaged and the acceleration stopped. The vehicle was on a city street in downtown orlando.

Takata recall I have a 2013 Jaguar Xf 3. 0 that began running a little rough around 30,000 miles in 2016. The check engine light came on and when I took it back to the retailer they said there was nothing wrong "possibly a loose gas cap. " a few week later, towards the end of 2016 and less than 40,000 miles on the vehicle the check engine light came on again, but this time the car started to smoke and overheat, so I pulled off to the side of the highway, into a parking lot as quickly as I could. The coolant had been leaking and was dangerously low. I added coolant as per the Jaguar handbook instruction and about an hour later tried to get back on the road. The car ran fine for a few miles, but once I started to accelerate into the 50-60 mph range onto the highway again a few miles down the road, the same thing happened. It started to overheat and smoke terribly. I pulled over to the shoulder as quickly as safely possible and notified Jaguar roadside assistance in order to have the car towed back to the dealerships service department to be worked on. The dealership ended up replacing the engine. I insisted that I was not comfortable with this car anymore and wanted an extended bumper to bumper warranty. I was assured that they had practically "replaced everything under the hood and it would run like a brand new car. " this was 8 months ago. The car has since been in the shop for 3 additional months on 10+ different occasions. The car is not safe to drive, it breaks down when starting or sometimes even when on the highway and is very dangerous. Ive had quite a few close calls. This car is dangerous and the dealership either cannot fix it or wants to keep putting band aides on it until my warranty is out then its not their problem anymore. I have lost my job due to the unreliability of this lemon vehicle and the service department in fort myers Jaguar.

My car was driving fine and for some reason the rear gear shaft or so I heard it is called failed and was not allowing me drive the car without a loud grinding sound and when the gears locked up the car would stop very quickly.
While in the act of parking my father n law's car at the mall. I began to pull the car forward after a complete stop with my foot covering and applying the brake as another car began to pass in front of me. His 2009 Jaguar Xfl surge and accerlated violently while the brakes were applied. Although this action didn't cause any accident or injury to anyone nor property damage. This occurrence was not the first while driving his car during my vacation in puerto rico. I'm writing to make others aware of the unsolicited acceleration problem this car has for fear of not just my safety and my family's safety but other consumers who might have purchased this car and are experiencing the same problem.
