2011 Jaguar XF Complaints

I HAD MY 2011 JAGUAR RUNNING WHILE I WAIT FOR A LOCKSMITH AND I COULD SMELL FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE MAINLY ON THE SIDE WHERE THE GAS TANK IS LOCATED. ONCE I SAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE I COULD SMELL GAS INSIDE. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ON THE GAS TANK SIDE AND I NOTICED A FUEL LEAK ON THE TANK UNDERNEATH. I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH WITH THE FLANGE. I READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN- IT STATES NO REPAIRS OR RECALLS. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED.

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION MAKINGA LEFT HAND TURN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC STARTED POURING FUEL FROM BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THEN BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. PETROL WAS RAINING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT CALLED A RELATIVE FOR ASSISTANCE. THE RELATIVE DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR GREENSBORO (1205 BRIDFORD PKWY, GREENSBORO, NC 27407) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FLANGE WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V332000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALPINE JAGUAR SALES DEPARTMENT (6606 N ANDREWS AVE, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33309) TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V521000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,600.

VEHICLE SUBJECT TO APPARENT FUEL STARVATION. ENGINE CUTS OUT AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED. SOMETIMES WHEN STATIONARY AND SOMETIMES WHEN MOVING. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME IT SPONTANEOUSLY RESTARTS, TYPICALLY NEXT DAY. AAA TOWED AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WITH OEM PART, BUT IT DOES NOT HELP. I CAN PROVIDE RECEIPT IF NEEDED. APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS TO THE 2010 AND 2013 JAGUAR XF RECALLS, BUT JAGUAR INDICATES THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. PERSISTENT PROBLEM...DANGEROUS AND NOT FAIR! THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR, MOST RECENTLY YESTERDAY. CAR HAS APX. 56K MILES ON IT.
