2012 Jaguar XF Complaints

DASHBOARD IS COMING APART I HEARD DUE TO JAGUARS FAULTY BONDING AGENT THEY USED. THE DEALER TOLD ME ITS FROM THE SUN WHICH IS NOT TRUE

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PRODUCED THICK SMOKE, LOST FUEL, HAD AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR, FAILED TO ACCELERATE OCCASIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND "RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JAGUAR OF ANNAPOLIS (101 FERGUSON RD, ANNAPOLIS, MD 21409, (855) 741-8067) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FOUR FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED AND A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

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
