Jaguar F-type repairs and service

Jaguar is the luxury vehicle brand of Jaguar Land Rover, a British multinational car manufacturer with its headquarters in Whitley, Coventry, England.

The Jaguar F-type sits at the intersection of people who drive for the thrill of it and those who want everyone to know what they can afford. The F-type is available as a coupe or convertible, with a choice of a turbocharged inline-four or one of three supercharged V-6 engines. It's quick—fast, even—and can hold any driver’s attention through curving back roads, but it’s not as brisk or as dynamically proficient as some other cars in its class. For that, you’ll have to shell out for the wicked F-type R and SVR models, with 550 and 575 horsepower, respectively, from their supercharged V-8s. Horsepower aside, the F-type possesses one of the most distinctive and appealing exterior designs in recent memory, along with a cackling exhaust note that ensures heads will turn.

I purchased my 2007 brand-new Montclair JAGUAR. Six months later, it sounded like an old truck. I took it back to the dealer, and they kept it for five weeks (no parts, order parts, etc. etc.). I was about to call the news station when I finally got a call saying, "It will be ready in a day. Pick up the car," and I was told they were going out of business and were "No longer selling Jaguars, so look for another shop." Two months later, brakes (boot/bushings) need to be replaced.Luckily, they were still in business and had to replace all with warranty. Brakes have not worked right since. I took it back several times. Finally, a year later, they did stop Jaguar dealership and were selling other cars. I called USA Jaguar and was told to go to any Jaguar shop; the car is covered until warranty expires. Went to a new dealer, who worked on the car several times. Then the warranty was about to expire, so I got one of those extended warranty. I was driving the car and it lost power transmission so bad, it needed replacement. Now I went to Bergan Jaguar 30 minutes away, and they told me it was about $2,000.00 to fix. I told them, "Fix it; you sold me the extended warranty." The guy's face almost fell to the floor. It was covered by the extended warranty, which cost me about $2,000.00, so I am breaking even.Six months later, they were out of business, so I went to another dealership... mind you, Jaguar dealers are not in every county in NJ; they're miles and miles away in Madison, NJ. You see, I only purchased from Montclair because it was 10 minutes away, so now I am driving 1/2-hour to find a NEW dealership. Long story short, now I need an alternator (extended warranty). They said I should get a used one because the car is now five years old. I said, "Oh no, I'll call the news station, and I get a new one." NOW BRAKES ARE NO GOOD AGAIN. It is never ending with this car and the brakes. This, too, was my dream car, and it turned out to be a nightmare of a car. #Lemon

I have owned a 2011 Jaguar XF S/C with 25,000 miles for the past 4 1/2 years and have been very pleased with the purchase. I bought the car from a dealer about 60 miles from where I live. This has been the most satisfying car I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few high-end sedans. The car is beautiful, fast, quite and safe. I look forward to seeing it and driving it any change I get. It is a perfect size, fast and RELIABLE.The only service or reliability issue was an initial "check engine" light, I was told that I didn't tighten the fuel cap well enough TWICE by the assessing dealer. On the third episode, after being sick of taking it to the dealer, I call Jaguar and they towed it to Portland, Oregon dealer where the problem was found to be a vapor leak near the fuel tank and was fixed. It has stayed fixed. The yearly service has been the only other trips to the dealer, and have been uneventful. Note that all service was free for 5 years with 2011 vehicles. The battery died at 2 years, and I replaced it on my own, and the soft performance tires only lasted about 18,000 miles as expected. Would I buy it again? IN A HEARTBEAT!

Leased a new 2016 XF using the "pull-ahead" coupon miles to me covering up to 3 payments on my old lease. Chase continued to debit my account for BOTH the old and new leases and also told me I owed 1800$ for the failed lease payments. Spent HOURS (no joke) with Chase. Nobody knew of Jag's incentive and Dealer finally got me a direct #.Two MONTHS later, no reimbursement for duplicate (and illegal!) payments drawn from my account. Had I been this late my car would be on a flatbed and my credit ruined. Everyone at Chase agrees I SHOULD be reimbursed but nobody can tell me WHEN. AARRGGGHHH! I have invested at least 20 hours of time to get my money back from companies which purport to be the hallmarks of luxury. And when I call the Jaguar customer satisfaction hotline I always get the same 3 prompts leading to "Leave a message and we will call you back immediately," HA! It's been 3 calls and 2 days and NOBODY has called back. What a ** losing pair of companies. Third Jag but NEVER again. Spread the word. Their customer service SUCKS!!!

I bought a used 2003 XType Jag with about 99,000 miles. Previous owner had done some work on it and recent receipts showed about $1,200 in repair. I have owned this car for almost 2 years. First thing I did was to get spare keys. Jag dealers wanted $250 each. Went to a local Jag specialist who suggested that I purchase a certain type of key fob from eBay, which I did for $20, then went back to the repair shop which he programmed 2 extra keys I purchased to work with my original key. All this for $75. Works perfectly. Not too bad to buy a peace of mind.Local high school auto mechanic shop/class helped me change the struts which was $100 a piece for parts. No labor charge since instructor uses opportunity to show class how to repair. Rides great. One day the engine light came on and same shop/class diagnosed it was some oxygen mixture problem and also replaced O2 sensor for $75. No more check engine light. Which was great because I needed to smog the car the following month. Window washer wasn't working one day. Went line and found that nozzle breaks at tip where it is connected to the hose. So I purchased washer nozzle from eBay for $30 a pair. Had them installed, again at the school/class at no charge. Works great. Love these guys!Engine ran very hot one Friday evening and discovered the coolant reservoir was leaking. Checked online and found out that the spout part of the reservoir hooked to tubing sometime cracks and causes leak. Applied the good 'ol JB Weld around suspected cracked plastic around the spout. Left it alone for a day, filled it with coolant and no problem since then. Safely back to work on Monday.Once car did not start. Had to "jiggle" gear in "P" (park) and started okay. Don't know what that was all about. Happened again about 6 months later. Did the same jiggle and started again. Hoping it's nothing serious. Other than that everything works fine. I did buy two back tires to match up with the 2 front new tires that the previous owner bought. Had to change one light bulb at Auto Zone, which was about $8 but the clerk installed it for me. All in all...great car. I'm sorry to read stories about all the disappointed owners. But my Jag is a great used car, that so far is very inexpensive to maintain.

It’s really annoying when a quality car manufacturer will not fix a known problem, even though it’s not a safety issue. Between my wife and me, we have owned 7 Jaguars, including the 2007 XK8 I just bought. I didn’t notice until a few days after I purchased the MK8 that it had a vibration at lower speeds (30 to 40 MPH). I asked my Jaguar dealer and they produced a service notice (**) that says that the fix to this noise is a simple replacement of an exhaust bracket. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the estimated cost is $914.19 for parts and labor (parts $608.80). I called Jaguar customer service but the Jaguar Corporation has elected to provide me with no assistance on this whatsoever. I offer to pay for labor or some other arrangement but to no avail. Apparently, it’s okay for a Jaguar customer to experience this annoying vibration. And if it’s too bad, I need to pay the $1000.00 to fix it. My complaint is Jaguar knows this applies to XJs; XKs and S-Types but doesn’t feel they need to fix something they know is wrong. Maybe the BMW would have been a better buy!

My 2016 F type stopped at a red light and shut off. No power to turn on hazard flashers or put car into neutral to push off the side of the road. Called for roadside assistance at 1:30 pm. First truck arrived at 3:30. Since the car cannot be put into neutral the driver told me I needed a different type of tow truck with a wheel lift. Called roadside back. Was told to wait for another truck. Each hour that passed I called to get updates and was given false info and lies.By 7:30 PM I realized that nobody was coming to help me. I called a private tow company which I paid for. They arrived within 20 minutes and towed the car back to my house because the dealer was closed at this point. The tow driver that helped me told me that Jaguar pays so little to the AAA for pickups that they are a last priority. If you ever get stuck on a busy day they will not pick you up. If they did not lie to me I would have called for my own tow hours before. I was left in the middle of a busy highway from 1.30 PM till almost 8:00 PM by Jaguar. If you buy a car don't expect any service from these people. Warren Henry Jaguar could not care less about customer service. I will look into legal recourse for my horrible experience but my advice would be to buy a different vehicle. Terrible feeling being completely stranded. Roadside never called to see if I got picked up. I called to speak to a supervisor and held the line for 40 min. I finally hung up. This is the first time I am complaining about a car. I have owned Cadillac, Lexus, Mercedes, Bmw and Maserati and have had good or at least reasonable service from all of them. Do not find yourself in my position. I did not drink water or use the restroom for all those hours as the police told me I had to stay with the car. Anyway I was far from a rest stop or gas station to walk to. A true nightmare.

I did a quick tabulation of the 110 complaint letters about Jaguar cars. There were fifteen letters which did not mention a model, so I didn't count those. Of the remaining 95 letters, 28 were about the Jaguar X-Type, 30 were about the Jaguar S Type, 17 were about the Jaguar XJ, 16 were about the Jaguar XK and 4 were about the Jaguar XF. As Jaguar no longer sells the S and X Type, I think it was a wise decision on their part considering the number of complaints on these vehicles. I've owned a 2004 Jaguar XJ VDP for about a year and I've put about 8,000 miles on it. So far, I've had no major problems with it. Before buying the XJ, I did test drive the X and S Type and left with the impression that they were entry level vehicles and were not of the same quality as the XJ and XK.

I have been fairly satisfied with my 2011 Jaguar XJL. I bought the car in Dallas and had it serviced for the first half of its warranty life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Moved to Austin and then had to have it serviced by the only dealer here, Jaguar of Austin. Just the normal services because there have been few problems with the car once the infamous roof popping issue was fixed. I noticed at first that I never got a loaner at this dealership. Usually a Nissan from Enterprise. Then they somehow credited my 30k service to some fellow in St. Louis and used my 45k service instead. Took me hours on the phone with Jaguar's corporate to resolve it and they never figured it out until I did. Called in March about the extended warranty. The conditions were not really explained to me but I was told there was no hurry. I had an appointment for my last service a month before my warranty expired. My car currently has a bit over 35k on it. Not a high mileage vehicle.I get a call from my service advisor asking to postpone my service appointment. Until the day before my warranty expires. On the way into the appointment I get a call from the service advisor, which was odd, informing me they have no loaners. I stated the obvious which was that I had made this appointment long in advance but that I had never gotten a loaner at this dealership. Arrive from my appointment and had already decided to test drive a new F-PACE or Rover and trade my car in. I was called while on the test drive and told my service was no longer covered and that it was over $1000. I authorized the service and cancelled the test drive. On the way home I called Jaguar Corporate and they were good about making sure it was covered. This dealership did not lift a finger to help.That same day I talked once again to the finance person about my extended warranty. She had my file from March on her desk. She said she would now call and try and get me an exception to get the extended warranty (which after a call or two I find is priced $2000 more for less warranty than other dealers). I never hear from her. I have called a couple times and never get her or received a callback so I call the dealership where I purchased the car and had a very helpful young man named Jason. Jason gets back to me in 2 days and tells me my extended warranty request was turned down. I called Jaguar Corporate and am waiting for their response.The point of this little story is that the dealerships may be individually owned but they are representatives of the Jaguar corporation. A good product is only as good as the dealership. I would imagine that if I had purchased in Austin I might have gotten better service. Maybe not. I plan to lodge a formal complaint against this dealership for all irregularities and the fact that it appears they have cost me the protection of an extended warranty. My last Jaguar. At least as long as I am in the Austin area and have to deal with Jaguar of Austin.

I have been very vocal about my dissatisfaction with JLR Corporate. My car has been in service half the time I've had it in my possession. The car has experienced complete electrical and transmission failures four times while either my wife or I were driving it. Corporate again has denied my request to get out of this defective deathtrap of a car. If anyone else has a negative experience with JLR Corporate reach out to me. I'm reaching out to an attorney to get resolution. In the interim, I am going to refuse to pick up the car from the dealership, and will surrender it back to the bank. I'd hoped for a better outcome but to no avail. I hope those of you who have a great experience continue to do so. As for me I'm done with my F-Pace S. It an overpriced piece of garbage.

Almost a year ago, I purchased a new Jaguar F Type. LOVE THE CAR. BUT, customer service is by far the worst I have ever experienced. Let me start in the beginning. The Car was new. So new, the dealerships had limited number of models available and they simply took their allocations and "customized" what they wanted so I was presented a list of cars due in. My car was listed with all options which included "rear view back up camera". The car came in and the window sticker said the same. I took the car home and could not get the rear camera to come work. I just figured I was doing something wrong. The car is very advanced. So I took it to the dealership and after fiddling with it announced that it did not have a back up camera. The next day I had a revised and laminated window sticker in my mail box that removed the camera and I was assured that It was a mistake and I did not pay for the camera. I was upset as everything I had read said it did have it but I figured no problem, I would simply add the camera. I even entertained thoughts that because they had made the mistake that Jaguar USA might pay for the camera or compensate me in some way. Boy was I wrong. Not only was I quickly informed (from everyone from my sales person to a Rep from JAGUAR USA) that because it was simply a clerical error and I had not paid for it, not only would they not assist me but that the camera "COULD NOT BE ADDED TO MY CAR". It was explained to me how the car was so sophisticated that it could not be added. This has been reiterated to me each time I inquire about it and I must say it might be the single most frustrating thing about this whole ordeal. I am far from a master mechanic but I have installed back up cameras on other vehicles and I know you simply install camera, hook power to reverse activated lights and interface with radio head unit. Frustrated, I said, "Please order the camera and harness needed and I will install or find an aftermarket provider that will." That was 9 months ago. I have checked with parts on 4 occasions since then and yes, they ordered the camera but I just can't seem to get them to get me the harness required.Next, I scheduled a visit to the service department on Jan 6th because my center air vent which goes up and down quit going up and down. I also order a new compartment (not under warranty) changing the small compartment between the seats to something I could store a little something in. It in March 1st and I have yet to be called. When I did send an email, I was assured by the service manager (Karen **) that she would see what the issue was. She emailed me and informed me my "part" was on back order. I emailed back and asked her to confirm that there were multiple parts on order and asked that she confirm exactly what was on order. I have not heard anything back. In fact, my reply emails from her email is now getting bounced back....almost like my email is blocked???In ending, this is by far the WORST SERVICE EVER. And ironically it is the most expensive car I have ever bought. I have bought a Mercedes from Crowns sister dealership co-located with Jaguar and service was excellent. Simply stated, when paying $104K for a new car, I expect to be serviced better than when my 1978 Chevy Vega needed a starter but that 20-year-old kid got far better service than I am getting today. Jaguar should be ashamed for releasing a car they cannot support.
