Jaguar Is Giving Old EV Batteries A New Life
Posted On: March 15, 2022
Jaguar has been wowing us of late, revealing a new concept that is arguably one of its most beautiful modern creations to date. But it hasn't all been roses for the brand as the XE wasn't the smash hit it expected, the electric Jaguar XJ replacement failed before it was even launched, and it only has one EV at present despite promises to rapidly progress to full electrification soon. It's working towards rectifying the latter, however, with a new platform for electric vehicles called Panthera, and this promises to spawn some highly attractive machines. But the brand's existing offerings are pretty impressive too, especially the Jaguar I-Pace. That's because the stylish electric crossover has more to give than just transportation, as its batteries get a second life as part of mobile battery energy storage systems (ESS) from Pramac. Jaguar says that its engineering team worked with Pramac to develop the energy storage units and used the batteries from prototype and engineering test vehicles. The ESS is officially called the Off Grid Battery Energy Storage System and "features lithium-ion cells from one-and-a-half second-life Jaguar I-Pace batteries, [supplying] zero-emission power where access to the mains supply is limited or unavailable." Rather than just testing the system in perfect conditions, Jaguar TCS Racing used the unit in testing for the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, both in the UK and Spain, where it was used "to run the team's cutting-edge diagnostic equipment analyzing the race cars' track performance, and to supply auxiliary power to the Jaguar pit garage."rnSo it definitely is a working concept. So how does this benefit the average consumer? Well, Jaguar says that things it learned from the Jaguar TCS Racing team have previously informed a software over-the-air update for the I-Pace that increased range by up to 20 kilometers (around 12.4 miles), so the 2022 season could again benefit customers. As for the ESS system, Jaguar claims that the flagship system has a capacity of up to 125 kilowatt-hours, which is "more than enough to fully charge Jaguar's multi-award-winning all-electric I-Pace performance SUV, or to power a regular family home for a week." It is charged using solar panels and is linked to a bi-directional converter. Jaguar is now making these available for commercial hire, and when the battery is finally used to the full and reaches the end of its life, it is 95% recyclable. Hopefully, Jaguar will not be the only manufacturer to put old EV batteries to fresh use once its cars reach the end of their life cycles.

Problem 1: I purchased my 2011 Jag when it was about 1 1/2 years old with about 27,000 miles on it. It was supposed to be what Jaguar calls a certified vehicle which means brakes and all necessary parts were changed however at 11,000 miles the brakes were rubbing and making a lot of dust so I bought it in. They told me I needed new brakes. Had them changed with my oil change. Now 15,000 miles later again with my oil change they are saying I have to pay another 1200.00 for front and back brakes. This would mean that in less than 50,000 miles the brakes have been changed 3 times. I have been driving since I was 19. My last car lasted 10 years and I didnt have to change the brakes 3 times... Guess I should have stuck with the less expensive cars.Problem 2: During this same visit my front driver side light was supposed to be fixed and my battery replaced because the car just cut off while running and the lights would come on but it would not start. When I picked up my car while up the street at the gas station I noticed there was a stain on my bumper which could not be washed off and the front light wasnt working. When I bought the car back they kept it for almost 2 weeks and side the light wasnt working because the wires were fried. My question to the service manager was before I was charged for a light bulb and sent away the mechanic didnt notice that or even that the light still wasnt working? Needless to say they expect me to put out more money to fix something that was supposed to be fixed.These problems does not include the 2 other times the car was really broke and had to be put in the shop. Yesterday when I filed the complaint with the corporate office the man I spoke with told me it would be referred to a research team and that no one will follow up with me. That says to me it will just be tossed to the side and that they really Dont care about the customer or your experience once the car is sold. I truly hate Jag. It looks great but the actual product and service sucks so I am planning to get rid of it and I will never buy anything even slightly related to this brand or its parent company again.

I read all of the complaints and thought wow they are so much different than my experience. I have a 2003 S type and am just now 12 years later replacing the battery. I am having trouble with the air conditioning but they think its just worn out O-rings that let the coolant leak. I have had brakes replaced and new tires and tune ups but nothing major. I have been very happy with my car..

On Friday, March 22, my wifes new Jag was at Momentum Jaguar Service Dept.
On Friday, March 22, my wifes new Jag was at Momentum Jaguar Service Dept. in Houston. Two recall fixes were in order - fog lamp replacement (not performed) and a radio malfunction that caused it to be impossible to turn off the radio. The latter recall fix was performed with a software download and my fleet manager drove the car to my apartment parking garage and left it there on Friday afternoon, while I was away out of town with my family.We returned late Sunday afternoon. It would be necessary for my wife to depart early the next morning (today, Monday, 25 March) at 5:30 am to travel to the State Capitol building in Austin where she works. Since she would need to depart so very early in the morning, she attempted to pack her car late Sunday afternoon. It proved impossible to open the car with the fob due to a dead battery, presumably caused by a short circuit. Momentum Jaguar Dealership being closed on Sunday, from their website I called the number to Jaguar 24-hour roadside assistance. I spent the rest of my Sunday in the parking garage waiting on one and then another roadside assistance driver, neither of which could locate the battery. The first would not try and drove away, so on my second attempt through Jaguar roadside assistance, I appealed to the operator that the next driver should be knowledgeable in starting a Jaguar convertible. Nevertheless, the second driver likewise could not. By consulting the manual, he and I were able to locate remote jump start points and provide sufficient current to operate all accessories, but not to start the engine.So at 8:00 pm, my wife booked the earliest flight from Houston to Austin still available. By then, the earliest had sold out, so she bought a ticket on the second flight. In the morning, I drove her to the airport missing my own first appointment and fought the rush hour traffic jam back home. I still could not go to work yet since I had to meet the wrecker driver. Three hours of my workday were missed because of this junky, new Jaguar but worse, my wife, who is a state senator, may have missed votes on important state budget matters.This new Jaguar with 8,459 miles driven has already broken down. Mysteriously, the last place the car was started was in the service department of Momentum Jaguar! While I dont yet accuse the service department of causing this breakdown - the cause is yet to be determined - at the least we know that this brand new Jaguar has already broken down. My wife had wanted a white Jaguar convertible since childhood, so I finally bought one for her after warning her of Jaguars widespread, long-standing reputation for unreliability. Now, she has seen for herself.

After a car accident with our company car on the 20.6.13, the car was taken
After a car accident with our company car on the 20.6.13, the car was taken by tow truck to our smash repairer at Artarmon in Sydney NSW. The insurance assessor viewed the damage on the 25.6.13. The go ahead was issued by our Insurance company for the repairs. The parts required were ordered by the smash repairer to Jaguar Australia whose order through Trevetts in Sydney were found to be incorrect on arrival. Since then we have had many verbal conversations with customer relations from Jaguar Australia in Brisbane, but we were also told that this was not really their job. Jaguar customer relations in Brisbane do not seem to be able to assess where the fault of the mix up in supply of the parts lies. This problem has now been going on for over 8 weeks. We were advised verbally by the Jaguar customer service representative that the parts catalog in the UK did not line up with the parts number ordered for our vehicle. We have had to hire a car since 23.6.13 as well as having to pay the payments on the damaged company vehicle. This is no reflection on the smash repairer as they have ordered the correct parts as per the part number on the damaged items on our vehicle. The repairer has been chasing this up as much as we have, but to no avail. We have been advised, normally after many phones calls fortnightly to Jaguar customer service in Brisbane that the parts will be delivered and that they will be the right parts, all of this is verbal. We have asked for this to be put in writing but customer service said that was not possible. We are now at the 12th September 2013 and still nothing. We are waiting on a call from Jaguar customer service in Brisbane again after leaving a message this afternoon for an update. It is now 5.15 pm 12.9.13 and no return call from customer service received. This is our 4th Jaguar and if this is Jaguars service, it will more than likely be the last. Parts for cars sold in Australia should be here in Australia and we should not be at the mercy of this company that deals with that company that deals with the main manufacturer overseas, because it is evident they just dont care either here or there!The history of the parts is as follows from smash repair company: Parts were ordered 1.7.13; seven times were put on back order from England 2.7.13. Parts began to arrive 5.7.13. The near side front Squab was one of these items which arrive 14.8.13 but was for drivers seat. The near side front seat slide (base) arrived 21.8.13 was the wrong type. 12.9.13, still waiting? Jaguar is an excellent vehicle. Jaguars back up service leaves much to be desired.

2007 Jaguar XK A/C condensation drain blocked: When A/C is used, water pour
2007 Jaguar XK A/C condensation drain blocked: When A/C is used, water pours onto floorboard, on passenger side, from under the glovebox. I usually take my car to Firestone for service because Jaguar Service is prohibitively expensive. Just as John found out, the only way to get compensation for the problem was to have the car serviced at a Jag dealership. The $250.00 coupon cant even be used to cover a portion of this repair. Its for future repairs. I have to wonder if there is anyone else out there who has received more than a $250.00 coupon?

I bought a brand new Jaguar XJ in April 2011, drove 23,000 km, had it serviced in a Jaguar WS in June 2012 in London. Two weeks later, I crossed the Channel with the car to go to my son’s wedding in France, and suffered a breakdown 1 km from the ceremony. The whole event had been seriously spoilt by the need to get proper assistance organized. It could not be a worse day for such an incident, and find it totally unacceptable to suffer such a breakdown with a brand new car of that standing. Then, it is only 17 days later that the car had been brought back to UK, and 24 days later that it was repaired, and given back to me. How is it possible for such a chain of inefficiencies, is occurring with a brand like Jaguar? What is the company prepared to offer to compensate for such unacceptable chain of event? My car registration is **.

Very disappointed with JLR customer services. It is clear that the customer is not a priority and issues all issues with your car are your fault not Jaguars. I have an F Pace that is two years old and have an hole in the carpet caused by a design defect. Plus now the chrome is pealing on the centre control consol. Both not covered under warranty as Jaguar are perfect and do not make mistakes and have no quality issues... Customer Services make you unwanted and Inchcape in Derby West Meadows are a shambles. Customer care goes straight out of the window. For sure I would never buy another vehicle from JLR and never endorse them. Then they tell me there is no escalation above the customer services gods and retraining in values needs to be readdressed.

2017 F TYPE - Bad smell coming out of vents - Bought a beautiful Jag last summer, shortly after having it we noticed a urine like smell coming out of the air vents. We have taken it in 3 times the first two times they say they found it and fixed it. The car is immaculate, kept in a clean heated garage, had only been in the rain once and the dealership was trying to tell us it was animal urine on the engine. After taking it back in the 3rd time, they say its the air conditioner unit. They have had our car for 41 days now. Today they said they got the okay from Jag to replace the unit but it takes at least a day and a half to take the dash out. I have made two car payments on a car I am not even driving. I wish I had not bought this car. Jaguar customer service is not what I thought it would be when I bought a $100,000 car. So disappointed.

I am a loyal Jaguar driver, however I am now having my concerns and doubts. I had gone from the XK8 to the XJL, and never thought it would be an issue. I had the car in several times for various problems from car shaking in reverse when you turn the wheel, the moon roof not closing, the trunk not closing, the navigation replaced, now my TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED… I have under 40,000 miles on my car, mostly highway driving. I am a very careful driver, my car looks brand new other than all the issues listed above. I FEEL I HAVE A LEMON? I have not even listed all of the issues, because the people in the service department are very kind and doing the best they can. What are my rights? I think they should give me a new car. HELP.

I had an existing XF that I was very pleased with and didnt expect to change, save for some bargains around in the current stressed climate. Mine was a diesel and I knew I needed a petrol some time. I investigated used XF petrol and was looking when Jaguar Cardiff suggested I could have a pre-reg XF for £5k more. Needless to say I was interested! Its a portfolio 2.0 250hp Petrol. It has BAGS of power (my brothers 3.0 petrol is OTT powerful and exp to run) and I am totally DELIGHTED.The tech has taken a HUGE boost from 2012 to 2020 and now is just quick, easy and intuitive (it was fine previously). Comfort is also far better, especially rear comfort and space. My previous car was used so bums had touched the leather before mine! Ride is responsive but not Audi hard. Overall I am blown away by HOW MUCH BETTER the 2020 car is than the 2012 (which I already liked a lot!). Its so much worth going for the new motor. THANK YOU Jaguar for an amazing product!

BRAND NEW 2016 Jaguar XJL. After reading all the review, now I know Im not alone in the dark. Been back in the service shop for 4 times, in just 2 mo. First with the Bluetooth/audio cutting on & off, they upgraded the software system. Problem still remained. Second, the dashboard will just turn off itself to completely black. Almost got into an accident while driving through the highway at night. I dont have time to type all the problem, the more I type the more pissed I am. Is 2107 already, JAGUAR put your act together.

I purchased Jaguar S-type for Galpin Jaguar in Van Nice CA a year ago. The car had only 38.676 and now it has now 56,000. I purchased an extended power train warranty for 12,000 miles or 1 year. Two weeks after warranty was over, the throttle body failed, transmission cooling lines started leaking and I was told breaks need to be replaced. I had the car towed to the dealership. Galpin wants to charge me over $3,000 for repairs, and used car manager refused to take any responsibility for any of the above happened, claiming that its not unusual and things can happen. This was a $40,000 car with 56,000 miles and its falling apart! I contacted Jaguar customer service. They’re not taking responsibility for their brand product whatsoever! Meanwhile, Galpin offered me 15% discount on the repair and Jaguar supported. I refused to accept the offer and demanded that Jaguar will accept responsibility for the quality of their product. They promised me that local rep will call me today, but he never did. Please help.

Most regrettably, I think Jaguar is one of the most beautiful cars on the market. But, it is an utter piece of crap. I have spent more than $50,000 in repairs, including a new super charger and engine after 4.5 years. If you dont care about throwing money down the drain, purchase a Jaguar. Otherwise, RUN!! I wish I could write otherwise, but any car would be better. It is simply not worth the mere design. It is worthless.

My 2005 Jaguar S-type stalled mid-road. The dealer said that the fuel pump went out on January 2011 and it cost me more than $2,000. Since then, the car stalled and died while driving once in June, another in August and now in October. The dealer replaced the fourth fuel pump, returned the car and told me that everything is okay now. I am not confident that it is safe to drive, as the car dies mid-road and along the highway.

I love the British racing green color on the exterior and the beautiful cream color leather upholstery.

Purchased my car January of 2020. Brought it in several times throughout the next few months for other repairs. Brought it back in January 2021 for a no heat situation. I was made to feel like I was making it up and that I was a silly woman because they couldnt find the problem. Made me drive a vehicle that had no heat in -45 degree weather back home on the highway for over an hour. I then proceeded to bring the vehicle back with the car running the next day to show them that the car indeed had no heat.The car was with them for 3 and a 1/2 months and they still could not fix the problem but the heat started to work so I took the car back. Now its November of 2022 and I had to bring my vehicle back to a different dealership (Royal Oak) for no heat again as I did not want to deal with that dealership (Glendeer Circle) any longer. I was assured that I would not have the same experience that I had at the other dealership and that they would fix the problem. I have had things shipped broken, in wrong boxes etc. I have had promises made, solutions presented and all have been lies. My car has now been there for an additional 3 months and they still cannot fix the problem. Jaguar has now had my car for a total of 6 1/2 months in a 2 year span with no end in sight.I have tried to resolve this with their head office to no avail. They are absolutely horrendous and just want your money. They have basically told me they can keep my vehicle for as long as necessary until the part/problem is fixed. Which could mean months or years who knows. They have no problem keeping my car for an extended period of time. They have however given me a loaner car so at least I have something to drive but I am paying for a car that I do not have, I am losing sleep, having anxiety attacks and missing out on work because I cannot concentrate on anything other than this situation.The people in charge of dealing/rectifying situations cannot be right. I am wondering how this is ok? How can a dealership do this? I understand we have warranty for a reason but at what point is this not ok? I know we in Canada dont have a lemon law here but come on, 6.5 months is beyond my comprehension. I feel trapped, defeated, taken advantage of and exhausted. I need help in sorting this out as this cannot be ok. Please help.

1995 Jaguar XJ - Bought this car in 2005 with 80k miles. I was the 3rd owner. It has the 4.0 liter 6 straight 6 and its been bulletproof. Its been over 10 years and I have added 50k miles to it and its been fine. I dont drive in the snow with it or the winter. It has a smooth ride and great pick up for a 4000-lb vehicle with a 240HP 6 banger. Ive had to do the typical brakes and tires and battery. I do oil changes regular. A few odd out of the normal repairs I have had to do in 50k miles: 1) One of the headlight washer things on the front fell off. Somehow a small plastic clip that secures it to the bumper broke. Found the part on ebay for $50 2) Power antenna stopped working. Replaced with an aftermarket one and its been fine3) Electronic control unit failed. The car would not start and it was an $800 repair. But hey, its about 17 years old at this point and my wifes Toyota had the ECU fail in about 10 years and was $500 to replace. So.. not that much difference between the jag and the ToyotaOne thing I have noticed. I am on my original exhaust as far as I can tell. Maybe not driving it in the winter has saved my exhaust or these stainless ones are built to last. Also, its now 19 years old and has no creaks, rattles, or odd noises. This car is solid. It leaks no fluids and runs like a top with 130k miles on it.

2007 XK Convertible AC - Drain hose is plugged and it is a very costly repair. I do not understand after all the complaints to Jaguar, known issues like this are not placed in recall. When a company that charges nearly $80k for a car, do they really need to nickel and dime customers for an $8 part and a repair cost of $1,000? Sad day for customer service.

Jaguar XF tires: I currently have my 8th and last Jaguar. Never had a problem until I made the mistake of going to Jaguar of Birmingham. Ive had to replace the same tire 3 times. The gearbox failed as well causing my car to stop in the middle of traffic. It was towed to Birmingham Jag. Since that was covered under warranty, I suppose they needed to find something that Id have to pay for. It left Florida with no tire problems, but I was told there was a hole in one that couldnt be patched. Ended up buying a new tire. Within 9 mos Ive had to purchase 3 new tires. The last one exploded with such force it damaged the back panel of the car and blew a hole out of the steel wheelbase. I DID NOT run over anything.I contacted Jaguar corporation since the staff at Jag Birmingham are rude, uncaring and useless. Even the manager, Lily. I wasnt offered a loaner either time. After the explosion, the car was once again towed to Birmingham. I get a call telling me I have to pay over $1300 for the damage and another tire! Jaguar Corp wasnt any help, so dont waste your time. I advised them I was driving a death trap, but they dont care. A lot of unreturned calls and emails. Do yourselves a favor and stay as far away from Jaguar. Most specifically Jaguar of Birmingham. You take it there for something under warranty, but I guarantee they will find something youll have to pay for. Dont throw your money away and dont put yourself in a luxury death trap.

We recently had to have a ding repaired to our passenger door. The bodywork manager pointed out that the paint coverage on several areas of the car allowed the base coat/primer to show through. My husband was devastated. We took the vehicle to our local Jaguar dealer who checked the paint and told us it was an effect not a defect!!!! Not happy with this, we traveled some 700 miles round trip to Croydon where the car was bought. It was inspected there (dubbed a Friday afternoon car) and a full report sent into Jaguar. The customer service at Jaguar now want the car inspected by someone else. I can only assume there is an issue and they want to dispute it. This was supposed to be our dream car and last purchase for a long time. We are now waiting for customer services to get back in touch. Why a company such as this cant paint a car properly or pick it up before the car leaves the factory beggars belief.

Its been 9-months that my defective seats were ordered from the factory from the dealer to replace them. They keep saying they are on back order. I dont believe them because they are still selling cars with my interior. This is my 2nd Jaguar XJ. The first one was a 2011, it was delivered to me with a broken windshield, the chrome on the top of the door kept falling off, the engine had a cracked block and had to be replaced, the power sunroof was back every month for repair. I worked it out with Jaguar to replace the car, which I paid for. The car came from the north, it had body damage, the leather seats look like they were spray painted, the sunroof still has the same problem as the old one, the car is at the dealer more than at my house. Jaguar is Junk, 9-months for a defective part to be replaced is nuts.

I’m am writing to you regarding my 2003 Jaquar S type, which has now been at your location for over 1 year awaiting repairs, which are based on the recommendations of your service representatives and your service technicians. The VIN number of the vehicle is **. 4 door sedan, 2003 S Type. 97000 kms. I purchased this vehicle in late July 2018. The following has occurred since this purchase: I drove the vehicle to get fuel in late July and wash it, I fuelled up and the vehicle would not start. I had to pay for a tow truck to have it towed to your Jaguar dealer to be diagnosed. $125. The vehicle was said to require a fuel pump, reluctantly I said yes to the $1800.00 repair.I picked the vehicle up and the same day the vehicle did the same thing. Check engine light came back on after it was run and attempted to re start it. It would not start after running for 15 mins. In an hour the vehicle started and ran without issue, but as soon as you shut it off it would not start for about an hour or more. (So obviously the original problem was not diagnosed correctly and a perfectly good fuel pump was replaced by your technicians.)I took the vehicle to a different auto shop to be inspected and diagnosed again because I could not use it and it was unreliable, this was mid August because I required a provincial inspection. An inspection was performed and various items including, valve cover gaskets, belts, battery, etc. Total $1400.00. I pick the car up on the morning of August 25th. The check engine light was still on and the car still did not start after running for 20 mins without a minimum one hour cool down period, the shop could not get the car back in that day so it went back in on August 28th, 2019. The following items were diagnosed upon its return to the shop: Engine Fault codes: Remove and replace crankshaft sensor. Remove and replace crankshaft angle sensor. Remove and replace Fuel Pressure Sensor Regulator (This should have been checked and done before replacing the fuel pump, that actually was probably not broken and was replaced). Replace Oil pan Gasket. Remove and replace Crackshaft Rear Oil seal.All Completed and repaired $1308.00.On Sept 7th, the vehicle was completed and pick up by my wife as I was out of town. On Sept 20th upon my return I returned the vehicle to the shop as the situation with the vehicle running and not restarting was still persistent. Upon further examination and diagnosis it was discovered that there was a potential failure in the ECM which had caused damage to the fuel injectors, Fuel injectors Replaced.Upon reassembly the ECM was tested to see if it would reset and run the car accordingly. It did not. A used ECM was found, it was tested and functioned properly and installed, however it could not be re keyed to function the vehicle properly. This is now January of 2020. The Jaguar dealer was contacted and the vehicle towed to that location to be reprogrammed with factory information. Your service representatives contacted me stating that it could not be reprogrammed and a new ecm was recommended. $2545.00 --- Sub Total .. $7178.00 I agreed that as long as the new ecm would repair the problem to go ahead and replace it.Jan 2020 to Present. Jaguar Dealer .. Attempts were made to briefly reprogram the key with the used ECM, this failed. It was recommended that a new ECM would be needed and this would resolve the issue with the Car. Correcting the problem with the vehicle not starting after running. The ECM was ordered and installed, now the vehicle would not engage in reverse, so once again a technician who likes to pull and replace parts that aren’t broke.. rather than a mechanic who tries to repair problems decides to reprogram the computer with the assistance of tech support in England. However, now the vehicle would not even start when cold, once again tech support in England had to be contacted to reprogram the SO CALLED PERFECT BRAND NEW ECM, at this time the vehicle was not even functioning as well as when it was towed there from the other shop.Thru all of this the vehicle has maintained the original FACTORY BUILD problem. It will now run but it does not start after running for more than 15 mins. Your Jaguar dealership in conjunction with Tech support in England, feel that the computer chip that controls the dash instrument panels and function needs to be replaced. (another guess I’m sure) because no one can figure out this FACTORY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. The dashboard instrument panel is no longer made and cannot be replaced is my understanding from the dealer. Although there are many used ones available online. Nor has anyone thought to repair the recalled electronic emergency brake system, which could be part of the problem, but whatever. I have come to the conclusion that this car with 97000 kms was parked in some garage for years because the people that owned it could not afford to attempt to fix the INFAMOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS with JAGUAR. I am tired of waiting for a car that cannot be fixed and will not be fixed on my dollar any further. So I give your company the opportunity to do the following: 1. Repair the car and return it at your cost. 2. Or remove the parts I paid for and replace them with the one that have been removed. Since I asked for the parts that be removed be returned to me. They should still be there 3. Supply a used vehicle to me worth that same approximate amount that I have incurred at no cost. $15000.00.4. Allow me to come and get my car, at no cost and I will find a real mechanic to repair it.It is unreasonable that this car, with this mileage is anything but a factory lemon. Its issues are ongoing and it is ridiculous that such garbage should be sold as a luxury vehicle or under any other designation. I do not feel I should have to be out of pocket for a factory defective car. So your company can make the RIGHT choices here or I can proceed as needed.

Jaguar Paint....and other problems: Its possible you may get to go to Arbitration and I will recommend if the Arbitrator ask you what you want... say a new car. If he doesnt grant you a new car then you can only go down from there. Kinda like asking 8000 when you only want 5000, you cant go up from 4000 to 5000 but you can go down. So if they ask you say what you want and maybe a little more. Too many folks get to this stage and only want it fixed... Well no matter how well its FIXED it is never the same, at least to you. Its not like a new car and the value has been Knocked in the head!! I hope this helps you and anyone else that reads this... I do know Toyota is VERY good with their Arbitrators and usually Grant what the Arbitrator suggest... They dont have much choice and the arbitrators are usually pulling for the customer... esp if they really do have a complaint and the arbitrator understands/sees their complaint. Good luck...

Water suddenly gushed out on passenger side floor. I have been reading up and it appears this is a well known complaint with Jaguars 2007-2009. There is indeed a technical bulletin by Jaguar and yet knowing this in 2007 - 2 years prior - they still did not correct it and still charge $1,300 plus to fix it.

Hello, I have driven many different brand of cars and Jaguar is by far the worst. I purchased a 2014 in 2015 with only 30k miles. Still had warranty. However the day the 3 year warranty ran out the nightmares begin. I have spent more time at the Jaguar service center more than the enjoyment of the car. Very appealing and luxury to the eye but their engine components are terrible. Plan on repairing a lot of sensoring defaults, tire pressure issues, software issues, a/c issues, I can go on and on. Be prepared for a mediocre experience with their service staff and a lot of money for repairs. Mercedes will forever be the greatest. I’m going back where I belong.

No integrity in this company. I bought a brand new XF in 2010, water pump replaced 3 times but ok. It was under warranty. Then the leather dash started warping, they responded, Not our problem. Fast forward 5 years my entire dash display fails. Dealership admits that there is a known fault in the sunroof which causes massive rain leakage thru the roof under the seats which btw causes the failure of the display but, Sorry. Not our problem. Jaguar is the worst company, they do not stand by their product.

Replacing lost keys - What an absolute nightmare! What a way to rip off you
Replacing lost keys - What an absolute nightmare! What a way to rip off your customers! Not only was I robbed when my purse was stolen, with my only jaguar key inside, I was given only one key at the time of purchase. Unknowingly, at that time, I was not aware how expensive replacement keys were. I was the second owner. Then I was trying to get a key when I had no key. Jaguar dealerships were about as helpful and understanding for my situation as some zoo animals. I was told repeatedly the only way was to bring car in physically to nearest Jaguar dealership, which is 3 hours away. After all, aren’t Jaguar dealerships as common and up the road as a Ford dealership? I’m supposed to flat bed my car then pay 4$ per mile just to start. Unbelievable! Inconsiderate and unkind! Plain greedy! Surely they took into consideration all the hundreds of their customers whom like me, lose keys and now forced to pay high towing fees two-zillion miles out of the way, then stolen from twice over at the excessively high charges to replace my keys for a tiny amount of metal and plastic. Never again jaguar, you lost this customer. The managers employed at Jaguar are so completely inept and unknowledgeable about a product they talk about and sell day in and out. They were clueless when I inquired about this marked important card they instructed us to keep in safe place, titled security label from key transmitter. Surely marking something important and keep in safe place is an item valuable enough to really keep in a safe place for some future important reason. Surely staff were also educated about this security label key transmitter so when someone like me asked questions, Jaguars staff would have at least once seen this label we had been storing safely!Surely, there really is a purpose, function, for this security label key transmitter with what appeared valuable enough to store with all these numbers and bars to scan. I got hopeful that maybe, since it was titled “key transmitter”, all these numbers could be scanned because of bar codes and some thoughtful genius in Jaguar corporate head should be kind enough to make a spare so that some future single sickly older woman, on a fixed budget, wouldn’t have to tow her car half way to Mars and take out a bank loan for this fraction of a fraction of piece of worthless metal and plastic. I could have bought 2 state of the art computers, with all their gadgets and sophisticated hardware for what I am being expected to pay for this microscopic sized hunk of metal. Gold sells for less! Personally, thank you Jaguar for the added daily troubles and turmoil many sick and the fixed income customers you have. Thank you, Jaguar on a job not well done. It’s in the air! I know you feel it Jaguar. After all, you breathe the same air as the rest of us do and feel that consumers are sick and tired of being ripped off at every street corner we turn on the all possible ways corporate heads can squeeze out of themselves. Then feel so proud, pat yourselves on your backs for becoming a fortune 500 company and having millions in the banks.Corporate greed is not something to brag about. As if, you had worked so hard and diligently at producing a product that’s really worth the $500 to $1,000 that you charge. Millions like me are sick of being ripped off by corporate heads that searched hard to find a way so that all customers must go to you and you’re completely free to now overprice. There’s nowhere else they can go and you smile, feel happy and smart about yourself for finding away to get rid of competition. All that matters to you is the bottom line. Then you tell yourself something like it is a security reason for doing all of this. I feel like I had just walked into a Wal-Mart, pushing a grocery cart, handed the cashier $500 and leaving the store with an empty cart, only a safety pin in my hand. I did not get really anything this month for my money.We all know that those extra little added charges at the end of our bills, for such things as filing fees or maintenance fees are really for absolutely for nothing that corporations pride themselves for. Theft is theft, no matter how you take it. I am so tired of companies finding extra ways to profit for nothing by taking advantage of the disadvantaged. We are all sick of it! We know what you’re doing. We all see what is really going on. The fact remains you put yourself deliberately in the position of having a corner on the market no matter how you try to sell it. Well, Jaguar, you don’t just have corner, you took the entire freaking block off people just like me. As for the wealthy customers, the price of a jar of peanut butter is $3 for the rich and the poor. They don’t like being overcharged any less.

Shockingly bad customer service from Jaguar. They create a hidden policy that will charge the customer if he misses a mileage interval for service. No email notifications. No automated notifications on the car. No notifications on prior service. When I objected to the gotcha nature of this money grab, the local dealer said it was a Jaguar USA policy. A week later, I get a call from a phone bank operator reading off a script...I sold my car. Jaguar is not worthy of my business. This policy is designed to catch the customer napping. The response to my outrage was a game of hot potato. Nobody accepting responsibility for an egregious policy? Goodbye Jaguar. Other businesses understand customer service and customer retention. Clearly, Jaguar does not.

I bought my Jaguar XF in the summer of 2015. I never had any issues with it, best car Ive ever driven. The interior is simply stunning and very comfortable. As for the performance of the car I have only good things to say, its fast, very stable and easy to drive. I usually dont write reviews, but today I accidentally came across the reviews others left and I felt they very unfair to Jaguar. Its a great brand.

My Xj8 Heritage has less than 60K Km on it. It was bought new, and we have had one problem after another. At 12 months and 10 Km, the battery failed, which was under warranty. At 26 months and 25K Km, the hood lining fell out, which has no warranty. At 4 years and 35K Km, the water pump failed, which also has no warranty. I was told they were a common fault. At 8 years and 50K Km, the thermostat failed, which has no warranty. At 10 years and 65K Km, the fuel pump failed, which has no warranty. I would not buy another Jag. How is this possible for a car with such low kilometers to be serviced regularly?

I have a 2006 X-Type 3.0 AWD, and I read almost all the negative responses in this thread. I have 127,000 miles on mine and I have replaced a battery at 82k, brakes at 67k, an overflow tank at 106k , performed regular oil changes using 5/30 Castrol as recommended, and I only burn 93 octane (and a lot of headlights). You treat your Jag right and it will be nice back. Today, it still gets an impressive 24.6 mpg, and still turns heads. This is a very high quality vehicle and it takes pampering, not abuse. The only thing I dont like about Jaguar is changing to the XF style. The Type X and XJ are still two of the most beautiful cars on the road and most people dont seem to know how to take care of a Jag. I love mine.

I own 2007 XJ Jaguar Vanden Plas Sedan, I have spent over 19k at Tampa Jaguar in service with constant attention to engine light being on and the last 3 to 4 times, I have brought it in for the same problem, and to date, the engine remains on and my spouse is taking it back this week. Service manager was aware I was tired of spending on it, and we spoke of me selling it to Tampa Jaguar since they have solely repaired it.My spouse saw a Jeep Wrangler and began negotiations on it for trading the JAG, the Jeep was souped-up which would be odd enough for me, went to trade, arrived the Jeep no longer had the same lights, new pics on Carfax, and the manager of sales denied changes, then admitted to small lights. The problem I have is upon arriving, no one came outside to speak with me, my spouse spoke with manager told him I am outside, he totally remained inside and still refused to speak about how to get car sold, test drive Jeep, or even act as if I was a customer of Jaguar.I have been coming there from 2012 to now, no other company ever touching the car, and we know the service team by first name. Yet, sales ignored my existence, refusing me the courtesy to honor my business, to honor the terms of the presenting Good Faith to sell the Jeep as it was originally shown, not taken down from where it was, or he could have come out, asking what can we do to get your BUSINESS .I have made this complaint to someone whom called me for follow up to no avail. I have written this up and assigned case number, only for a case manager, Danny to ask me about calling to speak with General Manager, you would think 2 complaints later, General Manager for this from everyone else. Was it racially motivated? I am **, and I have seen no one present during there, or even in their showroom, and no it is not because of cost, my friends all drive top of the line and from Tampa area, I am not, but they all patronize other brands.I wonder if it is due to the very haughty, negligent personality that one portrays to allow a customer to sweat for over an hour, while you are aware of their presence but ignoring them because you have spoken to their spouse over the phone, and what... you figure the ** woman does not deserve respect? It is my car, my sale, my deal, my spouse is aware of cars, and was helping me out. BTW, spouse is **, so that might add a racial overture to it, would he got ignored standing outside, when you expected him to trade his car today? My car was originally purchased in Jacksonville Go while I was in Germany, so transfer to Tampa few months later. Came bringing this car to this company and they have taken 19k of my money, offered to purchase it for trade, engine light still on, and I am not paying another dime.I have been given every reason for the cause of this issue, I want the car traded or paid by this company as promised and I want Jaguar National to investigate the way these companies are really destroying their name, it stands for something, but if you have people who disrespect those who drive your brand, no matter their skin color, then you will be famous for Silver Bells, nothing more, whereas the image really should change to coincide with the sleek look of the Jag... it is a very sleek vehicle, and looks good with certain people. I am very disappointed that ownership of another has been destroyed by your local folk. Please do the right thing. Your Customer Service Case Management is horrible too, time for someone to get new people.

Took a S-type into the main dealer in Montreal Canada for a starting problem - no start. After 2 months, it has been there and I am still not getting anywhere. This is a very bad situation with Jaguar cars. Had many in the UK but never experienced problems like this. My advice to anyone is to never by a Jag unless you are in the UK. It seem around the world they have no adequate service centers.

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 guys 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; theyre 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, Ill 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 an 07 plate Jaguar 2.7 v6 diesel S type. I had to take the car to my local dealer for a repair. It came up on dash as SDC unavailable. Jaguar dealer told me that I needed a new diaphragm fitted to my fuel pump at the cost of 299 fitted. I picked car up on the Saturday and paid the bill in full. On the following Thursday, the car broke down again - same code on dash. I contact dealer, tell them whats wrong. Car goes back into garage. Then they tell me that they are having problems reading the fault codes and that they are waiting on Jaguar sorting it out. 2 weeks later, they phone to tell me that they have found the problem and car needs 2 new fuel injectors at a price of 245 each. And that they have sent a sample of the fuel in my tank to see if its contaminated with anything. They come back to me and say its water in my fuel. And my tank needs to be drained. They then tell me that I have a bill of 1180 and that they will not guarantee the work that they have done on the car unless I change all the injectors and the fuel pump at the same time. I check out the internet for prices of injectors, and for official Jaguar injectors. They are only 65. I now have a Jaguar car that I am scared to drive on the road in case it breaks down on me again. And the bill has to be paid in full before the car can leave the garage. I will never ever in my entire life get another new Jaguar car. I have owned this car for over 3 years and I have found the Jaguar dealers to be nothing more than con men. They dont keep their word and they always find ways of getting more money from you. And the warranty is a joke. it never covers what has gone wrong. So my advice to everyone, STAY AWAY FROM JAGUAR. Cars are expensive crap. Im going back to Range Rover. At least you can repair them easier and cheaper.

Dealer Service said, Dont worry about it, and try fuel injector cleaner when I get gas. I paid a premium for a luxury car! Im very frustrated.Updated on 06/06/2015:This is an update from my previous post. I took my 2014 XF Jaguar in for service at my local Jaguar dealer for the second time about the idle issue. I was told The computer said everything was fine with my car. I had clients ride with me and ask what was wrong with my car. After spending 40,000 on a luxury vehicle its quite embarrassing. I called Jaguar USA and was told nothing is wrong with the car. The dealer did tell me that all the 2014s have a bad Idle and they dont know whats causing it. When youre sitting at a stop it feels like theres air in the gas. Needless to say I sold my car and took a $7000 hit! I only had the car for two months and it was in the shop twice. Jaguar USA should make up the deficit that I lost.

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 Jaguars 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.

Four weeks ago I purchased a XF. So far I have not received any call from anyone at the dealership or from Jaguar USA to ask about my experience with the purchase transaction or any concerns with the vehicle. And I do have some questions and relevant feedback. Last week, my daughter purchased a Hyundai Tucson and she has already received calls both from the dealership and Hyundai USA asking for her feedback and if there was anything they could do to enhance her experience. Amazing!! Jaguar has to go a long ways before it can hold a candle to the Japanese and Korean counterparts.

I was driving my 2003 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 Sport AWD and it was me and my daughter and while we were driving down the road car just came to a complete stop and I wouldnt move and when I pushed the accelerator the car made this deep grinding noise. This is by far the worst car I have ever owned. I never recommend a Jag.

I recently bought a 2000 Jaguar XKR Coupe with just short of 100k miles on it, all black. I have never been so pleased with a vehicle as I am this one. Its beautiful, fast and fun to drive. I have taken it to the nearest Jag dealer (Bergstrom, Appleton, WI) for an oil change and powertrain inspection. It was a very positive experience. They offered pick up and drop off services, which I used. The car was washed and cleaned, very, very well. Just spotless inside and out. I spoke to the service techs directly regarding results of the inspection and was able to make informed decisions in maintaining my Coupe. I will be taking it back there soon to have two repairs made. Also, I am taking the car elsewhere (Powers Tires in Manitowoc) to have new wheels and tires put on, along with a brake and suspension inspection. Lastly, I have bought parts to change the navigation out for the original 3 gauge cluster that was available. The nav system cannot be updated beyond 2003, and a sports car like this should have gauges anyway. I plan to take the car to Extreme Audio in Manitowoc and ask them to do the nav-to-gauge switch out because there is much work to be done with a custom wiring harness. The car is not driven in the winter, and I intend to keep it, and keep up on its maintenance. In reviewing the cars maintenance history that was given to me upon purchase the average annual maintenance cost of this XKR has been $1500/year over 14 years. Thats including about $5k that I am putting into it. And I couldnt be more pleased with it.

Never buy a Jaguar! It is a piece of junk! I will only list the problems I have had. I have already spent enough time and money on this piece of metal. I l0ost all of its internal lights at night on a three hour trip (including odometer and gas gauge). The next morning, they magically work again. I lost air conditioning and other internal electric.When I took it to the shop, they could not fix it. The mechanic said, Get rid of it; it has too many gremlins running in it. The car only had 40,000 miles on it. Both front door handles have broken off; water would drain down the door panel, and kill the solenoid to open the door. I get in through the back door. I removed the interior panel on the driver door because I could not get out from inside the car.Now I physically have to operate the solenoid. The sunroof is screwed up. The trunk does not lock; anyone can walk and open it. The doors lock and unlock when it rains, or if they feel like it. The kids from our softball team call it the car that won’t let you out. The battery on the key died, and the only way to get in was to use a slim jim. I have carried the slim jim for almost a year now. I’ve had to use it about eight times--very embarrassing.The transmission is getting ready to go out. I fear taking my 3-year old son in it because it may break down at anytime. The brakes are horrible; I cannot tell you how many times I’ve replaced them. One speaker in the back works; none of the others work anymore. At this moment, it sits in my mother’s garage, two hours away because it won’t stay running. I cannot even get it home to work on it. It has less than 100,000 miles, but most problems started before 40,000 miles. I would literally give it away, if my conscience would not kill me.

I brought my brand new Jaguar Ipace EV in for service six weeks after taking delivery of the car because the battery would not charge. I had to leave the car at the dealership for a total of 31 days while parts were ordered from the UK. This would not have been a problem had the dealer provided me with a courtesy car for this extended period period of time. However, despite the fact that the service department itself treated me very well, I was forced to rent a car at my own expense for the full 31 days. Definitely not something I would have expected from a high-end luxury car company. The reason given to me was the COVID-19 pandemic - an unsatisfactory explanation given that car rental companies remain in business during the pandemic.

I purchased a new 2011 Jaguar XF. When I drove the car, the brakes were squeaking. I expressed my concerns to the salesperson and his reply was this is normal. The reason they squeak is because it is a new car and the brake dust has not burned off yet. At 15,000 miles, I took my car in for an oil change and again complained about my brakes. And once again, I was told the same lie. It was blamed on the car being new and on the brake dust that needs to burn off.At 30,000, one year later, I took my car in for another oil change, and once again complained about the brakes. However, this time, I received a phone call from the manager of the service department and he explained to me that I need a new brake job because my rotors are worn out. This would cost me $1,500.00 out of my pocket because it is not covered under warranty. I had no choice but to pay the money to get my brakes fixed.Well, my car now has 43,000 miles on it and I need another new brake job. Again, this is another $1,500! Please do not support Jaguar for they are all lemons! Needless to say, I was very upset with what happened.

First off, the car is beautiful. Second when it drives, it delivers a pleasant experience. Lastly, it cant be fixed. I have less than 11,000 miles yet, the oxygen sensor goes out quarterly, the dealerships are understaffed, and I keep going back with the same problem. Friends with the gas model dont have this problem, but they get 14 mpg in the city.

We bought a 2014 XF Jaguar, it has about 10,000 miles. Well my wife was driving the car and all of a sudden the steering wheel froze and the car shut down. The red flashing light was blinking on Drive. My wife was in the middle of the highway and the cars behind her were beeping at her. She then applied brake and shifted knob to park and tried to restart it and it did. My wife said it was embarrassing in a new 2014 jag. We took to dealership. They couldnt duplicate it, all they did was reset the computer. 4 days later it did the same thing, the car power turn off as she was driving. She is scared for her safety and my kids and others behind her. I called dealership and theyre going to pick up car and lend me a loaner. I was looking at this website and I noticed someone had the same problem which, her name is Colleen of Santa ana, CA. Ive bought a new 2003 Navi, 2007 Benz, 2010 Camaro and never had this type of problem. This malfunction on this 2014 XF is a safety issue and not even a used car in a car lot would do this.

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 wasnt 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. Dont know what that was all about. Happened again about 6 months later. Did the same jiggle and started again. Hoping its 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. Im 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.

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 cant 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.

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 didnt 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. Ive owned a 2004 Jaguar XJ VDP for about a year and Ive put about 8,000 miles on it. So far, Ive 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.

Ive had two Jags, XJ6 and and XJ8. I have freinds that have them. I dont know anyone who has had an array of unusual issues with their Jags like Im reading here. Since 1993 there record is quite good actually. Its unfortunate that the issues with Jaguar from the 50s through the 80s still follows it around. I have found both of mine to be nothing short of fantastic. It is a machine though and things do go wrong with machines. One bad apple does not spoil the whole basket. A car is a car. Nuff said.

I own a 2006 Jaguar X-Type currently with 90,000 miles on it. I bought the car new at Rusnak Jaguar in Pasadena, CA. I used to take the car for service there but, every time I went, they always found something needed repair, not including the times that I had to take it for problems. Well, brakes on this car are a joke. I have replaced them 4 times and, each time, the rotors needed to be replaced which adds to the bill and, of course not covered by the warranty. The new battery cracked and, has had at least 3 additional batteries after that, battery cables needed to be replaced, engine mounts needed to be replaced, oil and water leaks galore, 2 new coolant reservoir, new radiator, assorted sensors, new transfer case, windshield wiper motor replaced, rear shocks had to be replaced. Currently the car is at PepBoys because the battery light came up, the alternator was replaced not once, but three times already and the battery light continues to be on. I already paid them $600.00 to replace it. The PepBoys called their troubleshooter to diagnose the problem since they were thinking that the car computer is the one causing the problem which is a $3000.00 repair. Their master mechanic informed them that my Jaguar needed a Jaguar built alternator. Otherwise, the computer would not recognize it. BTW, I also have to replace the hood struts which cost $90.00 each but was able to find the replacements at 1/2 price. I am just afraid of whats next. I bought this car because I wanted a Jaguar but I was not bargaining for the amount of problems this piece of garbage this car has been. I own a 2006 Ford Expedition, which I bought new, and the only thing that broke after 69,000 was the water pump which was quickly replaced for $450.00 which included the thermostat and a radiator flush.

I took my 2007 with 35,350 miles Jaguar over to Elmhurst, Illinois Jaguar dealer. And they ran the diagnostic test which cost $142.00 to tell me I need a new fuel pump and jet pump and the cost is $1,236.00. There is no reason I should have to pay out this amount when the car has 35k miles. I also had 2 2005 X-Type Jaguars and they both had leaks from the oil pain filter, which should not happen at 50k. Jaguar is much over rated - charge too much for the cars and have no sympathy when the car needs work. They stick it to you. I had much better cheaper cars and will never own another Jaguar. So if you are in the market, be wise and pick something other than a Jaguar.

I have been without my 2011 Jaguar for almost 3 weeks because it overheated and has severe engine damage. Jaguar of Honolulu is saying that it will cost me over 48K for repairs. I have had multiple issues with my car since purchasing it in Jan 2014. Ive had bluetooth connection issues, fuel gauge reading empty after a fill up of gas, engine idle problems, mostly after backing into my garage but also sometime while parked with the engine running, trunk not closing, unable to lock my car, and last but not least the engine overheated and they want me to pay 48K. I brought my car in while it was still under warranty because of the engine idle problem. It was embarrassing to have people ask me why was my car rocking back and forth like a boat. Every time I brought it in, the service department claimed that they could not reproduce the problem but it happened to me on a daily basis. They could not find anything wrong while my car was under warranty but now that it is not, they want to find everything wrong. I feel like they know that there is a engine issue and a overheating issue with their cars. They need to just come clean because this will and should destroy their reputation if they continue to deny that there is a problem.

I am not certain as to who is in charge of policy when it comes to Customer Service at Jaguar USA, The automobile is one of the most beautiful car to ever make contact with the road, but the folk at corporate ought to know that beauty alone is not enough to retain customers. I purchased my 2013 XJL 5.0 with all the bells and whistles. The catalytic converter warranty exceeds the regular 3 year/36000 miles warranty.The car warranty is 7 years/70,000 miles,,, How many people know that? So when the check engine light came on, and the diagnosis was a damaged catalytic, the car was 6 years old with 63000 miles, in the middles of the Covid pandemic, where no one was going anywhere, I figured I’ll wait until the car is due for the 65000 miles service, that didn’t happen until February of 2021, by then the warranty on the 7 years had expired 5 months earlier, yet the mileage was well within the warranty period,,,, A no brainer right?Jaguar USA shamelessly denied coverage and refused to honor the warranty, which prompted to search the reviews,,, I have never seen so many ONE STAR in my life, which made my decision to never ever sit behind the wheels of a Jaguar again. I say that with a heavy heart because of a life long love affair with Jaguars, and despite the fact that my Jaguar Service Advisor since 1988, Bob ** at Jaguar of Willow Grove, is one of the most knowledgeable, and courteous in the business.

If youre thinking of a Jaguar, forget it. My wife wanted one for years so in 2015 got her one for her birthday. What a horrible experience and like others have written there isnt enough space in this text block to write all out. Did the online sales. Scheduled a test drive - dealership couldnt even find the car at the appointment. Wife had to return the following day. Salesmen jacked the price by ~4K higher than what was agreed to by email. Plus sold my wife an extended warranty. Car was good for about a year - we learned its very expensive to maintain. Dealership charged us $170 for an oil change. Most Oil change shops will not work on Jaguars. Car broke down. Timing chain cover gasket failure. Oil squirted on the alternator and battery causing both to fail. Car towed Dealership never called us, We called them numerous times.I called the service desk, service manager and general manager several times each progressively. No one returned my call. Wife had to go to the dealership as I was starting to worry perhaps the car had been stolen. Parts took a week to arrive. Total time in the shop was about two weeks. No loaner. Dealership said no loaner was available - another common complaint. Mechanics workmanship was a joke. Reinstalled the hood incorrectly causing vibration and bouncing which chipped the paint. Numerous fasteners not reinstalled in the engine compartment. Over the next 8 months we had these issues; Signal light indicating the trunk (boot) was open. Headlight low beam pointed at the ground directly in front of the vehicle - very dangerous condition. Dealership said the soonest appointment was 30 days out. If we wanted a loaner it was 45 days out. The AC started turning itself off and on. Entire car would turn itself off while stopped. Had to use the started to restart the car. On restart it was more like a reboot - systems all had to be reset including radio station and climate control. Fuel filler tube had a recall the dealership never correct. Eco mode stopped working. Another oil leak at the timing chain cover - another two week repair job. Tire monitoring system erroneously signaling a flat tire. Cigar light was fake, order one from the dealership waited a month. New one arrived. Opened box - it was another demo fake one. One door handle was a slightly different color than the rest of car. Logged a complaint with Jaguar HQ customer service - theyre a joke. I called the number they provided at least a dozen times over the course of two weeks leaving my case number, name and return phone number. NEVER spoke to anyone. Filed a complaint with Jaguar parent company TaTa Motor. Never received a word from them either. Took the car to another authorized service center - discovered we did Not have an extended warranty. Called the dealership numerous times. No one called back. My wife went to the dealership and they left her waiting for two hrs and she finally got mad and left. This issue is still not resolve, Have zero help from any customer service so guess Ill have to find a consumer/contracts attorney to sue them for the 5K we paid for an extended warranty. Summarize Worst car buying experience I ever had - bar none. Worst quality car I have ever purchased - bar none. A wrecked Yugo would have been better. Do Not buy a Jaguar. They have absolutely lost any resemblance of the Jaguar of days gone past. Theyre doomed for bankruptcy.

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 dont 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 own a 2011 XF which I bought used and have had it for a year. My problems
I own a 2011 XF which I bought used and have had it for a year. My problems started shortly after purchase. My window on passenger side would go down but not up or would work when it wanted to. I also noticed the brakes were not smooth at all. I took it to the dealer and they said the brakes were fine. It just needs to be broken in. But while I was there, they said it was a recall on the door controls and that was the problem with the window. A few months later while at a restaurant, my battery died (so embarrassing from a high-end car). Later that week, it died again so I had it towed to dealership where they said I needed a new battery. Wow, really, so soon. The cause for the battery dying was the bracket below was loose and out of place causing the battery to corrode. Not my fault.My main reason for complaint is last week I had to have my water pump replaced. There were no obvious leaks. The car was idling high at start and just didnt drive right. That was my concern for taking it in. Once I got there and explained to tech, I asked if he could come here, how the car starts after, which he immediately told me it was the water pump. (Mind you, this is a 2011 low miles.) Luckily for me, everything stated here was under warranty except for battery. After reading these other complaints, I am really concerned about my brakes. Apparently, this is a common problem with Jaguars. For an expensive car, my stops should be smoother.

I brought a 2004 S-Type Jaguar in Oct. 2012. After 1500 miles I had problem
I brought a 2004 S-Type Jaguar in Oct. 2012. After 1500 miles I had problems with the transmission, but Thank God with the top of the line extended ford warranty I got I only had to pay 100. About 500 more miles I had a second transmission problem, but after 10000 miles later I have had no problems and I LOVE MY JAGUAR. One thing I knew for sure when I brought this car is that I was to get an Extended Warranty not just because of the type of car it is but because its used also. Now at 88000 miles I need brakes and rotors. Thats only because when I took my car in for maintenance no one told me I was close to needing brakes. So I messed up my rotors and that cost plenty of dollars. I must say this if at all possible, please get an extended warranty because if I didnt have, it would have cost 7000.00 for transmission repair. Nonetheless I Love my Jaguar and I Pray one day I can get me a Custom Purple One.

2015 Jaguar XFR - Leased this car in October 2015. Shortly after having it, we noticed that it was not handling well at higher speeds. The front end felt loose. Reported to the dealer, but found nothing. Now, over the course of 2 years and 22,500 miles on the car- a popping, cracking sound has been coming from the front end drivers side. The car has been into service 7 times for the same issue. Jaguar has replaced every part possible on the car. We have asked for Jaguar to buy the car back since it falls into the Lemon Law category of Texas. Jaguar refuses and admittedly states the car is safe to drive. The last visit to the service department lasted 5 weeks! I have been working closely with the dealer and Jaguar North America. I had asked for the contact information for the Consumer Affairs department but was told that I do not have access to that department as it is only for internal employees. Hmm?? How can a consumer affairs department not work directly with the consumer?? We are longtime Jaguar owners, but after this experience, we will be considering other car manufacturers for future purchases.

I have a 2018 f-pace diesel purchased in 2019. Not a day goes by that I dont break out into a smile while driving it. Yes, fit and finish could be not high end, after all it is a Jaguar, but all cars nowadays are built with compromises. My wife had a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and if you want to see horrifying build quality buy one. How a big v6 can be so gutless is unexplainable. Back to the F-Pace, 2 liter diesel weighing only 300lbs... Takes you to 80mph very quickly and had returned up to 40mpg. This is the best looking SUV on the market, and the lay flat rear seats make cargo space INCREDIBLE, it fit a 65 tv no problem. So far Im loving it... Knock on wood... NO ISSUES! I would recommend this car to anyone, service so far has been great.

My Jag XF has been garaged kept for the 5 years Ive had the car. So you can imagine how shocked I was when the headliner in the car completely came down.As asked Jaguar and Alpine Jaguar my local dealer to provide assistance for this situation and they declined to stand by their product. At this point I have concluded Jaguar is not a brand worthy of luxury status. I will look to another brand to provide me a luxury vehicle choice.

I purchased my used 2011 Jaguar with 38,000 miles on it. Beautiful and sleek, she turns heads everywhere she goes. In our 8 short months together Ive replaced the entire center display, all of the speakers, roof curtain motors, parking sensors, and last week, it overheated and died on the Pennsylvania turnpike... at 43,000 miles. Imagine the mortification of standing in full military attire next to a smoking vehicle. The factory warranty died in October... but went to 50,000 miles. This is inexcusable. Please if you are reading this DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND.I contacted Jaguar USA... They offered 60% of the 44,000$ estimate. So I either have to pay over 13k for the engine to fix a car Im 35k in debt to own; or use my extended warranty company (5k)... which is going to total my car altogether! God only knows the loss Im going to eat when the final value is computed. The dealership itself (Mainline Jag, outside of Philadelphia) has been awesome-but they dont work for free! The entire staff is accommodating and obviously sorry for my loss - but why am I paying for this defect Jaguar USA!? I just want my baby to run like normal cars do!!!

My 2009 XJ Portfolio with less than 20,000 miles that stays parked in my garage, has never been thru a car wash, had the back windshield come unglued. A car that well cared for should never have that occur. At a cost of $1000, I had to pay to have it done. Certainly makes me rethink purchasing another one.

My problem began after having my 2004 Jaguar for one year. The mechanics at my dealer are very crooked. They put my brakes on wrong which caused me a lot of money to repair. They told me that I had a tiny hole in my Air Conditioner that would cost $1,100 to repair. I found out later that they have told others that they have this same problem which led me to believe that they created the problem. My transmission went bad and I was told that it would be better to sell my car because it would take close to $12,000 to repair it and other problems that they say was wrong with the car. The transmission was replaced for $2,500 and has done fine. I took my key to them for programming and they told me that I needed a new one that would cost around $250.00. The car is beautiful in appearance but it is the worst one that I have ever owned. BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP!!!

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!

I purchased headlight socket for my x type from West Hurr of Getzville, NY. When got home, I called and arranged appointment for their service to install it. Michelle service consultant was very short and sarcastic. Not to mention, the mechanic could not get the light to come on or at least tell me what was wrong. So they took my $112 dollars for an hour for nothing. To install the headlight socket probably 25 minutes, I saw the 18 year old Jaguar mechanic helping the other guy with another car most of the time when they called me back to ask a question. No one offered a discount or anything. A diagnostic should have at least been made for my money. Michelle was very short and sarcastic the cashier didn’t even say have a good day. To sum it up, horrible place to get your car repaired. Not to mention, I took time off work for this low class service center. I believe since they’re the only jaguar dealer in Buffalo, they don’t care. I’m sure their repair sales are very low!

I leased my F-Pace last March from The Collection in the Gables, Miami. A few months later I started to experience electrical issues. First, the push button start didn’t always work, then key stop communicating with the car, the back up camera doesn’t always work, the back hatch doesn’t always open properly, my door has an annoying squeak (but that was something done at the dealer) the overhead lighting console started to fall out and wouldn’t work my nighttime interior lighting, very unsafe for a women to get into a dark car with 2 kids alone.My car was at The Collection service department for a total of 33 days, still not fixed because they claim they can’t duplicate the issues but have spent time and money trying to fix them. JLR/Jaguar Corporate issued need a check from my dealer for the 33 days I didn’t have my car as a compensation. I absolutely love the way my Jag drives and looks, minus the electrical issues that don’t make me feel very safe. I’m a stepmom of 2 kids that I drive to/from school, sporting events, and basically anywhere they need to go and unfortunately I can’t depend/rely on my F-Pace. JLR has refused to do anything more along with the retailer. 61k for a car that doesn’t do what it promises. I was 2x Cadillac customer who took a chance on Jaguar and I am disappointed.

BOUGHT NEW 2016 XJL $89,000 window sticker, it has been in their Merritt Island, FL Jaguar shop over 6 times for problems, radio issues, dash issues, and too many more to list! Jaguar of North America really doesnt give a damn about their customers, and their dealer doesnt carry many parts, so be prepared to leave your car for a few days just to get it back not fixed. Have complained 2 times about 1 tire that keeps losing air every 3 to 5 days, have fun filling up your 1 tire that often! The dealership didnt have a tire sensor in stock and I guess they want me to return 3 times for the same problem? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Dont waste your hard earned $$ on a JAGUAR!Manufacturer doesnt care much, and this dealer stinks, I gave them a 2 day notice with the problem with a appointment and you would think they would have gotten a tire pressure sensor in stock for the fix! But NOOO, THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT BACK for the 3rd time??? Sorry Im repeating myself, getting ticked off just thinking about it AGAIN... Ill spend the maintenance $$$ with another dealership! And soon trade my Jag for a American made car!

Please tell me Im not the only one experiencing bad issues with Jaguar. I bought a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace diesel and have had nothing but problems. Its been in the shop so many times and all for different issues. Its had electrical issues, trim and body issues, fuel issues and so on. Ive had it for almost 2 years and only have 9K miles because it continuously breaks down. The real issue is when it goes in to restrictive performance mode and will only go 25 miles per hour. It happened twice on the highway. Its very dangerous to drive. Its now been in the shop for 2 weeks and they still cant seem to get it to run correctly. I initiated a buyback and they just notified me that it doesnt fit within their buyback parameters because its always had different issues. Theres logic for you. I think its time to contact an attorney and start legal action.

I bought my 2016 Jaguar XJ in March of 2016. To date, it has been in the shop longer than it has been on the road (over four months). The wire harness was damaged by rodents, not surprising when I learned the wiring insulation is made of soy. A few minutes on the internet reveals that many other owners are having the same problem. The new wire harness has been on backorder for almost four months. How is that possible? A current model year vehicle has a part as common as a wire harness that is not available for over four months?Jaguar Motors refuses to replace the vehicle under lemon law, as they claim the damage was caused by outside factors (the rodents, but no concession for the part being made of soy maybe next theyll make wiring insulation from bacon). They have also refused to make any concession of any kind. To date, they even refuse to apologize for the part not being available (anything remotely close to an apology is only patronizing... Im sorry YOU are frustrated, Im sorry YOU are not happy, as if my frustration is self-generated and they have no responsibility).At the two-month mark, they sent what they claimed was the replacement part, but only demonstrated their incompetence as the wire harness they sent was the European version for my US vehicle. After Jaguar Motors argued with my dealership for over a week about whether it was the right part, they finally admitted to their failure and agreed to send a new part. Two months have passed since. On several occasions, they told me the part was scheduled to arrive. It will be there Friday... nope... It will be there next Tuesday... nope. This week, when I was told for the third time the part was scheduled to arrive and it didnt, I asked Jaguar Motors to provide a tracking number. When they couldnt produce one, they finally admitted the part is still being tested in England. Why have they boldface lied on three occasions about where they part was. Sir, we dont have that answer, we can only tell you where the part is now.Throughout the entire process, the Jaguar customer service department has demonstrated only one goal... resign me to my fate. There has been no effort of any kind at any point to attempt to resolve the situation faster or to make any concession of any kind. (Of course they still expect that I make my payment in full). Even requesting to speak to a supervisor in the customer service department requires an act of congress. It is their policy that you can never be connected directly to a supervisor. The supervisor reviews your case and then decides whether they feel your case is worthy of a supervisors time.This is the level of service I might expect if I bought a lesser vehicle but this is Jaguar XJ. This is the flagship vehicle of the brand. Should a current model year vehicle ever have to sit for four months waiting for a part? Should a vehicle have accessible parts made from food products that attract animals? Should a car brand of this stature be so blatantly apathetic to customer concerns? My hope is that many will see this review and give it strong consideration before making a purchasing decision.

A/C Condensation Drain Blocked & Leak into Passenger Floorboard: I foun
A/C Condensation Drain Blocked & Leak into Passenger Floorboard: I found water in floorboard carpet coming from under glove box. I learned through Jaguar Forums of this problem on my 2007 Jaguar XK and that a Technical Service Bulletin was issued on it. No recall for the latent design flaw, but some users report $250 coupons being issued for repair. I learned from call on 20 June 2013 that Jaguar will only do this if one uses a Jaguar dealership for the repair. I am now in touch with attorneys to initiate a class action lawsuit against Jaguar North America, as this is a $1,000+ repair for an inexpensive rubber drain tube duck-bill apparatus and elbow. Completely unacceptable response, not even an apology, from Jaguar, who upon prompting suggested I could write to their Board of Appeals. They should know that their typical clientele has resources to conduct punitive actions for such.

I have a 2007 S-type diesel. It has always been serviced at the local dealer. At 120,000 km, it has run a big end bearing. The local agent quoted me 20,000 to replace the engine. The car is not worth this. A request to Jaguar France to make a contribution to this was turned down flat. This makes my S-type the most expensive car I ever bought because it effectively has no resale value. Thank you, Jaguar. You wont be seeing me anytime soon in a Jaguar showroom. My next car will be a Mercedes or a BMW.

Please do not purchase this car!!! I have a 2002 S Type Jaguar. I have replaced the fuel pump for $1,200.00. Both window regulators have gone out. That is $750.00 worth of parts, not adding labor cost. I have replaced the ignition coils twice. My catalytic converter went out - this was another $1,000.00. Now my windshield wipers have stopped working. Now my car is losing power - it drops to 20 mph or less. I was told that was because of the catalytic converter, but that has been fixed, so what is it now? These cars are just pretty. It is never worth the money in the end. I promise if you have a Jaguar, you WILL experience one or more of these problems. They seem to be common. Just go and read other post and blogs. Yes, my car is 11 years old, but the problems came early and it doesnt even have 100,000 miles on it. Oh, I forgot to mention that the transmission default light comes on whenever it feels like it!!

Purchased brand new 2013 Jaguar XJ from Heritage Jaguar in Freeport NY in Dec 2013. Scene 1: Critical oil light went on around 1500 miles and I brought it in and was told by service manager Bill they probably forgot to fill with oil at the factory. Heritage filled with oil and sent me on my way. Scene 2: Another 1500 miles and critical oil light went on again. This time I decided to service at my local dealer Monmouth Jaguar. I showed them the service report from Heritage Jaguar, and was told that they needed to evaluate through an oil consumption test. Oil was filled and I was sent on my way. One point I would like to mention, car constantly smelled of oil burning and I reported it numerous times to both dealer and Jaguar customer service rep named Paul.Scene 3: Another 1500 mile and critical oil light went on again and car was brought to Monmouth Jaguar and they contacted Jaguar engineers and was told to change a bunch of parts, which they did and sent me on my way. Car now has around 5K miles, as you can see we dont drive this car a lot. I did want to take the car on a 350 mile round trip and was scared that it would have a critical oil issue far from my home. I called Monmouth Jaguar and reviewed this and the continuing burning smell of oil after the so called repair was done. They offered me a loaner while they checked out the burning oil smell, on Friday Oct 3rd. On Monday Oct 6th I was called by Monmouth Jaguar and was told that Jaguar decided to replace the engine with a new one.I was concerned, since this is virtually a new car with 5K miles and this issue started from day 1, with the devaluation of the vehicle due to the engine replacement and the look of the Carfax report with all this repair history. I e-mailed Jaguar customer service 2 times and called my Jaguar service rep Paul several times. I spoke to Paul and he too he said he will get back to me. After not hearing back I tried to call the Jaguar executive line and left 2 messages not hearing back at all. Monmouth Jaguar where the car is now, are wonderful and are trying their best to help in every way. It seems Jaguar Corporate is trying to take themselves out of the situation and leave Monmouth Jaguar to relay any decisions. Monmouth Jaguar did say that Jaguar Corporate wants to do the right thing and offered to send me a check for 1 of my monthly payments and they said they would offer me an extended warranty but could not provide the details of the additional miles and time frame.Jaguar Corporate is hiding behind the local dealer and is not taking responsibility. This oil issue started from day 1 and I expect a new vehicle from Jaguar. When the time comes and I try to sell this vehicle I will take a tremendous loss as compared to the market conditions of the time when I go to sell the car. The real surprise of this is that they call themselves a luxury product, and I am still waiting for a response from Jaguar Corporate after many e-mails and calls. Does Jaguar have many issues with this model engine? Obviously my engine does. If this is a unique non everyday occurrence why would Jaguar not want to satisfy a customer by doing what is right and replacing the car?

I have owned 5 Jaguar convertibles and the 2016 F-Type Model S convertible
I have owned 5 Jaguar convertibles and the 2016 F-Type Model S convertible that I leased is the finest of them all! A Nimble and superbly handing car that really comes when you call it and is a genuine Joy to drive. But the Nav/Entertainment system for the 2016 is grotesquely unintuitive and difficult to operate...especially when driving. (Explain why that should be, please). So, May 2018 I ordered a brand new 2019 F Type with almost exactly the same specs and waited 6 months for it to be produced hoping that Jaguar would have fixed the Nav/Entertainment system problem in the newer model and made it easier to use. But it was not to be... When the new F Type arrived in Mid-November 2018, I hurried excitedly to the dealer only to discover that the display screen in the dash turned Bed Sheet White in the sun when the top was down and the display became totally unreadable and unusable.What is with Jags engineers? Dont they test things? My disappointment is incredible after a 6 month wait. I told the dealer that what was wrong was that the contrast on the display screen etc. was set wrong... Certainly, just a software problem that was easily fixable. My dealer contacted Jaguar direct whose solution was completely laughable and out of touch with reality. They ONLY changed the screen component out stating that the one in the car must have been defective. Of course, it did NOT work. Same problem... And Jaguar hasnt responded with a real fix. So now...this rag top driver is totally without a convertible in the middle of convertible season. Im so unhappy that Jaguar is so far out of touch with its customers.

I bought a 2004 Jaguar S Type 3.0 used from a dealership in California. I bought with it the premium Ford extended warranty plan. This Jaguar has been in the shop more times than I have gotten to drive it, it seems. I keep it parked; it has been the worst financial decision of my life. The Ford Extended Warranty Plan I bought from the Ford dealership hardly covers anything. It leaks transmission oil; Ive had to replace the hoses for the coolant lines twice. Ive gotten to drive so many rental vehicles because of owning a Jaguar. I am going to work on a video about my reviews of other cars because of my Jaguar purchase and send it to Jaguar. I am hoping that it goes viral on Youtube and Jaguar sees this and makes things right. It sucks that such a nice and expensive car is still expensive to fix. You would think that Jaguar would like to keep a modicum of respect for themselves in that when you buy an expensive car, you get what you pay for, no, not with Jaguar. When you buy a Jaguar you have to keep paying because it’s a piece of junk. I like to tell friends that buying a Jaguar is like jumping off a building and cutting your ** off one at a time just before you hit the ground. I wouldnt recommend a Jaguar to even my worst enemy. I wish there was a class action lawsuit against Jaguar and their S-Types and lack of reliability.

Can someone let me know if they have had the same problems regarding the power steering rack on an 2001 S-Type? After I bought the car used, 6 months later power steer rack was leaking after around 80000 miles, replaced the steering rack second hand 6 months later after another 4000 miles leaked again. So found another steering rack and had that replaced, and again I seem to have the same issue again. Found steering fluid on the drive this morning 88000 miles so would guess it gone again. The work on the car has been carried out at a garage not done by myself. I know there are little problem you might face when buy a used car but there just always seems to be something going wrong with the S-Type. So far replaced the gearbox once, steering rack twice and header water tank once. The car has proven to a very expensive buy and if it’s the power steering again it could be bound for the scrap yard. Dont want to spend/waste any more money on it.

It started with the brakes and motor. They were replaced but they are still making noises whenever the brakes are applied. The water pump went out within 1000 miles. Now Im still smelling the radiator burning smell. The navigation screen is difficult to function. The response time is delayed when pressing the buttons. The hood sensor repeatedly goes off, not to mention you have to open and close the hood in order to start the car. The alarm goes off for no apparent reason and the radios buttons get stuck when attempting to change songs. This is the most expensive car I have ever had and I will never in life purchase another Jaguar product. The custom service reps are just as rude as the service representatives at the dealership. I had the car for a year and its been in the shop at least 6 times for the brakes and other mechanical related issues. What are you supposed to do when Jaguar Customer Service tells you that their managers only talk to people and then it was cleaned up by saying they only talk to case managers not people and that I should contact the better business bureau. I dont understand how Jaguar remains in business. I need lemon law attorney like yesterday to escalate this matter.

I bought the 2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged used, so far it is such a sweet car, a real head turner. Its inside appointments are fabulous, lots of high grade leather, wood trim, and such a sound system, out of this world. The paint job on the car, plus the body parts are all precision, everything fits perfectly. The ride and fuel mileage are fantastic, 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway. The performance is incredible, 470 horsepower makes it a real rocket ship, plus the overall handling is great. In closing, its a real blast to drive.

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! Its 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!!!

While driving my 2-month old 2014 Jaguar XF, the car shut down while in motion. It was terrifying. The car literally turned off. The steering is power and froze, the computer shut down and I was in the middle of the street. This model has a dial that pops up to change gears in sunk down and I could not put the car in neutral to get out of the street. I had to exit the vehicle and leave it in the middle of the road for 2.5 hours until it could be towed. I am very worried about my safety. This is the third time this occurred. Twice while the car was in motion and once it would not start after being parked. I requested a refund or a new car as I am very worried for my own safety and the safety of any passengers with me. This could have been tragic if I was on a busy road or on freeway.
