New EV Can Add Over 300 Miles Of Range In 30 Minutes
Posted On: May 2, 2022
Tata Motors is an Indian automotive manufacturer responsible for saving Jaguar Land Rover. Without Tata's blank cheque, the British manufacturer would most likely have died. It also attempted to introduce the world's cheapest new car many years ago, but that didn't go as well as the Landy project. Its latest project is predictably an EV, and it has the potential to upset the status quo. Tata's focused chiefly on charging times instead of the fastest acceleration time, prettiest design, or longest range. The brand's new technology has been showcased in the all-new Avinya people carrier, which, in production format, would be a direct competitor to the ID. Buzz. The Avinya is less bus-like, however. If you look at it from the front, you'd never guess what the rest of the car looks like. The front is quite aggressive with ultra-slim headlights, and it relies on LED light strips to create a more modern version of the brand's badge. Even from the side, it looks more compact crossover-like. It's only once you open the suicide doors that you realize the Avinya has been optimized to transport families, much like the long-wheelbase ID.Buzz being developed for the US. Tata used the positive attributes of the EV skateboard design to great effect. There's a completely flat floor with loads of legroom. We recently experienced a similar interior in the Kia EV6, but this car takes it to the extreme. The design is minimalist, and the only hint of technology is a small digital display on the steering wheel. The front seats also swivel to get out easier or converse with passengers in the rear. It's doubtful this is the final design but rather a demonstration of how much more spacious EVs are on the inside. The interior is only half the story. The part we're interested in is the charging. Tata's new Pure EV Architecture makes some big claims. Tata did not say how big the battery would be, but it did state that the owner would be able to add 310 miles of range within 30 minutes. That's faster than any EV currently in production, including the entire Tesla range and Jaguar's own I-Pace. The Avinya has not been green-lit for production, but Tata has made it clear that it wants to expand its reach. It currently sells small hatches and pickup trucks in third-world countries, but a car like this could easily compete with America's best. Expanding is not as simple as that, and customers in the US are unlikely to trust an unknown brand. We're not quite sure Tata will do it with its badge, but it does own Jaguar Land Rover. This matches with Jaguar's recent announcement that it would keep its EV development in-house to go all-electric by 2025.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 own a 2003 Jaguar S-type. At less than 50,000 miles and 7 years I had to replace the transmission?! Since then things along the way have been falling apart. Had to replace the seal in my windows and sun roof. Replace the visor on the driver side. 3 months ago a new radiator and now the air conditioner compressor?!! This car is virtually falling apart!! For a luxury car and being a FORD engine I do not understand why there are so many major issues happening to it?

The dealer has had my vehicle, a 2010 Jaguar XF, for over a week now. I simply had a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Fault light go on in my dashboard. The tire pressure on all four tires was fine. They keep diagnosing the problem with NO positive results. My bill is presently over 2K and after nine days of being in at the dealer, it still is not fixed.

I reckon the engineers built this car so badly because they were trying to have a laugh at the stupidity of those with too much money. I have 2004 VDP XJ8. Only 150K miles. The major issue is the air suspension. It is only a matter of when you will need to spend $4K fixing it. Parts are outrageous. Many here have fuel pump as an issue. $1000 to fix. When a 10 cent switch went bad on overhead console the whole unit had to be replaced $600 part $100 labor. You cant change wiper blades like other cars. Battery has to be special silver calcium. I also have water on floor by glove box. I wont bother you with all the small issues such as coils. Transmission may be next. There is a reason why you dont see any of these vehicles on the road anymore. I have to laugh because if stock market investors ever looked here they would never buy another Jaguar share. The powers that be dont care. The bosses are here today, take a fat check, and leave tomorrow. I hope we can stop people buying Jaguar. And Im a Brit. Even if you are rich, why throw money away? My Jag was $85K at 2004 time value of money. Today one can find them at $4K. The depreciation and cost of upkeep will probably end up costing you $2 a mile. Imagine taking a 10 mile drive to grocery store and just throwing $20 out the window. Silly rich folk. The only plus for this vehicle is that it looks so beautiful.

New $90,000 plus Jaguar XJL. The car has been in the shop Four times for over a total of 20 days. All kind of electrical problems, most prevalent is with Bluetooth disconnecting or instrument panel blanking out completely. Jaguar has no idea how to fix the issues and refuses to replace the computers. They have asked us to wait for a major software update that in July. This is our fifth Jaguar XJ and by far the worse electronics of any of the over 25 cars I have owned.

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.

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 have a 2013 Jaguar Premium Edition. I leased it brand-new from Heritage Jaguar. The car has 3700 miles on it. My brake pads low warning light came on at 3600 miles. I took it to Jaguar of Freeport and they claimed my driving was the cause of my brake pads needing to be changed. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. They refused to change the pads which were barely worn. The sensors are placed very close to the pads. This will definitely be my last Jaguar. My lease ends in September of 2016, so Ill have to put up with it until then.

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 **.

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 recently bought a used Jag S type from a main dealer in Birmingham, UK. I bought the car from the main dealer after having bought from previous main Jag dealer both new and used cars. As I drove the car away it became noticeable that it had mechanical issue. I tried for a solid week to have the dealer return my calls and my first call to them was on the same day of purchase. The car also had cosmetic issues not noticed at the time, including broken back light cluster, broken from grill and rust on the door sills. After a few weeks they finally agreed to repair the damage but insisted in taking the car back to their dealership some 140 miles away? Not my local same dealership network 15 miles away to repair under warranty which was agreed at point of sale.To cut a long story short it had more problems all within 5 weeks of purchase, so in the end the dealership offered to buy the car back because it was uneconomic to repair and would go to auction and they didnt want to be associated with a bad deal for sake of the company name etc. and so I thought this was acceptable and after all I would get my cash back. As I work overseas they took this car back the day after I had left and at the time I had no car to replace this one with I had to pay the remainder of my insurance premium rather than switch my insurance over.A week later as I was looking at the main Jag dealer website for used Jags I noticed this same car for sale at a higher price? You can imagine my anger etc.. It is obvious that they took this car back to shut me up. So after my inconvenience and payment of insurance, they could have just fixed this car? And returned it to me as it should have been instead of the subterfuge etc. I have complained to the head office and the dealership but as yet some 6 weeks later no one has bothered to return my calls which does not surprise me given the experience that I had with them initially.

Forgive the Rant… Public service announcement. I Purchased a certified pre-owned Jaguar XF July 2017 with 32,000 miles. When I picked it up it was raining so the next day I noticed it had road tar all along the bottom and scratches, Called my sales guy Chad and he apologized and said they are in between detail people so I told him I was getting it detailed. The detail manager called and once again apologized and asked me to submit the recent and he would reimburse me. Then we noticed a sputtering (Shaking) when the car was at an idle so I called service and was told I would get a callback. Well 2 days later no call, I called the GM Bryan… because Mercedes also called me saying my payment is 28 days late and they haven’t received payment. (It wasn’t even due when I purchased the Jag.) Of course once I called the GM then everyone called me… Service had my car 4 days the 1st time, said they replaced the Motor mount. OK got it back. 3 days later a cloud of white smoke from the exhaust started and still sputtering, they came to pick it up, gave me a loaner and had my car almost a week, this time replaced the fuel sensor. Well it’s still sputtering, the guy who came to pick it up drove it with me and felt it, my husband felt it and my daughters so I’m not making it up… Now it’s been in service almost 2 weeks for the 3rd time. (They were closed 4 days due to Hurricane.) I got a call from Patrick (not sure who he is) today Friday and he asked what the situation was, I explained and he said he was going to check on the car. I get a call from Frank in service 30 minutes later saying that they replaced the motor Mount. “Really? Isn’t this what you did the first time?” “Yes mam but this is the other one,” (Aren’t they a pair replace one replace the other?) so I guess all of a sudden this other one just got bad? They proceed to tell me to drive it for a couple of weeks and see how it is…. He also went on to tell me that because it is a 4 cylinder it will ride different than a 6 or 8 cylinder, I guess he thinks I’m stupid because I’m a female, The cylinder 4, 6 or 8 has nothing to do with the sputtering when it’s idling. Needless to say I’m pissed, I don’t even want the car, asked to trade it but of course I got the runaround and told they know it’s an inconvenience but it’s under warranty… (they’ve had the car more than me)… Needless to say I picked the car up for the 3rd time and it is still sputtering I feel like I’m in a race car with the big exhaust pipes when I’m at an idle. Disgusted with Jaguar. Wish I would have kept my Mercedes AND if you’re thinking about buying a Jaguar. Think again. So far I have had 3 brand new 3 loaners price range from 45,000 to 66,000 and I wasn’t impressed with any of them but at least they didn’t sputter like mine… Oh and I still haven’t been reimbursed for the detail 2 months later after the GM, used car manager and detailed manager said I was going to be… 1st time sputtering Motor mount. 2nd time. White smoke & sputtering. Fuel sensor replaced. 3rd time replaced another motor mount. Told by service to drive it for a couple of weeks and see how it does, also that it rides rough because it is a 4 cylinder still sputters.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Jan 25, 2017 I purchased my 1st Jaguar. I had reservation only because what others had said and the reviews I had read. More things not positive from other owners. But Ive watched the line-up for the last four years and I was very impressed. Once the F-Pace came out I was really sold because I wanted to get off the ground from my 2015 E400 Benz.Well it would have to happen to me. The first day I take my car home the bluetooth is not functioning correctly. But Jaguar came to my home and tried a couple of things that didnt work but left me with another car and said all should be fixed by Monday. But I was still ok because I just didnt want to think this is what I have to look forward to for the next 6 years. By the next Monday with no fix in sight I spoke with the sales Manager at Bluff City and he said Greg, this is not suppose to happen and I give you my word. Give us a couple more days and Jaguar and this Dealership will make it right. By Wednesday morning my F-Pace was ready and not only that Jaguar Service Manager Mr. ** have been in contact with me about the vehicle and Corporate has called and provided inconvenience gift for my time spent. Which they didnt have to. I just wanted to be able to show off my New Jag like I did with my 1st Benz.So what am I saying, some things are really unforeseen, had we known it would have happened to us we would have gone in a different direction. This vehicle offers so much more than what I received with Mercedes as far as service plan, stolen vehicle protection for free. No one was trying to sale me any other products once I purchased the F-Pace. Im still waiting to get my refund off my Benz since it was paid for early and I purchased the extended warranty, Tire and wheel, prepaid maintenance and MBrace. Almost 6K on top of the car. But I did love my Benz. Just wanted to try the new Jag Cars. Bluff City Jaguar see Derrick and Virgil and if you need service see Mr. **! I give them 100 in taking care of Jaguar/Land Rover family members.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!! Now it is just parked.

My 2007 XK Convertible I took in for service at Hornburg in Santa Monica. I had an extended warranty. Warranty, although sold by Jaguar, is not through Jaguar but another company. I was not told this. Jaguar inspected the car at sale of the warranty and I was told it was in perfect condition. About 9 months later, I took it in for warranty repairs. Jaguar called in an inspector from the warranty company who covered the air bag problem. He was never told about the other problems and refused to cover them and I had to pay. The amount was not enough to sue, so I was stuck.In addition, I was humiliated by their service manager when he went behind my back and called the inspector in an obvious collusion against me.Jaguar is not customer-friendly and just wants to take your money. Their cars are not made well. They use inferior materials that show all sorts of dents and dings. American made cars do not have this problem. Do not buy a jaguar.Two weeks after I took delivery of the vehicle, the rearview mirror fell off and the service department initially refused to put it back, until I filed a suit. They had to pay counsel fees and court costs. This is a bad company.

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.

I have literally had zero problems... ever! Ive owned other exotic brands, including one very expensive one that had to be lemon lawed!

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.

In 2018 I leased a Jaguar FPace, this was the first and last time I will ever waste a dime on a leased vehicle. I was having issues with the vehicle shutting off at stop signs and when I would pull into a parking spot, and it was not the auto engine off, the car would fully turn off, they took it in and said they could not find anything wrong with it. It continued to happen and the second year when I took it in for the regular maintenance they stated it was some ground wire issue and a computer update and it should be fixed. It happened again several months later when driving the whole screen on the navigation and radio went black and restarted and the car did as well.To add insult to injury when I called about the vehicle issue they said they could not take it back as I hadnt had the issue three times. Then at 15k miles I was driving and the car started pulling and the engine light came on, the engine pulley completely shattered and left me stranded on the side of the highway with about $500 in groceries in my trunk. I called Jag and they came and collected and fixed the car. Now the lease is ending, I have called Jag financial group at least six times to get a copy of my lease agreement and payoff that they never provided in the beginning and it took me separately calling the dealership after three months of trying to get it from Jaguar financial to get a copy.Every single time I have called Jaguar financial the payoff amount has been different than my contract payoff amount. They are trying to add on extra unwarranted fees for property taxes on a vehicle I dont own after I sent the affidavit that shows I do not own property taxes. They received the affidavit over a month before the lease ended and after a month they still refuse to process it even with me calling daily. I have spent at least six hours on the phone with them in the past month and no resolutions. Now if I dont pay off the car by the end of lease date I get another 106 in fees added on since they still havent done anything to remove the incorrect ~200 in taxes they are trying to charge.

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 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.

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 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!!!

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. If I could give them zero stars, I would. There are other luxury cars that Im sure are safe and most likely have good customer service. #lastjagforme! #youllgetscrewed

I Just bought a 2011 XJL which still had some remaining warranty but I also got extended warranty as well. Same week the car went in to the shop, engine vibrations, weird idling, seems its going to shut off when Im in reverse, XM radio was cutting out, speaker was cracked. I took it into the dealership at Newport Beach Jaguar, a few days after I bought it because the massage on driver side was making a loud noise. They replaced it and I told them about the cracked speaker but they couldnt hear it and I also complained about a rough idling with vibration and a check engine light came on. Well they, God knows what they did but supposedly they fixed it. I picked up my car and drove it home and two days later the same problem came back check engine light and the vibration. I drove it back to Newport Beach and left it with them for 12 days. They said they changed the spark plugs as they noticed there was some leak from a compressed washer that sits around the spark plug. I said ok whatever just give me my car back already I miss it. Everything seemed normal until I took and I drove it for max 2 weeks and back again. Now a different dealership got involved and they worked on the fuel injectors saying that they looked bad, changed 4 supposedly and car picked up again. Seemed fine then The idling issue pops up again. I take it in and asked a Jaguar lead mechanic to take in on a ride with me. He did and noticed a slight hesitation and vibration but said close to normal but lets keep it overnight and see. They did and when turned it on next day the engine light came on and the noticed what I was talking about. Its been at the dealership now for 15 days testing and bringing a field service engineer and towards a few days ago Im starting to get hints that there is a possible engine replacement. Im out of words after I heard that and Im not sure how to go about this right now. Ive made 2 payments on the car and the dealership had the car more than me. Im beyond frustrated as this was my next car on the list to get and I got it and so far I have regretted the day that I made that decision.

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. At least as long as I am in the Austin area and have to deal with Jaguar of Austin.

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.

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.

I’m am writing to you regarding my 2003 Jaquar S type, which has now been
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.

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.

I have always wanted a Jaguar which has always been my dream car. Jaguar XJL is an amazing car which has all the options I wanted. It has exceptional performance, luxury and style. I love the British racing green color on the exterior and the beautiful cream color leather upholstery. However, the navigation system needs updating as it will not accept some street names and addresses and the touch screen is not nearly sensitive enough.

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.

From the very first day I brought the car home we had problems with our Jag
From the very first day I brought the car home we had problems with our Jaguar XF. It left my wife stranded on the freeway multiple times when it simply shut down and refused to go. This is a common problem. The car was eventually re-wired from bumper to bumper. It has had brakes replaced three times in 65k miles. Not one sensor told us the brakes were low, and they couldnt figure that out either. Now the dash has bubbled up and the leather is separating after 65k miles. It has been garage kept since day one, and it is probably happening from being removed for all of the warranty work. Jag will not cover it.

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!!!

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 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.

I left my car on 17/9/13 with Preston Jaguar Centre (in Preston, UK) for minor repairs. Someone scraped the back passenger side bumper and agreed to pay for the repairs to the garage if I am satisfied. So I took the as arranged for paint work. I was told I will get the car next day. I agreed to collect the car and once I am happy we can call the person to pay the bill. There was a very slight dent which only I was aware off as it can hardly be seen by another person only when the light fall on that door from a certain angle. My bad luck I mentioned it to the garage but decided not to do anything about it. The guy I handed my car over he could hardly see it and agreed to leave it. There was no scratches and dents other than the one mentioned above.On 18/9/13 at around 4:30pm I rang to confirm if repairs are done. I was told it is done and car is on its way to my work place. When I examined the car the bumper scrape was done, but there was 7 inches by 7 inches scratch and dent on the passenger side of the car about 12 inches below that nearly invisible little indentation. When I highlighted it the person who brought the car insisted it was there. He started to use bullying tone and said his employee know nothing. He is the boss. What he says is right and drove off in the courtesy car they gave me.When I texted the person who was pay for the repairs he texted me that the garage called him to pay or the car will not be released to me so he has paid the garage. I called the garage around 5pm. The guy whom I handed over my car on 17/9/13 he picked up the phone. When I told him of the new big dent he was surprised and agreed that it was not there and said he like to see it. I was not prepared to go to the garage as I felt threatened by the owner so I said he can come and see my car as I am at work till 6pm. He never came.

Hi, I am the proud Owner of Jaguar XF. Though I have many high-end cars Jag had remained my favorite until now and I drive the vehicle and none of my driver drives this car as I reserve this for my self drive car. No doubt the car is amazing but just that will not help to own a Jaguar car and even the service matters a lot. I am glad that Tata has taken over sales and service of this premium segment but they are maintaining the service quality like the lower models itself (Tata vehicles) which I am not happy with.I have been experiencing the very bad service from your dealers from my very first service of the vehicle. First of all you people dont have free pick up and drop services like other high-end cars but no issues but what matters is I would have taken prior appointment and taken the vehicle to drop but still I need to wait for more than half an hr which is not agreeable and when I inquired at reception instead she calling service adviser she also joined morning meeting and was left with no option but to wait for more than half an hr. Look I am a businessman and I cant afford to waste time.Till date my vehicle has gone every time twice for same repair after service. Recently I had serviced my vehicle on 8th Nov 2016 which was run around 14,511 Kms and I remembered the adviser telling me in earlier service that the brake pads should be replaced. Based on that I insisted that brake pads be changed but the adviser told it will run another 2000 kms and told whenever you are going on long trips you come we will check. If its worn out we will replace.But to my shock 500 kms later I. e, on reaching 14,950 kms (07.01.2017) I got a message saying the brake pads needs to be replaced. Luckily I didnt have to replace the sensors but I had to drop the vehicle again back to service center which is waste of my time again. And after doing this I had another shock waited. My driver when washing the car saw that one nut (which we require separate bit to open wheel for security) was missing and I had to call up service center to check on the same. They checked and replied saying sir we had tightened the wheel nuts properly and we have checked it twice even after road test. The thing is either your people should open or mine but at my place my drivers dont even know where the bit is and nobody touches my car apart from washing so where did the nut go and how did it fall if they had tightened properly?But however it may be I am at loss. Again I need to spend around 10 to 15 k and purchase the nuts which is waste of money. I was very happy with the car and planning to buy a Vogue but seeing the service I am planning to drop the plan and planning to go for Merc. Because of all this experience I am very disappointed and dont recommend this brand to any of my people. Look into my issue, wrt to the nuts if anything can be done to it. I would like to share my experience online to all other people as well but doing so your reputation will be spoilt which I dont want to do it anyway. With regards to the above I had even mailed the details to Jaguar but till date no response and got some acknowledgement kind but you cant call that as one.

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.

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

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.

Took my X type for service. Advised the service advisor that I suspect a water pump is not working coz no water comes up when trying to clean windscreen (thought thats what water pump is for). They did not advise me otherwise nor did they quote me for the water pump. Collected the car and asked why my problem was not fixed, only then he confirmed it is not working and he would send me a quote.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
