In 2012 Jaguar had a recall on some of their fx model cars due to faulty fuel tank flange issues that could cause the cars to catch fire. The NHTSA campaign # was 12v521000, the recall # was: j027 & the potential number of units affected was 4,195. In the document I've enclosed, you'll see that my vehicle had the exact same issue with the oil leak and cracked fuel tank flange that other cars were recalled for in 2012. I initially noticed a strong fuel smell in my garage after turning the car off and closing the garage door about 1 weeks ago. My next door neighbor also complained that she smelled the gas fumes in her house last week, but noticed that they went away after I removed my car from the garage and parked it outside. I checked Jaguar's website and asked my Jaguar service advisor if
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Jaguar xf. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic fuel pump failed. The electronic fuel pump was replaced; however, the failure recurred approximately one month later. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the high pressure fuel pump was faulty. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced again, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
I have a 2012 Jaguar xf with 48,000 miles which has a gas leak on top of the gas tank where the hose connects to the ascending unit. This is not only very dangerous for my family but also to my home as this issue can cause a fire. I would like this issue resolved by repair as I am aware that Jaguar has issued several recalls and one of the recalls is for a problem with the 2012 jaguars xf leaking gas which could cause a fire.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Jaguar xf. The contact stated that the fuel tank indicator illuminated even though there was half a tank of fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who recommended the fuel pump be replaced. The dealer (Jaguar columbia, 540 jamil rd, suite a, columbia, sc 29210, (803) 731-7493) was contacted and suggested the vehicle be brought in for diagnostic testing. The contact informed the dealer that the vehicle was already in the shop and a part was ordered. The vehicle repairs were being delayed until the fuel pump part arrived. The repairs would be performed by the independent mechanic. The dealer stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 74,124.

Coolant leak caused by bad plastic parts, especially the crossover pipe which was made as a welded together piece. Luckily, I had a warning that my coolant was low and continued to fill the coolant up till I could bring the car in for service and replacement of the water pump and plastic parts as recommended by other owners.
It started off as a small coolant leak but after spotting coolant on the overflow hose, I noticed a crack in the plastic hose. Replacing that hose didn't stop the problem; coolant kept leaking and I had to buy another bottle. I then brought my car to a mechanic who pressure tested it and said the water pump needs to be replaced. He replaces it for $734, we pressure test it, all seems good. A couple days later I start leaking a large amount of coolant again so I purchase a new bottle of coolant just to get home. That night I research 2012 Jaguar water pump issues and see that this is a very know major design flaw and use of cheap plastic affecting lots of owners. The water pump fails regularly and the plastic crossover pipe just bursts at the seems. I have a family friend purchase and re
The dealer said that they fixed the recall, which is not true, because it came back so fast, it just unreal, the manufacture is one who should care about that, i was driving my kid to school wen the car started to shake badly, so i thought its kunda danger to my family !
Timing chain guides wear very easily make of weak or poor quality metal.
I took my car in for an alignment. After checking under the car, the mechanics realized that the coolant tubing was made of plastic and broke. They stated that if I drove the car, I would be in danger of the car smoking and maybe catching fire. I had to replace the coolant. I was informed the Jaguar has changed their engineering of this risk due to the number of complaints and repairs. I also have a 2012 xf and it has the same issue within the same week which is costing me $2200 to replace. This is a serious issue if the coolant issues results is smoking an potential fire of the engine.

I was driving my 2012 Jaguar XF on Highway 75 my car began to go from drive to neutral and changing gears on his own and I almost got hit by a semi-truck with the vehicle slowing down eventually I made it home with the vehicle and put it in park and never came out park again, the gear box had locked up that I was told by a local Jaguar repair shop. I could have lost my life that day with that car doing this and someone else can lose their life if this happen to them if you all don't make Jaguar fixed this problem, if it already hasn't happen to someone. I reported this problem to Jaguar today and they sound like they weren't interested in what I was telling them. They said they would open and case and they will close it. Do that make sense to you to open a case and close it?
cruise control 1 complaint shown
I was driving down I-95 south on 11/12/12, near philadelphia (on the way to a 76ers game) with my 7 year old son in the backseat (with booster). I went to accelerate and the pedal apparently got stuck (I didn't know that was the issue at the time). Harrowing experience to say the least. I saw the engine was revving very high and thus thought it had dropped to a lower gear, but the speed kept increasing (rapidly). Tried using the brakes for 3-5 seconds, but it did not seem to do much (did not solve the problem). I realized what might be going on and slipped my toe under the accelerator then popped it up...no injuries, other than jangled nerves. Interesting that the pedal was not caught on any part of the carpet or being obstructed by it - which was what I theorized while bringing th

brakes 1 complaint shown
Upon starting the car after a brief stop with no prior indication of brake irregularities, the brake pedal went to the floor. The car was stationary at the time; the brake pedal must be depressed in order to start the car. There was an accompanying burning smell at this time, probably attributable to brake fluid being sprayed onto hot engine/exhaust components. There was no useful partial brake action at this time. The car was towed to jag dealer. No fluid in reservoir, left front brake hose had lost integrity. Dealer replaced brake hose, filled and bled system. Dealer provided failed hose to owner for examination. After pressurizing the hose with very low pressure air it was evident that there was a complete failure of the swage connection of the hose at the caliper end fitting. The hos
steering 1 complaint shown
Car stalled while driving in a straight line, vehicle was still in motion when engine stopped without any warning lights (sudden and total loss of power). Steering control was limited when engine shutoff and brake pedal also required much more pressure than normal to bring car to stop. Issue happened while taking off from school parking lot, so no accidents were caused, but it would have been a very likely cause for an accident on a busy freeway. Car did not start back up and had to be towed back to repair shop.

Takata recall. I have not yet been contacted by Jaguar, even though your site states "Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies. Parts will be available during quarter 3 2017. There will be no charge to owners for this repair."

TPMS failure. This warning suddenly appeared. Contacted Jaguar and they are saying that they are hearing more and more about them, however, there is no fix. They recommended that I go to a tire shop and have them scan the sensors, which I did. They scanned all four sensors and they scanned as fine, however, it seems that the sensor suddenly stopped communicating with the vehicle. I cannot get this fixed and not sure of what is going o. Jaguar refuses to listen to the issue.
