Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When parked in a parking lot, the vehicle started moving by itself. This had happen before on a different occasions. This time I could not get it to stop. Because of the accident that ensued, I cant remember a lot about the accident. The police believe I hit the post at 30 to 50 MPH. Because of the Jaguar proprietary information system black box , no one can read the data from the car but Jaguar. That is kind of like letting the fox guard the hen house. All we want to know was if my foot was on the breaks which I believe while trying to stop. …”

NHTSA complaint #11337541, filed 2020-07, 13,000 miles

“Fuel is leaking onto the engine and in the engine bay from the fuel rail and fuel line. I can also smell fuel inside the vehicle's cab. There is already a recall on this exact year make and model vehicle with the same engine. Somehow my vehicle did not make it to the list. My vehicle is available for inspection. My fiance, my baby, and I are at serious risk of fire if this vehicle is started. Or if there is a another means to ignite the fuel considering it is leaking non stop even with the engine off. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or independent service center. …”

NHTSA complaint #11683190, filed 2025-08, 75,000 miles

“Engine fuel rail leak and Engine feed line leak. Starting the car has a raw fuel smell inside the cabin of the car. Took the car to jaguar and they said nothing was wrong. Took the car to a jaguar specialty shop and they revealed the fuel rail needed a recall similar to the 2017+ Jaguar F-Pace for the fuel rail, and 2 engine feed lines. Safety is put at risk by introducing fuel fumes into the cabin of the car, and leaking fuel with the possibility of detonation. …”
