Fuel system: “I lately noticed your Jaguar recall for models XF of 2013. It concerns fuel pump immediate shutoff when there is excess fuel pump amperage and a fuse trips to shut off the fuel pump. It cannot be reset until the fuse cools down, at least 20 minutes is reported. My car's VIN number is apparently over the specified coveerge period so #15v091000 recall does not apply to my 2013 car. At the time in looking for answers I found none. My event: this past summer I was driving to sudbury, ma at 10 p.m. …”

NHTSA complaint #11382716, filed 2020-12, 53,000 miles

Air bags: “Driving Jaguar XF and hood bonnet opened at 45 miles an hour on its own.

Pulling up on a highway. The harlingen cops were called made it to my home and the cop made no notes and just gave us a incident number. There was a recall for airbags on this car also after this happened all motorists went haywire and display started going off and saying every sensor was wrong.”
