“I was driving down the highway and noticed my car did not want to pull when I sped up. A few more miles down the road I noticed smoke coming from my tail pipe and the my air vents. So I pulled over, got out, and walked around to the front of the car and noticed what looked like oil on the side of my car. By this time fire started coming from under the hood. Within minutes my car was blazing and a total loss. What happened to my car? That's what I really want to know. How does a 2015 Jaguar with only 36,000 catch and fire and burn up.”
NHTSA complaint #11133135, filed 2018-10, 36,000 miles“My vehicle has about 68k miles, I have always serviced the vehicle properly. While driving the car my steering locked up and my vehicle lost all power on a busy road with my children in the car. Luckily we are safe but this is very dangerous. I have had the car inspected by several certified and insured mechanics and the engine pulley broke off of my engine block causing my entire engine and steering to shut down. …”
NHTSA complaint #11434062, filed 2021-09“the engine stopped working. The dealer said a new was required since the engine no longer had enough compression in one cylinder. The car had only 83,000 miles. In talking with other repair shops, they said this is a common feature in many 2015 XFs.”
