The Jaguar F-Type (X152) is a series of two-door, two-seater grand tourers manufactured by British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover under their Jaguar Cars marque since 2013. The car's JLR D6a platform is based on a shortened version of the XK's platform. It is the so-called "spiritual successor" to the famous E-Type.

The car was launched initially as a 2-door soft-top convertible, with a 2-door fastback coupé version launched in 2013. The F-Type underwent a facelift for the 2021 model year. It was unveiled in December 2019, featuring a significantly restyled front end and dashboard, and simplified drivetrain options. Jaguar announced that the F-Type will be discontinued after the 2024 model year.

F-Type concept (2000)

The F-Type concept was a two-seat speedster with a 3.0-litre V6 engine from the S-Type saloon conceived to compete against light weight sports cars, such as the Porsche Boxster. Geoff Lawson, Jaguar's Head of Design, had been working on the development of the car, leading a team of three designers namely Keith Helfet, Adam Hatton and Pasi Pennanen. His sudden death in 1999 led Ian Callum, the new Head of Design, to continue the project who would present the finalised concept car to the general public at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show to a positive response due to its retro styling which recalled Jaguar automobiles of the 1950s and 60s. At its introduction, the car was quoted to be available with a manual or automatic transmission and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Budget cuts by parent company Ford led Jaguar to pursue its efforts in Formula-One and by 2002, the F-Type project was cancelled due to its failure to meet production feasibility.

Common 2014 Jaguar F-type problems

Based on the complaints from owners of the Jaguar F-Type 2014, here are the common problems associated with this car:

Sticking Exhaust Valves:
- Owners have experienced problems with the valves in the active exhaust system sticking open. This issue may necessitate a new back box, typically covered under warranty.

Windows:
- Original F-Types were prone to scratches on the windows caused by tiny stones getting between the seal and the glass. Jaguar addresses this by fitting modified seals free of charge to rectify the problem.

Squeaks and Rattles:
- The rising center air vent and pop-out door handles have caused issues for some owners, leading to squeaks and rattles over time. While these issues are more common in earlier models, they can often be resolved with a simple software update.

These problems highlight some of the common issues faced by owners of the Jaguar F-Type 2014, ranging from mechanical concerns like differential leaks and sticking exhaust valves to minor annoyances such as window scratches and interior rattles.

Do Jaguar F types have problems?

A well-known problem with the supercharged V8 and V6 models is the timing chain jumping. This is caused by a design flaw in the tensioners and guides.

Is the Jaguar F-Type 2014 reliable?

The F-Type's engines are proven from use in Jaguar's other cars so shouldn't give too much cause for concern if serviced to schedule. Some owners have, however, found that the rear differential can leak oil due to faulty seals.

How many miles can a Jaguar F-Type last?

Most Jaguar vehicles will last for at least 150,000 miles, but there's a lot that a driver can do to push this number much higher. With regular oil replacement, belt changes, spark plug replacement, and other basic maintenance services, you can ensure that your Jaguar lasts for 200,000 miles or more.

2014 Jaguar F-type recalls

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 2 recalls for different components of the 2014 Jaguar F-type.

2019-04-25

Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Components: AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
Summary: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar Land Rover) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles previously remedied under Recall 14V-714. The seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. As a result, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H208.

2014-11-07

Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Summary: Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position. Both sensors provide information to the restraint control module (RCM) which informs whether the front passenger airbag should be activated, depending on whether the sensors detect the seat is occupied and/or that it is occupied by an adult passenger.
Consequence: Should the STS not have been wired correctly, the front passenger air bag may not be suppressed, and may remain activated, even when a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat or a small statured adult occupies that seat. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, a child or small stature occupant may be at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.
