Common Jaguar Xf problems
Based on complaints from owners of Jaguar XF cars, common problems with these vehicles include:
- Transmission Problems: Jaguar XF cars are known to experience early transmission failure, which can lead to significant issues with the vehicle's performance. Detecting transmission problems early through comprehensive diagnostics is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure proper functioning.
- Ignition Coil Issues: The ignition coils in Jaguar XF cars are essential for creating sparks to ignite fuel. Failure of these coils can result in inadequate engine performance, sometimes without triggering the check engine light. Intermittent issues with ignition coils can impact the overall running of the engine.
- Coolant & Engine Difficulties: Coolant loss is a common problem in some Jaguar XF models, often due to leaks in the coolant reservoir. If left unaddressed, coolant leaks can lead to engine overheating, causing extensive damage. Monitoring coolant levels and addressing leaks promptly is crucial to prevent engine issues.
- Brake Failure: The brake pressure accumulator, a component of the antilock brake system in Jaguar XF cars, is prone to failure. When this part malfunctions, it can cause the brake pedal to stiffen, making it challenging to slow down or stop the vehicle. Unusual noises from the front brakes may indicate a need for brake system inspection.
- Engine Issues: Jaguar XF cars have been reported to face problems with the timing chain and engine overheating. Noises during engine startup or idling could signal issues with the timing chain tensioner. Overheating engines can lead to damage to cylinder bores and excessive oil consumption. Timely detection and resolution of engine issues are essential to maintain the vehicle's performance.
These common problems highlight the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any signs of malfunction in Jaguar XF cars to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the vehicle.

- Date Complaint: 2024-02-04
- VIN: SAJWA0FB1BL
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I just recently purchased the car from a dealer here in Salt Lake City. But suddenly began to smell fuel mostly in the backseat area inside the car. I decided to investigate and found there is a leak underneath the rear passenger side of the car which appears to be fuel looks like it may be mixed with the little oil hard to say it's a pretty steady drip especially if I'm parked uphill. This is definitely a safety hazard being that it is fuel and could easily cause a fire putting me my family and others at risk. I noticed there was a recall on these vehicles it is a Jaguar XF 2011 but it looks like it has been closed from what I can tell. I'm hoping that that's not the case and we can get this fixed with minimum or no charge thing it was a recall

Jaguar Xf 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-19
- Date Complaint: 2023-05-19
- VIN: SAJWA0ES6DP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: To the best of my ability id like to explain why my car does not operate . i have taken my car to two jaguar dealership and have talked to Rocco' s European car repair shop as well and the all say that what is defective with my car is the central junction box. When I asked them all as to why this does not function they all said its a known problem with the car specifically due to "water ingress" leaking from the windshield wiper pump and on to the underside of the Central junction box and my wires are corroded and cause electrical failure as the say water and electricity are not a safe combination. with this malfunction my car no longer starts . Yes of course my car is available for inspection and it has been confirmed by both Hennessey Jaguar of Atlanta and Jaguar south Atlanta both have provided documentation as to the necessity to change the central junction box and both dealership's are not privately owned and not connected to one another yet they state the same reason as to why my car will not function. Yes my 2013 jaguar is a dangerous vehicle to drive as the car doors spontaneously opened and closed on their own the interior lights turned on and off and some other malfunctions engaged even when not engaged to do so i believe the breaking system also flashed traction control turns on even though i didn't ask it to be turned on. i am afraid that my car with water in the junction box could lead to an electrical fire as told to me by numerous mechanics Yes my car was inspected by both dealerships in Atlanta and both diagnosed the problem and being the "CJB." The symptoms initially started with my doors mysteriously locking and unlocking and then other electrical problems occurred after that. These symptoms first appeared in 2021 and there were messages that flashed on the dash message especially one that said see owners handbook i may not be sure of the wording but that's essentially the message . this is my best assessment of the problems.
Jaguar Xf 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-04
- Date Complaint: 2023-04-12
- VIN: SAJBL4GX6NC
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: Car stalls and jumps out of gear at takeoff leaving us in the middle of the intersection having to turn the car off and restarting it as cars are trying to go around, also car accelerates too high rpm when taking off at low speed
Jaguar Xf 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2016-02-01
- Date Complaint: 2023-03-24
- VIN: SAJWJ0EF5D8
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The car employs a start/stop system to shut the engine when stopped. When it restarts the engine, the idle speed drops to about 400 RPM (half normal idle) and surges when it recovers. It has also stalled several times. I've asked the dealership to fix this, but when at the dealer, the system would not shut the engine so they have not verified the issue. The first safety issue happens if the driver is not expecting the surge resulting in sudden acceleration. The second issue happened when the car stalled at an intersection with other cars trying to get by. This has happened many times since I purchased the car in 2015. The stop/start function stopped working for a period of time when the primary battery was older and weak. Since replacing the batter, this is happening more frequently now. I did find this issue on KBB's website, but not on yours https://www.kbb.com/jaguar/xf/2013/recall/

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.

I owned this car for 3.5 years before I was recently T-boned and the car totaled. I absolutely loved this car! It had a great interior and exterior design, and handled beautifully. I especially enjoyed the feel behind the wheel of the 5.0. While the navigation system was not quite up to par with its German competitors, even when I bought it in 2013, I still highly recommend this year and model. I am currently in the market again and hoping that the 2017's

Warranty for a used vehicle can help alleviate concerns about past reliability issues. We were sold on the R-sport due to its Luxury & Technology package. When we drove it from TX to CA after purchasing, we thoroughly enjoyed the smooth ride and handling characteristics. Additionally, the upgraded sound system is absolutely fabulous!

I really enjoy driving this car, but unfortunately, it has been in the shop for over a month due to a transmission issue. The knob is stuck in park and the dealer informed me that there are no available parts, which means I have to wait for three weeks. Although the car has been great overall, this transmission problem is a deal breaker for me. I reached out to the factory for assistance, but they did not follow up with me as promised. Given the other options available, I will be looking for a more reliable car and better service commitment in the future. It's unfortunate that my local dealer is struggling to provide the service I need.

I used to think that Jaguars were only for those who were past their prime and that they were always in need of repairs. However, my recent experience has completely changed my mind. The ride was absolutely amazing, and even at 100mph, it was as smooth as butter! I discovered a hidden gem and got great value for my money compared to Audi, BMW, and Mercedes E series. Move over guys, the Jaguar is back with a roar! The styling is cool, sexy, and hot. Don't mess with this one!
Are you having problems with your Jaguar Xf?
Leo Rau 2025-03-27

The car looked great at first, but unfortunately, problems arose soon after. On my way home from the dealer, the engine light came on. I took it back, but they couldn't explain what was wrong (the computer should have given some kind of code). They suggested that the battery may have been low, so they recharged it and reset the computer. However, on my way home from the dealer, the differential started making noise. I took it back again, and the dealer initially thought it might be normal. However, after driving it with a mechanic, they acknowledged that it should not make noise. They had to obtain approval from Jaguar to repair it. At this point, I had had enough. After driving 170 miles, 150 of which were back and forth to the dealer, I returned the car. It cost me $6,000.00 to have the dealer buy back the car. If you're considering purchasing this car, please be careful. Jaguar USA didn't seem to care about my experience!
Ernesto Waters 2025-03-21

I have owned high-end cars for a long time, and I must say that my experience with Jaguar has been disappointing. Despite taking good care of the car, it has required several repairs, including the alternator, water pump and neck, valve gasket, vacuum pump, and various electronic issues. I have spent $6500 on repairs in the last two years alone. Unfortunately, my family has had similar problems with their Jaguar, and we have decided not to purchase another one. It is a shame because the car is beautiful and we enjoy driving it. We have always paid a lot of money for regular servicing, but the need for expensive repairs due to poorly made parts at such low mileage is unacceptable. It took two years of persistent communication to receive a reasonable response from the manufacturer, which is disappointing. Overall, my experience with Jaguar has not been satisfactory, and I cannot recommend it to others.
Rylan Schimmel 2025-03-04
Vehicle year: 2011
Do not consider purchasing a Jaguar. Despite being a beautiful car, they are poorly built and have horrible reliability. My 2010 Xf Premium with 43k miles had been under warranty its whole life and passed a dealership inspection, yet still experienced multiple issues. Airbag sensors went faulty, the front suspension was full of cheap rubber bushings that caused the steering wheel to shake, the infotainment screen froze frequently, and the leather dashboard was beginning to wear. Even the reverse camera worked only when it wanted to. Although the dealership did update the car, they refused to cover the cost of repairs for the airbag sensors. I regret my decision to purchase a Jaguar and will never buy one again. Save yourself the trouble and consider a more reliable brand like Lexus.
Erik Bahringer 2025-02-28

This was my first jag. I originally wanted something that could fit 4 comfortably, was unique and fast. I found the XF in my Google search back in 2012. Although there was very little history with this model back then, I decided to take a chance. Here I am 8 years later and I’ve just sold my favorite car to drive. However, it was also the most unreliable car I've ever owned. I cannot overstate this. Unfortunately, it spent a lot of time in the shop. If I could extract the unreliable nature from my experience with this car, it would be 5 stars all day long. The performance and handling of this car were second to none. The Supercharged is a BEAST with an elegant look. I can’t tell you how many LOUD egotistical Mustang drivers I left in the dust, even the Cobra’s. It didn’t matter if it was off the line or from a 60 mph “start”. There were even some sub Z06 vette’s I saw in the rear view. At the end of the day, I finally sold it (yesterday) after far too many breakdowns. The new owner called me within 5 minutes of buying it to ask why the trunk cap had fallen off. I wanted to say it’s because it’s a Jag you idiot, but she'll figure it out eventually.
Carey Boehm 2025-02-24

Although my experience with this car was not great, I believe it is important to highlight some of the issues I encountered. One major issue was a design flaw in the rear differential, which caused the differential cover to break at the speed of 50mph and subsequently broke my two rear axles, leading to the car failing in the middle of the road. My mechanic informed me that this flaw could have caused the car to flip over. Additionally, there were frequent check engine lights for various emission problems. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this car and will not be purchasing a Jaguar again.
