Common Jaguar Xf problems

Based on complaints from owners of Jaguar XF cars, common problems with these vehicles include:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

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.

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.

Latest negative Jaguar Xf car reviews

  1. Doris Davis 2025-05-26

    Vehicle year: 2013

    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 hope they improve their customer service and product quality in the future.

  2. Kristian Brakus 2025-05-22

    Vehicle year: 2009

    This car has major electrical problems that have persisted since the early stages of ownership. Despite numerous attempts to address the issues, they have not been resolved. It is clear that Jaguar and Momentum (dealership) are aware of these problems, yet they have not taken responsibility for them. As a result, I cannot recommend this car to anyone who values reliability and safety.

  3. Juvenal Parker 2025-05-19

    Vehicle year: 2013

    This car runs well, but it requires regular maintenance. I have had to replace the water pump and sensor, and the gear shifter knob was stuck in park and drive, but I was able to replace it. It is possible that the fuel pump may need to be replaced in the future. Overall, this car is reliable as long as it is properly maintained.

  4. Clovis Kilback 2025-05-18

    Vehicle year: 2015

    Overall, I really like my 2013 XF AWD. It drives well and handles the snow with ease. However, I have had some issues with the electronics. The overhead lamps sometimes turn on by themselves and when I put the car in park and remove my seat-belt, it will sometimes turn itself off completely. I have brought it to the dealership, but unfortunately, they have been unable to resolve the issues. Despite these issues, I still enjoy driving my car.

  5. Rickey Kautzer 2025-05-04

    Vehicle year: 2011

    I've been using the car for 3 months now, and spent 10 days at the dealership. Unfortunately, it stalled twice without warning, and I had to have it towed once. However, I've heard that there is a recall for the 'Fuel Starvation' issue. Additionally, there was some wind noise that was fixed (moon roof not sealed), a stain on the roof cloth that the dealer couldn't remove, and the preset station on the SAT radio was erased (but has since been fixed). While the Blackberry sometimes needs to be reconnected (which hasn't been fixed), and the signal light wasn't returning correctly (but has since been fixed), I must say that the car looks great and is pretty fast. However, these issues have made me lose my appetite for Jags. I hope this feedback helps improve the quality of their cars.

    Vehicle year: 2011

    You have a great car! It's understandable that you would like to trade it in for a new or newer Jaguar, but it seems like your wife loves this car so much that she hates to give it up. However, when the time comes, we'll be happy to help you find the perfect new Jaguar that you both will love!

  2. Jarrett Koepp 2025-05-27

    Vehicle year: 2009

    I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with this car. I bought it back in May 2012 when it had only 13,000 miles on it. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews, but I decided to take a chance and traded in my beloved 2002 XJ8 with 120,000 miles on it. I'm so glad I did because it has been an absolute joy to drive!

  3. Leopold West 2025-05-25

    Vehicle year: 2016

    I absolutely love my Jaguar's ability to effortlessly glide down the road, devouring the miles... and it can just as easily be confidently thrown around like the sports sedan it truly is. Apart from a minor transmission issue that was quickly resolved upon delivery, the R-Sport I purchased has been trouble-free, requiring only the free annual services which I was delighted to pay $0.00 for. It feels incredibly responsive, agile, and nimble. Mine has the 6-cylinder engine, and the mileage is great as long as I'm not in the mood to drive it too aggressively. Any complaints about the stop/start feature (which seems to be on all cars now?) are unfounded; it has never been an issue for me, and there's a button located just four inches from your thigh if you ever need to disable it in stop/start traffic. While the interior design changes from the prior model are minimal and the overall design is a bit understated, the XF is definitely worth buying for its capabilities, ride quality, and confident feel. The Adaptive Dynamics are particularly impressive, tightening up when needed while still providing a comfortable ride. The only thing I regret is not knowing about and waiting for the wagon version. Update 3/19: It's been almost three years since I got my XF, and it hasn't required any attention beyond the free annual service visits. 9/19 I've been receiving more compliments on the car lately, and I continue to enjoy it, slick and quick. 9/21 five+ years/31K miles with the Jag, and I like it even more, and still no problems. I can't imagine driving anything else.

    Great car! As a former Audi driver, I found the A6 to be a bit boring. However, this car has a beautiful design and is a real head turner. I personally have the Black on Black Portfolio package and I must say, it looks stunning. It's worth noting that this car needs a 3000 mile break-in period, so the suspension may feel a bit stiff at first. On the plus side, it performs great in the snow. The only downside is that I'm not sure why they put Continental All Season Tires on this as an OEM tire. I've had to have them balanced no less than 4 times. This is not the ride you'd expect from a $65,000 car.

    Congratulations on finishing your Audi A6 lease! I was in a similar situation and was planning to stick with Audi, until I test drove the Jaguar XF. I was blown away by the XF S AWD's steering feel, handling, and responsiveness, which far exceeded the Audi and BMW 5 series. If you're someone who values the joy of driving, I highly recommend checking out the XF. The interior is elegantly simple and uncluttered, reminiscent of a comfortable driver's cockpit. It has all the necessary safety features like lane departure, blind spot warning, LED headlights, and parking aides. While Audi, BMW, and Mercedes may offer more sophisticated and shiny interiors, the XF's driving experience is truly unmatched. The XF S AWD may come with a higher price tag, but by picking the right color combination with a custom wheel appearance package and forgoing some of the optional packages, I was able to get a great deal. Some dealers are willing to negotiate, especially towards the end of the month. Most dealers are discounting them 3-4K, but with patience and good timing, you could potentially double those savings. Lastly, the XF S AWD comes with a 5 year, 60K mile warranty with prepaid maintenance, which is something that Audi and Mercedes don't offer and BMW only offers for 1 year and 10K less. I hope this helps you make an informed decision!
