Jaguar Xk problems
The Jaguar XK is a two-door 2+2 grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 1996–2012 and by Jaguar Land Rover from 2013–2014 in hatchback coupé and convertible body styles, across two generations. The XK was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1996 and was discontinued in July 2014.
The first generation was marketed as the XK8, replacing the XJS and was Jaguar's first 8-cylinder model since the Daimler 250, introducing the all-new Jaguar AJ-V8 engine. The XK8 shared its platform with the Aston Martin DB7 which was itself based on the stillborn XJ41/42 project built on a modified XJ-S chassis conceived in the mid-1980s. The second generation of the XK, noted for its aluminium monocoque chassis and construction, was launched in 2006 for the 2007 model year. The XKR performance variant was introduced in both of the generations with the second generation also offering a more powerful XKR-S variant.
XK8/XKR (1996–2006)
The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJS designed by then Jaguar design director Geoff Lawson. It was available in two body styles – a two-door coupé and two-door convertible with both variations featuring 2+2 seating. The car was the first in the Jaguar line-up to use Jaguar's newly developed 32-valve V8 engine – the AJ-V8 which had a displacement of 4.0 litres.
The XK8 was joined by a more powerful XKR in 1998. The XKR featured a supercharged variation of the V8 engine rated at 276 kW (375 PS; 370 hp). The engine was shared with the XJR but featured a new intercooler and a two-piece driveshaft. The supercharger was manufactured by Eaton and displaced at 2.0 litres. It generated 11.9 pounds of boost pressure to contribute to the higher power output. Visual differences from the XK8 included a rear spoiler, mesh front grille and hood louvres on the bonnet for improved airflow to the engine.
The XK8 came standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, while 18-inch (standard on the XKR), 19-inch, and 20-inch wheels were available for the XK8 and XKR at an additional cost. Jaguar's Adaptive Cruise Control is an optional feature available on both models. Both models came with all-leather interior, burl walnut trim, and side airbags. Two interior configurations were offered, the sport configuration was aimed at young buyers and had a leather interior with cloth seats while the classic trim featured more amenities.
The XK range received a mechanical update in 2002 with the engines in both the XK8 and XKR models being enlarged to 4.2 litres and gaining more power, the front headlamps were also updated by the addition of a clear lens. Further changes included new exterior colours and wheels along with different badging. The models were revised again in spring 2004 and notable changes included new wheel designs, bigger front and rear spoilers and a redesigned grille.
Initially, the ZF 5HP24 five-speed automatic transmission was coupled to the conventionally aspirated 4.0-litre model and a Mercedes W5A580 five-speed transmission to the supercharged version, but in 2002 the new ZF 6HP26 six-speed automatic transmission was fitted in both versions of the 4.2-litre model.

Common Jaguar Xk problems
Based on complaints from owners of Jaguar XK cars, several common problems have been reported:
- Convertible Top Issues: Owners have faced problems with the convertible top failing to open. Troubleshooting steps can be taken to resolve the issue, but in some cases, the expertise of a trained mechanic may be necessary.
- Touchscreen Problems: Certain Jaguars have encountered issues with the touchscreen feature not functioning correctly, which could be attributed to colder weather or low battery voltage.
- Cabin Temperature Inconsistency: Some XK/XKR drivers have reported that the AC units in their vehicles adjust themselves, causing the interior cabin to become warmer than desired.
- Moisture in Headlights: Moisture entering the headlights of Jaguars has been a frustrating problem for some owners, likely due to a faulty seal.
These problems highlight various technical difficulties that Jaguar XK cars may face, ranging from starting issues to electronic malfunctions and climate control inconsistencies. Owners experiencing these issues are advised to seek professional assistance to diagnose and address the specific problem effectively.
Are Jaguar XKS reliable?
While the Jaguar XK is considered a reliable luxury coupe as a whole, some years are simply less reliable than others. So for today's post, we highlight the Jaguar XK years to avoid if you're looking to buy a used model.
What is the best year Jaguar XK to buy?
There are many excellent years available for the Jaguar XK. We recommend sticking with 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014 options for maximum value. We hope this information comes in handy!
Is a used Jaguar XK a good buy?
The Jaguar XK makes for a great used car, with its lightweight, bonded and riveted aluminium monocoque clothed in aluminium body panels, and a choice of a reliable 4.2 or 5.0-litre V8 under its long bonnet – supercharged in R versions. And with prices starting at just £6000, it's also a great bargain.
How long will a Jaguar XK 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.

Jaguar Xk 2007
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-11
- Date Complaint: 2024-01-15
- Crash: 1
- VIN: SAJWA44B775
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: On at least 3 occasions, my vehicle had unintended acceleration and applying brakes did not stop the car. I put it in park to stop. I took it to the Foreign performance (mechanic shop) on 11-29-23 after the first time and they said they fixed it. It occurred again on 12-8-23. I again threw it into park. I called the shop on 12-11-23 and they agreed to see it on 12-12-23. I hit a car on 12-11-23 around 11:45 am coming out of my driveway. I had my car towed to mechanic. The other car did not need to be towed. On 12-20-23, Foreign Performance wrote: "Vehicle is driving normally at this time. Checked for any set faults, none stored. Tested the function of the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. Both function normally. There are no bulletin issues by the manufacturer for this problem related to this vehicle. Called the dealership to ask what they are doing to fix this problem with uncontrolled acceleration. They claim to never heard of such a problem and that they no longer work on these vehicles. The problem is well documented nationally and has existed since the vehicle was first produced. Bottom line is that the manufacturer and dealerships have washed their hands on the vehicle. The only advise to give would be to replace the accelerator pedal assembly, the throttle body and the engine control module all together and then program the engine control module to the highest level that is available. Vehicle should not be driven by the customer." Foreign Performance said they would not guarantee my vehicle would never do this again after their recommended repairs of $4027.91. It was Christmas, I was leaving on a planned vacation for two weeks and it was complicated so the vehicle is still at Foreign Performance and no work has been done so all components are available for inspection. No warning lights. Police and State Farm insurance have been involved. Needs body work as well after MVA--estimate of $1100 per state farm.
Jaguar Xk 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2023-04-05
- Date Complaint: 2023-04-18
- VIN: SAJWA4FB4FL
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: My wife parked the car in the garage and we noticed a puddle of gas below the car. After determining that we had a real issue we had it towed to an independent service provider. After inspection by the mechanic he noted that the plastic retainer clip on the fuel pump flange (Jaguar Part C2P24406) was broken allowing the fuel line to come out of the fuel pump/filter flange (see photo) and just pumped gas onto the cars undercarriage and ground. Luckily, this must have happened right before she came home. In the initial diagnosis of the problem by me I ended up starting the car in the garage and it just pumped about a gallon of gas onto the garage floor. By the way, just opening the driver's door activates the fuel pump -- so without even starting the car it would pump gas onto the car/garage floor. I was extremely worried that there would be a fire or explosion (possibly by the hot water heater in the garage igniting the fumes). After the mechanic informed me of the problem, I searched and noted that the 2010/11 Jaguar XF had a very similar (if not exact) problem and was recalled for this issue. There were no indicator lights/warnings of this problem occurring. I did not file an insurance claim or have anyone else look at the problem. I initially called the local Tucson Jaguar dealer to have it service there (that would be my preference), but the dealer informed me that it would be a month before they could even look at. Thus, I had it towed to a independent service provider. I feel this was a very dangerous failure -- gas pouring out onto the car and ground near the exhaust -- and that we were very lucky to avoid a catastrophic fire or explosion. I feel the issue is the same or related to the 2010/11 recall of the Jaguar XF. I have attached pictures of the defective fuel pump flange taken off my car and a picture of what it should look like. I also added the mechanics invoice for the repair work.

- Summary: PARKED IN THE GARAGE, SOMETIME FOR A FEW DAYS OR THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR WILL NOT START ON OCCASIONS. NO SLOW STARTING OR CLICKING OF A BAD BATTERY, JUST A HUMMING THEN NOTHING. NO REASON FOR THE FAILURE. DOESN'T ACT LIKE A LOW BATTERY. I CHARGED THE BATTERY, AND JUMPED IT WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I WOULD GO INSIDE AND RETURNED IN 30 MINUTES OR SO,TRY AGAIN; SOMETIME IT WOULD START. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES, IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, OF THE CAR NOT STARTING I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY; SAME THING. I DO NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, OTHER THAN WAIT A BIT AND TRY AGAIN. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OFTEN. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THERE CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND NOTHING. IT JUST STARTS WITHOUT ANY SERVICE, AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOPS AND DEALERSHIPS COULDN'T FIND WHAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL TO START OCCASIONALLY. I NOTICED THAT IF IT WON'T START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I GO AWAY FOR A WHILE AND TRY AGAIN. FOR UNKNOWN REASONS THE CAR WILL START; SOMETIME ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND COULD BE COSTLY FOR THOSE NOT PATIENT ENOUGH TO TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN.

I love my 2011 xkr! It's such a fantastic car - a great grand tourer with plenty of room for two passengers and even a back seat to put a few things on. The supercharged engine is incredibly strong, fast, and responsive. I'm having a hard time thinking of a car that could replace it, so I plan on driving it for as long as possible.
