2010 JAGUAR XF Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JAGUAR XF. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS PRESENT WHILE THE FUEL TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAND ROVER OF SUDBURY(83 BOSTON POST RD, SUDBURY, MA) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V187000 (FUEL SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

MY CAR IS LEAKING FUEL ON GROUND. I WAS PASSING SOMEONE AND NOTICED MY CAR WAS READING ON THE DASH LOSING PERFORMANCE. THE MECHANIC SAYING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS SAYING BUT MY VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ALSO MY DASHBOARD IS COMING UP.

THE WHEELS ON A RANGE OF JAGUAR MODELS ARE PRONE TO THE RIMS CRACKING WHERE THE TIRE BEAD SEALS TO THE INNER LIP OF THE RIM. I HAVE HAD ALL (4) 20" SELENA STYLE OEM WHEELS CRACK MULTIPLE TIMES PER RIM. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN JAGUAR FORUMS BY MANY OTHER OWNERS AND THE SAME RIM HAS SAFETY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH IT BUT FOR SOME REASON DON'T COVER THIS MODEL EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME EXACT RIM. THE ALUMINUM ALLOY REACHES ITS FATIGUE LIMIT AS EARLY AS 40K MILES OF USE. ONCE CRACKS OCCUR, THE RIM WILL CONTINUE TO CRACK IN NEW LOCATIONS WITHOUT REQUIRING IMPACTING A POTHOLE OR OTHER OBSTRUCTION AS IS EVIDENT THAT NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO ANY OF THE TIRES DURING A RIM CRACK EVENT SUCH AS BUBBLES OR SIDEWALL DAMAGE. THE OWNER IS LEFT WITH ONLY ONE SOLUTION, BUY NEW OEM WHEELS AND HOPE TO SELL THE CAR BEFORE THE RIMS AGAIN REACH THEIR FATIGUE LIFE LIMIT. THIS MAY EITHER BE A POOR CHOICE OF ALLOY, MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR DESIGN DEFECT SUCH AS STRUCTURAL DESIGN OR TOO THIN OF A WALL THICKNESS OF THE RIM. THE 20" SELENA STYLE OEM WHEELS APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED THE MOST BY THE ISSUE OF RANDOM RIM CRACKING. THIS IS UNRELATED TO THE CRACKING AROUND THE WHEEL STUD DUE TO IMPROPER LUG NUT TORQUE. THE REAR WHEELS (9.5" WIDE) START CRACKING FIRST AROUND 50K MILES FOLLOWED LATER BY THE FRONT WHEELS (8.5" WIDE). I HAVE EXPERIENCED FLAT TIRES DUE TO THE RIMS CRACKING ABOUT 10 TIMES IN TOTAL. I HAVE WORN OUT TWO SPARE TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CRACKS WILL MANIFEST AS A SLOW LEAK AND WILL PROGRESS TO A FASTER LEAK AS THE CRACK PROPAGATES FURTHER. WELDING THE CRACK IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE REPAIR OPTION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED.

TAKATA RECALL.DASH BOARD IS COMEING APART DUE TO BUBBLING CAR IS IN GARAGE YEAR ROUND. 2010 XF JAGUAR.

I PURCHASED MY JAGUAR USED AND NOTICED A FUEL SMELL AFTER DRIVING IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE RAIL WAS REPLACED, I CONTINUED TO SMELL GAS AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER AREA OF MY CAR WHEN IT'S SITTING STATIONARY, AFTER BEING DRIVEN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED IT'S DUE TO A FAULTY (PT# C2Z10550) FUEL TANK OUTLET FLANGE WHICH IS A KNOWN DEFECT/RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (J059), HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY VEHICLE AS IT WASN'T MANUFACTURED WHERE THE VEHICLE ISSUE ORIGINATED. ALL RESOURCES I HAVE LOCATED SUGGEST MOST OF THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED IN BROMWICH UK, BUT NOT ALL. I'M SURE MY ISSUE IS RELATED BECAUSE IT EXACTLY MATCHES THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND I NEED HELP GETTING THIS FAULTY PART AND LABOR COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALREADY PAID THOUSANDS ON THE FUEL RAIL REPLACEMENT WHICH MUST NOT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH, SINCE THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY. THIS IS A FIRE RISK AND SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED.
