Electrical System 32% 11 Read
2016 F-TYPE

I have been encountering a persistent issue with the engine, which exhibits symptoms of underperformance, occasionally necessitating a complete stop. Additionally, the ABS warning light activates intermittently without providing any diagnostic codes before subsequently disappearing. A recent diagnostic check identified several minor concerns. I've also observed a degradation in the vehicle's handling characteristics, paired with a "Stability Control No Longer Available" warning message. I have ruled out a fuse-related issue, as all fuses have been assessed and found to be functional. Furthermore, my vehicle seems subject to additional recall considerations. Reports of stability control failures have emerged in various Jaguar models, including the F-Type, typically attributable to sensor failures or malfunctions within the electronic control module. Common culprits for these stability control issues include faulty wheel speed sensors or problems with the ABS control module. Such malfunctions frequently trigger warning lights, suggesting compromised efficiency in the stability control system and its associated subsystems. This instability resulted in me temporarily losing control of the vehicle, culminating in a 180-degree spin and subsequent collision. Reports online: AI Overview Reports of stability control system failures in certain Jaguar models, including the F-Type, stemming from faulty wheel speed sensors or ABS control module issues, could potentially increase the risk of an accident.  Here's why: Compromised Stability and Traction: The stability control system (DSC in Jaguar) helps maintain vehicle stability by detecting and mitigating loss of traction or skidding by adjusting engine power and applying brakes to individual wheels. When it malfunctions, you may experience difficulty maintaining control, especially during sharp turns, evasive maneuvers, or on slippery surfaces, potentially leading to skidding and loss of control.

2020 F-TYPE

What component or system failed, and is it available for inspection upon request? The following component failures occurred in my 2020 Jaguar F-PACE (VIN [XXX] ): Electrical System – Driver-side wiring harness short circuits near the footwell, disabling door locks/window controls. Cooling System – Bleed pipe and expansion tank coolant leaks triggering low-fluid warnings. Battery System – Energy control module failure causing recurrent low-battery alerts. Braking System – Front/rear linings worn to 3mm/2mm, below SAE J866 safety thresholds. The vehicle remains available for NHTSA inspection at your request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Electrical: Exposed wiring poses fire hazards (violating FMVSS 305), while inoperative door controls risk occupant entrapment (FMVSS 208). Brakes: Worn linings impair stopping distances (FMVSS 135), increasing collision risks. Cooling: Repeated coolant loss risks sudden engine overheating and highway breakdowns. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Jaguar-certified technicians at authorized dealerships confirmed the electrical, cooling, and battery failures during repairs in October-November 2024. The brake wear was documented but deemed "within tolerance" despite sub-spec measurements. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Only Jaguar’s manufacturer-authorized dealers inspected the vehicle. No police, insurance, or third-party assessments occurred. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the issues were preceded by multiple warning messages, including "low battery charge" warnings related to the electrical system, a low coolant warning due to the cooling system failure, and an SOS system limited notification.

Vehicle delivered to customer with battery not secure (this battery is located in the trunk, behind occupants)

2016 F-TYPE

Symptoms of failure was present prior to complete failure. At highway speed, vehicle sometimes resisted steering input. At 20-30mph, steering wanders side to side and fights my steering inputs. When complete failure occurred, steering became difficult at low speed, parking situations. No warning or error message on dash. Vehicle was towed to dealer where they determined the electric motor on the steering rack suffered an internal failure. When disconnected from power, the steering rack was smooth, albeit unassisted. When connected to power, the steering rack was stiff and difficult to turn. It was determined that the electric motor resisted steering input rather than assist. Steering racks used by a range of Jaguar Land Rover products in this period also suffered similar internal failures.

2016 F-TYPE

Rear back up camera does not work. Vehicle displays ‘Rear Camera System Fault’ message. No image on screen when reverse gear selected.

2016 F-TYPE

Following "repairs" at the dealership on cooling system, car notified me of overheating half way home while on highway. After nearly crashing and being hit in trying to pull over to stop the vehicle, i opened the hood to find the coolent lines had been shaved and repairs in other areas very poorly done. Car constantly is leaking coolant and oil. I have also replaced the battery 4 times and the car requires daily jump starting. The car paint indicated a repaint job when del8vered to me with 100 miles of it. After claiming to have realigned the tires after my fronts went bad after 5000 miles, i discovered that they had not been balanced nor aligned. I left one wheel nut lose before service on each tire and each was still lose after. Jaguar has defrauded me on multiple levels, threatened me for using a ob2 car code reader and generally committed multiple corporate crimes for which i am seeking significant action. I am based in nashville. Despite 23 trips to the dealer in 5 months, jaguar blamed all the cars problems on non existent modifications they accused me of installing without warrant and contradictory to what their own service manager new to be fact.

Driving car on street at about 45 mph. Suddenly car jerked and stalled. I immediately pulled over. Smoke came from engine compartment initially then engine caught fire. Entire front of car engulfed in flames and melted before fire department arrived.

2014 F-TYPE

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 jaguar f-type. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire underneath the hood. The fire department was notified and was able to extinguish the fire. A fire report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to a tow facility. The contact stated that an investigation was opened however, the result was inconclusive. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer was contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000. The vehicle was destroyed.

2019 F-TYPE

What happened? Starting in October 2020, my 2019 Jaguar F-Type experienced persistent electrical and fuel injector system failures affecting cylinders 1 and 5, resulting in multiple engine misfires and reduced engine performance. The vehicle’s fuel injector connectors, specifically connector C1E121A, had misaligned pins causing injector circuit faults (DTC codes P0262, P0274) and frequent misfire codes (P0301, P0305, P0300). These defects caused the vehicle to run roughly and unpredictably, creating a safety risk by compromising engine power and potentially causing loss of control, especially during startup and acceleration. Warning lights and engine fault codes were present throughout the issue. Jaguar dealerships confirmed the problem multiple times through diagnostic testing and extensive inspections, including wiring tests, fuel system checks, and control module evaluations. Despite repeated repairs, including connector reseating and injector replacements during the powertrain warranty period, the defect was never permanently fixed. The vehicle was out of service for over 6 months from August 2021 to April 2022 due to attempts to resolve the problem. After the warranty expired, the same symptoms and fault codes recurred. The dealer diagnosed that the engine must be completely replaced due to persistent injector circuit failures, with an estimated repair cost of $33,000. This ongoing defect severely affects the vehicle’s reliability and safety. The problem and its cause have been confirmed by multiple authorized dealers and Jaguar North America.

2019 F-TYPE

Vehicle: 2019 Jaguar F-Type Purchase Date: September 2018 Component/System: Engine – Fuel Injection / Powertrain Mileage at Most Recent Failure: 20,763 Description: My 2019 Jaguar F-Type has experienced recurring engine issues related to fuel injector failures, causing safety risks and rendering the vehicle inoperable. The problem began in Oct 2020 with engine misfires and a check engine light. Jaguar Buckhead diagnosed failed fuel injectors (cylinders 1 and 5) and replaced them under warranty. In Sept 2021, the issue reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to Jaguar South Atlanta, but delays and lack of urgency led me to transfer the vehicle to Jaguar Buckhead. They again replaced the injectors. Repair spanned several months. In Jan 2025, the same issue returned. Jaguar Buckhead diagnosed injector failures again (same cylinders). A second certified dealer now recommends full engine replacement at over $33,000. The vehicle has been out of service since Jan 28, 2025, and for over 360 days total since purchase. I have provided work orders, invoices, and error codes (P0301, P0305, P1316, P1000) to the manufacturer. No lasting fix has been made, and the car is still inoperable. Safety Risk: Repeated misfires and power loss while driving present serious safety risks, including sudden loss of control on highways. Confirmed by Dealer: Yes – issues diagnosed by multiple Jaguar-authorized dealerships. Inspected by Manufacturer: Yes – authorized dealers have serviced and diagnosed the issue. Warning Lamps/Symptoms: Yes – check engine lights, engine misfire warnings, rough idle, and loss of power appeared before failures.

2017 F-TYPE

On july 12,2017 my vehicle stalled and would not start after repeated tries. The vehicle was towed to a jaguar dealer where it stayed for 14 days while they tried to solve the problem. A new fuel pump driver module was installed and the dealer declared the problem fixed. The mileage on the car was 696 miles entering the dealer and 724 miles leaving. On august 3, 2017 my vehicle stalled again and would not restart after repeated tries. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer where it stayed for another 15 days. The dealer stated the problem was due to melted pins in the fuel pump driver module. The defective pins were declared repaired and the fuel pump driver module renewed. Mileage on the car was 997 miles entering the dealer and 1149 miles leaving. In the last 7 weeks, i have only driven the car about 100 miles because of my lack of confidence in it. A claim has been filed with the better business bureau.

2016 F-TYPE

Following "repairs" at the dealership on cooling system, car notified me of overheating half way home while on highway. After nearly crashing and being hit in trying to pull over to stop the vehicle, i opened the hood to find the coolent lines had been shaved and repairs in other areas very poorly done. Car constantly is leaking coolant and oil. I have also replaced the battery 4 times and the car requires daily jump starting. The car paint indicated a repaint job when del8vered to me with 100 miles of it. After claiming to have realigned the tires after my fronts went bad after 5000 miles, i discovered that they had not been balanced nor aligned. I left one wheel nut lose before service on each tire and each was still lose after. Jaguar has defrauded me on multiple levels, threatened me for using a ob2 car code reader and generally committed multiple corporate crimes for which i am seeking significant action. I am based in nashville. Despite 23 trips to the dealer in 5 months, jaguar blamed all the cars problems on non existent modifications they accused me of installing without warrant and contradictory to what their own service manager new to be fact.

2016 F-TYPE

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jaguar f-type. The contact observed that the vehicle was leaking oil without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were unknown.

2015 F-TYPE

Sudden loss of coolant while driving, without any prior warning lights. In my opinion that is unacceptable in a car with a little over 30k miles. F-Type forums all over the world would indicate this is a relatively common issue with some of the pipes under the supercharger being the suspected issue. Enough of an issue that I believe Jaguar redesigned those parts for newer model years, however there is no TSB for older cars at the moment. The current "solution" is owners updating the part themselves or having a shop/dealer replace the whole cooling system at owner's expense after there's a failure. Luckily this happened to me at low speed, but dropping all the coolant onto the road could be dangerous at highway speeds. I suppose there'd also be a risk of burns if it happened with the convertible top down and coolant came up the windshield into the car. Signed, An Automotive Engineer who's seen recalls for less

2018 F-TYPE

Rear differential leaks and failure leading to loss of vehicle control.

2016 F-TYPE

Symptoms of failure was present prior to complete failure. At highway speed, vehicle sometimes resisted steering input. At 20-30mph, steering wanders side to side and fights my steering inputs. When complete failure occurred, steering became difficult at low speed, parking situations. No warning or error message on dash. Vehicle was towed to dealer where they determined the electric motor on the steering rack suffered an internal failure. When disconnected from power, the steering rack was smooth, albeit unassisted. When connected to power, the steering rack was stiff and difficult to turn. It was determined that the electric motor resisted steering input rather than assist. Steering racks used by a range of Jaguar Land Rover products in this period also suffered similar internal failures.

2016 F-TYPE

The Rear Differential started making an odd noise. Took it to the dealer where it is now and they said it needs a new rear differential. They are blaming the tires...

2016 F-TYPE

The flywheel malfunctioned on my jaguar f-type but jaguar, even though they updated the part numbers for the flywheel and clutch, and despite the fact that any malfunction with the flywheel is going to compromise the clutch assembly as they are connected mechanically, are refusing to change the clutch and only the flywheel. The clutch/flywheel failed catastrophically. The car became harder and harder to shift and then wouldn't go into gear at all. I stopped turned the engine off. The car would not restart or go into gear without great force and then required as much force to take it out of gear.

The car sometimes has a hard time to start engine. I have to pump the gas pedal numerous times quickly to finally get the car to start. Other times the car starts normally . Also sometimes when the engine is on and in the park position ; the engine may turn off. The auto off button has been eliminated from the problem because I turn that off; so this issue should not be associated with that component . Perhaps it’s a failing fuel pump or perhaps the valves get stuck flooding the carb making it too lean. I still have not figured out the issue but I am concerned driving the car since sometimes I won’t start .

Unexpectedly, The power steering went out on my 2020 Jaguar F-Type while driving. The power steering assistance reduced light came on in my dashboard. I'm being told by Hennessy Jaguar in Atlanta that even though my car has a little over 30k miles VIN # [XXX] , it's going to need a new Power Steering Rack. The cost for this repair is going to be over 6k. This is not acceptable, and this repair or replacement should not be necessary so soon as the life expectancy is much longer than 5 years.  I am reaching out for help since being unsuccesful for Jaguar to cover this repair even though it is past the warranty period.

There is a known issue with a piece inside of the drivers side headlight assembly causing the DRL and blinker to be very dim to where it is difficult to see in the daylight. The known failure is a piece inside called the Oculator. It apparently burns and melts causing the led light to fail to travel down the plastic strip effectively causing the blinker to be too dim. Jaguar knows about the issue and has manufactured a new headlight assembly with a corrected version of this oculator piece. They refuse to correct the issue under warranty however. My question is this...is this blinker too dim now to pass the federal standard listed for brightness of these turn signals? My car, or practically any other F-type that is 2019 or above, and has 30,000 miles or more on the odometer should be able to be used for verification.
