What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My car didn't stop when I was parking. I went over the sidewalk and I hit the tree on the driver side passenger door. The tree and sidewalk slowed me down enough where I missed the head on collision with the building in front of me. I took pictures and reported it to my insurance.
The contact stated that while driving forward into a parking space and depressing the brake pedal to stop, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration causing the vehicle to drive forward and crash into the rear of a second parked vehicle.
My air bags never deployed. The other drivers did yet mine did not, no warnings from drive package or adaptive dynamics showed. Car is totaled, not one airbag deployed.
Power steering to the vehicle was locked up with dashboard warning. Jaguar Monroeville has confirmed need for new steering rack, tie rods, etc costing $8900 including labor. There were no warnings prior to failure as the issue arose when driving in the rain.
The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message that the engine was overheating was displayed and the engine started overheating. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact allowed the engine to cool down.
One seatbelt has been sticking the front passenger seatbelt for quite some time since I purchased the vehicle recently a few days ago the drivers seatbelt started sticking, and I actually got trapped in the seatbelt in the car and could not get out for quite some time I eventually had to expand the seatbelt and crawl…
Check Engine light POO14 , indicates shake , stall and loss of power. Appointment is scheduled with Jaguar, this is a known problem and recall however my specific model has no yet been placed on recall , definitely a safety problem that shall not be noticed only until an accident occurs to me myself or others.
A mechanic informed me my car is making a sound as if the power steering is about to go, which will cause engine failure. After researching, it was brought to my attention this has happened to thousands of f pace owners. I am the only owner of my car which was purchased in April 2019, with 0 miles on it.
