What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
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.
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.
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.
