To the best of my ability id like to explain why my car does not operate . i have taken my car to two jaguar dealership and have talked to Rocco' s European car repair shop as well and the all say that what is defective with my car is the central junction box. When I asked them all as to why this does not function they all said its a known problem with the car specifically due to "water ingress" leaking from the windshield wiper pump and on to the underside of the Central junction box and my wires are corroded and cause electrical failure as the say water and electricity are not a safe combination. with this malfunction my car no longer starts . Yes of course my car is available for inspection and it has been confirmed by both Hennessey Jaguar of Atlanta and Jaguar south Atlanta both have provided documentation as to the necessity to change the central junction box and both dealership's are not privately owned and not connected to one another yet they state the same reason as to why my car will not function. Yes my 2013 jaguar is a dangerous vehicle to drive as the car doors spontaneously opened and closed on their own the interior lights turned on and off and some other malfunctions engaged even when not engaged to do so i believe the breaking system also flashed traction control turns on even though i didn't ask it to be turned on. i am afraid that my car with water in the junction box could lead to an electrical fire as told to me by numerous mechanics Yes my car was inspected by both dealerships in Atlanta and both diagnosed the problem and being the "CJB." The symptoms initially started with my doors mysteriously locking and unlocking and then other electrical problems occurred after that. These symptoms first appeared in 2021 and there were messages that flashed on the dash message especially one that said see owners handbook i may not be sure of the wording but that's essentially the message . this is my best assessment of the problems.

The car employs a start/stop system to shut the engine when stopped. When it restarts the engine, the idle speed drops to about 400 RPM (half normal idle) and surges when it recovers. It has also stalled several times. I've asked the dealership to fix this, but when at the dealer, the system would not shut the engine so they have not verified the issue. The first safety issue happens if the driver is not expecting the surge resulting in sudden acceleration. The second issue happened when the car stalled at an intersection with other cars trying to get by. This has happened many times since I purchased the car in 2015. The stop/start function stopped working for a period of time when the primary battery was older and weak. Since replacing the batter, this is happening more frequently now. I did find this issue on KBB's website, but not on yours https://www.kbb.com/jaguar/xf/2013/recall/

LOUD POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY LOW COOLANT MESSAGE FLASHING AND WHITE SMOKE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT WHILE DRIVING UNTIL VEHICLE REFUSED TO GO AS I TRIED TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION THE VEHICLE BECAME DISABLED, AND CAUSED A SINGLE VEHICLE CRASH, AND THE BUMPER AND DRIVER HEAD LIGHT WHICH I JUST PAID TO REPAIR IS NO GOOD AS A RESULT, AND POLICE HAD TO USE THEIR PATROL CARS IN ORDER TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION (TOOK ABOUT 15 MINS FOR RESPONSE) HAD TO WAIT 5AND A HALF HOURS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME, VEHICLE DOES NOT RE START. VEHICLE HAD 7 RECALLS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED INCLUDING JAGUAR CAC HOSE REPAIRATION. VEHICLE DOES NOT CURRENTLY FALL UNDER RECALL DUE TO PREVIOUS REPAIR. THE REPAIR FOR THIS RECALL ISSUED BACK IN 2014 FAILED. JAGUAR DEALERSHIP UNHELP FUL. CAR HAS BEEN PARKED OVER A MONTH AND A HALF NOW. HAVENT HAD A VEHICLE SINCE. UNDER THE HOOD YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE A HOSE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO ATTACH TO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT ATTACHED. CANNOT VISIBLY SEE WHERE IT IS SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO ATTACH TO

There have been constant issues with this vehicle. The car has a strong odor of gasoline when driven. No alarms or indicators tells me that there is a problem. There have been safety recalls on this particular model that have the exact same issues but when checked my vin number is not listed. This needs to be investigated because I believe that this is an continuance of the same issues that has affected the 2013 XF Jaguars.

IT IS VERY ALARMING TO SEE THAT OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF YEARS MY VEHICLES DASHBOARD IS SEPARATING ITSELF FROM THE METAL FRONT AIR CONDITIONING VENT PIECE THIS IS HAPPENING FOR NO APPARENT REASON ON MY JAGUAR XF

I LATELY NOTICED YOUR JAGUAR RECALL FOR MODELS XF OF 2013. IT CONCERNS FUEL PUMP IMMEDIATE SHUTOFF WHEN THERE IS EXCESS FUEL PUMP AMPERAGE AND A FUSE TRIPS TO SHUT OFF THE FUEL PUMP. IT CANNOT BE RESET UNTIL THE FUSE COOLS DOWN, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES IS REPORTED. MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER IS APPARENTLY OVER THE SPECIFIED COVEERGE PERIOD SO #15V091000 RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2013 CAR. AT THE TIME IN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS I FOUND NONE. MY EVENT: THIS PAST SUMMER I WAS DRIVING TO SUDBURY, MA AT 10 P.M. MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE FULL SPEED AND MORE NARROW CURVING ENTRANCE TO THE MASS PIKE {FROM ROUTE 91 IN CONNECTICUT}! I WAS STUCK THERE FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR, EVERY SO OFTEN TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR; TO NO AVAIL. IT FINALLY COST ME $400 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SUDBURY JAGUAR DEALER AND LEFT OVERNIGHT FOR MORNING ACTION. SURPRISE, THE GARAGE MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. IT HAD ALWAYS STARTED BEFORE THE COSTLY INCIDENT AND HAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY EVER SINCE. BUT THERE I WAS ON A CURVE AT NIGHT WITH 60 MPH+ TRUCKS AND CARS PASSING ME EVERY FEW SECONDS! AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WAS ABOUT 25 MINUTES BEFORE A STATE PATROL TROOPER SHOWED UP WITH HELPFUL BLINKING YELLOW LIGHTS. AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND HOBBY AUTO MECHANIC THERE SEEMS LITTLE DOUBT YOUR FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUE SHOULD HAVE APPLIED TO MY 2013 JAGUAR XF. APPARENTLY MY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP WAS A COMPLETELY USELESS EXPENSE AS THE CAR HAD ONLY ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES ON IT.
