In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
Overheating engine. Was driving and all of a sudden with no warning the temperature gauge went up to hot and engine was overheating. I was told by the dealer that my engine is gone and it was going to cost me $5,000 just to break the engine down and just diagnosed the problem.
-
after 4 and a half years I started obbserving a strange exhaust noise when accelerating which a shirt while later became accompanied by a shuddering/shaking of the engine when accelerating

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.
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
