Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

I brought my car used with warranty and everything was fine even though I barely drove the car because I had another car that I used to commute so I really didn’t drive the car often. Within a week I noticed a loud sound but I didn’t think anything of it because it was a diesel engine. Within a year I was on the freeway and my car just stopped in mid traffic which a semi diesel truck almost hit me due to engine failure. My car just stopped and my check engine light did not…

The front drivers side headlamp malfunctioned after condensation entered the lamp via rain and then humidity. The issue first started April 12, 2026. I was leaving to go on a 260 miles drive when I pulled out of the drive way and I started getting a flickering "Dipped Beam Fault". It started flickering on and off as I was picking up speed to merge onto the interstate. I drove all those miles with my left thumb on the Menu OK button to clear it. Then it would come back on…

Recurrent coolant leak. Known issue with Jaguar. Coolant system is known to have many weak spots due to plastic tubing and weak coupling joints. Had a repair costing $1500 dollars in 2022 just out of warranty. Now experiencing yet another coolant leak. Other owners have also had multiple leaks. I think Jaguar should be held accountable for a manufacturer defect.

60,000 miles, the head gasket blew in traffic. Jaguar dealer quotes $35,000 to replace engine. This is not acceptable for a car of this price. I have been victimized by defective parts in our 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. These parts and repairs and associated costs should have been covered under warranty and recall. These catastrophic failures/repairs were due to known defective parts (clam shell "y" pipe, and outlet pipes). JLR Service Departments have been aware of these defects as…

My 2017 Jaguar F-Pace S (3.0L supercharged V6) experienced a sudden water-pump failure that led to overheating, loss of oil pressure, timing-chain slack, and complete engine failure. The failure began with the water pump, which caused coolant loss and intermittent overheating that was not accurately reflected on the dashboard temperature gauge. As the water pump deteriorated, the hydraulic timing-chain tensioners lost pressure, allowing the chain to slacken and eventually…
