   I was driving my 2012 Jaguar XF on Highway 75 my car began to go from drive to neutral and changing gears on his own and I almost got hit by a semi-truck with the vehicle slowing down eventually I made it home with the vehicle and put it in park and never came out park again, the gear box had locked up that I was told by a local Jaguar repair shop. I could have lost my life that day with that car doing this and someone else can lose their life if this happen to them if you all don't make Jaguar fixed this problem, if it already hasn't happen to someone. I reported this problem to Jaguar today and they sound like they weren't interested in what I was telling them. They said they would open and case and they will close it. Do that make sense to you to open a case and close it?

    COOLANT LEAK CAUSED BY BAD PLASTIC PARTS, ESPECIALLY THE CROSSOVER PIPE WHICH WAS MADE AS A WELDED TOGETHER PIECE. LUCKILY, I HAD A WARNING THAT MY COOLANT WAS LOW AND CONTINUED TO FILL THE COOLANT UP TILL I COULD BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE WATER PUMP AND PLASTIC PARTS AS RECOMMENDED BY OTHER OWNERS.

    I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER CHECKING UNDER THE CAR, THE MECHANICS REALIZED THAT THE COOLANT TUBING WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND BROKE. THEY STATED THAT IF I DROVE THE CAR, I WOULD BE IN DANGER OF THE CAR SMOKING AND MAYBE CATCHING FIRE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE COOLANT. I WAS INFORMED THE JAGUAR HAS CHANGED THEIR ENGINEERING OF THIS RISK DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND REPAIRS. I ALSO HAVE A 2012 XF AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITHIN THE SAME WEEK WHICH IS COSTING ME $2200 TO REPLACE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE COOLANT ISSUES RESULTS IS SMOKING AN POTENTIAL FIRE OF THE ENGINE.

    IN 2012 JAGUAR HAD A RECALL ON SOME OF THEIR FX MODEL CARS DUE TO FAULTY FUEL TANK FLANGE ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE THE CARS TO CATCH FIRE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # WAS 12V521000, THE RECALL # WAS: J027 & THE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED WAS 4,195. IN THE DOCUMENT I'VE ENCLOSED, YOU'LL SEE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE OIL LEAK AND CRACKED FUEL TANK FLANGE THAT OTHER CARS WERE RECALLED FOR IN 2012. I INITIALLY NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND CLOSING THE GARAGE DOOR ABOUT 1 WEEKS AGO. MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR ALSO COMPLAINED THAT SHE SMELLED THE GAS FUMES IN HER HOUSE LAST WEEK, BUT NOTICED THAT THEY WENT AWAY AFTER I REMOVED MY CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND PARKED IT OUTSIDE. I CHECKED JAGUAR'S WEBSITE AND ASKED MY JAGUAR SERVICE ADVISOR IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I'D PREVIOUSLY READ ABOUT THE FUEL TANK FLANGE RECALL, BUT BOTH SOURCES DID NOT CONFIRM A RECALL ON MY CAR. I CALLED JAGUAR THIS MORNING WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR MY CAR TO BE SERVICED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC & IT WAS INDEED FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I HAD FIXED TODAY. I'M CONCERNED THAT I WAS DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT JAGUAR HAS KNOWN TO HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD'VE RESULTED IN MY CAR CATCHING FIRE, YET MINE AND OTHER JAGUARS WHO MAY HAVE HAD OR MAY HAVE THE ISSUE ARE STILL ON THE STREETS. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE MATTER, I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN INTERVENE WITH THIS SERIOUS SITUATION.

    TPMS FAILURE. THIS WARNING SUDDENLY APPEARED. CONTACTED JAGUAR AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY ARE HEARING MORE AND MORE ABOUT THEM, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO FIX. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I GO TO A TIRE SHOP AND HAVE THEM SCAN THE SENSORS, WHICH I DID. THEY SCANNED ALL FOUR SENSORS AND THEY SCANNED AS FINE, HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT THE SENSOR SUDDENLY STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT GET THIS FIXED AND NOT SURE OF WHAT IS GOING O. JAGUAR REFUSES TO LISTEN TO THE ISSUE.

    IT STARTED OFF AS A SMALL COOLANT LEAK BUT AFTER SPOTTING COOLANT ON THE OVERFLOW HOSE, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC HOSE. REPLACING THAT HOSE DIDN'T STOP THE PROBLEM; COOLANT KEPT LEAKING AND I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER BOTTLE. I THEN BROUGHT MY CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO PRESSURE TESTED IT AND SAID THE WATER PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE REPLACES IT FOR $734, WE PRESSURE TEST IT, ALL SEEMS GOOD. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I START LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF COOLANT AGAIN SO I PURCHASE A NEW BOTTLE OF COOLANT JUST TO GET HOME. THAT NIGHT I RESEARCH 2012 JAGUAR WATER PUMP ISSUES AND SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY KNOW MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND USE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AFFECTING LOTS OF OWNERS. THE WATER PUMP FAILS REGULARLY AND THE PLASTIC CROSSOVER PIPE JUST BURSTS AT THE SEEMS. I HAVE A FAMILY FRIEND PURCHASE AND REPLACE THIS, ANOTHER $502. AFTER ANOTHER COUPLE DAYS I SMELL COOLANT YET AGAIN AND NOTICE A SMALL DRIP. THIS TIME IT'S THE WATER PUMP BLEEDER HOSE. I PURCHASE THE NEW UPDATED PART WHICH IS NOW 2 PARTS INSTEAD OF ONE AND SPEND ANOTHER $419 TO REPLACE IT. NOW THIS ALL IS HAPPENING AT THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIME EVER. THIS ISSUE STARTED WHILE MY WIFE WAS 8+ MONTHS PREGNANT. THE UNCERTAINTY OF WHEN THE CAR WOULD LEAK OR GOD FORBID OVERHEAT ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL HAD ME VERY NERVOUS AND UPSET. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I KNOW THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS, I FEEL THAT THE WATER PUMP AND CROSSOVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE KNOWN FLAWS AND ALMOST CERTAIN FAILURE. AT THE VERY LEAST I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AS AN OWNER THAT THIS HAPPENS TO THE CAR AS I AM SURE YOU WERE AWARE OF ALL THE FIXES BEING DONE AT RETAILERS AND BY THE MULTIPLE PRODUCT UPGRADES. I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT VIN #S WERE IN FACT RECALLED.
