This car had about 27, 950 miles on it! While driving the low coolant light came on. Stopped at once and checked the coolant level. I was only slightly low. Added more coolant and light went out, this was about one week ago, 3/3/2024. The next day after two miles, low coolant light. Again added more coolant. The next day after a few miles, the car smelled of oil or something unusual, a burning smell, as my wife was driving it, no warning lights this time, this happened while stopped at a stop light. Suddenly the entire front of the car was covered with smoke! My wife said she thought the car was on fire. She pulled into a parking lot and stopped the car. The smoke subsided and she called me. The car did not appear to be overheated and the temperature gauge was normal. Adding more coolant temporally solved the issue. I have taken the car into the Jaguar dealer and they immediately knew what the problem was, seems that ALL 2017 JAGUARS have this problem. An internet search verified the problem is so well know that Jaguar changed the defective parts and issued a service bulletin addressing this problem, BUT even though our car is well within the warranty mileage, the Jaguar dealers said that I would have to pay in excess of $3600 to get our car repaired! This is outrages! the car is not safe to drive and Jaguar is well aware of the problem, yet they refuse to correct it unless the customer pays for Jaguar's faulty design!!

My wife was at a stop sign and proceeded to make a left hand turn. Once completing the turn onto a 35mph road she heard what she described as a "pop" and the car immediately went into a "restricted performance" mode. She pulled over immediately and called me. I then called jaguar of portland and described what happened. He said to turn the car off and back on again. If the "restricted performance" icon is gone than go ahead and drive it home. My wife did exactly that and the icon was gone so she proceeded down the road again. She drove about 2,000 ft. When she said she noticed some white smoke coming from the exhaust so she pulled over and shut the car off again. I then contacted jaguar roadside and they picked the car up. I have been told that the turbo had gone out and that the engine was going to need replaced. All of this after only a week to a week and a half after jaguar performed a full maintenance/service on the vehicle and replaced a thermostat. Upon doing some research it's been found that a lot of people with the same vehicle, around the same mileage, are having engines replaced.
