I was almost hit by a car in parking lot and other driver stated that I didn't have my directional on. This has happened on the highway stop lights which accounts for people honking at me when crossing roadway during a turn onto another road. I checked and found the light wasn't working for turn signal. I then contacted dealer to replace what I'm told is the entire headlight unit. Apprently they indicated an issue over the years with known DRL blowing out and the turning signal on headlight doesn't work . I researched and found this was an issue with people over the 2017-2019 years. To make it worse its a 5k repair job so no wonder a recall was never done by JLR motors.

Exterior lighting: turn signal
- What is wrong
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles equipped with Highline headlamps.

The drivers side DRL has a "J" Blade that its lit while driving day or night (DRL) This "J" Blade on the driver's side is dim, and it effects the turn signal causing in my and several thousand owners with the same issue a very safety issue. JLR Jaguar Land Rover North America will NOT address this safety issue and refuses to correct the problem. To replace the light assembly will cost in excess of $6,000.00 This is again, a safety issue and its is a manufacturer defect There are several thousand folks out there with this F-Type Jaguar DRL Failure.

My Car on Fire at the gas station
Rear differential leaks and failure leading to loss of vehicle control.
The car sometimes has a hard time to start engine. I have to pump the gas pedal numerous times quickly to finally get the car to start. Other times the car starts normally . Also sometimes when the engine is on and in the park position ; the engine may turn off. The auto off button has been eliminated from the problem because I turn that off; so this issue should not be associated with that component . Perhaps it’s a failing fuel pump or perhaps the valves get stuck flooding the carb making it too lean. I still have not figured out the issue but I am concerned driving the car since sometimes I won’t start .
There are two holes in the bottom of the truck (in the exhaust area) that could leak exhaust into the occupant compartment.
