The contact owns a 2011 Jaguar XF. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would intermittently indicate that the fuel tank was empty while there was fuel in the tank. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the gas station and refueling, the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was full; however, two days later, the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was empty. The contact did not refuel and continued to drive the vehicle. The fuel gauge later indicated that there was 3/4 tank of gasoline left. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank, the assembly sender, the flange, the gasket, and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact became aware that the manufacturer had issued a Technical Service Bulletin Number: JTB0001NAS1 regarding the fuel gauge failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

I lately noticed your jaguar recall for models xf of 2013. It concerns fuel pump immediate shutoff when there is excess fuel pump amperage and a fuse trips to shut off the fuel pump. It cannot be reset until the fuse cools down, at least 20 minutes is reported. My car's VIN number is apparently over the specified coveerge period so #15v091000 recall does not apply to my 2013 car. At the time in looking for answers I found none. My event: this past summer I was driving to sudbury, ma at 10 p.m. My engine suddenly stopped on the full speed and more narrow curving entrance to the mass pike {from route 91 in connecticut}! I was stuck there for well over an hour, every so often trying to restart the car; to no avail. It finally cost me $400 to have the vehicle towed to the sudbury jaguar dealer and left overnight for morning action. Surprise, the garage mechanic the next morning turned the key and the car started immediately. It had always started before the costly incident and has started immediately ever since. But there I was on a curve at night with 60 MPH+ trucks and cars passing me every few seconds! An extremely dangerous situation. It was about 25 minutes before a state patrol trooper showed up with helpful blinking yellow lights. As a mechanical engineer and hobby auto mechanic there seems little doubt your fuel pump recall issue should have applied to my 2013 jaguar xf. Apparently my replacing the fuel pump was a completely useless expense as the car had only roughly 50,000 miles on it.

Vehicle subject to apparent fuel starvation. Engine cuts out and cannot be restarted. Sometimes when stationary and sometimes when moving. After a period of time it spontaneously restarts, typically next day. Aaa towed and replaced the fuel pump with oem part, but it does not help. I can provide receipt if needed. Appears to be very similar symptoms to the 2010 and 2013 jaguar xf recalls, but jaguar indicates that my VIN is not covered and I should contact the dealer at my own expense. Persistent problem...dangerous and not fair! This happened 4 times so far, most recently yesterday. Car has apx. 56k miles on it.

When I purchased the vehicle from van buick/gmc in scottsdale, arizona they assured that they repaired the vehicle, its recalls, and windshield. Upon leaving the dealership, a couple of weeks later, the service engine light comes on and the codes I received from autozone reflect airbag and fuel delivery system errors. Although the airbag light is not on inside of the cabin, the dashboard is starting to lift on the passenger side where the airbag is. Also the rear seat child seat anchors do not exist. They are not present in the vehicle and I have 2 small children I transport daily. Almost daily, the engine will stall or lag and I can hear whining coming from the rear passenger back seat where the fuel pump is. I'm afraid that the smell of gasoline and that sound means I have a faulty fuel pump. It stalls when running and when sitting idle. It's worse at an idle. It stalls or stutters daily. I'm afraid these 3 things which I've seen on recall lists related to this type of car were severely overlooked and are a danger to myself and my children.

Vehicle died while driving and will not turn over. This happened a few times before. My mechanic tells me that it is the fuel pump and that they were able to start the car by banging under the car near the fuel pump location. Jaguar has a recall on the fuel pump relay for my car year and engine, but the jaguar national headquarters says that it doesn't apply to my vehicle. Seems like a similar problem that should be covered by them.

The in-tank electric fuel pump may not be correctly activated as the fuel pump relay is not energized following a vehicle startup cycle.an inadequate supply of fuel to the engine could result. Fuel starvation to the engine leads to engine stumble followed by engine cutout with minimal warning and could potentially cause a crash, I was in motion doing 65 MPH on a freeway and the car stop with no warning . I had to tow it to my house. A week later the car started again but the mechanic advise me to replace the fuel pump based on the recall.
