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.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2018 Jaguar F-type Convertible verdict →
