Purchased 2020 jaguar XE with under 13,000 miles on it 2 years ago now has 23,000 miles on it. Went to leave for work and my car wouldn’t start stating the transmission wasn’t in park and other messages and tried jumping it wouldn’t work. Wouldnt switch gears to put car in neutral and neutral release under hood wouldn’t fully work. because parking break was stuck on. Took 3 tow trucks to get it out. Finally got it to dealership where they stated it’s a Corroded battery line could not state how it got damaged besides “salt” & “moisture” has gotten inside and these things just happen. This does not sound like normal wear and tear for a 6 year old car with that low of miles. Especially when taken care of. Can not pinpoint exactly how moisture got inside or where in the line. States the battery line brings the power from the back of the car where the battery is to the front and the voltage isn’t getting through to start the vehicle. What if you were driving and then suddenly it gave out due to this? This sounds like a safety issue and jaguar doesn’t want to be reliable for it. I had no indication anything was wrong with it just one day it worked and then the next day it didn’t.

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 2020 Jaguar Xe verdict →
