Problem overview

Some Jaguar XF owners report experiencing issues with the engine light and airbag light, as well as problems with the car starting but immediately stalling. These issues may indicate potential engine or fuel system problems, particularly if the vehicle stalls shortly after starting. Additionally, the airbag light may illuminate due to faulty sensors, loose connections, a defective clockspring, or a malfunctioning airbag control module. Some owners have found that starting problems could be linked to necessary software updates following a service or MOT. In cases where the car has been stationary for a while and fails to start, a suggested solution is to lock and unlock the door before attempting to start the vehicle again. It is recommended that owners consult a qualified auto mechanic or Jaguar dealership for proper diagnosis and resolution of these concerns.
