NHTSA Complaint #11407193 — 2017 JAGUAR F-PACE

MY WIFE WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. ONCE COMPLETING THE TURN ONTO A 35MPH ROAD SHE HEARD WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS A "POP" AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO A "RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE" MODE. SHE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED ME. I THEN CALLED JAGUAR OF PORTLAND AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. HE SAID TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. IF THE "RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE" ICON IS GONE THAN GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT HOME. MY WIFE DID EXACTLY THAT AND THE ICON WAS GONE SO SHE PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN. SHE DROVE ABOUT 2,000 FT. WHEN SHE SAID SHE NOTICED SOME WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST SO SHE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AGAIN. I THEN CONTACTED JAGUAR ROADSIDE AND THEY PICKED THE CAR UP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TURBO HAD GONE OUT AND THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO NEED REPLACED. ALL OF THIS AFTER ONLY A WEEK TO A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER JAGUAR PERFORMED A FULL MAINTENANCE/SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED A THERMOSTAT. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH IT'S BEEN FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE, AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE, ARE HAVING ENGINES REPLACED.
