Jaguar XF Lemon Law

A recurring supercharger failure on the AJ126 V6 engine is a substantial mechanical defect that impairs the use and value of your XF. Under the Song-Beverly Act, two unsuccessful repair attempts for the same defect during the warranty period can be sufficient grounds for a Lemon Law claim. You should keep detailed records of each failure including the date, mileage, and specific repairs performed.

Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies equally to leased and purchased vehicles in California. If your leased XF qualifies as a lemon, you are entitled to a refund of all lease payments made, your down payment or cap cost reduction, and any fees paid at lease signing. The lease contract will be terminated and the defective vehicle returned to the manufacturer at no cost to you.

A malfunctioning Quickshift gear selector that prevents you from shifting out of Park is a defect that substantially impairs the use of your vehicle and may also constitute a safety hazard if it occurs in traffic. If the dealer has attempted to repair this issue multiple times without success during the warranty period, your XF likely qualifies as a lemon under the Song-Beverly Act. Document each occurrence with time-stamped photos or video if possible.

In California, the statute of limitations for a Song-Beverly Act claim is four years from the date you knew or should have known about the defect. This typically begins when the vehicle first exhibited the problem, not when the warranty expired. However, it is advisable to pursue your claim as soon as possible while evidence is fresh and repair records are readily accessible.
