Other engine problem on the 2010 Jaguar XF
When other engine problem gets reported
Owners of the 2010 Jaguar XF report other engine problem at a median of 55,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 15,000 miles and a quarter after 95,000 miles, from 10 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 95,000 miles. It is the 6th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 5,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 105,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 97,995 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
40% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5,505 miles | 14,250 miles | 54,618 miles | 95,500 miles | 103,500 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $300–$4,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 6 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2015, at a median of 35,000 miles, and latest on the 2012 at 75,000 miles.
By volume the 2010 is the worst of them, which makes this a problem of this specific year rather than of the model as a whole.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
2010 jaguar xkr (note that your form later only allows an xf to be clicked in order to proceed so I did that). On 2-21-10 car 1/2 full of gas. Started car and drove two blocks when suddenly the engine shutoff and amber engine symbol ("engine malfunction") light came on. Able to move steering wheel a little (no power steering) and coasted to stop--doing about 30 miles per hour when the engine suddenly and without warning shut off. Waited a couple of minutes and tried to start and would not restart. Tried to start again a minute later and was able to start and drove back to home where car was then towed to dealership. Austin jag dealership said they found low fuel pressure code, but when pressure tested they found nothing and couldn't replicate. Then towed to houston jaguar dealership where purchased from and they said they couldn't find anything wrong and could not replicate so said nothing to repair. Occurrence in austin, tx (houston garaged). Previously, two weeks before, smelled gas in car when filled up (again dealership couldn't smell or find a problem). *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jaguar xf. While traveling at 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was awaiting a diagnosis of the failure. The current and failure mileages were 9,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jaguar xf. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times while driving at any speed. The lights on the instrumental panel illuminated prior to the vehicle stalling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure where the dealer performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the fuel system. The dealer also test drove the vehicle, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the fuel lines and the fuel hose, but the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to stall when driving at any speed. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 39,562.

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 10 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other engine problem happen on the 2010 Jaguar XF?
Across 10 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 55,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 15,000 miles and a quarter after 95,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other engine problem on the 2010 Jaguar XF?
10 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 1.5 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
