For the 2017 Jaguar XE, engine complaints make up the largest share of what owners report, followed by airbag and electrical system issues. On the engine side, owners describe stalling while driving, difficulty restarting after a stall, check engine and battery warning lights coming on together, and in a few cases a diesel fuel odor accompanied by visible fuel leaking underneath the vehicle. Fuel line failure was diagnosed in at least one instance. Airbag complaints center on the warning light illuminating unexpectedly, with one owner told by a dealer that the passenger-side airbag had failed outright and needed replacement. Electrical system reports overlap somewhat with the engine complaints, pointing to warning lights and intermittent no-start behavior. A single report describes unexpected acceleration with brake pedal unresponsiveness, but that account stands alone and does not reflect a pattern seen across multiple complaints.

By System
The 2017 Jaguar XE has two recalls, the more serious affecting diesel models where a fuel return hose can leak diesel onto the road and create a skid hazard for other vehicles.
The second recall applies only to vehicles that previously had a rear rail assembly replaced as part of a service repair: missing spot welds can weaken the structure enough that the rear bumper beam may detach while the car is being towed, or the tow-bar assembly may come loose while towing a trailer.
