The drivers side headlight directional is slowly failing due to the design of it from the factory and it will soon be nonfunctional. 2020 Jaguar F-Type daytime running light (DRL) or driving light failure is usually caused by an internal design flaw where heat from the LED system melts the plastic light-guide rod. Because the DRL also serves as the amber turn signal, the melting can also cause the indicator strip to flash dimly or fail altogether and have no turn signal. This is a very well known problem on these vehicles and it is cleaarly a safety issue that should be a recall with Jaguar

Unexpectedly, The power steering went out on my 2020 Jaguar F-Type while driving. The power steering assistance reduced light came on in my dashboard. I'm being told by Hennessy Jaguar in Atlanta that even though my car has a little over 30k miles VIN # [XXX] , it's going to need a new Power Steering Rack. The cost for this repair is going to be over 6k. This is not acceptable, and this repair or replacement should not be necessary so soon as the life expectancy is much longer than 5 years.  I am reaching out for help since being unsuccesful for Jaguar to cover this repair even though it is past the warranty period.
