2009 Jaguar Xf

CAR STALLS UPON A "WARM" START. MAY REQUIRE 2 ATTEMPTS FOR THE CAR TO STAY RUNNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT JAGUAR NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP BUT THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AND I HAD BRAKE HARD TO HOLD THE CAR BACK. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR AGAIN, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, AND THE CAR RAN FINE THE REST OF THE EVENING. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND AS I TRY TO PARK, THE ENGINE ACCELERATES WILDLY. I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES AND PUT IT INTO PARK. ONCE IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE SHIFTER WAS NOW STUCK. I TAPPED THE SHIFTER AND THAT ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WENT TO NORMAL OPERATION. AS OF 12/11, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO MY DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SENSOR. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE TO VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 2ND. 2011, I STOPPED MY 2009 JAGUAR XF IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE GEAR DIAL SELECTOR FROM S (SPORTS) AND NOTICED A WARNING WHICH SAID GEARBOX FAULT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL ENGAGED. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE INTERNET ON MY CELL PHONE BUT CALLED A FRIEND WHO GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO WAIT A WHILE. I DID THIS AND WAS ABLE TO OPERATE THE GEAR SELECTOR DIAL AND CONTINUE THE 30 MILES TO MY HOME. ON PARKING AT MY HOME THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR DIAL. ON EXITING THE CAR A WARNING SIGN INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL ENGAGED. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED AND WAS AGAIN ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES IF THE TRANSMISSION GOT STUCK IN REVERSE WHEN IN A BUSY PARKING LOT OR ON A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS RELATED TO POWER DRAINAGE ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH RENDERED IT UNABLE TO BE OPENED OR START. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR UNTIL THE ITEM IS FIXED AND SINCE THIS IS A JULY 4TH WEEKEND MY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS ARE LIMITED. THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS SERIOUS IN MY OPINION. *TR

WE JUST BOUGHT A 2009 JAGUAR XF TWO WEEKS AGO. YESTERDAY WHEN PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR'S ENGINE SURGED AND I WENT THRU THE GARAGE DOOR AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I HIT THE KITCHEN CABINETS, ALL THE WHILE, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. THERE ARE SKID MARKS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED. NO ONE WAS HURT THANK GOD, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AS OF THIS MOMENT, WE HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT THE REASONING IS BEHIND THIS ENGINE SURGE. *TR

REAR BRAKE ISSUE. TOOK MY 2009 XF TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE GONE AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE LUCKY TO GET 7500 MILES. "IT JUST THE WAY IT IS". I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED & TOOK THE CAR TO A HIGH PERFORMANCE ALIGNMENT SHOP. 1ST WE FOUND THE DEALER NEVER ALIGNED THE TIRES "EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PAID BY JAG TO DO SO" NEXT HE DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEVER COMPLETELY RELEASES & THAT'S WHY YOUR BURNING OUT BRAKES. IF YOU DRIVE THE CAR OVER 150 -200 AT ONE TIME TRY PLACING YOU HAND ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. YOU'LL RECEIVE 2ND DEGREE BURNS FROM THE HEAT TRANSFER OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DRAGGING. WHEN I TOLD THIS TO THE DEALER ON MY VERY FIRST VISIT, I WAS TOLD JAG KNEW ABOUT THIS, BUT HAD NO FIX. MY RECOMMENDATION IS STAY AWAY FROM JAG. *TR
