2009 Jaguar XF Electrical System Problems

CAR SHIFT KNOB WILL GET STUCK RANDOMLY

THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING STARTED AND WAS NOTICED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I NOTICED THE TURN SIGNAL SOUNDED DISTORTED OR LIKE A SHORT WAS DEVELOPING IN THE SYSTEM. THEN I NOTICED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE SEAT BELT WARNINGS WERE NO LONGER AUDIBLE. THESE INDICATIONS WERE LISTED IN CAMPAIGN 08V607000. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALL THE TIME. NOW MY SHIFTIER IS STUCK IN GEAR.THE CAR WILL BE STILL AND IT GETS STUCK. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS AND TOWARDS THE END IT HAS GIVEN ME HELL. TRANSMISSION ALWAYS FAILING WHILE DRIVING NO MATTER ON HIGHWAY OR STREET. THERE'S ALSO A LAG WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 50MPH.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V607000, ALSO OCCURS IN MY VEHICLE THE 2009 JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGED BUT THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. JAGUAR WILL NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOW ISSUE IN THAT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. THE 2009 THE SPEAKER FAILS, THE FOLLOWING AUDIBLE NOTIFICATIONS ARE IMPACTED: TURN INDICATOR, SEAT BELT WARNING, LIGHTS 'ON' WARNING, DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN WITH KEY IN IGNITION, DRIVER INTERVENE (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL VEHICLES ONLY) AND SEAT MEMORY. THE AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING IS TO REMIND DRIVERS TO WEAR THEIR SAFETY BELT. IF THE AUDIBLE WARNING IS NOT PRESENT, DRIVERS MAY NEGLECT TO WEAR THEIR SAFETY BELT, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

MY 2009 JAGUAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE WIRE HARNESS, HOWEVER THE WIRE HARNESS WAS REPLACED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I PURCHASED THE 2009 JAGUAR AT CAR MAX IN 2012, AFTER ABOUT 3 MONTHS IT WAS IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND ANTIFREEZE WAS SMELT, THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL AND MY CAR WAS RETURNED AFTER ABOUT 1 WEEK. THIS WAS A THIRD VEHICLE FOR MY HOUSEHOLD SO IT WAS BASICALLY GARAGE KEPT, AFTER ABOUT 1 YEAR( WITH FOLLOWING NORMAL OIL CHANGES, MY ABS/EBS AND OTHER LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, IT WAS TAKEN TO CAR MAX WHERE THE PUT ME IN A LOANER CAR AND KEPT MY CAR FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS, STATING WIRE HARNESS...FAST FORWARD, THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WENT TO THE SAME MECHANICAL SHOP ON JUNE 19,2018 AND ITS STILL IN THE SHOP NOW! PLEASE HLEP

RECALL ALERT: JAGUAR XFFACEBOOKTWITTER POSTED: DECEMBER 9, 2008 JAGUAR IS RECALLING ABOUT 3,800 2009 XF SEDANS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IN A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. IN A DEFECT NOTICE FILED WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, JAGUAR EXPLAINS, "THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SPEAKER WIRES MAY FRACTURE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF AN OVERLY AGGRESSIVE TICK-TOCK SOUND WAVE FORM, THE VOLUME OF WHICH IS VEHICLE SPEED DEPENDENT." THE XF MAKES THE TICK-TOCK SOUND WHEN ITS TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED - AND AT HIGH SPEED, THE SOUND MAY BE LOUD ENOUGH TO CRACK THE RUBBER COATING ON SPEAKER WIRES. "IN THE EVENT OF A SPEAKER FAILURE, THE FOLLOWING AUDIBLE NOTIFICATIONS WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION - DIRECTIONAL INDICATORS, SEAT BELT WARNING, 'LIGHTS ON' WARNING, DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, DRIVER INTERVENTION (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL EQUIPPED VEHICLES) AND SEAT MEMORY." DEALERS WILL MAKE A SIMPLE SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT, FREE OF CHARGE, TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OWNERS SHOULD RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL EXPLAINING THE RECALL THIS WEEK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE XF HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE IT CAME ON THE MARKET JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE EARLIER RECALL, INVOLVING A SEATBELT DEFECT, WAS A FAR MORE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK - BUT THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED TWICE IN SUCH A SHORT TIME MIGHT CONCERN SOME BUYERS. THE XF IS A MECHANICALLY COMPLEX CAR WITH MANY FEATURES NOT FOUND IN OTHER VEHICLES, FROM A SHIFT KNOB THAT SITS INSIDE THE CONSOLE WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND RAISES INTO THE DRIVER'S HAND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, TO A TOUCH-SENSITIVE GLOVEBOX LOCK. JAGUAR HAS HISTORICALLY FACED QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE XF IS A SHARP-LOOKING CAR WITH A POWERFUL ENGINE THAT HAS WON PRAISE FROM MANY REVIEWERS, BUT QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR COULD DEFEAT JAGUAR'S EFFORTS TO REFORM ITS IMAGE.

THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY UNBEARABLE, IT CONSISTENTLY DRAINS THE BATTERY UNTIL IT IS DEAD AND CANNOT TAKE A JUMP START. I WAS TOLD BY A GENTLEMAN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. THE FUEL SYSTEM IS ALSO A MAJOR COMPLICATION. THE FUEL COMES THROUGH THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS SO POTENT THAT I HAVE GOTTEN SICK ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHILE THESE MISHAPS ARE OCCURRING. IT IS REALLY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING TO SELL CARS THIS EXPENSIVE AND EXPERIENCE SO MANY COMPLICATIONS. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

INSIDE CAR INTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON IT'S OWN. EVEN AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL COME AND OFF BY THEMSELVES FOR APPARENT REASON. I'VE GOOGLE AN SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON JAGUAR WEBSITE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2011 WITH NO RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE AN AS OF TODAY I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. ENGINE MAKES A TICKING NOISE WHILE IDLING AND WORSE AFTER ACCELERATION. AS IF SOMETHING IS LOSE PUT IN SHOP A FEW TIME THEY CHECKED THE TIMING CHAIN, LIFTERS, AND USED AN STETHOSCOPE TO FIND THE PROBLEM STILL CAN'T. JUST TOLD ME TO DRIVE UNTIL THE ENGINE GOES OUT.

THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 09/04/2016. I WAS GOING IN HIGHWAY AT 70MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED FOR 0.5 SECOND AND TURNED ON BY ITSELF. ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESTARTED AT THAT TIME. I DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AT THAT TIME AND IT STARTED TO COME AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT IS IN THE LOCAL ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING AT 30 MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED AND THE STEERING IS STRUCK. I CHANGED THE CAR TO PARK MODE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND THE CAR STARTED AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE A NEW BATTERY ON THE CAR AND THE KEY FOB HAS NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED STRAIGHTWAY. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THIS. I TOOK THE TAKE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND ASKED TO TAKE IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE HIGHWAY AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE LANE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. HENCE I'M REPORTING THIS.

I HAVE ENJOYED THIS VEHICLE OVERALL EXCEPT FOR THREE ISSUES LIMITED TO QUALITY. THE NAV UNIT FAILED SHUTTING DOWN THE ENTIRE FIBER OPTIC NETWORK AND THE DASH PAD DELAMINATED. THE FRONT LCA BUSING ARE ALSO PROBLEMATIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SPEAKERS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V607000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE WOULD NEED TO BE RECONFIGURED BUT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE MALFUNCTIONS OF THE TPMS SYSTEM. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE INFLATED TO MFR SPECIFICATIONS YET THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY REPORTS A FAULT.
