2009 JAGUAR XF Complaints

I PURCHASED THE 2009 JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGE AND I HAD MULTIPLE STALLS IN THIS VEHICLE , WHERE IT WOULD STOP WORKING AND THE READING BOARD WOULD READ DEFAULT SYSTEM AND WOULD NOT START FROM ANYWHERE TO 2-20 MINUTES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN OF COURSE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ONLY INDICATED IT ONE TIME ON ONE INVOICE, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I FINALLY TOOK A VIDEO AND GAVE IT TO THE JAGUAR SHOP IN WALNUT CREEK (EUROPEAN JAGUAR), AND THEY SENT THE VIDEO TO THE MANUFACTURE. I WAS CONTACTED BY LETTER BY THE MANUFACTURER SAYING SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLE. I ALSO SPOKE TO [XXX] MY ADVISOR WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE MANUFACTURE NEW THE PROBLEM. NOTHING SEEMED TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND FINALLY ON MAY 3, 2011, I WAS TRAVELING ON 580 WESTBOUND AND THE CAR EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. I ESCAPED BUT WITH INJURIES TO THE RIGHT WRIST AND RIGHT KNEE, AND LEFT ANKLE, NEEDING SURGERY AND PTSD. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF 2010 MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED, AS TO THE GAS FLANGE /GAS TANK SYSTEM, THAT COULD BE RELATED. I, HOWEVER WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND IF MY CHILDREN WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE EARLIER THAT MORNING AT 7:50 AM , THEY WOULD HAVE ENDED IN TWO DEATHS, LIKELY THREE TRYING TO RESCUE THEM. THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 10;30 A.M. ON MAY 3, 2011. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION IN TAKING THE COMPLAINT. I CAN FORWARD PHOTOS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD REQUIRE IF NEEDED. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE IN THE ACT OF PARKING MY FATHER N LAW'S CAR AT THE MALL. I BEGAN TO PULL THE CAR FORWARD AFTER A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT COVERING AND APPLYING THE BRAKE AS ANOTHER CAR BEGAN TO PASS IN FRONT OF ME. HIS 2009 JAGUAR XFL SURGE AND ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY WHILE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ALTHOUGH THIS ACTION DIDN'T CAUSE ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO ANYONE NOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS NOT THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING HIS CAR DURING MY VACATION IN PUERTO RICO. I'M WRITING TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF THE UNSOLICITED ACCELERATION PROBLEM THIS CAR HAS FOR FEAR OF NOT JUST MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BUT OTHER CONSUMERS WHO MIGHT HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

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.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION.....THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. YOU WILL THEN HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO GO FORWARD. BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. A NEW TRANS IS NEEDED DUE TO THE 3RD AND 4TH GEARS NO ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD, ALTHOUGH IT HAS OVER 140K MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING THEME WITH THE XF MODEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT A JAGUAR DEALER AND FOR THE VEHICLE TO REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION IS VERY SADDENING. HOW DOES A LUXURY BRAND FAIL SO MUCH WITH THE POWERTRAIN. *TR
