2009 JAGUAR XF Complaints

BEGAN NOTICING A SMALL WHINE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL, MORE OBVIOUS AT LOW SPEED. LEVEL OF NOISE INCREASED RAPIDLY. CALLED DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT 10/22/12 SAW THEM THAT DAY AND THEY VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. CALLED JAGUAR FOR AUTHORIZATION. NOTIFIED BY JAGUAR ON 10/23/12 FULL AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL. DEALER ADVISES AN ANTICIPATED TWO DAY DELIVERY TIME FOR REPLACEMENT. NOTE: COMPLETELY SATISFIED THAT THE DEALER WAS HELPFUL IN SUCH RAPID AUTHORIZATION AND TURN AROUND OF REPLACEMENT PARTS.MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT USUALLY A DIFF. FLUID ANALYSIS AND "OTHER REMEDIES" ARE SUGGESTED PRIOR TO A MAJOR COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. I ANTICIPATE RECEIVING THE CAR BACK FRIDAY THE 26TH, OR THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THEY ALSO NOTIFIED ME OF A TAIL LIGHT RECALL WHICH HAD NOT BEEN DONE, WHICH I HAD NOT BEEN ADVISED OF BY JAGUAR. *TR

ON 05/02/2012. I WAS PREPARING TO PARK MY 2009 JAGUAR FX, CAME TO COMPLETE STOP... WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, I HAD THE BRAKE ON, I COULD BARELY HOLD IT BACK ,IT JUMPED THE CURB .....I COULD NOT STOP THAT CAR ,IT WAS TRYING TO CLIMB A CHAIN LINK FENCE... THE ONLY THING THAT STOP THE CAR WAS WHEN I HIT THE STEEL POLE...THERE WAS $8,200.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THIS CAR.... MY SON AND I WERE NOT HURT ,BUT WE COULD HAVE BEEN IF IT WOULD HAVE BROKE THUR THAT FENCE... WE WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN A EMBANKMENT AND MIGHT OF HIT A TREE, OR ROLLED OVER.... MY HUSBAND HAD IT TOWED TO JAGUAR DEAL WHERE THEY SAID "THEY COULDN'T FIND A THINK WRONG WITH IT".. NOW, I HAVE THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.... I WILL HAD TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE I HAVE TO MUCH MONEY IN IT ..BUT, I WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN IT EVER AGAIN.... I WILL NEVER PUT THERE LIVES IN DANGER.... PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ONE THESE DEVIL CARS BE CAREFUL AND BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

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.

THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO NEUTRAL AND COULD NOT BE MOVED INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THE 2009 JAGUAR XF. *TR

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
