TAKATA RECALL_ CONTACTED THE JAG DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID JUST KEEP DRIVING AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER CAN MAKE ENOUGH TO CATCH UP. I'M ON THE ROAD ABOUT 3 HRS A DAY FOR MY JOB AND THIS IS VERY DISTRESSING. IT MIGHT BE YEARS BEFORE THEY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. DO WE JUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED?

2009 JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGED DASHBOARD GLARE & VISIBILITY OBSTRUCTION THE LEATHER DASHBOARD ON MY 2009 JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGED HAS BEGUN TO SEPARATE, RIPPLE, & BUBBLE. RESULTING IN A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE RIPPLING LOOKS SIMILAR TO WAVES CAUSING THE SUN TO REFLECT DIRECTLY TO THE WINDSHIELD & INTO MY EYES. THE RESULT, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE HIGH NOON, VERY SUNNY DAYS, AND AT DAWN) IT'S A COMPLETE VISION IMPAIRMENT. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A DEFECTIVE BONDING GLUE APPLIED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. ONCE SEPARATION BEGINS TO SPREAD LIKE A WILDFIRE. THE UNACCEPTABLE REPAIR ESTIMATE PROVIDED BY JAGUAR, $3,500.00 TO $4,500.00, TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. UNNECESSARY AS THE DEFECT IS THE BONDING GLUE, NOT THE HARDWARE. JAGUAR & OFFICIAL OEM FORUMS SUGGEST A... "COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE." THE REMEDY VIA THIRD PARTIES: REMOVE THE DASHBOARD, SEPARATE THE LEATHER, CLEAN, APPLY A NEW BONDING GLUE, CURE, AND REINSTALL. BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS NO LONGER FLAT, ON SUNNY DAYS & ESPECIALLY AT DUSK AND DAWN, THE LARGE BUBBLES & WAVES CAUSE LIGHT TO REFLECT DIRECTLY TO THE WINDSHIELD & THE OPERATORS EYES. THE RESULTING REFLECTION / GLARE RENDERS THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO OPERATE DURING THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED CONDITIONS. SAFETY IS IMPORTANT & JAGUAR SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE VIA RECALL & NOT LEAVE THE COSTLY REMEDY FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT TO THE CONSUMER & POTENTIALLY UNQUALIFIED THIRD PARTY REPAIR FACILITIES. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM EFFECTS A MAJORITY OF 2009-2011 XF MODELS. JAGUAR ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AS EARLY 2009. YET CONTINUED TO USE A MANUFACTURING PROCESS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE KNOWN DEFECT CAN CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF DRIVING WHILE BLIND ARE OBVIOUS. JAGUAR, SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT.

THERE IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THE DASH, A/C AND MENU DISPLAY. THE DASH GAS GAGE WOULD FLASH EMPTY WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. THE A/C USNI WOULD CUT OFF AND BACK ON AFTER A WHILE. THE DISPALY MEUN WOULD FLASH OFF EVEN WHEN THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. THE CAR WAS SERVICED SEVERAL TIME BY THE JAGUAR SERVICE CENTER BUT THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.
