2009 Jaguar XF Complaints

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. WHILE THE FUEL WAS BEING DEPLETED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. ONCE MORE FUEL WAS ADDED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR GREENSBORO (1205 BRIDFORD PKWY, GREENSBORO, NC 27407), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

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.

I BELIEVE JAGUAR SHOULD RECALL THE FUEL RAIL BECAUSE THE ALUMINUM FUEL RAILS CORRODE FROM THE INSIDE OUT FROM USING CERTAIN ETHANOL FUELS WITH LOW WATER CONTENT, WHICH CAUSE A PINHOLE THAT SPRAYED RAW GASOLINE ONTO A HOT ENGINE WHICH CAUSE A FIRE. THOSE ALUMINUM FUEL RAILS WERE NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL RAILS. MY CAR WAS ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO A PINHOLE FUEL LEAK WHICH DEVELOPED. AND THIS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORST THE FUEL RAIL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE THROUGH JAGUAR THE PART IS OBSOLETE SO HOW CAN WE HAVE ARE CAR REPAIRED IF JAGUAR DOESN'T EVEN CARRY THE PART ???

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) CAUSES THE SUN TO REFLECT / GLARE DIRECTLY TO THE WINDSHIELD & INTO THE OPERATORS EYES. THE RESULT, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE (HIGH NOON, VERY SUNNY DAYS, DUSK/DAWN), IS COMPLETE VISION IMPAIRMENT. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A DEFECTIVE GLUE / BONDING AGENT APPLIED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. ONCE SEPARATION BEGINS IT PROGRESSES AND SPREADS LIKE CANCER. 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 AGENT, 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 AGENT, CURE, AND REINSTALL. BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS N...
