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.

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.

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 federal safety agency, 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.

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

The federal safety agency 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.

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.

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.

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 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).
