The rear differential seal failed due to faulty manufacturing process wherein contaminated "lifetime" differential fluid was sealed into the differential housing causing excessive and premature pinion gear wear. This wear results in movement of the half shafts and the destruction of the differential seals. In order to remedy the situation an entire "new" differential must be installed. Simply ordering replacement seals and pinion gears will not suffice as the differential design was changed and the new components are of a different size, which results in requiring complete replacement of the rear differential at a cost of anywhere from $6200 - $8900, according to jaguar dealerships. Jaguar is fully aware of this issue and have issued many tsb regarding same; however, they failed to take preventive action on tens of thousands of vehicles, many of which did not show symptoms of failure until after the manufacturer's warranty expires, resulting in hefty bills to unsuspecting owners.

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.

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.

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.

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....
