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.

Transmission control shift module - there was a recall notice k063 dated 9/19/11 from jaguar about trasmission control switch (tcs) replacement for the 2009 xfs. Apparently, the earlier k048 recall for the circuit board fix didn't quite cure all the problems. My transmission control shift module got stuck wouldn't go into drive or reverse; it was stationary. I had it towed to the jaguar dealer, they stated that the recall was for certain jaguars particular to VIN#'s. I advised them that my car is doing the same thing as recall manufacturer# k063. They stated it was not pertaining to my car, so they are charging me $1,200 to fix instead of apply the recall. I believe there has to be a mistake and my car should of been included on the recall list. I need someone to look more thoroughly into this issue as I am getting resistance from the manufacturer, and dealership.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jaguar xf. The contact stated that the vehicle would not shift out of reverse or shut off. In order to exit the vehicle the contact had to engage the emergency brake. The contact also stated that the gear shift on the vehicle was manufactured as a dial, and the dial would not turn out of reverse. A tow truck driver assisted the contact with shifting the vehicle out of reverse. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the entire gear shift mechanism was replaced. Approximately two months later the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 16,000.

The transmission sticks in drive. Jaguar service action k048 was performed after about the fourth time it stuck in gear. After dealer had car for several days only 2 hours after picking it up it was dragged with the wheels locked up back on the tow truck with the transmission stuck in drive. The car has been at the dealer now for 15 days and all we are being told is that the transmission control switch (tcs) is broken and there are no replacements available. We were not even given any estimate of when the car will be repaired or if it can be repaired. This is a very serious safety defect with this transmission I have read enough blogs to know that all xf's have this transmission defect and this should be a major recall item. I'm going to ask jaguar to purchase the car back.
