IF THE ASSEMBLY IS NOT HELD TOGETHER WHEN TIGHTENING, THE D-RING AND/OR WASHER CAN SEPARATE FROM THE SHOULDER OF THE SPACER, ALLOWING THESE PARTS TO BE PARTIALLY CLAMPED BY THE SPACER, FORMING A BURR ON EITHER THE D-RING OR THE WASHER AND SUBSEQUENTLY LIMITING PROPER ROTATION OF THE D-RING.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

THE D-RING ASSEMBLY WILL THEN BE REINSTALLED TO CORRECT THE CONDITION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.

Dashboard leather bubbling and repairs are very expensive which I have not had done at the present time.

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.

CAR SHIFT KNOB WILL GET STUCK RANDOMLY

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. *TR

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 NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, 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 OF

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 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 EFFECT

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.

CAR SKIPS DURING ACCELERATION. ALSO, DASHBOARD BUCKLES

WHEN DOORS UNLOCKED CAN START ENGINE WITHOUT FOB NEAR BY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V027000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JANUARY OF 2017. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER (HOWARD ORLOFF JAGUAR IN CHICAGO, IL), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

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.

NHTSA & AIRBAGRECALL.COM SAY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. CREDITKARMA.COM (INSURANCE BY VEHICLE EVALUATION SCORE) AND "CHAPTER 11 LEGAL NOTICE" RE: TAKATA AIRBAGS SAY I'M INCLUDED. WHO IS CORRECT IN THIS SERIOUS AND CONSEQUENTIAL RECALL?

THE LEATHER DASH HAS SEPARATED FROM THE BACK CAUSING RIDGES IN THE LEATHER UP TO 3/4" HIGH. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THIS WILL PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THE LEATHER NEEDS TO BE FIRMLY ATTACHED AND STRETCHED TIGHT FOR THE STITCHING TO RIP CORRECTLY. IF THE LEATHER IS LOOSE AND RIDGED, THE STITCHING WILL ONLY PARTIALLY RIP AND MAY PREVENT FULL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT INTO THE CABIN.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V027000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE DEALER (LEITH JAGUAR, 1000 AUTOPARK BLVD, CARY, NC 27511) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
