2009 JAGUAR XF - WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, IT GOES PAST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE FOOT TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE CAUSES MORE PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING PARKING. JAGUAR SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NOT A FIX. "BE CAREFUL" THEY SAY.*TR

HAD MY 2009 JAGUAR XF TO DEALER FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE ON 2-18-10. CAR HAD 12,000 ON IT. DISCOVERED REAR DISC BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT NEEDING REPLACEMENT. FRONT PADS LOOKED JUST FINE. REAR PADS SHOULD NOT DEGRADE IN ONLY 12,000 MILES. WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AS THE REAR BRAKES HANDLE MOST OF THE STOPPING POWER. MY UNDERSTANDING HAS ALWAYS BEEN IT'S THE FRONT BRAKES WHICH DO MOST OF THE WORK. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT IN WARNING INDICATING THE PADS ARE WORN, AND LOSING THE REAR BRAKES PREMATURELY COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WHATEVE…

2009 JAGUAR XF - SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE CAR ACCELERATED - ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PRESSING DOWN FULLY ON THE BRAKES. IT DID NOT RESPOND AT FIRST AND THEN SOMETHING SHIFTED AND THEN THE BRAKES WORKED. WITH FIVE MINUTES, IT DID IT AGAIN AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR WAS TO SLAM IT INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALER AND THE BLACK BOX INFORMATION DOWNLOADED TO THE MANUFACTURER. NO FAULT CODES FOUND AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS SINCE DONE IT ONE MORE …

REAR BRAKE ISSUE. TOOK MY 2009 XF TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE GONE AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE LUCKY TO GET 7500 MILES. "IT JUST THE WAY IT IS". I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED & TOOK THE CAR TO A HIGH PERFORMANCE ALIGNMENT SHOP. 1ST WE FOUND THE DEALER NEVER ALIGNED THE TIRES "EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PAID BY JAG TO DO SO" NEXT HE DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEVER COMPLETELY RELEASES & THAT'S WHY YOUR BURNING OUT BRAKES. IF YOU DR…
