Owner report 10230231 · 2008-06-07 (June 7, 2008)
I LEASED A NEW 2009 JAGUAR XF ON 3/17/08. THE CAR HAD ONE NOTICEABLE SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT THAT WILL CERTAINLY KILL SOMEONE EVENTUALLY. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER, SALE, SERVICE, AND REGIONAL JAGUAR. THE CAR HAS THE NEW "PADDLE" SHIFTING LEVERS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AT 3 O'CLOCK AND 9 O'CLOCK POSITIONS. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE PADDLES -SOMETIMES AT INOPPORTUNE MOMENTS, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

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 B…

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.

Owner report 10410345 · 2011-07-03 (July 3, 2011)
ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 2ND. 2011, I STOPPED MY 2009 JAGUAR XF IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE GEAR DIAL SELECTOR FROM S (SPORTS) AND NOTICED A WARNING WHICH SAID GEARBOX FAULT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL ENGAGED. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE INTERNET ON MY CELL PHONE BUT CALLED A FRIEND WHO GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO WAIT A WHILE. I DID THIS AND WAS ABLE TO OPERATE THE GEAR SELECTOR DIAL AND CONTINUE THE 30 MILES TO MY HOME. ON PARKING AT…
