  BUBBLING DASHBOARD: THIS ISSUE HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. ITS UNFAIR THAT THE MAKER OF JAGUAR WILL NOT STAND BY THIS GROWING ISSUE WITH THEIR DASHBOARD PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE DASH (COST $4,000) AND THE JAGUAR MAKER WILL NOT PLACE THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL ISSUE. WHEN I'M NOT DRIVING MY JAGUAR, ITS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I WOULD LIKE THE MAKER OF JAGUAR, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM TO ALL JAGUAR OWNERS DASHBOARDS . *TR

  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.

  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 EFFECTS A MAJORITY OF 2009-2011 XF MODELS. JAGUAR ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AS EARLY 2009. YET CONTINUED TO USE A MANUFACTURING PROCESS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE KNOWN DEFECT CAN CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF DRIVING WHILE BLIND ARE OBVIOUS. JAGUAR, SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT.

  I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP BUT THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AND I HAD BRAKE HARD TO HOLD THE CAR BACK. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR AGAIN, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, AND THE CAR RAN FINE THE REST OF THE EVENING. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT AND AS I TRY TO PARK, THE ENGINE ACCELERATES WILDLY. I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES AND PUT IT INTO PARK. ONCE IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE SHIFTER WAS NOW STUCK. I TAPPED THE SHIFTER AND THAT ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WENT TO NORMAL OPERATION. AS OF 12/11, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO MY DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. *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 OFF AND RAISES INTO THE DRIVER'S HAND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, TO A TOUCH-SENSITIVE GLOVEBOX LOCK. JAGUAR HAS HISTORICALLY FACED QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE XF IS A SHARP-LOOKING CAR WITH A POWERFUL ENGINE THAT HAS WON PRAISE FROM MANY REVIEWERS, BUT QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR COULD DEFEAT JAGUAR'S EFFORTS TO REFORM ITS IMAGE.

  TAKATA RECALL IS THE FRONT AIRBAG MODULE WHICH HAS HAD A RECALL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THAT ESPECIALLY WITH MY DASHBOARD PULLING APART. I HAD PREVIOUSLY SENT A COMPLAINT IN ABOUT MY DASHBOARD BUT NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM NHTSA. SINCE I CONTACTED YOU THE FIRST TIME MY DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I'M PAYING EVERY MONTH FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. JAGUAR LAND ROVER USED FAULTY ADHESIVE ON THEIR DASHBOARDS CAUSING A MAJOR ISSUE FOR JAGUAR OWNERS AND EXPECTING US TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR AN UNSAFE CAR THAT THEY PUT ON THE ROAD. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY RECALL DONE ASAP ALONG WITH MY DASHBOARD. JAGUAR IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OF THIS AND AS SOON AS SOMETHING HAPPENS THEY WILL HAVE A SERIOUS LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS. THE LEATHER ON MY DASHBOARD IS BUBBLING UP IN THE MIDDLE NEAR THE SPEAKER AND THE LEATHER IS PULLING APART FROM THE DASHBOARD TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE ACTUAL DASH IT SELF. PLEASE HELP ME I'M A DISABLED, FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE RIPPED OFF ANYMORE BY JAGUAR USA. IF PICTURES ARE NEEDED PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS SO MUCH.

  DURING A VISIT TO THE JAGUAR LAND ROVER MISSION VIEJO DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE, MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME DUE TO A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS.

  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 MY HOME THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR DIAL. ON EXITING THE CAR A WARNING SIGN INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL ENGAGED. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED AND WAS AGAIN ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES IF THE TRANSMISSION GOT STUCK IN REVERSE WHEN IN A BUSY PARKING LOT OR ON A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS RELATED TO POWER DRAINAGE ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH RENDERED IT UNABLE TO BE OPENED OR START. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR UNTIL THE ITEM IS FIXED AND SINCE THIS IS A JULY 4TH WEEKEND MY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS ARE LIMITED. THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS SERIOUS IN MY OPINION. *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 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. *TR
