2010 JAGUAR XF Electrical System Problems

My car also has the ongoing issue of the panel located between my speedometer and odometer the screen will randomly flicker and go out and then come back on I have notice the temperature when it's hot affects it worse that the winter but it happens all the time which scares me as I don't k ow when my car has issues as this is the only area that it will tell me my car is overheating amongst other notifications I called Jaguar and they want to charge me $3000+ to fix this. This is a defect ND should be replaced and not at the cost of the owner of the vehicle.

WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON, IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE GAS IS NOT TRAVELING SOMEWHERE AND CAUSES IT TO TAKE A WHILE. HAVING IT CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY IS A VERY SCARY THING. I SEE RECALLS YET THEY'RE ACTING AS IF MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY IT.

THE LEATHER DASH(WHY, IN HOT CARS?) HAS CRUMBLED AND COME APART FROM THE DASH ITSELF. IT STARTED OFF WITH A LITTLE CRUMBLING AND SEPARATION. NOW IT'S MUCH WORSE.THIS TENDS TO FLAP UP AND DOWN IF DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE WITH VISIBILITY. ALSO, THE DOME VANITY LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES IN MOTION AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I WAS TOLD THE CARBON PAD KIT BY THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE WIRING HAS SHORTED OUT. ALSO, THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHORTED OUT. THIS IS BEYOND ME HOW THE COMPUTER SHORTED OUT IN A CAR THAT'S ONLY 7 YEARS OLD.

I WAS SITTING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE CAR JUST SWITCHED OFF, NO WARNING SIGNS IT JUST SHUT DOWN AS IF IT WAS TURNED OFF. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND BUTTON TO RESTART. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED UP FINE, THIS HAD HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS, THE 2ND TIME I WAS DRIVING 40MPH AND THE LATEST 12 JAN 2014 AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AS OF YET. I AM NOT REALLY SURE WHAT TOO DO. I'M CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT NOT BE IN SUCH A CONVENIENT PLACE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO INITIATE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE CAR JUST SWITCHED OFF, NO WARNING SIGNS IT JUST SHUT DOWN AS IF IT WAS TURNED OFF.I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR ONTO THE HARD SHOULDER AND STOP SAFELY. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED UP FINE, THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AT A STOP LIGHT MONTHS BEFORE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A WEEK. IT SHOWS AN INTERRUPTION ON THE COMPUTER BUT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE GIVING IT BACK TO ME TOMORROW AS IS. MY WIFE NOW IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT NOT BE IN SUCH A CONVENIENT PLACE TO PULL OVER NEXT TIME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. TAKEN TO REPAIR AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THREE OTHER TIMES, WHEN USING BLUETOOTH PHONE CONNECTION, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND WENT BLACK. IT RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AS WELL. JAGUAR SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG... VERY SCARY... *TR

JAGUAR 2010 XF. BOUGHT THE CAR IN EARLY OCT, 2009. IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR THERE WERE 3 OCCURRENCES WHEREBY THE CAR 'S TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO COME TO A STOP. IN EACH INSTANCE THE STOPPING ACTION OCCURRED FOLLOWING A LOW SPEED TRAVEL : 1ST PARKING INTO A CHURCH PARKING SPACE, 2ND COMING TO A STOP IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON RTE 90 NEAR OAK PARK, ILL. AND LAST, AND MOST FRIGHTENING SLIPPING INTO A PARKING SPACE ON THE 7TH. LEVEL OF THE PARKING GARAGE FACING MARSHALL FIELD IN DOWNTOWN ,CHICAGO. IN THIS LAST SITUATION THE REAR WHEELS SPUN AND SCREECHED WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS FIERCELY AS I COULD. I CAME TO JUST A FEW INCHES OF THE RETAINING WALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO MAINTAINED THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN TEST DRIVEN AND COMPUTER TESTED WITHOUT DETECTION OF A RE-OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER TEST RESULTS WERE SENT TO JAGUAR AND REPORTED BACK THAT THE JAGUAR PEOPLE HAD NEVER HAD ANY SIMILAR REPORTS. THE DEALER ASKED THAT I RETRIEVE THE CAR AS NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS ELECTRONIC OR RELATED PROBLEMS AS REGARDS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BRAKING ACTION AND TRANSMISSION GOING INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE ENTIRE ELECTRONICS ON THE DASH BOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THE SCREEN MONITOR WENT DEAD. I DO NOT IN MY LAYMAN'S MIND KNOW WHETHER THERE IS ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO ISSUES. IN ANY EVENT I REFUSED TO GO BACK INTO THAT CAR. I ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE IT BACK AND I WAS OFFERED $ 36,000 FOR THE CAR. I PAID $ 59,674 FOR IT JUST A YEAR OR SO BEFORE. SOMEONE I KNOW SUGGESTED THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMEWHAT MORE BY SELLING IT PRIVATELY , BUT I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE IT ON MY CONSCIENCE SELLING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE.. THE DEALER BOUGHT IT WITH 3670 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENT, THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE WHEN COMING TO A STOP. UPDATED IVOQ 01/19/11 *TR

I EXPERIENCED A NO WARNING COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF MY 2010 JAGUAR XF AT 5:00PM ON OCTOBER 6, 2010. GAS GAUGE READ 30+ MILES, ODOMETER READ 7000+ MILES. I HAD JUST EXITED FROM A STRIP MALL AND DRIVING ON AN INCLINE AT 25-30MPH, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ABRUPTLY, THE GEAR CONTROL KNOB RECEDED INTO THE CONSOLE AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD LOST ITS ILLUMINATION. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR BY PRESSING THE START BUTTON BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I COULDN'T ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. THE POLICE AND MY FRIEND ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND ASSISTED ME BY POURING IN AT LEAST A GALLON OF GAS BUT THE CAR WAS STILL FROZEN IN PLACE. THE POLICE CALLED FOR TOW TRUCK ASSISTANCE SINCE MY CAR WAS BLOCKING THE "AFTER WORK" TRAFFIC FLOW. AFTER A DAY AND HALF AT THE SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP ON OCTOBER 8TH. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR (DIAGNOSTICIANS CHECKED BY MACHINE) AND ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE ON LOW FUEL. NOTHING WAS FIXED. ON OCTOBER 9TH CONCERN AND TERROR REGARDING THIS EXPERIENCE WAS EXPRESSED TO THE MANAGER. THE MANAGER WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THE 2 RECALLS RELATING TO SHUTDOWNS OF 2010 JAGUAR XF AUTOS AND REQUESTED THAT THEY PROBE FURTHER AND TO NOTIFY JAGUAR CORPORATE AND JAGUAR MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. AGAIN, ON OCTOBER 12TH, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP...CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOTHING FIXED. I REITERATED THAT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO INSPECT, INVESTIGATE AND DISCOVER WHAT CAUSED THE SHUTDOWN BECAUSE MY LIFE AND THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY CAN BE IN DANGEROUS JEOPARDY IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE ROADWAY OR FREEWAY. AS OF OCTOBER 13TH OR OCTOBER 14TH, I BELIEVE THE JAGUAR CORPORATE TECHNICIANS BECAME INVOLVED AND IS NOW GUIDING THE LOCAL SERVICE CENTER WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE. THIS NO WARNING COMPLETE SHUTDOWN FUNCTION OF THE JAGUAR AUTOMOBILE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THIS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES ON TWO NEW 2010 JAGUAR XFS. AS MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE BEGAN TO RING, THE CAR'S TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE WENT BLANK AND THE HVAC VENTS ROTATED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. I AM NOT SURE IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DOWN AS THE TOUCHSCREEN IMMEDIATELY REBOOTED AND THE VENTS ROTATED BACK OPEN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING, ACCELERATION, OR HANDLING. JAGUAR DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS THEIR PROBLEM. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT MY PHONE IS THE PROBLEM, BUT I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT IT IS AN APPROVED PHONE. I AM GETTING NOWHERE AND FIND IT INTERESTING THAT WHEN RECEIVING A PHONE CALL THAT THE PHONE IS CAPABLE OF TURNING ALL OF THE ABOVE SYSTEMS OFF. CAN SOMEBODY LET ME KNOW IF THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING? *TR

THIS OCCURRED ONE TIME ONLY. AS MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE BEGAN TO RING, THE CAR'S TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE WENT BLANK AND THE HVAC VENTS ROTATED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. I AM NOT SURE IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DOWN AS THE TOUCHSCREEN IMMEDIATELY REBOOTED AND THE VENTS ROTATED BACK OPEN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING, ACCELERATION, OR HANDLING. HOWEVER, I REMAIN CONCERNED AS ALL SYSTEMS ON THIS CAR ARE DRIVE BY WIRE. *TR
