2009 Jaguar XF Fuel System Problems

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.

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 AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORST THE FUEL RAIL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE THROUGH JAGUAR THE PART IS OBSOLETE SO HOW CAN WE HAVE ARE CAR REPAIRED IF JAGUAR DOESN'T EVEN CARRY THE PART ???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JAGUAR XF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ONE QUARTER FULL, THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AFTERWARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V424000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000. KMJ UPDATED 07/22/14 MA

I PURCHASED THE 2009 JAGUAR XF SUPERCHARGE AND I HAD MULTIPLE STALLS IN THIS VEHICLE , WHERE IT WOULD STOP WORKING AND THE READING BOARD WOULD READ DEFAULT SYSTEM AND WOULD NOT START FROM ANYWHERE TO 2-20 MINUTES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN OF COURSE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ONLY INDICATED IT ONE TIME ON ONE INVOICE, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I FINALLY TOOK A VIDEO AND GAVE IT TO THE JAGUAR SHOP IN WALNUT CREEK (EUROPEAN JAGUAR), AND THEY SENT THE VIDEO TO THE MANUFACTURE. I WAS CONTACTED BY LETTER BY THE MANUFACTURER SAYING SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLE. I ALSO SPOKE TO [XXX] MY ADVISOR WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE MANUFACTURE NEW THE PROBLEM. NOTHING SEEMED TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND FINALLY ON MAY 3, 2011, I WAS TRAVELING ON 580 WESTBOUND AND THE CAR EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. I ESCAPED BUT WITH INJURIES TO THE RIGHT WRIST AND RIGHT KNEE, AND LEFT ANKLE, NEEDING SURGERY AND PTSD. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF 2010 MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED, AS TO THE GAS FLANGE /GAS TANK SYSTEM, THAT COULD BE RELATED. I, HOWEVER WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND IF MY CHILDREN WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE EARLIER THAT MORNING AT 7:50 AM , THEY WOULD HAVE ENDED IN TWO DEATHS, LIKELY THREE TRYING TO RESCUE THEM. THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 10;30 A.M. ON MAY 3, 2011. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION IN TAKING THE COMPLAINT. I CAN FORWARD PHOTOS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD REQUIRE IF NEEDED. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
