2010 Jaguar XF Electrical System Problems

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.

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 MY CAR STARTED UP I NOTICE THAT THE SCREEN ON THE STEREO SYSTEM WAS JUST FLASHING AND NEVER CAME ON ALSO THE CAR STARTED OVER HEATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO THERE IS HAS LEAKING FROM THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BELOW CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW WITH $2,745 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK BEING DONE TO 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

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

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. *TR
