Common 2009 Jaguar Xf problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the 2009 Jaguar XF, several common problems have been reported:
- Electrical Issues: Owners have experienced various electrical problems, including false alarms for low tire pressure and coolant levels, as well as issues with the touch-screen sat-nav turning off and warning lights staying on. The complexity of the electronics in the car has led to frustrations and reliability concerns.
- Battery Drain: The XF has a programming issue that causes the car's systems to remain active, leading to battery drain. This has resulted in the car being stranded multiple times due to the battery being depleted.
- Timing Chain Jumping: Models with the 5.0 V8 and 3.0 supercharged V6 engines have reported issues with the timing chain jumping. This problem is caused by a design flaw in the tensioners and guides, potentially leading to engine failure if not addressed promptly.
- Water Pump Failure: Water pumps on the 5.0 V8 and 3.0 supercharged V6 models are prone to failure, often due to coolant entering the bearing housing and causing corrosion. Symptoms include low coolant levels and coolant leaks around the water pump pulley.
- Window Regulator Failure: Window regulators, especially on the driver's door, are known to fail. This can result in issues with opening and closing windows, requiring repairs or replacements.
- Gear Selector Stuck: Some owners have reported issues with the gear selector getting stuck in the console, particularly in the Park position. This can be caused by a weak battery or a faulty selector unit, necessitating replacement.
- Dashboard Vents Not Rotating: The air vents in the dashboard that rotate when the climate control is activated have been known to malfunction. This can lead to issues with the dual-zone air conditioning system and may require replacement of the vent and motor unit.
- TPMS Sensor Failure: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors are sensitive and prone to failure in the XF. Owners have reported needing to replace these sensors multiple times, with faulty sensors requiring replacement involving dismounting the tire from the rim.
These common problems highlight the challenges faced by owners of the 2009 Jaguar XF, ranging from electrical issues to mechanical failures that can impact the car's performance and reliability.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-04-18
- VIN: SAJWA06B49H
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: 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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-01-02
- Fire: 1
- VIN: SAJWA05BX9H
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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 ???

- VIN: SAJWA07C491
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 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.

This is my 3rd Jaguar. I'm so proud of it! It's definitely the talk of the town. The shape, design, and performance are just out of this world. Thumbs up!

I test drove most competitors in this class, but I wasn't satisfied until I test drove the XF. From the moment I got behind the wheel, I knew this was the car for me! I've owned Lexus and Acura before, but they just don't compare to this car. The interior design is spectacular, with a leather dash, comfortable seating, and top-of-the-line technology. The exterior also sets it apart from its competitors in its class. I've fallen madly in love with my first Jaguar - it's truly an exceptional vehicle! The build quality is excellent, and the transmission shifts through the gears beautifully! I'm so happy that I stopped in to test drive the XF on a whim.

I'm so glad I decided to buy this wonderful vehicle!

I never thought I would own a Jaguar, but during my recent search for my next $50k car, I stumbled upon a magazine article comparing the Jag XF with the Mbz 500E, GS460, and BMW 550i. I was thrilled to see that the XF came out on top. I went to my local dealer to test drive the car, and I fell in love with the design and how it rides. I was coming off a lease from my 04 Infiniti G35 coupe and was looking for a car that was a little bigger. I went with the basic model with navigation to cut the cost down a little, but this car already came with a lot of options I needed anyway. The exterior design is slick and modern, and the interior is impeccable. But the best quality about the XF is the ride. Try it, and you'll know what I mean. It's the best car I've ever bought.

I always wanted a Jag, but I've been too practical until now. With big losses in the stock market, I decided to spend my money rather than watch it diminish through no fault of my own. I absolutely love it! The looks, the interior, performance, and the entire start-up display are all amazing. I love the sound of the engine, fast runs through sweeping corners, and listening to good music in the elegant interior. I looked at Merc, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti, but only the Jag spoke to me. The gas mileage is troubling, but I'm coming out of a Hybrid, so of course, it hurts. But it's such a sweet ride! I only worry that such conspicuous consumption in a prolonged recession may be in bad taste.

Are you having problems with your 2009 Jaguar Xf?

Hello to all my fellow XF owners! If you've ever found yourself in a situation where your car is stuck in park or drive, I completely understand your frustration. I absolutely adore this car, but unfortunately, I've experienced this issue twice in the past 6 weeks. The dealership has been very helpful and has informed me that it's a factory recall issue. However, I can't help but wonder if it's a design flaw. I'm considering selling the car, and I would advise anyone thinking of purchasing one to think twice. Although it's an amazing ride, it's not worth being stranded on the side of the road twice in such a short period of time, especially for a $65,000 automobile. Take care!

Although my experience with this car was not great, I must say that it is a stunning vehicle that definitely catches the eye. However, I did encounter some issues with the car, such as interior lights turning on by themselves and a fuel door that would not open. Additionally, I had to replace the supercharger gasket and experienced a major issue where the car would not come out of park, leaving me stranded for three hours. The car also required new tires at 13,000 miles and new brakes at 18,000 miles. I hope the manufacturer can address these issues and improve the car's reliability.
