“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11282048, filed 2019-11, 40,943 miles“The sensor for the light over my rear view mirror keeps flickering. I had the sensor replaced when I initially purchased the vehicle. The sensor apparently is unstable and needs replacing again. The light constantly flickers causing visibility to be difficult in seeing oncoming traffic. This seems like it would be a huge safety issue that can result in an accident.”
