general problems of the 2009 Jaguar XF

Rear brake issue. Took my 2009 Xf to the dealer for an oil change. I was informed that the rear brakes were gone and the tires needed to be replaced. I was informed by the dealer that the rear brakes are lucky to get 7500 miles. "it just the way it is". I had the brakes changed & took the car to a high performance alignment shop. 1st we found the dealer never aligned the tires "even though they were paid by jag to do so" next he discovered that the emergency brake never completely releases & that's why your burning out brakes. If you drive the car over 150 -200 at one time try placing you hand on the emergency brake. You'll receive 2nd degree burns from the heat transfer of the emergency brake dragging. When I told this to the dealer on my very first visit, I was told jag knew about this, but had no fix. My recommendation is stay away from jag.

2009 Jaguar Xf - when brake pedal is depressed, it goes past the accelerator pedal causing the foot to hit the accelerator and the brake at the same time. More pressure on the brake causes more pressure on the accelerator. Has happened three times at very low speeds during parking. Jaguar says they are aware of the problem but there's not a fix. "be careful" they say.
