Jaguar Xf Service Brakes, Electric Safety Report | June 15, 2010
Reported on June 15, 2010
| 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. *TR | |
