2009 Jaguar Xf Engine Problems

INSIDE CAR INTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON IT'S OWN. EVEN AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL COME AND OFF BY THEMSELVES FOR APPARENT REASON. I'VE GOOGLE AN SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON JAGUAR WEBSITE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2011 WITH NO RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE AN AS OF TODAY I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. ENGINE MAKES A TICKING NOISE WHILE IDLING AND WORSE AFTER ACCELERATION. AS IF SOMETHING IS LOSE PUT IN SHOP A FEW TIME THEY CHECKED THE TIMING CHAIN, LIFTERS, AND USED AN STETHOSCOPE TO FIND THE PROBLEM STILL CAN'T. JUST TOLD ME TO DRIVE UNTIL THE ENGINE GOES OUT.

THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE. I TURNED THE CAR ON, ROTATED THE SHIFTER TO "D" (I HAD BACKED INTO THE GARAGE), AND AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE SPEED INCREASED TO A HIGHER SPEED THEN THE PRESSURE I WAS USING TO ACCELERATE. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN THE PROCESS BY PRESSING THE "START" BUTTON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AS I WAS SLOWLY PULLING IN TO MY GARAGE. THE ACCELERATOR ENGAGED BUT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID DRIVING THROUGH MY HOUSE.

THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 09/04/2016. I WAS GOING IN HIGHWAY AT 70MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED FOR 0.5 SECOND AND TURNED ON BY ITSELF. ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESTARTED AT THAT TIME. I DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AT THAT TIME AND IT STARTED TO COME AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT IS IN THE LOCAL ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING AT 30 MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED AND THE STEERING IS STRUCK. I CHANGED THE CAR TO PARK MODE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND THE CAR STARTED AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE A NEW BATTERY ON THE CAR AND THE KEY FOB HAS NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED STRAIGHTWAY. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THIS. I TOOK THE TAKE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND ASKED TO TAKE IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE HIGHWAY AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE LANE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. HENCE I'M REPORTING THIS.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY DAD THAT PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE YARD THAT HE HEARD RATTLING WHEN HE SAW MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I SHIPPED MY CAR IT WASN'T MAKING ANY RATTLING NOISES. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE TO SEE ANYTHING BUT HE END UP TOWING THE CAR BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR RUNNING WITH A RATTLING SOUND. IT WAS STATIONARY BUT ALREADY RUNNING WHEN HE FIRST APPROACHED IT AND NOTICED THE RATTLING. HOW CAN THIS CASE BE RESOLVE?

TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT JAGUAR NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. *TR
