Not sure what triggers it. Have to see if I can reproduce consistently tomorrow. Maybe parking brake set? That's the only thing I can think of that I do randomly...

I have had my car for a week 654 miles and I went to start it the other day and it just clicked like an old worn starter motor, then it fired up but adaptive dynamics failure and stability control failure. turned it off and back on and got EBD failure parking brake failure, ABS failure, gearbox failure, then all the dash started to have a rave needles up down stopping mid way going back, lights flickering, warning saying the key was not matched and to hold it under the dash to activate. slight burning smell from the dash, took Jaguar assist 2 hours to get to me, he couldn't do anything apart from check the battery, called the AA truck to recovery me 1 1/2 hour later he turned up and said he couldn't put car on truck as parking brake was on, he went off, 45 minutes later Jaguar assist came back and just sat in the van for half an hour then said another recovery truck was coming in an hours time and he buggered off, recovery driver turned up looked at the car and held his head saying don't think ill get it on the truck, I said you are not leaving until its on your truck as the time was now 23:20 and I broke down at 17:15, so we managed to get the rear on some skates and I had to try and keep the back straight whilst winching it on the truck. Covered in black crap from head to toe clothes ruined dying for a wee, starving and freezing as I only had a T-shirt on. dropped my home and Enterprise delivered me a courtesy car that night or should I say morning as he turned up at 00:15. car is now back with Harwoods and they are scratching their head. To top it off I ordered and payed for black pack interior and it didn't come with it, now they are saying they might not be able to fit it now the cars been made, ok you owe me £950 please.
Other than that I love the car.

Hi Tony,
Glad we were able to get this resolved quickly.
Obviously we would hope situations like this wouldn't occur, but when it does, the most important thing is that we get it resolved as quickly as possible to cause as little inconvenience as possible.
Thank you for updating the thread and I will continue to follow the progress.
Many thanks,
Pete

fuse box
Tony J,
It took the dealer in Minneapolis, Minnesota 3 weeks to figure out the fuse box problem and get my F-Type running properly again. Since the fix, it has been flawless and no more electrical issues. Great daily driver. Up to almost 9000 miles now. When I read your post, it brought back bad memories of having every electrical system go crazy all at once. I was able to limp back home, though. I still love this car.

Filler weirdness
Just purchased the F-type R Coupe and loving it except for two issues:
1) Check engine light is on. Taking it to dealer on Monday to diagnose. Will report back.
2) I am having difficulty putting gas in the tank. The gas nozzles keep shutting off as if they are losing their suction due to the angle of the nozzle when filling the car with gas. Last fill-up I had to manually hold the gas nozzle and even then it shut off about 60 times during the fill-up. Frustrating. Is anyone else having this problem?

I do not have my car with me yet, but I read the manual and if if you want to double lock through the handle you need to touch it twice in an interval of 3 seconds. You might want to try it. Noobs advice.

Problem Speakers and Convertible Top
3 additional problems to add:
Speaker in Driver's door not working;
Buzzing and distortion in speakers - general poor quality sound in 770 watt Meridian System.
Premature wear on convertible top fabric due to misalignment of the top in the storage compartment.
My dealer replaced the door speaker, but was not able to stop the buzzing and distortion in the speaker system. New convertible top is now at dealership, but replacement of top and further work on speaker system is now on hold because the Jag is in storage for our winter.
I love this car but the build quality and the sound system is worse than that on my previous car - a 2010 Nissan GT-R.

In the FWIW department, the Meridian 770 appears (from what info is available) to be fitted at standard in all 2016 F Types, so one would imagine they will have a solution, (or an even bigger problem!) in the near future.
Thanks for the update on your issues. Please can you raise your Meridian System issue with Ryan from Jaguar Customer Services. You are one of hundreds (maybe thousands) with this design fault. Great that your dealer has already had one go at it already - hopefully the dealer reported it to JLR. Do be sure to avoid them being allowed to add tape and foam as a solution to this as is not what you paid for. Many fellow owners would really appreciate your joining us in asking Jaguar to produce a proper fix for this fault. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you guys are following the thread I started last year about the Meridian system... but I took my car in yesterday and the Audio Control Module was bad, or at least, was faulting and throwing up a code. The ordered a new one and are going to address the rattles when I bring it back. We will see if the ACM faulting had anything to do with the bad sound or not.
