2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury Questions
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have some quick questions about this model as we are looking at potentially trading my wife's LR3 for the Jag. I have researched the web about this model and year, but have a few questions that we are not clear about :
Was there a factory recall issued for the transmission stuck in park ? This is one common complaint I have been able to find while researching this car.
What other issues should we look for while validating the service history ?
The car we are looking at is Jaguar factory select certified until 3/30/15. Is this warranty comprehensive enough and comparable to the original 4yr 50K warranty ?
Does the 2009 premium luxury option include ventilated seats, backup camera and suede headliner for the year 09 ? We were not able to test drive the car today as the dealership had i in the service shop to fix the brakes etc, but at in a 2012 that had all these options.

As far as issues go. Taillights being ventilated and gearbox swap out are the 2 that I really know about.
Hmm the 09 has the suede headliner? Mine does not...although I think vehicles in the US compare to Canada have different standard options. The backup camera is standard in all trim lines I believe. My understanding was the ventilated seats and rear sunshade are hot climate temperature package and other things option packages include the blind spot monitoring and the HID headlights.
I have also heard that all Canadian cars were shipped with the heated windshield as well but not sure how much truth is in that. You will have to double check what options are on it.
Some things that come standard to my knowledge are: Headlight washers, backup camera, touch sensitive glove box and overhead lights, paddle shifters, usb and ipod connectivity. Specific to premium line: Leather seat back pockets (rather than netted) and keyless entry (should have black button on all 4 doorhandles)
Check for auto folding mirrors, rain sensing wipers, HID's, cooled seats, rear sunshade, bowers and wilkins stereo, heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated windshield (all probably don't matter in Florida haha). These were all options to my knowledge.
Hope that helps!
Enjoy the new ride!

Backup camera was not fitted to my base spec. Only the Canadian base cars were all fitted with the winter package, for at least the initial run: heated windshield, front seats and steering wheel, headlight washers and block heater. USB and iPod were not standard on the base model. The iPod connector came only with the single CD changer, the 6 disc changer only had an AUX input and no USB. My base came standard with rain sensing wipers and auto headlights. Bi-xenon headlights were optional and headlight washers were fitted if you ordered that option.
The 09 should have had the fuel filler flap opening mechanism replaced and the rear seat belt mounting checked, in addition to the transmission selector fault correction and the rear light modification.

According the 2009 US sales brochure that I have, there were five optional items available for the premium luxury model:
1. Advanced Vision Pack - Bi-zenon headlamps with washers and auto leveling, front parking aid, rear camera parking aid, and side mirror blind spot monitors.
2. Warm Climate Pack - Active ventilated heated and cooled front seats, and an electrically operated rear-window sunblind.
3. Sirrus satellite radio.
4. Bowers and Wilkins 440 Watt audio system with a subwoofer and 13 speakers, a 6-disc in-dash changer, and a portable audio (ipod) input.
5. 20" Selena wheels with 235/35/ZR20 tires.
Otherwise, it came standard with 19" auriga wheels with 245/40/HR19 all-season tires, 3-stage heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. It also came with only a 320W audio system with a single disc player and a portable audio (ipod) interface. A no-cost option for the 320W system was an in-dash 6-disc changer and no audio interface. There is no mention of a suede headliner or a heated windshield.

Heated windshield has some vision drawbacks, though some people insist the wires are invisible. Your vision may differ as does mine. I can easily see the wires. This option is a bad idea unless you drive where winter conditions are severe enough to warrant putting up with the wires, such as where I drive and most Canadians do also. Most of the US would prefer unheated windshields if they were given the option.

I have a 2009 PL and I indeed did have the gearshift get stuck in park one day. It was a cold day and I had backed into a parking space, and when I started the car to leave, the gear selector would not move. As the car becomes "stuck" in Park if this should happen, the only thing you can do is pull the red release tab (under the center console) to get the car out of gear, and have it towed/flat-bedded to service. Jag covered the tow and repair. IIRC it was a materials replacement within the gearshift selector mechanism?

i never had an issue with my XF being stuck in park. actually this is the first time ive heard of it.
Not sure if heated windsheild was offered....however YES you can kinda see the wires. the wires are VERY thin, hairlike stands with no color...but you can see them if you focus on them. Ive had a few people comment about it in my XJ.
i dont think ventilated seats were offered. backup cam was an option

That's interesting, the Canadian brochures must be different than the US version. Mine says the ventilated seats were standard on the S/C vehicles and were part of an optional warm climate package that also included a rear window sunblind for the Premium vehicles .

We all got the winter package as standard: heated seat and windshield, headlight washers even with base halogen headlights and a nifty factory installed block heater (which I haven't used because we don't need to anymore with thin modern oil). So, ventilated sets were an option. Wonder if Florida got ventilated seats as standard? Sure!
