I had excessive squeaking in my XF after 2000 miles. I took it to the dealer and after 10 minutes he lubricated around the sunroof I believe and most of it was gone. However after a couple of weeks I hear a squeak whenever it turns in to a driveway on an uneven surface. No other car I have had has ever made such a racket. I took it to the dealer and they are replacing the seals I believe. I am hoping for the best but will not live with this noise especially when i get in some friends Camry that is deathly quiet. I love the car otherwise but very disappointed that a car this expensive would have such squeaks

I use both an iPhone and my iPod. I leave my iPod connected all the time thru the MP3 port and use bluetooth wireless connection for the iPhone. No issues.

Hi,
 
I am trying to decide what phone to buy for the blue tooth on the XF.
 
Is anyone using the LG instinct with sprint. Is it fully compatible.
 
Also can you use the i phone as a mp3 player and as a phone in the car?
Thanks.

Good Leasing Deals? by dccarguy

I'm looking to lease an XF in the Washington DC area. Can anyone provide input as to what should be considered good deals when it comes to the negotiated price, money factor, and residual value on these cars?
 
Any help would be appreciated!
 
Thanks

Hmmm,...Door Creaking?
 
This sounds very similar to my XF problem.
 
The sunroof creak or rattle is pretty common. I have learned that it is fixable and it is the subject of a dealer bulletin. However, your door noises sound similar to my own issue... I had thought I was the only one with a creaking or crackling sounds from my door trim or seals, but apparently not..?
 
I have been a big fan of this new XF, and I reported earlier in this thread that my only issue, a door rattle had been fixed, but now it keeps coming back.
 
My car has now been back to the dealer three times for what is best described as "snap, crackle and pop" noises from the door seals when I go over uneven terrain or situations where there is a great deal of body torqueing.
 
I love everything about the car, but these noises reappear after every repair attempt at the dealer... It is now very frustrating. The Jaguar zone technical rep has been involved too.. and they have taken apart the door seals, checked alignment and done all sorts of lubes and adjustments. The noises are quiet for a day or so, but then they reappear. My car has now spent several days in the shop, and they keep trying everything they can think of to quiet these noises, but it has not worked.
 
After multiple visits to the shop and several days without my car, I am now very close to getting a replacement vehicle because of this. We have been now thinking that maybe my car has a body or chassis alignment issue which is an unique problem to my car, but maybe not...?
 
The service manager does not question my concerns and has been working hard on this issue. But now he is even getting frustrated. He says none of the other 80 cars they have delivered had this issue, but now that I read your complaint, it makes me wonder if this is more of a widespread problem,?
 
QUESTION TO XF OWNERS: How many of you XF owners get crackling noises or creaking from the doors when driving over bumps or into a driveway, etc, etc.... ...Lets see if this is a common issue..?

i cannot believe it when I read your message. I thought I had written it. It is exactly what I have experienced. going down the freeway-no problem but when you get the car on an uneven surface as you said it is snap crackle pop. My car only has two thousand miles on it. I have a 4 year old Chrysler 300 Hemi with 60,000 miles that is completely quiet but this is the most aggravating noise i have ever heard in a brand new car. They are going to try to replace door seals, but I really do not think it is the seals. It feels like the frame is tweaking enough to make all the rubber squeak. Please let me know what happens with yours. I have told the dealer that I cannot live with that noise. If their repairs do not fix it then Jaguar will have to take this car back. It is embarrassing for a 60,000 car to have this problem please keep me posted at jfhinscaol.com if you want to . There might be a serious problem with structural rigidity.

I have creaking sounds but it is not a rattle or squeak - it seems to be coming from the suspension. It ONLY occurs when driving at slow speeds (less than 25( over inclines or uneven surfaces. I have not brought it into the dealer yet.
 
Interested in everyone's experience with this issue. Otherwise, car has been great.

See post #241 - that is the deal i got a couple of weeks ago in CA (I do not live in CA but they delivered the car to me). It was easy + professional. Hope this helps.
