I had the engine malfunction light problem. Immediateley brought it to the dealership and they said there was a software update (they call it a "flash")- they did the update and all is fine. Has not happened again (it's been 2 weeks).
 
Also, had lots of creaks and squeaks and it took a full day, but they were able to fix that too (I did not think they would but I was pleasantly surprised).IMO a lot has to do with the dealership. If the dealership handles some really high end cars (like Aston Martin, Porsche, etc) they are geared to better and smarter mechanics. At my dealership, Jaguar is the low end car.

yeh, the first time the dealer did the software update. a couple days later, l engine malfunction light on, took back again and they said engine misfires and cleaned fuel enjectors then a couple days later back on again, now it's been at the dealer since last thursday and they are still trying to find issue and dealing with tech support at jaguar as well. Creaks and Squeaks I could live with but this is not good. thanks for your message!

I am having double thought by tmacguy

I have seen the XF at my local dealer here in Saudi, and loved it. I was already planning on buying XF V8 loaded (we also have a 3.0 V6 available, but real men drive v8). But I read about the problems with great disappointment. I will be replacing a '03 Cadillac CTS which had it share of problems and my other 04 SRX has been in the shop for the last 2 months and still is. I just do not want to do that again, not with a Jaguar.
 
Now I do not know what to do, I love the car and would love to get it. I find it hard to believe that Jaguar would put out such a problematic car.
 
Any words of encouragement?

I think that the problems were with the early models. Obviously there are owners that have not had any of these issues. It is a fabulous car in many ways. I just think a few of them have had issues. Mine is one of them. I am waiting to see how Jaguar resolves my issue, but I am sure there many owners that have no complaints whatsoever.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will be talking to my dealer about these issues and will ask him specifically about a"what if" scenario, even though I know that dealers do not always deliver what they promise. This would be my first non American car. In the past, GM customer services in Dubai have been outstanding with their support and responded to all my quires, GM Middle East is famous for this. So I also need to check on Jaguar customer service responsiveness in the region. Thanks once again.

I am the one with the XF Supercharged with the engine malfunction (3 times since I bought the car) and if it wasn't for this, I would love this car....it's fun to drive, roomy and fully loaded. I have owned BMW,Lexus,Porsche and think that this is a really great car. I just think I got a bad one...Jaguar did send a Systems Engineer to the Dealer where my car is being serviced so if they can fix the problem or replace the car I would be a happy customer....I think I just may have got a bad one or they can't figure out the problem

Starting Over with New XF by donfenn

I originally posted on this thread extolling the virtues of my Jaguar XF....but, I also have posted about creaks and noises, since I have had a serious chronic issue with door creaks and noises.
 
Other than this, my car had no issues with systems or operational components, but the creaking and crackling noises from the door openings was becoming very annoying and problematic. My Jaguar dealer was concerned about this issue and spent much time working on my car. The factory rep and customer service dept also got involved in trying to deal with the issue and offer factory support.
 
However, after many weeks of experimentation, lubrication and adjustment without ever finding a lasting remedy, Jaguar agreed to take me out of my car and got me into a new replacement vehicle. They did this on a voluntary basis, without me having to resort to a Lemon Law attorney. It took a while, but in a very accommodating move Jaguar and my dealer put me into a new Supercharged XF for only a very slight charge over what I was paying on my Premium Luxury....
 
I recently picked up the new car.... I really enjoy the new XF SC, and it seems perfect in every way, and noise free...I hope it stays this way!. No doubt that the larger 20" wheels/tires, and sport suspension on the Supercharged version offers a step up in handling and performance, and the Supercharged powertrain rocks in a big way. I previously had a couple of XJRs so I know the drivetrain, and I am happy to have the extra oomph again!
 
The Supercharged version's ride is firmer, when compared to the Luxury Premium, but still comfortable, smooth, and quiet on most roads. I really enjoy the more sporting feel. After an aggravating situation with a problem car, it was a nice way for Jaguar to "turn a lemon into lemonade" when I ended up with the Supercharged XF for almost the same payment as I had on the original.
 
It seems that there have been a few of us with creaking noise problems, somewhat similar to those I encountered on my original XF, but from what I can tell this malady appears to be isolated among a very small group, and it seems most of these cars were within the first 5000 XF's built. Hopefully, this issue has been remedied.
