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 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.

Replying to: donfenn (Sep 26, 2008 10:15 pm) I'm hoping to be car shopping next year, Jag is on my list both in XF and XK (probably used/CPO) forms. Depends on a number of factors in which direction I go. It's always great to hear real world stories regarding the cars we want/admire/need! Both good and bad reviews... |

Replying to: pjpell (Sep 27, 2008 4:57 pm) I think that my history and connection with the South Bay dealership was key in getting me the attention that I needed since I was not stuck with a service writer, or caught in a service dept. heirarchy in dealing with my XF issues. I dealt with the service manager from day one of the problems with the XF, and they put the shop foreman on my car, who immediately reached out to Jaguar for tech support. By the way, Galpin Jaguar is only about 5 miles from my location and Hornburg is also closer to me than South Bay, but I keep going back to South Bay for great deals, and wonderful support. |
