Beware! bought the 09 XF Premium in June 2008 and drove it brand new fully load off the showroom floor. Gorgeous car and was so excited about my XF. However started having problems 6 months later in Dec 08 after taking it in for a scheduled maintenance. Just two weeks later after that maintenance started having all types of problems: (Fuel light on, Knocking/rev-ving noise,). Of course thought I was in the clear and that the problem was fixed by my dealership then I had to bring the car back a second time a month later in Jan 09 for same fuel problems and more. This time (very hard time pumping gas in car, Dash display language changed to foreign words)…Well this second time of round my dealership said they found the problem that my fuel had a kink in it and that’s what caused the problem. Well fast forward back to square one again same car issues just took my car back today on May 20, 2009. I am a disappointed Buyer and now I don’t want the car anymore that’s 3 occasions now I had to bring the car in, communicating with my dealership on finding a resolution! Very frustrated! On top of that received very bad customer service from my dealership here in Riverside alot of headaches.

| Will see if the '10 model clears out some of the first model year bugs of the '09's that many have already been mentioned. I've owned a good number of makes and models over the years but have seen few of these XF's on the road which makes it even more appealing. The ones I have seen look much better 'in person' than in photos, etc. I'm searching out over the various networking sites (Jag specific forums, LinkedIn, etc.) on info about Chicago area Jag dealer and Jag mechanic ratings as if I do decide this route I want it to be as good an experience as possible. Over in the Luxury Lounge Edmunds forum, some discuss the XF but as this forum is more specific we'll see what others have experienced. It will not be my only car so I'm willing to deal with the minor stuff (to a point) but stuff should get fixed on the first try and of course even buying one should not be regretful! I'll be combing the archives for Chicago dealer Jag experiences but more specifically the service issue stuff as I think I'll do fine on the purchase/lease with so many Jag dealers around here that compete with other. I can offer dealer feedback for Mazda, VW, Dodge and as of late MB/smart (wife's commuter car) but Jaguar is a much different 'animal' (pardon the pun). With all of the favorable press hopefully Jaguar is heading in the right direction with its new owners. | |

| New Xf with less than 3000 mis. The engine seems to make ALOT of noise eminating from the rear. Maybe it's not the engine but the drive train. Anyone else with similar problem? It sounds very whiny. | |

Replying to: jjgallagher (Nov 18, 2008 8:37 pm) Would also be interested in hearing from anyone else who has had their XF for some time. Any issues? I've had an XJ8 for 10 years (love the car despite the $$ maintenance). It's time for a new car. Nothing is wowing me except for the XF (I've looked at Mercedes, BMW, etc.) I'm a little reluctant to to get the XF given it's a new model though--no data on reliability. Would appreciate all input to get me off the fence.

Replying to: jag_gal (Jun 08, 2009 4:48 pm) No problems so far except a minor recall for the fuel filler door which was easily fixed by the dealer during my oil change. I would absolutely buy it again. Oh, and I have 8k miles on it. |

| The owners manual says NO ETHANOL !! If used it may void your warranty. Where can you go anymore that doesnt have at least 10% ethanol in the gas?? Can you put an additive in your tank if your forced to use this crap they pedal as "good for the enviroment", that protects your car? | |

Replying to: hush (Jul 07, 2009 9:16 pm) There is no additive which could remove the ethanol or protect a fuel system not designed for 10% ethanol in gasoline. The harmful effects of up to 10% ethanol gasoline on the fiberglass and epoxy resin fuel tanks of boats is well known. Marinas reportedly supply ethanol-free gasoline. Could you quote the specific reference ( giving page, section and year model) in the Jaguar manual which states "NO ETHANOL"?
