Had a few problems with my new XF which I got in April 08. Just came across this great website forum so I thought I would share my problems!
Alarm was constantly sounding while car locked. \after a number of trips back to the dealer it was traced to a faulty card/microswitch in the passenger door lock mechanism. Jag replaced the card and all is fine now.
I have had many problems with vibration and shudder around and above 70mph. I have the 18 inch wheels. Jag dealer said there is no problem and even took me out in another XF which I had to admit was worse than mine. I have had the wheels balanced twice and although the shudder has improved it is still there. I have done 15,000 miles and my rear tyres are nearly ready fro changing so I hope that solves it, independent garage who balanced tyres says that the tyres are faulted as heavily imbalanced, but Jag dealer says not.I also have large scores in offside rear disc. Jag dealer showed me technical publication (known Jag problem) to say that this is safe and will be replaced at future service
Very happy with car, previously had BMW530D which had a better engine than the Jag, and had less problems, but the Jag interior is far better and the car is far better looking.
