Certainly sounds like you got a bad one - did you have it from new? If not, you may be suffering from the original owner's abuse. Mine has been very reliable, just a weepy diff seal and the cargo hatch falling off its pins. And my three Jags that preceded the F-Type were equally reliable. Maybe I'm just lucky!

mine is probably the highest milage here. 100K Miles (160,000KM).
Had tons of issues, but all fixed under warranty, and the car is still under warranty:
-Steering column replaced (ticking noises while steering was going up and down)
-ZF8 changed, because there was an issues that JLR couldn't put their fingers on
-Differential replaced (grinding issues)
-Rear drive shaft replaced
-Supercharge rattles, I think they replaced the housing for that
-Coolant low issues, pipe or radiator replaced, dont know which tbh...
-AC motor replaced, car was making a noise while switching on/off ac
-Cluster changed, it had some humidity inside
-Exhaust changed, due to valve issues
-Catalysts converter changed
-Side mirrors dimming stopped working, so they had to redo wiring
-Engine mounts and bushes changed due to clicking noises while turning steering wheel
-roof outliner fell, and did not get this fixed yet, and it is not covered under warranty
I dont know if I missed anything...but let me tell you something, this car is a money pit, and is not worth getting without warranty
I am considering getting rid of the car very soon, and get something perhaps a tad bit more reliable, maybe an LC500 or a Porsche

Given that all the items (except the last) were dealt with under warranty, your car has not actually been a "money pit", has it? And by 100,000 miles or 160,000 kms some repair work would be expected on any car of this class, including the vaunted Porsche or Lexus. If you doubt that, a perusal of their forums might be enlightening. Not trying to deny your frustration, but the experience of most owners does not mirror yours.
