Anyone have trouble with the alrm going off occasionally for no reason?

 

only when i try to open the door without the keyfob in my pocket..

..getting rid of all the neighborhood cats might help..

 

Have dealer look at last alarm activations. Can see if faulty door or trunk latch.

 

Thanks. Will do. Didn't realize they could get this data.

Another quirk I've noticed is that twice now (over a period of three months) when shifting from P to D, there's no engagement of the transmission. Another switch to P and back toD and no problem.

 

It is all shift by wire. If this is happening, let dealer know. If it is common, there will be a software update coming.

 

Does the XF have ultrasonic interior sensors? My Audi had these and I would have my alarm go off if anything in the car fell or moved even a 1/4 of an inch. My tollbooth pass consistently fell off of my windshield 3 times a week and set my alarm off every time..

 

As far as the alarm going off for no reason I haven't experienced this problem but make sure your not pressing the panic button on the remote by mistake while its in your pocket maybe when you lean up against something. I have accidentally unlocked the doors like this. The remote has a pretty decent range.

As for the transmission not shifting into drive make sure you press the brake pedal all the way in because the car wont let you shift otherwise its a safety feature that is explained in the manual I have played with this a little and just pushing the brake in a little causes it not to shift you have to firmly press it.

Hope this helps.
