I've owned my 2011 XF for about a month and the only real issue I'm having is very a number of annoying and noticeable rattles from the headliner and or sunroof and occasional rattles from somewhere in the rear.The car is at the dealer now (day3 - waiting for a +/- cruse control switch to come in) and I'm hoping they can find and fix the rattles. Hard to describe the noise but if I tap on the headliner I seem to be able to get a similar noise like there is something loose in there. The road doesn't need to be very rough for the rattling to start - it happens on any road condition. I only have 3600 miles on the car. These rattles really take away some of the enjoyment and pride of owing and driving this car. I'm really disappointed that I have to deal with this. I can live with some minor electrical things going wrong but not annoying rattles. This is my 3rd jag so I knew I may encounter a few issues here and there but I did have higher expectations around the XF build quality especially since this was the 3rd model year.

Anyone else having any issues with rattles and were you able to get these sorted out.

Thanks

 

I've had a few rattles crop up over the last year... each time, the dealer remedied the issue completely. Don't worry.... the sunroof tends to rattle and needs constant lubrication. The headliner clips have to be adjusted and replaced.

 

I would replace the seal around the sunroof glass. Also the sunroof assembly bolts have been known to loosen up over some time causing a rattle, so.... That's where I would start. There is also blocks that are suppose to be put next to the rear headliner clips that you said have been replaced. There is a TSB about the blocks.

 

There is a tech note on the Jag tech website advising dealers that if door rattles occur to investigate the window cable which sometimes vibrates against the internal door panel. My local dealer cured mine for me at the last service.

Were they able to resolve the issues? Our 2011 XF also has a rattle in the headliner or sunroof. I am planning to take it in to the dealer when I get a chance.

 

They appear to have removed the rattle in the door liner. According to the dealer they repositioned the window winder cable.

 

YES - They were finally able to fix the rattles - It took 2 visits to the dealer before they got it right but It's so nice to have a rattle free Cat - makes a huge difference - feels and sounds like a Jag again!!. Looks like they replaced some of the headliner clips and bolts - Here's the parts list that was on the invoice -

3 C2Z11575 CLIP-RETAINING
3 C2Z11576 CLIP-RETAINING
4 C2D3465 CLIP-TRIM
4 C2Z11346 RETAINER
4 C2D2245 BOLT & WASHER

Good luck - Hope you can get your's sorted out.

 

Thanks. Now I'll know what to tell them to look for when I take it in.
