Wow! Bad luck!
So far I'm at 3-months, 1600 miles, and no real problems.. My biggest issue is the global-close not working on one of the rear windows.. also, it would not start 2-times without doing an engine-reset (according to the manual).. neither of these things really have me concerned..

Sunroof misaligned by about 1/4 inch at the right rear corner. The dealertook two tries to get the adjustment to my liking.
Factory recall for rear seatbelt D rings was done. My car was checked and did not have the fault.
The plastic blanking plug was missing from the emergency access trunk lock on delivery, replaced in five minutes by the salesman ( I am really stretching for faults here).
Shop overfilled the sump by one liter on the first oil change.
Ummmm, the car gets dirty and I have to wash it as it is not self washing....
Ummm, it uses more fuel than my four cylinder cars......
Ummmm......
Have I mentioned how great this car is? It goes, handles, steers and stops brilliantly. The ride is just about perfect even without the CATS, a little firm for a Jaguar but about the same as my X Type Sport. The interior and exterior styling are top in the class and top i some more expensive classes as well.
I only have 5,000 miles on my four month old XF (8,000 km) and I love the darned thing already.

You are kidding, right? The XF has displayed anvil like reliability since its release. Jaguar is enjoying JD Power ratings equal to or better than Lexus, the previous top dog.
Jaguar is building a very good car in the XF with tried and true mechanicals dating back many years but brought up to the minute. You have a reliable V8 prodcuing some of the best power available in the class of car, the suspension is aluminum from the new XK, the floorpan and basic chassis are developed from the S type which has been built for a decade.

Problems... 1 in 8,000miles... Drove from Florida to Maine and Back
The fuel door issue....fixed in 1 hour
Best Car I have ever owned... previously drove a Lexus. I was always a little weary of Jags reputation. NO MORE!!! I have been
following manufacturer for years and have watched reputation rise every Year.
Hmmm maybe Ford did something right before they were sold. Please Remind the Big 3
I absolutely love every aspect of the vehicle.
In conclusion ~ Quality 100%
