I am very dissapointed with the build quality, reliability, and overall feel of my NEW XF. Here are my problems:

-Paint imperfections from date of delivery noticed, no action taken on dealers part.
-Rims have curb rash, noted from date of delivery.
-Significant exhaust fumes in cabin, unsafe to drive my XF.
-Engine consumes oil, about 1 quart every 3-4 weeks
-White exhaust smoke when accelerating
-Tried to turn on the radio, smelled burning, turned out to be an electrical fire behind the dash.
-Apparently the sport shift mode involves the use of the window switch to shift either up or down, I've had better experiences with my daughters Cavalier

Also, various engine components have stickers on them reading "made in Mexico". I didn't pay 50k + to have some ape build my car.

Also, the supercharged v8 is not as powerful as say a v6 Cadillac or any competing v6 from Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes, etc. Yesterday, I floored the throttle from a light with the intent of burning by a CTS, only to feel a dismal performance on the Jaguars part as the CTS BLAZED past me. Since when does a 263hp v6 destroy a v8? I was with friends at the time, and they were laughing at me as the Cadillac passed by. It was very embarrassing. I also drove my fathers IS350 which is considerably more powerful than this "supercharged" v8. Since when does a supercharger look like an eggbeater hastily stretched over the intake pipe.

I felt more confident on the onramp in my daughters Cavalier (a vehicle which I THOROUGHLY hate, I might add), at least it didn't feel like the backend was going to give out.

I am truly proud of Jaguar as this proves to be their FINEST machine yet, unfortunately it leaves me with a black eye (service manager punched me in the face), and out of $50k. The brake pedal was completely unresponsive, and the gears WOULD NOT engage when shifting from park to drive. Reverse was the same thing as neutral. Talk about Chrysler and their transmission issues, at least in a Chrysler your lungs don't collapse due to a connecting rod flying out of the block and puncturing your lungs.

If anybody can help me with this situation please PM me.[:@]

 

thanks for the help douchebag...way to represent a forum that needs some respect, as the cars are evidently SHITTY, you'd think the people might be a little more respectful and helpful
