First two thoughts are battery issue (common cause of random issues - have it tested, cheap to replace). Or maybe fuel pump - a bit more of a hassle

Hang in there dude....let the forum know what codes come up and go from there. Any chance you purchased an extended warranty when you bought the car?
There are a few posts from members who have experienced something similar. Drill down through the posts and you will find a post that is related to your issue. Bad fuel pump seems to be the common variable that fits the issue you are having

Well i had my mechanic look at it and run codes and apparently there is a recall on the ecm for a software update related to the fuel pump but when i called the dealership he said it had nothing to do with the fuel pump ..but my problem is my car wont start so i have no way to get it to the dealership ..

They only need to know if you are under warranty or paying for the repairs yourself. They can do tell you the service history of the car and that is about it. There are lots of certified techs that hang out in here...someone will let you know what that code refers to.

ok. fine. are they taking the car in? If you are in a 2011, that means it is out of factory warranty...recall or no recall, they aren't going to take your car in and fix whatever is wrong with it for free. You are going to have to pay them for the work they do. They will address the software update after your car is running. What exactly do you expect them to do?
If my car had gone out of warranty ...I would be purchasing an extended warranty. You might want to think bout that.

I would go with BritCars initial suggestion and battery first. When my battery went too flat for the car, similar issue to yours occurred. Note the battery might not be flat, but if the XF detects it is below a certain level it will not start and either need charging or replacing.
It is the heaper and quick fix option (if it works) and no harm having a spare battery just in case (I now always keep the spare battery topped up and if the other starts to dip swap and charge.
Hope you sort the issue soon.
