XF Reliability opinions
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I work on all my cars, (Thats the deal I have with my wife for my obsession with jaguars) the only time I have ever gone to a dealership is when I had my xk8 get a front end alignment , I am thinking about getting a XF, I have been looking at 2010 thru 2012, does anybody on the forum have any opinion on if any year is more reliable than the other, I was originally thinking about getting a 2009 because I am very familiar with the 4.2 motors But I think I want to try out a 5.0

We recently purchased our first Jag, a 2009 XF with 41K miles which my wife now refers to as "the money pit." There is evidence that one lower control arm was replaced. So far, we have had the alternator, one rear axle seal, and one electronic rear door lock replaced at around $1,400. It still needs the tire pressure warning system software to be upgraded (getting constant tire pressure warnings). Cosmetic problems that we're going to have to live with are the shrunken and ridged dashboard cover, and the bubbling chrome on some exterior parts. The real kicker: the cost to get a second key is $740.00 (unbelievable)! I love the car, but not having to tell the wife every time it needs more expensive repairs.

Could be that your Tire Pressure transmitters needs replacement in each tire, the batteries in them are only good for on average 6 to 7 years.
