1st issues with XJL supercharged
Ok, after 1800 miles of driving my 2011 XJL supercharged Nieman Marcus edition what issues have surfaced ? First, let say those have been some glorious driving miles ....
issues:
1) Front passenger side lighted door sill stopped illuminating.
I'm told Jag received a large batch of defective sills from its supplier. They halted the production until problem was fixed and now I wait a week or so for the new one.
2) Sirius sat radio is not able to be activated.
The sat radio when chosen shows up in the main touch screen on channel 184 correctly but none of the preset or other touchscreen buttons appear. The subscription activation fails. The service department says they are researching the problem.
3) I have heard a faint "knock" in the sunroof a couple of times when the car is turned quickly up a short incline like a driveway.
the service manager says this is a known problem with a few cars that were delivered with what sounds like a broken grummet in the sunroof. It will be fixed when the car is delivered for fixing issue number 1) .
Okay, not elated about the issues but still very upbeat about the car. If these are the only issues that arise I'm cool....

What a coincidence--I've got that same knocking in my roof when I turn into my inclined driveway. At first I thought it was an acorn falling on my roof from a tree next to the driveway, but then determined that it was something in the roof. It also occurs occasionally when I just make a sharp turn. Good to know that Jaguar is aware of this and is, hopefully, an easy fix.
I also have a very slight rattle coming from somewhere near the front passenger side dash that is driving me a little crazy. My wife's solution is to turn up the radio, but I think I'll have the dealer try to figure it out!
I have not activated my satellite radio yet and probably will not--I wonder if this is just another glitch in the electronics package.
I'm running neck and neck with you--I've got about 1,700 miles so far and still generally very pleased.

I thought so .... I believe the issue with the sunroof will be pervasive as will be the issue with the illuminating door sills. My appointment is next week on thursday and I will post how things go. I heard a little rattling in the front also like something tapping. I adjusted the seat belt height level at the doorpost and ta da! No more rattles. The roof thing is going to require placement of new spacing grummets. The Sirius radio issue sounds like it will take a cold reboot of the computers.
XJinLA, have you activated your Sirius radio?

Any feedback you can give me on your roof problem repair would be appreciated. My dealer says they have not had any of their new XJ's sold so far come back for this and that Jaguar does not have a bulletin out on it. I would like to talk to your dealer if, in fact, they have determined what causes the problem and how to fix it. The knocking is definitely getting worse and now it occurs almost every time I go over a bump in the road--still coming from the rear, but sometimes passenger side and sometimes driver side.

I am told that the roof knock is definitely a known issue. You can call Jim Tackett, service manager at Jaguar of Tampa (813) 579-2302 and chat with him. My suggestion is to take your dealer for a ride and let them here the noise and then let them tell you how it is not an issue. I am convinced that left unfixed the problem will propagate and could even become a safety issue because the roof integrity may get compromised. The issue with the sat radio wasn't a deal breaker.

Celestial,
Yeah, it's really irritating. My dealer has not tried to get out of fixing it, they just say that they have not seen any bulletins on it or had anyone else complain, including the GM of the dealership that is driving one. They want me to bring it in and have me take one of their mechanics out for a test drive to show him the problem (won't be too difficult since it is happening pretty frequently now). I just want to get as much information for them as I can before they tear into it--I'm going to try and contact your service manager tomorrow. Thanks for the contact info.
