Guys,
I have a 2011 XJL. Recently, I've been hearing this cracking noise in my steering when i turn. I took it in, and apparently, the issue is with the upper strut mount.
My concern is why are they having to replace the strut mount at 23,000 miles? Is their possibly something else going on? Prior to this, I owned a Lexus, and the only thing i ever changed was brake pad and rotors. Maybe I'm being a little paranoid but i think it's too early..Any thoughts??

A number of other possibilities, but I think the most important thing to realize here is that Jag is taking care of you. Also, Lexus has problems too...maybe not in your case but hey have their horror stories too.
Have you ever heard of a Jaguar accelerating on its own without being able to stop it?

And you are correct, it's good that Jaguar took care of him replacing the mount. Better safe than sorry.

I assume you are referring to the ES300 crash that started the media bashing of Toyota/Lexus because a CHP officer (I think) died in the crash and he didn't know how to turn off the car. That crash was determined to be caused by the dealer installing a 2nd set of floor mats on top of the factory mats. The 2nd set of mats got caught in the accelerator pedal. Not exactly the fault of Toyota's design, IMO.
