Now It's Over!

You're right they could have replaced all the electrical systems in that time. I forgot to add that the dealer did finally agree to have corporate help them. They said they worked with a field engineer. So not entirely this dealer's fault. Even with corporate help there is still no resolution to this. The thing is I love this car. I dont want to replace it even with the same model. I can't find this color combo anywhere. If they still made it I would just order the same. So I would keep it even with the problems. It's still totally drivable. I just hope that they would offer a very fair byout price.

Didn't you get the "Gorgeous" campaign in the US? They seemed to be constantly on TV here in NZ in around 2007:

This may or may not be relevant, but just a question to you folks. Are you locking the car while it is in your garage at night, and/or while not being used? I was told that if the car remains unlocked, it is continually searching for the key fob (for up to a distance of 30 feet or so) and therefore creating a drain on the battery.
We have yet to experience any issues with my wife's XF, but we did start locking it about a month ago. After my XKR shows up, I'll be interested to see if there will be any problems with it's system. The battery tender is a good idea for any car.

Here's hoping this thread now dies a peaceful and overdue death:-)

It also doesn't continuously search for a key. It looks for one when it is locked and you pull on the door handle or try and open the tailgate on a car with passive entry but the range is only one meter.
It will also check to see if a key is in the vehicle when you open and close the tailgate while the rest of the car is locked. If it detects a key inside the car it will sound an error warning and the tailgate will remain unlocked.
