1. SPEED CONTROL (MOTION): CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HITS ROAD PATCHES/BUMPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW; 2. LEATHER ON DASHBOARD (STATIONARY & MOTION): CAR IS GARAGED IN NY, METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND USED OCCASIONALLY, YET THE LEATHER ON THE DASHBOARD WARPED/RIPPLED -- NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR A JAGUAR; RECENTLY, I SPENT ALMOST $ 1,000 FOR WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REMOVED/REPLACED TO REPAIR. NOW LOOKS WORN, THOUGH SIGNS OF WEAR REMAIN; 3. USB & COMMUNICATION COMPONENTS IN MIDDLE DASH DEPT (STATIONARY AND MOTION): THESE SYSTEMS FAILED FEW WEEKS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. IN THESE DAYS, VERY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO USE, BUT JAGUAR DEALER SAID VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. 4. SUNROOF GASKET (STATIONARY & MOTION): GASKET STARTED FAILING FEW YEARS AGO, BUT FINALLY REACHED EXTENT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. MY PROFESSIONAL UPHOLSTERY REPAIR PROVIDER REPORTED THE REPAIR REQUIRED AN ENTIRE SUNROOF SYSTEM REPLACEMENT ($1,000), WHICH IS VERY NON-SENSIBLE. THEY INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AND NOW SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE WHILE DRIVING, BUT RATHER EMITS LOUD "FLUTTERING" SOUND AND SHAKES THE VEHICLE; 5. WINDOWS (MOTION): AS YOU ARE AWARE I'M SURE, OPENING PARTIAL REAR WINDOWS INDUCES VIOLENT SHAKING THROUGHOUT VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PRESENT IN ORIGINAL DESIGN OF VEHICLE. 6. RUNNING LIGHTS (MOTION): THIS VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH NO RUNNING LIGHTS, SO I TRIED TO FIND GARAGE TO INSTALL, FOR SAFETY REASONS. JAGUAR SERVICE REPAIR PROVIDERS AND OTHERS SAID VEHICLE DESIGN PROHIBITS ABILITY TO INSTALL RUNNING LIGHTS. 7. HORN (STATIONARY AND MOTION): I'M SIMPLY POINTING TO FACT THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR ROARS LIKE A LION, YET HAS WIMPY HORN SOUND!

Is 106 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2009 and 2025, roughly 7 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2010 has 106 complaints on file, more than the 2011 (80). That is the most of the 6 model years of the Jaguar XF we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
