Jaguar XF is a good car. In fact, many would agree that it’s more than a good car. True luxury is associated with the name. The XF has won many awards in the past (the Design Award at the Autocar Awards 2007, the What Car? Car of the Year 2008 and the Best Executive Car the same year, as well as the Best Luxury Car and Best Diesel in the 2008 Scottish Car of the Year Awards). All these are proof to the Jaguar XF quality.

However, just recently, there have been news of small quality defects in several Jaguar XFs. These troubles might be small—a faulty window regulator here, a damaged differential there—but the frequency of their appearance are already starting to arouse questions and doubts regarding the XF.

Last December, I posted about a Jaguar XF recall (twice that month) because of a faulty seatbelt d-ring and an electrical problem. I haven’t heard of any recall that followed after that, but there are reports about Jaguar XF owners experiencing trips to dealers far more than the owners of other automobiles.

So what’s up with the XF?
