Bought my XF first year it came out in Canada (2009).
Have to admit there were a few glitches that same year.
Driver seat window problem: Goes up and then retracts an inch (to let the rain in ;).. fixed at no cost
Front and rear window lamination problem. (replaced at no cost)
Integrity of dashboard: brushed metal corners popping out. (fixed at no cost)
Wood trim crack (replaced.. no cost)
Sunroof fixture came loose (fixed for free) ... got drenched in a pressure car wash once.
Differential jammed (replaced at no cost) at 30,000 km (recognized defect). Gotta admit that was a scary incident.
AM Radio tuner busted.. (fixed free)
Fuel Cap refused to open (replaced free)
Front light jet spray lost its cover (ice buildup)
Random ceiling touch lights turning on and off. Usually in summer. (Module replaced no cost)
.... some kid kept stealing my Jaguar logo plastic mag caps :(
Last three years have been trouble free. Beyond the initial glitches this is an awesome car and drive !!
Would never trade it for a creaking plastic noisy BMW (at least those made in Canada) in a million years.
I give it a 4 teddy rating out of 5!
