I don't think that we can blame Chrysler for making a bad head unit for the radio, but instead Becker for making it. DC gets the blame for choosing it.
I don't think that DC can be blamed for the plastic/polycarbonate in the lens, we can blame them for picking it.
Weird noises in the glove box ?? The noises should be recreateable at the service department so they can hear it, or do they "sense" you brought it in and go "Oh crap he took us to get fixed, everyone be quiet!!"
Electrical shorts ... hmmm ... there should be the telltale odor of melted plastic or wiring. Electrical components have a way of letting you know through our sense of smell that they went bad.
Is it a LEMON ? Doubtful ... it still gets you from point A to point B safely.
Are some of the internal extras DC picked out junk ? Perhaps
FirebaseD, I've been quiet for some time and I think that all the posts above are testament that the cars we chose might not be perfect, (show me something in this world that is), but they are truly unique, flaws and all. I love my XF, I love pampering it, and I love the sound of the engine and exhaust when I jump on it ... most of all, I love the head turning and conversations that crop up - from strangers.
Keep trying to get the "EXTRAS" fixed, but don't call it junk or a lemon because the radio is messed up ... and I know what you are talking about there ... mine chatters/clicks too and doesn't eject the disc at times ... that's not DC's fault.
Viva la Crossfire!
