I purchased a 2011 xf the last day of july 2010. During the test drive and during the first week, the car hesitates (feels like it is running out of gas) and there appears to be grinding under the acceleration pedal. Within weeks, the engine stumbled and stalled. These incidents occur without warning and are dangerous; could cause an accident. Updated ivoq 10/08/10 *tr
