ON 05/02/2012. I WAS PREPARING TO PARK MY 2009 JAGUAR FX, CAME TO COMPLETE STOP... WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, I HAD THE BRAKE ON, I COULD BARELY HOLD IT BACK ,IT JUMPED THE CURB .....I COULD NOT STOP THAT CAR ,IT WAS TRYING TO CLIMB A CHAIN LINK FENCE... THE ONLY THING THAT STOP THE CAR WAS WHEN I HIT THE STEEL POLE...THERE WAS $8,200.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THIS CAR.... MY SON AND I WERE NOT HURT ,BUT WE COULD HAVE BEEN IF IT WOULD HAVE BROKE THUR THAT FENCE... WE WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN A EMBANKMENT AND MIGHT OF HIT A TREE, OR ROLLED OVER.... MY HUSBAND HAD IT TOWED TO JAGUAR DEAL WHERE THEY SAID "THEY COULDN'T FIND A THINK WRONG WITH IT".. NOW, I HAVE THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.... I WILL HAD TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE I HAVE TO MUCH MONEY IN IT ..BUT, I WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN IT EVER AGAIN.... I WILL NEVER PUT THERE LIVES IN DANGER.... PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ONE THESE DEVIL CARS BE CAREFUL AND BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

2010 JAGUAR XKR (NOTE THAT YOUR FORM LATER ONLY ALLOWS AN XF TO BE CLICKED IN ORDER TO PROCEED SO I DID THAT). ON 2-21-10 CAR 1/2 FULL OF GAS. STARTED CAR AND DROVE TWO BLOCKS WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND AMBER ENGINE SYMBOL ("ENGINE MALFUNCTION") LIGHT CAME ON. ABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE (NO POWER STEERING) AND COASTED TO STOP--DOING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TRIED TO START AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TRIED TO START AGAIN A MINUTE LATER AND WAS ABLE TO START AND DROVE BACK TO HOME WHERE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AUSTIN JAG DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND LOW FUEL PRESSURE CODE, BUT WHEN PRESSURE TESTED THEY FOUND NOTHING AND COULDN'T REPLICATE. THEN TOWED TO HOUSTON JAGUAR DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULD NOT REPLICATE SO SAID NOTHING TO REPAIR. OCCURRENCE IN AUSTIN, TX (HOUSTON GARAGED). PREVIOUSLY, TWO WEEKS BEFORE, SMELLED GAS IN CAR WHEN FILLED UP (AGAIN DEALERSHIP COULDN'T SMELL OR FIND A PROBLEM). *TR
