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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES ON TWO NEW 2010 JAGUAR XFS. AS MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE BEGAN TO RING, THE CAR'S TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE WENT BLANK AND THE HVAC VENTS ROTATED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. I AM NOT SURE IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DOWN AS THE TOUCHSCREEN IMMEDIATELY REBOOTED AND THE VENTS ROTATED BACK OPEN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING, ACCELERATION, OR HANDLING. JAGUAR DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS THEIR PROBLEM. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT MY PHONE IS THE PROBLEM, BUT I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT IT IS AN APPROVED PHONE. I AM GETTING NOWHERE AND FIND IT INTERESTING THAT WHEN RECEIVING A PHONE CALL THAT THE PHONE IS CAPABLE OF TURNING ALL OF THE ABOVE SYSTEMS OFF. CAN SOMEBODY LET ME KNOW IF THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING? *TR
