MY JAGUAR XK 2007'S ACCELERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK IN THE ON POSITION. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 10-20 MILES ON HOUR WHEN I PUNCHED THE GAS PEDAL TO ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED. I THEN APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I THEN PUSHED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AND SHIFTED INTO SPORTS MODE AND DOWNSHIFTED. AT SOME POINT THE ACCELERATOR MUST OF DISENGAGED AS I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE APPROACHING INTERSECTION. THANK GOD, NO ONE WAS HURT AND I DID NOT HAVE TO CRASH THE CAR TO STOP. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY 5 WEEKS AGO. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR NOW FOR 3 DAYS AND HAVE NOT GIVEN ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHY THIS OCCURRED. *TR
