Electronic Stability Control problem

While approaching a stop sign and applying my brakes the car involentaraly accelerated on to incoming traffic. The car was reving at high speed and could not be stopped. I had both feet on the brakes but car was not responding . I headed toward high curb avoiding cars and pedestians in hopes of slowing car before I was to hit dipsey dumpster ,on the side of the road (I had chosen to hit them in order to avoid involving other cars and pedestrians) when I hit the curb at high rpms , the impact damaged the right front wheel and under carriage of automobile. The acceleration stopped . It was a terrifying experience. This malfunction has been registered by other drivers. Of Jaguars. It is a safety issue that Jaguar needs to address. I am lucky that I did not kill anyone or had serious injuries to my passengar and myself.
