Equipment Problems of Jaguar S-type

While driving and making a left hand turn at slow speed ,I tried to use my brakes but my car accelerated. There were 2 pedestrians on the opposite side of the street. To avoid hitting them, I swerved to the curb and immediately turned off my ignition. One of the pedestrians said my front tires locked and my rear tires were spinning. Fortunately, I was driving in my private street located in a townhouse community. I could have easily killed someone. Very scary! the car is now at my mechanics. I am afraid to drive this vehicle. 02.

I was pulling into a stall at the treasure coast mall when we heard a loud thud when I got out to see what it was I seem that the tire was leaning in and pushed under the fender. I then had to call a tow truck and found out later that the left front ball joint completely snapped off and the right side was badly worn and loose and also had to be replaced. I just hate to think what would happen if that would have happend on the highway me and my wife were very shaken up. The car only has 47000 + which seems really strange for this to happen.

My 2003 Jaguar S-type was recalled in 2004, recall #42036 (r513) power train: automatic transmission. I purchased my Jaguar as the second owner 1 1/2 years ago. I have had trouble with the car. For instance when I attempt to pass another vehicle on the highway and try to speed up the transmission slows the car down significantly. If I am traveling at 55 m. P. H and accelerate the car will immediately slow to about 30 m. P. H or less. It is very scary! and could result in a crash (as the warning stated on the recall)! the repair shop ran a computer diagnostic on my car. The code on the computer states "the transmission needs re-programming of the transmission control module as the transmission is slipping into neutral under load. " the shop said there was an open recall on the car and the dealer needs to update the computer software to correct the problem. The car has no stickers saying recall service was ever done on it. The dealer said they cannot perform the service under the recall as the recall as there is no open field action on my vehicle although there is a currently open campaign. The dealer stated the manufacturer has the recall listed as completed. In contacting the manufacturer opened an investigation stating the recall was completed 03/09/05. 4 days later Jaguar called back and said they need a letter or email from NHTSA stating tread's recommendation to manufacturers to "diagnose the impairment, thus nullifying further recurrence of the impairment. " are you able to assist me by giving me something in writing to give to the Jaguar manufacturer explaining their responsibility in correcting a recall as stated in the transportation recall enhancement accountability and documentation (tread) act ? if the recall problem with my car was completed it was not done correctly as the car is repeating the same dangerous problem. Thank you or your assistance!.

Climate control ignores all input (on/off/temp adj. /fan contrl). Car must be turned on and off to restore normal operation (see also odi complaint 10013808). Problem has not been resolved by dealer after 4 attempts. Diagnostics show nothing. Per dealer, Jaguar is aware of this problem, but no further information available. 5-1-03@2,125mi; 6-23-03@3,600mi; 10-20-03@4,759mi.
