In the just over 3 years that I have owned this car I have had 2 incidents where the car accelerates and engine races when braking at a low speed making a turn on a side street. I try to bring the to a stop but it is very difficult to do as the brakes are not fully stopping the car and both times I had to put the car in park quickly in other to completely stop it which brought it to a jerking halt. There is some defect in this model as I have seen numerous similar stories on a Jaguar problems website. This is a very serious problem and I was lucky both times to be on side streets as a serious accident was avoided as I it took me a few seconds to bring the car to a stop as I did not have full control of car. I took the car to my local Jaguar in glen cove NY in July and they could not replicate the incident and had no idea what the problem was. Like I said at the beginning this only happened twice in 3 years but I only drive 1000 to 2000 miles a year and to tell you the truth I am afraid to drive the car too much as I might hit another car or a person if it happens again. The 2004 Jaguar x types should be recalled as others have had this same problem with no solutions.
