1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2015

This is not the first time that it happened. It happened once before, but I don't know what the date was or the mileage. However, I do remember that it happened in November, 2013. On April 21, 2015, I was leaving a store. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I had to stop to make sure there was not any traffic in the highway before leaving, but there was a truck approaching. I tapped the brakes and the car took off in the highway right in front of the truck. Luckily the driver of the truck saw me and applied his brakes. This could have been a tragedy. Now for the first occasion, I was in the inside lane of a major highway and was trying to stop for a red light. I started to brake and the car took off. I had to switch over in the outside lane so that I wouldn't rear end the car in front of me. I was lucky this time because there wasn't any traffic in the outside lane. Now I am afraid to drive the car because I know it is a death trap. I do not want to hurt myself or anyone else on the highway. I need some help now! I don't know what to do! I just purchased the car in April, 2013. There needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt or killed. It is a beautiful car, but as I said before, "it is a death trap"!.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2014

The contact owned a 2006 Jaguar X-type. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was applied. As a result, the contact crashed the vehicle into a wall. The passenger side dashboard air bag was the only air bag that deployed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained two broken ribs, lacerations that required stitches, and bruises to the eye and body that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2014

I was travelling on the freeway at 55 mph, as I exited and touched the brakes the car would not slow down, the car gained speed, I pumped the brakes and the car continued to go faster, the car was out of control and crashed into a wall. I was seriously injured and fortunately no one else or other vehicle was involved. I am lucky to be alive. Just prior to impact I turned the wheel to the left causing the car to hit the right front first then the car flipped over. Only the passenger side air bag deployed. The brakes were fairly new with 70% brake lining remaining and the brakes had been inspected one week prior to the accident. It appears to be a combination speed acceleration and brake failure.
