1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2011

I purchased the 2009 Jaguar Xf supercharge and I had multiple stalls in this vehicle , where it would stop working and the reading board would read default system and would not start from anywhere to 2-20 minutes. I took the vehicle in of course several times and they only indicated it one time on one invoice, even though I had the recurring issue with this car. I finally took a video and gave it to the Jaguar shop in walnut creek (european Jaguar), and they sent the video to the manufacture. I was contacted by letter by the manufacturer saying sorry for your trouble. I also spoke to [xxx] my advisor who explained that the manufacture new the problem. Nothing seemed to fix this issue and finally on may 3, 2011, I was traveling on 580 westbound and the car exploded into flames. I escaped but with injuries to the right wrist and right knee, and left ankle, needing surgery and ptsd. I was told that my vehicle had the same type of 2010 models that were recalled, as to the gas flange /gas tank system, that could be related. I, however want to make a complaint because for the safety of others and if my children who were in the vehicle earlier that morning at 7:50 am , they would have ended in two deaths, likely three trying to rescue them. The explosion occurred at approximately 10;30 a. M. On may 3, 2011. I would like to thank you for your time and cooperation in taking the complaint. I can forward photos and anything else you would require if needed. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
