4 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem of the 2011 Jaguar XF

Failure Date: 11/27/2011

I was on highway with my family travelling 60 mph when the car suddenly accelerated. . I took my foot off the gas and the speed failed to decrease. I applied the brakes which did work but the engine still continued to race. . The brakes overtook the acceleration and slowed the car but each time I took my foot off the brakes the car resumed accelerating at a high speed( without my foot on the gas. ) I slowed the car by applying with force the brakes which was causing a burning smell probably from the brake pads. I drove the car to the closest shoulder of the highway ( about 1/2 mile) that I encountered at which point I placed the car in neutral while it was still moving slightly while my foot pushing hard against the brake. . While the car was in neutral the engine still continued to race although the car was stationary at that point. I turned off the engine and then waited about five minutes. After five minutes I turned on the engine at which time it was not racing. The car was taken to my Jaguar dealership and left there for three days. A report was sent by the dealer to Jaguar although my dealership was unable to determine the cause of the sudden acceleration.

5 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem of the 2009 Jaguar XF

Failure Date: 09/15/2009

2009 Jaguar Xf - sudden acceleration issue on three separate occasions. Driving about 20 mph and the car accelerated - able to stop the car by pressing down fully on the brakes. It did not respond at first and then something shifted and then the brakes worked. With five minutes, it did it again and the only way to stop the car was to slam it into park. The car was towed into the dealer and the black box information downloaded to the manufacturer. No fault codes found and they could not duplicate the problem. It has since done it one more time and the emergency brake stopped the car. The manufacturer is claiming that both the brake and the gas were depressed at the same time.
