1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2007

Jaguar 2005 Xj vdp has experienced many episodes of unintended acceleration during braking to a stop. As brake is applied, the engine throttles up and car cannot be completely stopped. When car is quickly shifted to neutral and braking maintained, the engine revs over 10,000 rpm and the ignition must be cut in order to stop the episode. On one occasion the car could not be stopped at a busy intersection, forcing an urgent lane change and right hand turn to avoid accident. Jaguar has "reprogrammed computer" on car with a reduction in frequency of the episodes for about 6 months, however problem now occurs several times/month.
