| Service Brakes problems |
Upon entering garage of home, while pressing on brakes preparing to park, engine accelerated forcing car to crash into a ladder in front of concrete wall; although husband pushed full force on brakes, the car seemed to race forward. No one was hurt, front right bumper plastic panel popped off. Earlier on same day, while slowing down for traffic, although I pushed on brakes, car did not seem to respond. I was able to maintain control of car since I was traveling at low rate of speed.
The contact leased a 2006 Jaguar Xj8. When attempting to stop the vehicle at 5 mph, the engine suddenly accelerates. The contact was able to avoid four near crashes. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic and the brakes were replaced. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the diagnostic was unable to produce a failure code. The manufacturer is analyzing the computer data. The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 20,000. Updated 09/15/08 updated 09/18/08.
