Service Brakes Problems of Jaguar XJ

My 2015 Jaguar Xj , which was in park gear - with engine running, started rolling back on the driveway in a dangerous and unexplained fashion and almost hit my kids and I. There was no-one in the car, and I was able to bring the car to a stop by jumping in and slamming the brakes. The car was rolling, not sliding. The surveillance camera caught this scary moment and you can view that at the link below https://drive. Google. Com/file/d/1_nfuqm9jzbifllvdkf7-h5yu2od6oo0f/view?usp=drivesdk.

As I was going down a slopping street at approximately 30-35 mph, I stepped on the brakes to slow decline but car surged forward, immediately gaining speed up to 58 mph. When I leveled out at the bottom of the hill I was able to pull over to side of road by tapping on the brakes until I came to a complete stop. Second incident happened two days later. While stopped at a stop sign waiting to turn left, car accelerated forward going from 0 to approximately 30 mph barely missing car coming at me from the left. Was in middle of the road before I knew it. Stopped car as before, light repeated taps on brakes. Car is at Jaguar dealership for inspection.
