Accelerator Stuck Problems of Jaguar XJ6

Accelerator pedal appeared to stick. When pedal was released, engine did not throttle down, resulting in revs remaining at previous level, and speed unchanged. When driven on the highway, this means that speed remains at 55 even when accelerator pedal is not depressed. Sometimes, runaway acceleration occurs. I took vehicle to my mechanic. He rebuilt the throttle body. Problem unsolved. He then did some research and found that there was a defective design for the 1996 throttle body, which was subsequently changed. He installed the new design, and the problem went away. I reported it to Jaguar USA. They said because the vehicle was out of warranty, there was nothing they could do, but they would send me $100 "boutique dollars" as a gift. Incident date is approximate.

Accelerator sticks. This has been repeatedly reported to the service department that services my car and I reported it to Jaguarusa. This is a serious issue that needs attention for Jaguar to fix. Via my research there was a recall for 1997 models via the NHTSA but not for the 96 models. Please assist in this matter.

While driving at various speeds accelerator pedal stuck, causing sudden acceleration. Also, egr valve and other engine parts were replaced several times by the dealer, but problems still occurring .

This is a safety hazard. Dealer acknowledges this is ongoing in Jaguars until corrected in 2001. Often there is no response to pressure on the gas pedal and then suddenly the car will jump forward. Problem with gas pedals sticking not disclosed at time of purchase. Dealership says maint. Needed every 5000-1000 miles. We had the problem addressed 10 months ago and only drove the carr approx. 2200 miles since. We were not told this needed regular maint. We were told that the part was cleaned and should be okay. Never would we have purchased a car knowing that there was a chronic safety problem with the gas pedal sticking. Every service rep. We spoke to aknowledges that they have handled hundreds of these problems. Why wasn't there a recall or disclosure?.
