general problems of the 2007 Jaguar XK

Vehicle is equipped with a keyless start option. On two occasions within 3 days, the car would not stay running when the start button was depressed. On each occasion, after 5-6 attempts at starting the engine, each time the engine would stall when the transmission was placed in either d or r. After waiting approximately 5 minutes, the car would start and operate normally. Both times the vehicle was driven to dealer service and each time the technician would note "no problem found-could not duplicate problem. " in both instances, technician reprogrammed all keys. In the second instance, the technician replaced the batteries in all keys. The problem has not recurred.
