While stopped in the road waiting for another car. With foot on brake, the car suddenly goes full throttle. Driver has both feet applied on the brake and the car still moves forward burning rubber, and then after a few seconds it goes back to idle. The car does this once or twice a year, the last time doing damage to a car in front of it. This is the fifth time this has happened. The car is idling normally with the right foot on the brake and it will just go full throttle all by itself. It has happened enough...

that we know we do not have both the brake and the gas pedal depressed. From doing online research I believe jaguar and toyota / lexus used the same system for controlling acceleration. I replaced the throttle body after the fender bender, it evidently did not help.

2006 Jaguar vdp l wb would not exceed over 10 mph and warning lights illuminated on the dash. Experienced two massive fuel leaks. *Kb the dealer claimed they replaced a seal to fix the fuel leak, however 2 weeks later the fuel leak resurfaced. The dealer then stated the left fuel pump flange was still leaking and the fuel tank was warped. The problem with the vehicle not accelerating over 10 mph was due to a loose mass air flow sensor connector. The tire monitor was faulty. *Jb

whole new engine. I called madison and jag and told them I didn't want a rebuilt car I wanted a new car . They all decided I should let them replace the motor. After they did approx 2 wks ago (warren henry) they returned it and left the work order in it. Work order states that jaguar sent the wrong engine so mechanic asked what to do. He was told to strip my old engine and take parts off new and rebuild. It states that he drained the oil and "it was black like a 5000 mile change hadn't been done". My car is new ---it only had 1000 miles . There were engine parts left in the trunk and the trunk is all ripped apart and the engine cover is missing the battery cover isn't there- its a wreck and is also scratched all over. Now madison says they will pick it up next week but they don't tell me what they will do. I'm still paying the lease payments and I'm scared to even drive the car. Please help me. *Jb
