This vehicle has left me stranded with my family multiple times with out being able to pull over on the side of the road. It's had so many coolant leaks, hoses bust, and a hand full of coolant leaks in the whole system. The jaguar dealership has worked on vehicle multiple of times without any success. The vehicle while driving didn't even warn me the coolant was low. When I pulled over and opened the hood, it busted of the coolant cap on its own and coolant was busting out everywhere cause it to leak on me.

car and wall is approximately 20- 22 feet, the damage in the car was a total due to the unintentional and uncontrollable acceleration induced high speed [picture is attached]. Moreover, she hits her upper front chest to the steering wheel and the air bag of the car comes after the impact. Therefore, she had sternum and rib fractures by the chest x-rays and chest ct images from the houston imaging lab. These fractures are very painful and causing a significant loss of her quality of life. We believe that this unfortunate accident may be related to the mechanical failures of her 2017 jaguar xe with uncontrollable acceleration & malfunctioning air bag. Our car insurance comp., The state farm is planning to review the "black box" from the car for further documentation. We would like to inform your office .Regarding this car's safety defects to prevent similar life-threatening events.
