| This vehicle has been driven only about 26,000 miles. i bought it brand new from manhattan jaguar dealership in bethesda md. and is still under an extended warranty. over the last 7 years that i have owned this car i have had 3 incidents of sudden acceleration. the first happened about two years ago as i came to a red traffic light. i applied the brake and the vehicle slowed down. but then the engine suddenly made a roaring sound and the vehicle began to accelerate. as i was pushing the brake i also pushed the gear to the p and the vehicle stopped about 6 feet beyond the stopping line. the second time i was actually stopped to make a turn and again suddenly the engine made a roaring sound and the vehicle began a sudden acceleration.. my wife was sitting next to me and again i applied the brake and immediately push the gear to p. both of incidents were reported to the dealer to no avail. the last incident happened on january 13, 2011 as i was stopped 5-6 feet from the car ahead of me in a busy traffic. again all the sudden it was a roaring sound and the vehicle began the sudden acceleration despite my pushing on the brake. the distance between me and the front car was too short; so before i could stopped the car, i hit the rear end of the vehicle stopped ahead of me. my insurance paid $725 to fix the damages to the rear bumper of that car. i took the car to the dealer again and they kept it for three days claiming that since they could not replicate the acceleration they could not do anything for me. i also drove the car with one of the dealers staff. the purpose i guess was for me to replicate the acceleration as if the previous cases were done on purpose. this car also had a problem with the side mirrors. they would move as i was driving. after some 10 times complaint, finally they said a gadget under the driver's seat was the culprit and finally took care of | |||
