| With my brakes applied and slowing to a stop at the bottom of an interstate exit ramp, my car seemed to jerk and then suddenly accelerated as if it was trying to go into passing gear. i immediately pressed the brakes as hard as possible and shifted into neutral so i could stop and avoid hitting the car in front of me. while in neutral, the engine kept reving and the tachometer was in the red. i turned the engine off to keep from damaging it and put the car in park. after the car in front of me had gone, i started my car to see if the engine would run properly. it seemed to be okay, so i carefully drove to my home which was about three more miles. several weeks prior, i had a similar incident when i was partking at the grocery store, but i was in the process of turning off the engine. when i started the car to leave the grocery store, everything seemed to be okay and i didn't think any more of it. i found several other people on line that have experienced the same problem but none of them could prove it to their dealer and nothing was done about it. i guess it will take someone getting killed before anything gets done about this sudden acceleration problem with the 2006 jaguar x-type. this incident has upset me and i am afraid to drive this car, but i don't have another vehicle to drive. | |||

| On two separate occasions in 2006 and 2007, oem continental touring tires 225/45r17 on my 2006 jaguar x-type sport sedan suffered spontaneous, catastrophic blow out failure under what should have been nominal operating conditions. {i-95, i-495, clear dry pavement, speed below 80 mph]. since those events, remaining tires have exhibited sidewall bulging and other evidence of cord separation. today (12/26/2008) while visiting safety website, learned of at least 50 similar spontaneous failures of same product, which is also oe tire on mercedes c300 and bmw 3 series sedans. this seems to be more than coincidence. *tr | |||
