On sept 27, 2013 around 7a.m., I drove my car to the mail box where I pulled over on a road with a slight incline and up on the rounded curb, put it in park, opened the door, walk along the side of the car, crossed in front to retrieve my mail. After getting my mail, when I turned around to go back to the car, I saw it driving forward and crossing the road towards the other side! Instinctively I jumped in the passenger side and was trying to reach the brake pedal when the car hit the curb, throwing me back a bit.
I bought a new used car in la on sept 14 2014. When I drove back to sf on no5 highway on sept 15 2014 about 1 am .the back left wheel started caught fire when I was driving normally.
Driving jaguar xf and hood bonnet opened at 45 miles an hour on its own. Destroyed winds shield and the body around the windshield causing almost 2 accidents emotional stress and the inconvenience of not having a car to get to my promotion meeting. Pulling up on a highway. The harlingen cops were called made it to my home and the cop made no notes and just gave us a incident number.
I was driving near FM 1960, my steering was very stiff and the car turned off while driving. I had it towed across town to my moms house which was closer than my home. The car has been towed to jaguar where they have stated this malfunction is not recall related. They were rude and non helpful. We believe this malfunction is ibdeed recall related.
