UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT AUGUST 5, 2010 I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR, IT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT. AUGUST 6, 2010 AT 12:15PM I DROVE FROM MY APARTMENT TO THE PEBBLE BEACH LODGE PARKING LOT (APPROX. 5 MILES AND 10 MINUTES). AT 4:15PM AND AFTER A LONG LUNCH AT THE LODGE I DROVE MILE TO MY BANK PARKING LOT NEAR THE LODGE. I WENT TO THE BANK AND THE PEBBLE BEACH MARKET NEARBY. AT 5PM I DROVE HOME, I WAS DRIVING ON AN ASPHALT PAVED ROAD IN PEBBLE BEACH AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH AND LIGHTLY APPLIED THE BRAKE (ONLY) AROUND A CURVE AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD (EG, VIGOROUSLY ACCELERATED). I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES, I WAS STARTLED AND LET THE CAR COAST FOR A FEW FEET, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON PEBBLE BEACH DRIVE AT THAT TIME. I RESUMED THE DRIVE HOME, AND I WAS VERY MUCH ALERT AND AWARE AND VERY CAREFUL, I APPLIED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT INCIDENT AND STOPPED AT TWO STOP SIGNS BEFORE I APPROACHED THE THIRD STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES LATER, AS I NEARED A 4 WAY STOP INTERSECTION, I SLOWLY I APPLIED THE BRAKES A NORMAL DISTANCE BEFORE THE INTERSECTION, BUT AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE THE INTERSECTION, THE CAR LURCH FORWARD AND I INSTANTLY PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL (ONLY, NOT THE GAS PEDAL) AND MOVED THE SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I WAS ABOUT FIVE FEET FARTHER INTO THE INTERSECTION THAN I PLANNED. THE CAR ON MY LEFT DID NOT MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION AS HE OBSERVED THE EVENT (AND GAVE ME HIS PHONE #), HE HEARD MY WHEELS SCREECH (FOR A SPLIT SECOND) AND MAYBE MY FRONT WHEELS MADE NOISE TOO, BUT I ONLY RECALL HEARING THE REAR WHEELS. *TR

ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER CAUSING ME TO DEPRESS BOTH PEDELS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN TRYING TO STOP CAR. DEALER ADVISED ME TO TAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO ANOTHER LEVEL SINCE THERE ARE NO REMEDIES AVAILABLE. *AK
JAGUAR IS RECALLING 14,551 MY 2004 XJ VEHICLES. A POTENTIAL CONCERN HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A NOISE VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) PAD FITTED TO THE UNDER TRAY AND ITS INTERACTION WITH THE REAR UNDER FLOOR BRAKE PIPES, REAR CROSS MEMBER BRAKE PIPES, AND THEIR UNIONS. A REVIEW OF VEHICLE BUILD CONDITIONS PROVIDES EVIDENCE THAT A TOUCH CONDITION CAN EXIST BETWEEN THE UNDER FLOOR AND CROSS MEMBER BRAKE PIPES AND THE NVH PAD AT THE REAR OF THE UNDER FLOOR UNDER TRAY. WHERE THE TOUCH CONDITION EXISTS, WATER AND DIRT CAN COLLECT AND BE HELD IN CONTACT WITH THE PIPES AND THEIR UNIONS, ABRADE THE CORROSION PROTECTION AND REDUCE THE CORROSION LIFE OF THE PIPES ACCORDINGLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CORROSION OF THE BRAKE PIPES CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS CAN RESULT IN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL COMBINED WITH REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN THE CORRESPONDING BRAKE CIRCUIT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY DISPLAY THE WARNING MESSAGE 'FLUID LEVEL LOW', ALONG WITH THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP BEING ILLUMINATED. IN THE EVENT OF BOTH BRAKING CIRCUITS LOSING INTEGRITY AT THE SAME TIME, COMPLETE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES WILL OCCUR, THEREBY POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE UNDER TRAY AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE AND DISCARD THE NVH PAD FITTED TO THE REAR OF THE UNDER TRAY. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR UNDER FLOOR AND REAR CROSS MEMBER BRAKE PIPES AND UNIONS FOR RED RUST. IF RED RUST IS PRESENT ON THE PIPES OR ON THE UNION, THE BRAKE PIPES AND UNION WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW COMPONENTS OF THE SAME DESIGN. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TRIM COMPONENTS HAVE A POOR APERTURE EDGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SHOULD THE AIR BAG DEPLOY, IT COULD BE CUT, CAUSING IT TO NOT INFLATE PROPERLY, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG APERTURE AND, WHERE NECESSARY, REMOVE ANY SHARP, SERRATED EDGES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 14, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, WITH THE FORWARD DRIVE GEAR SELECTED AND THE VEHICLE STATIONARY OR IN A FORWARD MOTION, THE GEARBOX COULD POTENTIALLY SELECT REVERSE GEAR, WITHOUT INDICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 1, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-201-818-8500.
