Purchased a vehicle at auction it was running fine however I noticed at times when driving it randomly shuts down weather in the middle of the highway while driving on the streets turning corners etc. Blocking traffic and putting my life in danger and others in the car. There's no warning the car IS driving fine it just shuts down were you cannot move it forward you cannot reverse it's just stuck. Researched online and it seems to be a known issue however when I contacted a jaguar dealer in scottsdale they stated there IS no recall from my van number. This IS a serious and dangerous issue which in time will cost someone their life it should be placed on a recall for all known vehicles with this issue and more. Driving down I 17 cars stalled I had to pull off in a unsafe area and was stuck there for literally 30 to 45 minutes unable to move the vehicle. Also driving in tempe the car stalled why turning a corner had to turn into the parking lot or a completely died stolley traffic to one lane. Again in phoenix driving the vehicle the car stalled at 118 outside with an infant in the backseat car will not start normal move had to pull into a circle k and call a lyft to get the baby out of harms way. As a result of leaving my car off of I 17 and the highway my car was broken into which the door IS damaged as well as the gears someone attempting to steal the car. Jaguar should be held accountable, this IS unacceptable and dangerous.

Accelerator pedal appeared to stick. when pedal was released, engine did not throttle down, resulting in revs remaining at previous level, and speed unchanged. when driven on the highway, this means that speed remains at 55 even when accelerator pedal IS not depressed. sometimes, runaway acceleration occurs. I took vehicle to my mechanic. he rebuilt the throttle body. problem unsolved. he then did some research and found that there was a defective design for the 1996 throttle body, which was subsequently changed. he installed the new design, and the problem went away. I reported it to jaguar USA. they said because the vehicle was out of warranty, there was nothing they could do, but they would send me $100 "boutique dollars" as a gift. Incident date IS approximate. *Tr

Brakes (soft brake pedal) when pressing the brake pedal it goes too close to the floor. This supposedly has been adjusted by the technician. however service states that this IS normal for this type of car and the problem still exists.*ak
- Power train › Automatic transmission
Transmission (limp home mode). Coming to a stop exiting the ramp the car shuts off, and when started again the transmission light IS on, and limp home mode. This was taken in for service and the technician said no codes where presented in the computer to indicate a problem therfore they reset it and said it just beacuse of a sudden stop.*ak
- Power train › Driveline › Differential unit
Rear end (differential) problem. When driving at about 40 miles an hour you can hear a roaring noise from the rear end (sounds like a truck instead of a luxury vehicle).
