I FOUND A RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE MODULE FOR A DEFECT TO BE REPLACED SINCE 2005, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2007 WITH MANY SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED. MONDAY JUNE 11, 2018 MY PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS IS S SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS PARKED AWAY FROM HOME PAYING A BILL IN THE PORING RAIN AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEARER DEALERSHIP.IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH PROPER SERVICE AND NOTIFICATION FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP YEARS AGO AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT SLOW SPEED ,I TRIED TO USE MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR ACCELERATED. THERE WERE 2 PEDESTRIANS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. TO AVOID HITTING THEM, I SWERVED TO THE CURB AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF MY IGNITION. ONE OF THE PEDESTRIANS SAID MY FRONT TIRES LOCKED AND MY REAR TIRES WERE SPINNING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS DRIVING IN MY PRIVATE STREET LOCATED IN A TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITY. I COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED SOMEONE. VERY SCARY! THE CAR IS NOW AT MY MECHANICS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.02

MY 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE IS GETTING A PARKING BRAKE FAULT/ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT AND DSC NOT AVAILABLE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYMBOL. I HAVE NEW BRAKES ON MY CAR AND THE ROTORS ARE GOOD AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR LIGHTING SYSTEM CAME UP WITH THAT ABOVE AND STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY ON A CITY STREET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE BACK IN 2005 BUT I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL JAGUAR PLACES ABOUT RECORDS ON THIS CAR ABOUT THESE RECALL/S BUT I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP...
