I DRIVE A 2006 JAGUAR XJE SEDAN AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS 4 TIMES WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN. I STEP ON THE BRAKE AND AS THE CAR COMES TO A STOP IT SUDDENTLY ACCELERATES. I HAVE HAD TO PRACTICALLY STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO THE INTERSECTION WITH WHEELS SCREECHING AND THE ODOR OF RUBBER BURNING! THE DEALER, WEST HERR JAGUAR IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK HAS KEPT THE CAR FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW MY WIFE AND I ARE DRIVING IT AND FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH THIS ACCELERATION HAPPENED TO US, (LAST TIME WAS IN JANUARY 2010), WHAT CAN I DO ? HAVE YOU HAD THIS INCIDENT OCCUR WITH ANY OTHER JAGUARS?

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
