“My Jaguar X-Type 2004 car when traveling at about 25-30 MPH alternately gets sluggish and slows or revs up, causing me to apply brakes hard to prevent collisions. I have to allow enormous space between me and the vehicle ahead because I am afraid of colliding with vehicles in front. Also have to brake hard to to overcome the surging forth of the engine. The car will also rev up when I am parking it. These are such common occurrences, and it seems to be a manufacturing malfunction. Jaguar should recall all 2004 x-types to fix these dangerous and potentially life threatening machines. …”
NHTSA complaint #10717544, filed 2015-05, 53,000 miles“Failure of the gas cap. The gas cap cannot be removed when adding gas. This is the second occurrence.

It happened on the weekend so it was 2 days before it was in for service. This occurrence was very similar, the cap feels like it wants to come off but it won't release. I had a half of tank this time and wanted to top off the tank. …”
