“Braking on street to turn into house drive when the car suddenly increased speed and before I could get it in neutral I crashed into a house stone wall. Pictures on request.”
NHTSA complaint #10893007, filed 2016-08, 67,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10104789, filed 2004-12, 12,000 miles“The contact owns a 2004 Jaguar XJ. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt spongy and an excessive amount of force was needed to depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal almost went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a stop, causing the braking distance to be extended. The message that the brake fluid level was low remained illuminated. There was brake fluid leaking from a fractured cross-member brake pipe. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who found that the underfloor tray was corroded, causing the floor to fracture. …”
