“Accelerator sticks. This has been repeatedly reported to the service department that services my car and I reported it to jaguarusa. This is a serious issue that needs attention for Jaguar to fix.via my research there was a recall for 1997 models via the NHTSA but not for the 96 models. Please assist in this matter.”

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. …”

When I needed more gas the throttle hung and it made it impossible to control and I backed thur the wall and into the kitchen approx 4 feet inside taking out my doors and kitchen cabinets the stove and other valuables, at approx 20 plus MPH the throttle had hung up before in forward but never in reverse.I was hurt and the car recieved rear end damage but im really concerned about other people having this problem and killing someone if anyone had been behind the car or in my kitchen they could have been killed.”
