description: WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THE CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELERATED ON TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS REVVING AT HIGH SPEED AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES BUT CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING . I HEADED TOWARD HIGH CURB AVOIDING CARS AND PEDESTRIANS IN HOPES OF SLOWING CAR BEFORE I WAS TO HIT DIPSEY DUMPSTER ,ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (I HAD CHOSEN TO HIT THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID INVOLVING OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS) WHEN I HIT THE CURB AT HIGH RPMS , THE IMPACT DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND UNDER CARRIAGE OF AUTOMOBILE. THE ACCELERATION STOPPED . IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REGISTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS. OF JAGUARS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JAGUAR NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT KILL ANYONE OR HAD SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF. *TR
