I WAS ON MY WAY TO A GIG/JOB, WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH,THE CAR STARTS TO JERK AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTS SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. I ALMOST HAD A CAR ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW BACK HOME SINCE THE CAR WON'T EVEN START WITH A JUMPSTART. NOW I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE CAR ON. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 07/14/2020. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR, PAY FOR THE CAR TO GET REPAIRED, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A LOSS SINCE THE LAST THING I REMEMBER WAS READING 'TRANSMISSION FAULT' ON MY DASHBOARD WHERE THE ODOMETER IS AT.

I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLIANT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE SEARCH, SO I'M FILING IT AGAIN. I BELIEVE JAGUAR HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A MANDATORY RECALL.

AFTER THE THIRD THROTTLE BODY, I CALLED JAGUAR IN NEW JERSEY AND THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WALKED THEM THROUGH BENCH TESTING THE THROTTLE BODY OFF THE CAR. TURNS OUT THERE WA

THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE POSITION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
