THIS INCIDENT STARTED IN NOV. OF 2003 IT IS STILL ONGOING AS I WRITE. I WISH THE INCIDENT DATE INCLUDED CONTINUS.EVEN AFTER MY 60K TUNE UP A WEEK AGO, THE FAILURE STARTED AGAIN. VEHICLE LOOSES POWER ON A DOWN GRADE AND I MUST PULL OVER AND START THE CAR AGAIN.ALSO CAR HOLDS BACK POWER AND THEN WITHOUT NOTICE STOPS AND THEN BUCKS FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE CAR STOPS WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. ALSO I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE DRIVER INFRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE CAR JUMPS/LEARCHS FORWARD AFTER "STOPPING". I NO LONGER ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR.I AM SCARED TO DEATH I WILL INJURE OR BE INJURED BY THIS PROBLEM! I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOHTER JAG UNTIL THIS

1999 JAGUAR XJR, THE CAR STALLED WHILE CRUISING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH 3 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I PULLED OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED IT. THIS MEANT A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES POSSIBLY FAILING IF THEY WERE USED TO MUCH. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED ON 2-16-04. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD DEVELOPED A GROVE WHERE THE THROTTLE PLATE CONTACTS THE BORE. THIS WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS STALLING PUTS THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS POSITION ON THE HIGHWAY. ON THE LAST OCCASION HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE WHERE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. *JB
