2011 JAGUAR XF Complaints

WE WERE DRIVING NORTH ON I-75 AND EXITED AT HIGHWAY M-24. AS WE TURNED RT., THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE (LT. FRONT CAR TIRE WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND NOT SURE PROPER SEALANT WAS USED WHEN INSTALLING NEW TIRE) AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOT TO THE LEFT AND WE WENT OVER AN EMBANKMENT INTO A DITCH FOR APPROX. 20 FEET THEN SHOT UP AND OVER AN EXPRESSWAY ENTRANCE RAMP INTO A STEEL BARRIER. THE SEAT BELTS WERE ON BOTH OF US AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE BOTH SUFFERED SEVERE BLUNT FORCE BODY TRAUMA AND HAD TO BE TAKEN BY EMS TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. RECOVERY HAS BEEN SLOW AS WHIP LASH AND BACK INJURIES JUST DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO HEAL. ON ANOTHER NOTE, MY RIGHT EAR WAS DAMAGED BY THE EXPLOSION FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND NOW I HAVE HIGH SHRILL RINGING 24/7 AND CAN'T SLEEP. I HAVE BEEN TO HEARING SPECIALISTS AND THEY SAY IT IS TENITIUS (SPELLING) BUT THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION. DOES ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS? THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. *TR

I WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY TRAVELLING 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED.. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE SPEED FAILED TO DECREASE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH DID WORK BUT THE ENGINE STILL CONTINUED TO RACE. . THE BRAKES OVERTOOK THE ACCELERATION AND SLOWED THE CAR BUT EACH TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES THE CAR RESUMED ACCELERATING AT A HIGH SPEED( WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS.) I SLOWED THE CAR BY APPLYING WITH FORCE THE BRAKES WHICH WAS CAUSING A BURNING SMELL PROBABLY FROM THE BRAKE PADS. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY ( ABOUT 1/2 MILE) THAT I ENCOUNTERED AT WHICH POINT I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE IT WAS STILL MOVING SLIGHTLY WHILE MY FOOT PUSHING HARD AGAINST THE BRAKE.. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE STILL CONTINUED TO RACE ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THAT POINT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN WAITED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. AFTER FIVE MINUTES I TURNED ON THE ENGINE AT WHICH TIME IT WAS NOT RACING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MY JAGUAR DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THERE FOR THREE DAYS. A REPORT WAS SENT BY THE DEALER TO JAGUAR ALTHOUGH MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR
