TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JAGUAR S-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE.

INITIALLY WHILE BEING PARKED IN DEC. 2014, I STARTED THE CAR BUT COULD NOT RELEASE THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO A MECHANIC 3 MILES AWAY WITH THE BRAKES SMOKING. THEY SAW A PROCEDURE FOR RESETTING THE PARK BRAKE AND GAVE ME A COPY. ALL WAS WELL FOR 2 MOS. BUT DRIVING ALONG ABOUT 30MPH THEY SUDDENLY LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND FORTUNATELY HAD BEEN CARRYING TOOLS FOR THIS AND PERFORMED THE PROCEDURE. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES IN 2015 AFTER I WAS STOPPED WITH ENGINE OFF. I CALLED JAGUAR AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCES AND DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. JAGUAR OFFERED TO LOOK AT IT BUT I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT AND WHAT IT COULD COST, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN. NOTE: SEE ENCLOSED DOCUMENTS FOR 2004, BUT I HAVE SUPPOSEDLY A 2005 WITH THIS ISSUE.
