I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN THE PROCESS BY PRESSING THE "START" BUTTON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AS I WAS SLOWLY PULLING IN TO MY GARAGE. THE ACCELERATOR ENGAGED BUT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID DRIVING THROUGH MY HOUSE.

THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 09/04/2016. I WAS GOING IN HIGHWAY AT 70MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED FOR 0.5 SECOND AND TURNED ON BY ITSELF. ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESTARTED AT THAT TIME. I DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AT THAT TIME AND IT STARTED TO COME AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT IS IN THE LOCAL ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING AT 30 MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED AND THE STEERING IS STRUCK. I CHANGED THE CAR TO PARK MODE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND THE CAR STARTED AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE A NEW BATTERY ON THE CAR AND THE KEY FOB HAS NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED STRAIGHTWAY. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THIS. I TOOK THE TAKE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND ASKED TO TAKE IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE HIGHWAY AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE LANE AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. HENCE I'M REPORTING THIS.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE TO SEE ANYTHING BUT HE END UP TOWING THE CAR BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR RUNNING WITH A RATTLING SOUND. IT WAS STATIONARY BUT ALREADY RUNNING WHEN HE FIRST APPROACHED IT AND NOTICED THE RATTLING. HOW CAN THIS CASE BE RESOLVE?
