WHILE BEING STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, ONE TIME RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED JAGUAR AND THEY BLAME THE DRIVER. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE WHICH CONTAINED THE SAME TPS SENSOR THAT HAS PLAGUED TOYOTAS. I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE PEDAL SENSOR AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I GUESS I WILL SELL THE CAR. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE CAR IS STOPPED WITH THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE ACCIDENT WAS AT A SCHOOL WAITING IN A LINE OF STOPPED VEHICLES WAITING TO PICKUP STUDENTS.
