MY 2015 JAGUAR XJ , WHICH WAS IN PARK GEAR - WITH ENGINE RUNNING, STARTED ROLLING BACK ON THE DRIVEWAY IN A DANGEROUS AND UNEXPLAINED FASHION AND ALMOST HIT MY KIDS AND I. THERE WAS NO-ONE IN THE CAR, AND I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP BY JUMPING IN AND SLAMMING THE BRAKES. THE CAR WAS ROLLING, NOT SLIDING. THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA CAUGHT THIS SCARY MOMENT AND YOU CAN VIEW THAT AT THE LINK BELOW HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/1_NFUQM9JZBIFLLVDKF7-H5YU2OD6OO0F/VIEW?USP=DRIVESDK

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Jaguar Xj (swb) verdict →
