My Jaguar X-type 2004 car when traveling at about 25-30 mph alternately gets sluggish and slows or revs up, causing me to apply brakes hard to prevent collisions. I have to allow enormous space between me and the vehicle ahead because I am afraid of colliding with vehicles in front. Also have to brake hard to to overcome the surging forth of the engine. The car will also rev up when I am parking it. These are such common occurrences, and it seems to be a manufacturing malfunction. Jaguar should recall all 2004 X-types to fix these dangerous and potentially life threatening machines. I request that the NHTSA immediately follow up and require recall of these road hazards. Thank you.

2004 Jaguar X-type 81,000 miles. After driving for several hours at interstate speeds, the engine was slow to downshift. As car slowed to approximately 1200 rpms the engine suddenly sped up to 4500+ rpms making stopping impossible except to put engine in neutral. The same event happened four times during the 1300 mile trip.
