X-TYPE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,030 miles
On several occasions my car has suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated - a very scary experience. The dealer told me they had had other reports, and that it was able to be fixed - however it has not been fixed. The most recent incident (below) happened when I was going uphill and had eased off on the accelerator because traffic in front of me was slowing down. Instead, the car responded as though I had put my foot to the floor.
