WHEN PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BY ITSELF. THIS HAD HAPPEN BEFORE ON A DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THIS TIME I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT THAT ENSUED, I CANT REMEMBER A LOT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE BELIEVE I HIT THE POST AT 30 TO 50 MPH. BECAUSE OF THE JAGUAR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION SYSTEM" BLACK BOX ", NO ONE CAN READ THE DATA FROM THE CAR BUT JAGUAR. THAT IS KIND OF LIKE LETTING THE FOX GUARD THE HEN HOUSE. ALL WE WANT TO KNOW WAS IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAKS WHICH I BELIEVE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A CASE ON SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH KNOW WAY TO PROVE IT BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO RETRIEVE THE DATA.
