2018 Jaguar F-PACE Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2018 Jaguar E-Pace. The contact stated that upon routine tire service, there was an abnormal fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle through the air vents. The contact was informed by the mechanic at a local Firestone that the fuel line was leaking while the vehicle was running. No warning light was illuminated. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

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.
