1 crashes, 0 fires
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
PASSIVE RESTRAINT FAILURE

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN SHIFTING FROM "PARK" TO "DRIVE" VEHICLE BOLTED AHEAD AT FULL ACCELERATION WITHOUT MY TOUCHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL. APPLIED FULL BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO EFFECT AND COULD ONLY STOP VEHICLE BY TURNING OFF IGNITION WITH KEY. JAGUAR DEALER ADVISED ME THAT "BUILD UP OF CARBON AROUND THROTTLE LINKAGE" CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE SUFFERED NO INJURIES TO ANYONE OR COLLISION DAMAGE. VEHICLE TRAVELED 75 FEET ACROSS BUSY INTERSECTION AT VERY HIGH SPEED BEFORE I COULD STOP IT.
