Jaguar acceleration problems

Owners have filed 256 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Jaguar vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 27 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jaguar S-Type, worst in 2003.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
