BOTH DOORS SLAMMED SHUT AND WERE DAMAGED AS DOORS HIT GARAGE FRAME.REACHED UP WITH OTHER HAND AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE AND TOUCHED THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND DEALER HAD TO REPROGRAM SO IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE REVERSE WHERE THE ENGINE WAS IN PARK BUT STARTED MOVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR FUNCTION ON MY 2014 XJ AWD MALFUNCTIONS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I GET THE FAULT MESSAGE, "BLIND SPOT MONITOR BLOCKED" EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE SENSOR. THIS FUNCTION STOPS WORKING UNTIL I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO ROSENTHAL JAGUAR OF TYSON CORNER IN VIENNA, VA TWICE FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. OTHER JAGUAR OWNERS WITH THIS FEATURE IN THEIR VEHICLES ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE JAGUAR VEHICLES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED SO THAT A SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND A RECALL CAN BE CONDUCTED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
