NHTSA Complaint #11012316 — 2017 JAGUAR F-PACE

F PACE INCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING EAST ON I-80, JUST PAST THE HIRSCHDALE EXIT, A SUDDEN ROCKING OF THE CAR OCCURRED ON ENTERING AN UPGRADE CURVE WHILE PASSING A TRUCK AT ABOUT 65 MPH. IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE A POSSIBLE BLOWN TIRE AND WE CHANGED LANES TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT-HAND (UPGRADE) TRUCK LANE. AS WE CONTINUED UPHILL IN THE TRUCK LANE, THE ROCKING OR SHAKING OF THE STEERING CONTINUED AND WE WERE AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE THEN REDUCED SPEED TO ABOUT 50 AND PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. WE CONTINUED ON FOR ANOTHER MILE OR TWO AND DECIDED TO STOP JUST ABOVE THE FLORISTON EXIT IN THE TRUCKEE RIVER CANYON - POSSIBLY TO CALL FOR HELP. BUT THIS LOCATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANY ASSISTANCE, SO WE RE-STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED HOME TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH. AT THESE LOWER SPEEDS, THERE WAS NO FURTHER ROCKING OF THE CAR OR STEERING PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER SIGNALS (AT ANY TIME) IN THE CONTROL PANEL TO INDICATE A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. WE LATER EXPERIENCED COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE, FORTUNATELY AT STARTUP. PROBABLE ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SYSTEM FAILURE
