Perhaps They Should Have Tested More - Jaguar

Meow?

Jaguar is recalling certain X-Type cars, due to a software glitch affecting the cruise control system.

• 17,678 cars recalled due to a software glitch
• affects cars made between 2006 and 2010
• error with certain interfacing systems copyrightjoestrazzere
• cruise control cannot be disengaged in a normal manner
• must turn off the ignition to disengage the cruise control function

What's that up there?  Is that a police car?  Yup, better disengage the cruise control and slow down a bit. Doesn't seem to be working!  Hmm...

Perhaps they should have tested more.
