Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I came for some help and advice on a situation that occurred yesterday night.

I was driving my 2009 Jaguar XF 4.2L V8 supercharged and while on the highway going 65mph going thru some bumps, the brake pedal didn’t work and the rear wheel locked up by itself!!!! Parking brake fault when on the screen and I had to hold the steering wheel tightly and merge to the right lane with my blinkers on! Thank god no one was behind me. Now I got it towed it to my house and removed the rear tire left tire which was smoking like hell when it happened. Park brake fault and I can’t move the car at all. Doesn’t budge in drive or reverse. Just stuck with the park brake fault on. I revved the car to 5,000 rpms and it budged with a massive clunk sound so park brake is still engaged!! Please help with any advice on what I should do to fix this issue as money is a bit low at the moment! Thanks! Am I covered by jaguar for any of this?
