I was not able to restart or even turn the car into neutral. The vehicle lost power-assisted braking and power-assisted steering. It was horrifying. The car was towed to rosenthal jaguar land rover in tysons corner va, where they uncovered that the issue was a defective fuel pump connector and the description matches the exact description of this recall: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2013-jaguar-xf-recalled-for-fuel-pump-problem.html
