2019 Jaguar I-PACE Complaint Log

The manufacturer/dealer has been unable to remedy the safety recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V183000. I was notified in April 2024 that the battery would be replaced. I was nottfied in February 2025 that the battery was on order and would be replaced soon. It is now August 2025 and it is still not scheduled for replacement and parts are not available.

I turned my vehicle on and it showed a Gearbox Fault Detected message. I was able to put the car in reverse and accelerate to 2 MPH while reversing. The car began to slow down even with my foot on the accelerator as if there was no power. I was fully reversed out of my parking spot and went to put the car in drive as I was in the middle of the very busy parking lot with cars waiting on either side to continue driving. The car would then turn on the parking break as I pressed the accelerator, no matter which gear I was in. I was stranded at an angle, causing traffic to be delayed with cars backed up all the way to both entrances of the parking lot and vehicles in the street at a complete stop to enter with a 40MPH speed limit. I had to get my vehicle towed to Jaguar Dealer Service and after diagnostic the harness for the Parking Pawl has failed and needs to be replaced. If I had been reversing out of my home into the street, or really anywhere else than the parking lot I was in, I would have caused an accident. We’re lucky an accident wasn’t caused from people being stopped in the street.

Dear Sir, JLR is purposefully delaying repairing our cars, replacing the battery. They reduced our charging capacity to 80% as part of the H514 recall to avoid battery fires which makes the car unusable for long drives. Now as part of the recall H536, they are purchasing our vehicle at KBB value as of October 2024 which is low balling us. Car prices have taken major hit because of the battery issues/recall. I have a question relating to Recall 24V-633/H536. On your website the status is listed as: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available. The Jaguar recall website lists the status as: Repair Description: As a final remedy, JLR will reacquire vehicles from affected customers. It is reported that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is offering customers a buyback amount based on Kelley Blue Book (KBB) valuations as of 18 Oct 2024. This is the date that H536 was made public. However, on page 12 of your publication titled, "Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recalls: What Every Vehicle Owner Should Know", it states the following: "In the case of a vehicle recall, the manufacturer may choose to repair the vehicle at no charge; replace the vehicle with an identical or similar vehicle; or refund the purchase price in full, minus a reasonable allowance for depreciation." Question: If your stated remedy requires a manufacturer to "refund the purchase price in full...", how is it that JLR is allowed to remedy this unresolveable safety hazard with something other than full purchase price? Please provide details that include statutes if applicable. Thank you for your speedy response. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Failed High Voltage Battery Module, unable to repair. - Initial problem started in 02-2024 - Multiple trips and service appointment reschedules due to technician availability and guidance from Jaguar on how to address - Vehicle was dropped off at the dealer 06-2024 and has been there ever since. - Currently recall now with final remedy of buyback. I have had no communication from the dealer and or Jaguar on time frame or next steps. When calling no one seems to have an answer. I have been in 9 different rental vehicles, and currently have to provide my own means of alternative transportation.

My car is a full electric Jaguar In the dashboard has a display telling me Battery default drive with caution The car was charging up to 70% of battery According to the owners handbook Do not charged in the garage About January I got a recalls on the battery I took the car to the dealership about a month latter I got my car back About a month later same thing last time was in March for the same issue and my car still sitting in the dealership

Car will not charge over 72%. Dealer and Manufacturer are aware of the problem but have no answer on when they will fix the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to charge over eighty percent. There were unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was concerned about the vehicle catching on fire. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer on four occasions, where it was determined that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the buyback, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V709000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the battery energy control module (BECM) software was updated; however, the Traction Battery Fault Detected message was displayed. The dealer diagnosed that the battery had a faulty cell and determined the battery needed to be replaced; however, the part was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Concerning NHTSA ID Number: 11494560 Since filing the complaint in Nov 2022, the vehicle has had its parking assist module replaced, it was updated with latest software, and other camera software updated and calibrated. All of this was due to corruption and loss of functioning of all cameras when the software remedy for NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V709000 was installed. The problem of no backup and forward cameras remains. Conditions on 20 December 2023: 42F in garage. Destination 12.9 miles away. Arrived at destination with car reporting 21F degrees. Neither forward nor backup cameras worked; no images and no trajectory lines. Camera symbols on display indicate they are not available. After a 33 minute stop, got back in car, car reports still 21F degrees, backup camera now works, and forward camera does not. Drove back home (13.2 miles) and found backup camera works but forward camera is black screen with parking trajectory lines. It needs to be investigated for failure to comply with standards.

Several battery modules have been replaced in less than two years of ownership. Spoke w JLR , they will contact me soon. It’s been almost 10 months and I have not heard back. My vehicle range has been incredibly reduced, thereby restricting driving range. Unable to charge for fear of property damage. Please assist with expediting this matter. Thanks.

No normal braking available; unable to place car in park as normal; unable to turn car off as normal; The All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) lamp illuminated to confirm that the ASPC system is enabled however the brake warning lamp illuminates but the vehicle cannot be driven with care contrary to what the manual states, but seek qualified assistance urgently contradicts dangerous hard no braking system probably due to corrupt auxiliary battery system employed by Jaguar. Driving home near my house and into the garage the whole braking and parking system becomes difunctional was difficult to shut off car. Next day checked I-PACE system and was difficult to turn on back out. Drove down the block tested brakes. Brakes hard and secure or operable as brakes. Returned to garage slowly relying on car to stop some how with unusable brakes. Brake battery shoes 10.84 volts. Will contact dealers on Monday concerning unsafe to drive I-Pace due to jeopardized braking by system design.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated that the battery traction warning light was illuminated.

Recall was 441 Battery traction, could start a fire. All started in Aug 2023 had in for recall it lowered my range to 72%. I had 98000 Miles still under warranty when this happened. Had back in dealership in for 6 weeks. They got range back at 250 for 3 days then went back down to 72%. They had me bring it in 1st week of feb for another update and told me I had to pay for new battery $15000, when it was never fixed to get back to range 240. I was told I could drive it and it would still be under warranty even if I go past 100,000 Mike's since this happened when it was still under warranty, I need help, please.

My start fire, jlr lowered charging to 72% in August still no fix with battery I heard of recall on 2019 jaguar ipace due to this issue on internet and what I heard on jaguar forum, but haven't received anything from jaguar land rover yet letters for recall were to go out to vehicle owners April 26, dealership was to receive letter from nhtsa on March 12

Jaguar Can’t fix the battery fault issue with this issue. They have taken well over a year and half and nothing has happened in regards To them replacing the battery or repurchasing my vehicle for a reasonable amount

Jaguar has had multiple recalls for the 2019 I-Pace to address the potential of a thermal overload event with the high voltage/traction battery through the use of software updates. The vehicle has a stated warranty that covers defects, and is good for 8 years/100,000 miles. The most recent software update has limited the ability to charge the battery to a max capacity of 80%, which was made available in November of 2023. It is not March of 2024 and a permanent fix has not been made available, and have been continue to drive vehicles that may be at risk for a fire. Jaguar does not be interested in honoring the terms of their warranty to replace a defective battery.

Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLR) continues to neglect its federal recall obligations for the 2019 I-PACE under recalls H441, H514, and H536, exposing owners to serious fire risks. Despite multiple recall efforts, thermal overload incidents persist, proving JLR’s interim remedies—software updates and charging restrictions—are ineffective. JLR admits in its notices that affected vehicles remain unsafe, yet fails to resolve the defect or provide fair compensation. The only remedy is a manufacturer buyback, but JLR systematically undervalues offers, basing them on depressed Kelley Blue Book (KBB) values from Oct 2024 instead of pre-defect values minus reasonable depreciation. This forces owners into financial losses while JLR’s delays further erode resale value. JLR has refused to provide clear documentation on its buyback calculations, delayed responses to affected owners, and employed coercive tactics, telling consumers to accept flawed offers or risk future depreciation. In March 2023, nine months after purchasing our I-PACE, we experienced the first of three "Traction Battery Faults," narrowly avoiding fire. Since then, our vehicle has been restricted to an 80% charge, reducing range by 26% while still requiring outdoor parking due to fire risk. JLR’s failure to act promptly violates federal safety standards and leaves affected vehicles as potential hazards in public spaces. I urge NHTSA to investigate and enforce timely recall remedies, fair valuation processes, and immediate buyback completion. Owners should not be receiving emails like this. "It appears that we cannot agree on the repurchase of your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE impacted by recall H514/H536. Please note that this final recall remedy will remain open on your vehicle. In the future, should you decide to accept the H536 final recall remedy (repurchase) for your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE, the amount offered at that time may not be the same as today, due to depreciation, age, and mileage."

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and stalled. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle was seized after the gear shifter was shifted to park. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the first dealer for another diagnostic test; however, the dealer refused to perform the diagnostic test or service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Front and rear cameras inoperative below 32F. This happens every winter. Car parked in warm garage overnight. Back out and drive sufficient miles (at least 10?) and find cameras "unavailable" per display message. Cameras in side mirrors work though. The lack of the back up camera violates the FMVSS requirement for the camera to activate within 2 seconds of reverse engagement. I have not yet reported this to the dealer as it requires cold weather conditions to reproduce.

The BCCM in a high number of 2019 Jaguar iPace cars are going bad. The BCCM is the main charging component of the vehicle that controls the electrical system and creates a huge hazard and series of malfunctions when it goes bad. It renders the car immobile and you can not charge it. The dealerships and Jaguar North America refuse to recognize this. There is a significant backorder of these parts because of this issue and the dealership mentioned to me that they see this issue ALL THE TIME. Jaguar should be recalling this part for those of us, like myself, whose car is out of warranty.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt significantly hard and the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing the braking distance to be extended. The message "Okay to Drive with Caution - Brake Pedal Feel Reduced" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where one of the 12-Volt battery was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact replaced the second 12-Volt battery; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing battery failure. The messages "Okay to Drive with Caution - Traction Battery Fault Detected" and "ASPC Not available" were displayed. The contact stated that the main battery was replaced. Additionally, the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V369000 (Electrical System); however, the failure increased after the recall repair. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the front drive motor failed to shift into gear, causing the vehicle to stall. The message "Gear Box Failure" was displayed. The contact was unable to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the drive motor and pawl actuator harness had failed and needed to be replaced. The parts were replaced. The contact also stated that water had leaked onto the dashboard through the windshield. The dealer replaced the windshield and the head display. The contact stated the brake failure had been recurring intermittently while driving. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance and was informed that the main battery charge had been set to 80 percent of the maximum charge. The contact was not provided a reason for the main battery charge limitation. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V633000 (Electrical System). The contact stated that there was no repair or remedy and that the manufacturer was supposed to buy back the vehicle. The contact stated that he was unable to activate the heater because the battery could not be fully charged. The contact stated that the 80 percent charge was needed to drive to work and then back to the residence. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact’s concern about the buyback. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Since purchasing our vehicle, we have been beset with several problems. The battery system to the vehicle has been malfunctioning consistently since at least June of 2022. The entire electrical system in the vehicle did not respond. We had to have the vehicle towed to the local Jaguar dealer. In June of 2023, we had another instance where the car was not coming on and we had been receiving notification about a “traction battery fault.” We again had to get the car towed to the local Jaguar dealer because the vehicle was inoperable. We were told that the electrical battery and the auxiliary battery needed to be replaced after a service inspection on June 30, 2023 and “that is why the vehicle would not start up for us.” We received notice on June 28, 2023 along with other Jaguar I-Pace owners about an open recall of the electric SUVs made from 2019 to 2024 in the United States. The recall notice number [XXX] was issued after the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that “The high-voltage battery overheating increases the risk of a fire.” The NHTSA required the following remedy that “the battery energy control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update. In addition, battery modules will be replaced as necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge.” Our car received an OTA update to the software of the vehicle following the NHTSA recall and was cleared for pick-up on [XXX]. Yet, this did not solve the problems with the car. The battery problems have only become more severe with the vehicle. In December of 2023, we again experienced an issue where we got a “traction battery default” message. We took the car into the local Jaguar dealer out of fear of an electrical failure and the car becoming inoperable once again. The car stayed at the local dealer for over a month. The local Jaguar dealer informed us that the parts to replace the battery were on back order. Please see attached letter.

I tried to move my Jaguar I-Pace car yesterday - totally unresponsive. Finally got a door to open; dash said the car had zero miles (it had 140 available when last shut off). Then got a "Charging System Fault" message. Dash info kept turning off. Car won't accept electricity to charge, charging panel lights kept flashing, then all the doors locked and the alarm went off, with no way to turn it off as the key fob didn't work. When I googled "charge system fault" it is a common problem causing major headaches. It happened to a neighbor too; another I-Pace, different year! This needs to be a recall so Jaguar will address this issue before their cars die, not after. Per the internet, Jaguar is sometimes taking weeks to fix this which is unacceptable.

35mph limit road, moderate traffic, speed of 30-35mph suddenly car shows an error message on screen with regards to electrical fault of traction battery and reduced feel of brakes. On a contrary, brakes became extremely hard and unresponsive (zero braking efficiency) - car moving 30mph, no change in forward motion (minor jitter on the steering wheel), barely managed to change lane to avoid collision. If right lane would be occupied, that would be a certain collision with a car in front of me as I would have no place to bring the car to safety. Brake message cleared when the car stopped.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V633000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the battery warning light remained illuminated, and the vehicle would not properly charge. The battery was replaced but the failure persisted. The failure mileage was 9,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

BRAKES FAILED, AND BATTERY DIED AT FULL SPEED IN A 35 MILE ZONE, LUCKILY SLIGHT UP SLOPE AND CAR CAME TO A HALT. COMPLETE BATTERY AND BRAKE FAILURE, THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. NO ANSWERS FROM JAGUAR, JUST A BATTERY REPLACEMENT. AGAIN, BRAKES FAILED AT FULL SPEED!

AS WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO JAGUAR DEALERSHIP, ODDLY ENOUGH, AFTER WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE 2 DAYS AGO, THE FRONT COLLISION ALARMS GO OFF WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OR SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES JUST ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE CITY ROAD . NO OTHER VEHICLES NEAR VEHICLE TO THE FRONT BACK OR SIDES.

UPON DRIVING OUT OF OUR HOUSE TO TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE ON DISPLAY. PRIOR TO THIS AN UPDATE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO UPDATE THE VEHICLE CHARGED BATTERY WITH A RANGE OF 234. AFTER THE 'UPDATE' WAS DONE 2 DAYS AGO THE BATTERY DID NOT FULLY CHARGE DESPITE BEING ON A SUPERCHARGER OVER 12 HOURS. THE CAR CHARGED ONLY TO ABOUT 160 AND THEN DISPLAYED THIS MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY : VEHICLE NOT FULLY CHARGED. POWER CUT DETECTED.

This vehicle is a lemon. The electrical system has major fault. The vehicle stops randomly even when it is in motion, which is a major hazard in itself. Plus, the car battery is a fire risk. This vehicle is a weapon with potential to kill buyer, family, and friends, and cause property damage to anything nearby. It would possibly lead to a California-wide wide fire as well.

ELECTRIC SYSTEM DID NOT START (HAPPENS REPEATEDLY) BUT NOW GOT A WARNING THAT BRAKE FUNCTION WAS IMPAIRED. ATTEMPTING TO BACKUP DID NOT TRIGGER BACKUP CAMERA NOR WERE RCT SENSORS ACTIVATED. THE REAR TRAFFIC SENSORS NOT WORKING HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONCE, IT SHOWED ALL CLEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY A CAR APPEARED IN THE BACKUP CAMERA. SENSORS NEVER WENT OFF AND IF I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. BLIND SPOT MONITORING HAS THE EXACT SAME CHALLENGE MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS VERY UNRELIABLE. OF COURSE THAT'S TRUE FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE.

2019 JAGUAR I-PACE EV 400. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. *AS *JS

ELECTRICAL MULTI-SYSTEM FAILURE INCLUDING BRAKING WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. BRAKES FAILED AND STEERING AFFECTED. ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS DEFECTIVE ON VEHICLE PER MANUFACTURER.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AS USUAL. IT WAS A HOT DAY OUTSIDE IN WASHINGTON. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE WITH THE SUN DIRECTLY ABOVE. (INSIDE THE VEHICLE IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT) I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO TURN ON THE AC. IT TOOK A SECOND TO FINALLY COME ON AND THEN IT DIDN'T BLOW ANY COOL AIR. I RECHECKED THAT I HAD IT ON THE COOLEST TEMP POSSIBLE. I DROVE AROUND APPROXIMATELY 37 MINUTES AND STILL NO A/C. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WENT OUT OR WHY. I CHECKED MY RECALLS AND IT STATED ALL UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY VEHICLE AND NO RECALLS.

2195 MILES, AND ONLY DRIVING IT FOR 60 DAYS. THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, WHEN THE CAR'S BRAKES STOPPED WORKING, THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY. WHEN FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR, THE I-PACE WOULD NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF GEAR, AND THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. INCREDIBLY SCARY. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED.

ON FEBRUARY 12, 2020, I LEFT THE HOUSE AROUND 9:15 A.M. TO ATTEND A YOGA CLASS AT 9825 CARROLL CENTRE ROAD, SUITE 400, SAN DIEGO. THE YOGA STUDIO IS LOCATED IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND AS I WAS EARLY, THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY EXCEPT FOR ONE OTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM THAT MORNING. SO I DROVE AROUND IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, #9825, AND DECIDED TO PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE FROM THE ONE VEHICLE PARKED THERE. SEE FIGURE 1. (SEE MAP OF 9825 CARROLL CENTER ROAD LOCATION. THE RED RECTANGLE SHOWS WHERE I PARKED; BLUE RECTANGLE SHOWS WHERE THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AT 9:30 AM ON WEDNESDAY, 2/12/20.) AS I SLOWLY PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS ONE DOES WHEN PARKING, THE JAGUAR I-PACE SUDDENLY SURGED AND ACCELERATED, DRIVING OVER THE CURB AND HEDGE IN FRONT ON TO THE OTHER SIDE AND RAMMED INTO THE PARKED VEHICLE, A VW BEETLE! IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE! SEE FOLLOWING PICTURES INCLUDING TREAD MARKS, SHOWING THE ACCELERATION WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE PARKING SLOT. I WAS VERY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT AND SAT IN THE CAR FOR SOME TIME IN TOTAL DISBELIEF. THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR OR IN THE CAR I STRUCK. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MOVE, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR CAREFULLY AS IT WAS BALANCED ON TOP OF THE BUSHES WITH SOME OF THE WHEELS IN THE AIR. THE OWNER OF THE VW BEETLE ALSO CAME OUT ASKED IF I WAS OK. FORTUNATELY, I AM PHYSICALLY OK, JUST VERY SHAKEN AND TRAUMATIZED BY THE ENTIRE INCIDENT WHICH HAD LASTED NO MORE THAN SECONDS. THE NEXT 6 HOURS WERE SPENT CALLING MY INSURANCE, AAA FOR EMERGENCY TOWING, RENTAL CARS, ETC. BY MID-AFTERNOON OF FEBRUARY 12, 2020, I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF JAGUAR SAN DIEGO THAT MY I-PACE CHECKED OUT OK AND ALL SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE CURRENT!

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, TWO WITH MY WIFE, AND ONCE WITH ME, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR EVEN THOUGH OUR FEET WERE NO ON THE ACCELERATOR. WITH MY WIFE DRIVING, SHE WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES GOING 5MPH OR SLOWER. I WAS COASTING DOWNHILL AT 40MPG WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. WE REPORTED EACH INCIDENT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY RELAYED THE INFORMATION TO JAGUAR TECHNICAL SUPPORT. IN ALL CASES JAGUAR SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WANT US TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. THE LAST TIME THEY ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 100 MILES. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR WE WILL HIT AND INJURE SOME INNOCENT PARTY OR HARM OUR SELVES.

MY 4-MONTH-OLD CAR'S BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE TRAVELING AT 60MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF THE FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND COAST ACROSS THE FREEWAY TO THE HARD SHOULDER WHERE THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN EARLIER IN THE DAY WHEN THE CAR REPORTED "REDUCED BRAKE PEDAL FEEL, OK TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION. LATER IN THE DAY A MESSAGE REPORTED "ASPC NOT AVAILABLE." AT THIS POINT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED US TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY. SOME TIME AFTER THIS ALERT WE RECEIVED A SERIES OF RAPID MESSAGES - "TRACTION CONTROL OFFLINE" "EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSIST OFFLINE - OK TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION" AND SEVERAL OTHERS WHICH I DON'T RECALL. THE FINAL WARNING WAS "GEAR BOX FAULT" - AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT IT WISE TO PULL OVER, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL. JUST A GRINDING, CRUNCHING FEELING UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND COASTED TO THE RIGHT LANE THROUGH FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC, AND THEN ONTO THE HARD SHOULDER. I BELIEVE THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS WORKING AND THIS MANAGED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. ON THE HARD SHOULDER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL HAD A GRINDING, CRUNCHING FEELING AND WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE PARK/DRIVE/NEUTRAL BUTTONS JUST FLASHED IF YOU PRESSED THEM. I WAS IN THE CAR WITH TWO CHILDREN UNDER 6 AND MY WIFE. WE WERE VERY CONCERNED AS THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SPACE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NO WAY TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. WE PRESSED THE CAR'S SOS BUTTON AND THE WOMAN ADVISED WE CALL 911 TO BE RESCUED BY THE POLICE. JAGUAR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO JAGUAR MONTEREY FOR REPAIR. A FEW DAYS LATER WE WERE TOLD THE CAR'S "POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX" HAD FAILED. THE CAR HAD NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. WHEN PURCHASED IT HAD THE "ASPC NOT AVAILABLE" ERROR AND HAD TO GO BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR.

SINCE I PURCHASED JAGUAR I-PACE I BEEN HAVING BATTER FAULT ISSUES WHICH NOW STANDARD ME WITH THE VEHICLE. I RECEIVE BATTERY FAULT ERRORS AND THE CAR STOPS WORKING. THE CAR STAYS ON BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENS. ITS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR SHOULD NOT JUST STOP FROM DRIVING WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR IS WORKING IN TERMS OF AIR CONDITION, STEERING WHEEL ETC.... ALSO THERE IS CONSTANT ERRORS WHEN IT COMES TO BLIND SPOT ALERT. THE VEHICLE TELLS YOU THEY ARE DISABLED, IF YOU RESTART THE VEHICLE IT RESENTS BUT COMES BACK. ALSO THE DASHBOARD SOMETIMES JUST GOES BLANK AND WILL COME BACK A FEW MINUTES LATER. ITS SCARY AS YOU SUDDENLY DONT KNOW HOW FAST YOUR GOING OR WHAT IS GOING ON TILL THE SCREEN COMES BACK FEW SECONDS LATER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FEW TIMES BUT STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ITS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN TO BE FIXED. THIS VEHICLE IS 100% ELECTRIC AND I'M ATTACHING SOME PICTURES OF THE ERRORS.

EV BATTERY CAUGHT FIRE AFTER VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 5 DAYS IN AN INTERIOR LEVEL OF AN OPEN AIR PARKING GARAGE. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

HUGE SIDEWALL SPLIT WHILE FREEWAY DRIVING. SUDDEN LOSS OF PRESSURE. NO NOTICEABLE IMPACT PRIOR TO EVENT.

Since April of this year, the car has consistently had problems! A few months ago, it started turning off suddenly!! Yes, suddenly even while driving! This was very alarming. I took it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it stayed for almost a month to be fixed! Then towards the end of August, it started running out of charge / not charging after driving a few miles with a dashboard warning to "stop immediately". I again shipped it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it has been there since then (over 6 weeks now!) Talking to the dealer, they do not seem to be certain of what happened and keep changing things. I am not sure if I feel safe driving such a car or owning it beyond the warranty
