2019 Jaguar I-PACE Electrical System Problems

The vehicle has experienced the Traction Battery Fault three times, which is the warning signal provided when there is a main battery fault situation. During the latest incident, the warning appeared and shortly afterward the vehicle emitted white smoke with an electrical odor and crackling from the front undercarriage. Emergency services were contacted through 911, and firefighters disconnected the 12V battery to stabilize the vehicle. Two previous traction-battery-related repair attempts were performed by Jaguar, and a third repair is currently underway. The repeated failure of the high-voltage traction battery system represents a potential fire risk and electrical hazard. I am reporting this incident to ensure NHTSA is aware of this high-voltage safety defect.

My card displayed "Gearbox fault detected" on the instrument panel cluster. According to Jaguar Land Rover Technical Bulletin JLRTB0 2012 NAS3 released August 14, 2020, this could result in the car abruptly stopping when vehicle speed has reduced to 5 km/h (3 mph). The cause mentioned is "No retention to the front Electric Drive Unit (EDU) causing strain on the wiring going to the EDU parking lock actuator connector (C1YE113A). My JLR dealer in Naperville, IL, told me that the 2019 model wire was a few inches short and JLR fixed this in 2022 by adding a few more inches to the wire. However, the cost to fix this was $6700 since they had to take everything out of the car to fix this. Apparently, this issue has caused recalls in Norway and the U.K. but there was no recall for this issue in the USA. Besides being a danger to the public (if the car stops in the middle of the road with little warning), not including the US in the recall makes me feel JLR didn't do right by their customers in the US. I opened a Case {[XXX]} with JLR and their response was that I did not avail of recall H484, wherein I am supposed to buy a new 2024 Jaguar iPace and they would refund me $35,000 for my car. I was not ready to invest another $50,000 in a replacement. I was also given the impression that the only reason for the H484 recall were because batteries were catching on fire, so I agreed to get a new battery. When they replaced the battery, they could have also replaced the wiring going to the parking lock actuator connector (C1YE113A) so that I (in addition to other USA 2019 Jaguar owners) would have been safer and we would not have had to incur $6700 expense now to get this wiring fixed.

In connection with Recall H514, my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (SADHD2S16K1 F76172) had a battery fire risk that led Jaguar to issue a software update. Without prior notice, the update permanently disabled full battery function by capping the vehicle’s charge at 80%, significantly reducing range and usability. The update was irreversible and materially changed the safety and performance of the electric vehicle. After being forced to seek a replacement, I purchased a 2020 Jaguar I-Pace (SADHD2S17L1F81804). During transport of the 2020 vehicle home, it exhibited an “Electrical Battery Fault” warning, raising serious concerns about the continued reliability and safety of Jaguar’s battery systems even after the recall. This ongoing pattern of battery issues places consumers at risk of fire, vehicle immobilization, or loss of propulsion. Jaguar’s recall remedy has proven ineffective at fully addressing the underlying electrical and propulsion safety issues.

Jaguar is not being forthcoming or acting in good faith in the process of the final remedy for the NHTSA Recall Number24V-633. They contacted me and provided an offer which I do not believe reflects the true value of my vehicle. I would have kept this car on which I owe nothing for another 5 years or more. The car was $80K new kept in mint condition and has a 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. It has 52,000 miles on it now. They made a small improvement in the offer after I complained but I am being forced to sell the vehicle back to Jaguar and purchase a new one or put myself and others at risk of injury or property damage due to this battery fire risk. They are providing no documentation of the offer amount they are providing which appears to be KBB from Oct 2024. The KBB for this car is diminished due to the battery issues which are the root of this recall. In addition to acquire a replacement vehicle I will need to spend time and money (sales tax, registration fees) for which they appear to be ignoring in the offer. They are also dragging the process out given how long ago this issue was identified. Seems it is the same issue that Chevy and others have dealt with from LG batteries, so why when Jaguar agreed with NHTSA to repurchase these vehicles in November 2024 are they not being responsive during the repurchase process. Is there anything we can do to improve this? I'm only asking them to come up from $27K to $30K to make the offer reasonable - not great but at least not insulting.

We started having issues with the battery back in 2023. Smaller batteries were replaced, and the car went in several times for "updates" due to recalls. The last two times were due to potential over-heating of the battery and a "track fault detected" error message displayed on the dash and the mileage decreased. Most recently the car was in the shop for 2 weeks early 2025 to replace a faulty cell in the larger battery. This was the most recent recall "fixing" the issue -- but when we received the car it wouldn't charge past 80%, meaning it was not fixed and able to charge to 100%. A letter received 3/19/25 confirmed the issue was indeed not fixed and that these cars needed to be purchased back in order to comply with safety measures. These cars are literal moving fire hazards. We have a short driveway and the car is next to our house and I am scared to have it on my property. The offers being sent are absolutely unacceptable, not even enough to cover what is remaining on the car loan. The purchasers of these cars should not be held accountable FINANCIALLY for the deplorable actions of LG and Jaguar/Land Rover.

Last November I got a recall notice saying Jaguar would buy back my car. It is now March and Jaguar has yet to initiate the buyback. I have called the Jaguar 800 number and they confirm my car is part of the buyback but will not provide a timeline. They say that since they are buying back thousands of cars I just have to keep waiting until they contact me, but it has been 4 months now and I am beginning to doubt it they have any intention of actually buying it back.

No communication or attempt since November 6, 2024 from JLR to resolve NHTSA Recall Number 24V633000 which is noted as a fire/safety risk re: high voltage batteries. Repurchase noted as final remedy. JLR outsourced call center provided "in a couple of weeks" eta when contacted on 3/12/2025. Vehicle charge capacity limited to 80% by JLR, significantly impacts utility of vehicle in addition to safety risk.

UNKNOWN Respected Sir/Madam, This is in relation to recall H536 under which Jaguar has decided to do a forced buyback with lowball offer and no repair option is offered causing me heavy loss to get a similar replacement car or continue to drive unsafe car which can cause severe bodily injury or property damage. The NHSTA guidance for remedy as mentioned on the page 12 of document for "Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recalls" (link below) requires manufacturer to repair, replace or refund with reasonable allowance but I don't see Jaguar is offering reasonable allowance as their offered prices are based on the October/2024 date while the fire risk was already known from 2023 via recall H441. So I wanted to understand how NHSTA can help in this case and force Jaguar to take reasonable steps to resolve this situation. [XXX] Thanks, [XXX] P.S. I am selecting the incident date of [XXX] as this was the date I received the email related to buyback process.

used as daily drive for commute to work, each return to home, i would put it on the 7.5kw juicebox level 2 charger- this worked well since april 2024, until march 2025- upon returned from work, i place it on charge, and immediately went into "charging status error", with another message after disconnecting the charger port, "High voltage error but is ok to drive" message. Thinking it was a fluke, i let it sit few days, unplugged, and then attempted to check battery status on the driver dash screen, "high voltage error but is ok to drive" msg reappeared, i shut it off, waited 10 minutes, plugged in the charger that came with the car, 1.2kw charger, opened the driver door, waited for the screen to come on and display the battery charging status, to no avail. "Charging status:error" and in all red, and a red triangle on the right side of the dash display was present, along with brake error. I unplugged it, and attempted to move it further away from my house in case there is a problem i can't see, to no avail, i can not move it. the software updater shows no update available for the vehicle or for the infotainment center. the nearest dealer for me is over 40miles from me (rural area)- i have sent emails to JLR, and have not received acknowledgement or any replies.

On January 28, 2025, I filed an online complaint #11639036 with you regarding Jaguar Land Rover of North America's (JLRNA) failure to comply with mandated Recall #23V637 concerning my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (VIN [XXX] ------). During a follow-up call with your office on February 5, I emphasized the urgent nature of my complaint due to the safety risk at hand and attempted to clarify that this was not a new complaint, but regarding an existing recall. Yet, I have not received any form of response from your office over these last 4 weeks. Therefore, I am submitting this letter via certified mail/return receipt to ensure official acknowledgment of my complaint. Summary of Non-Compliance: Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLRNA) is in violation of U.S. Code Title 49, Subtitle VI, Part A, Chapter 301, Subchapter II, Section 30120, specifically regarding the unreasonable delay in remedying Recall #23V637, issued on November 18, 2024. Per the recall notice, JLRNA committed to reacquiring affected vehicles, including mine. Despite my full compliance with au necessary recall-mandated steps, JLRNA has failed to provide the required remedy, nor have they processed any payment or reacquisition of my vehicle. Section 30120 of the statute states: •(2) Failure to repair a motor vehicle or replacement equipment adequately within 60 days after its presentation is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. •(3) If the Secretary determines that a manufacturer's remedy program is not likely to be completed within a reasonable time, the Secretary may require the manufacturer to accelerate the remedy program if there is a risk of serious injury or death. Since the recall was issued over 90 days ago, and JLRNA has not complied with its obligations, I am requesting that the Secretary of Transportation conduct a hearing to determine whether JLRNA has met the reasonable remedy requirements under §30120. The delay in compliance has placed my family and me at significant risk due to the fire hazard associated with this defect. Requested Actions: 1.Immediate investigation into JLRNA's failure to comply with Recall #23V637. 2.A formal hearing to determine whether JLRNA has met the reasonable remedy requirements under §30120. 3.Enforcement action to compel JLRNA to fulfill its legal obligation without further delay. I request written confirmation of your receipt of this complaint and an update on the next steps within 14 days of this letter's delivery. Please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding the status of this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
