2019 Jaguar I-PACE Fuel System Problems

There is a buyback of this vehicle and I have been waiting over six weeks to hear from the company, every time I reach out I am told someone will contact me within two weeks. I have yet to hear anything.

I was instructed to not charge my vehicle beyond 80% due to fire risk. I have elected the buyback from Jaguar Land Rover as my remedy of choice and have delivered the vehicle to the nearest dealer on February 17, as I was instructed to do so "anytime after February 13" as the agreement was made January 13 and payment would take 30 days to process. 43 days have now elapsed since the agreement and JLR NA have had possession of the vehicle for 8 days without payment. Now the JLR NA rep doesn't take my calls or return my emails.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles are at risk of having their high voltage battery overload and smoke or catch fire. The manufacturer now are attempting to buy back the vehicles at KBB fair market values. Their fix should come at no expense to the owner, however they sold defect free and now are depreciated due to the fire risk, which is a great expense to the owners. Owners may not be able to replace the vehicles at these buyback prices and are forced to turn down the buyback offers. This is an unfair/deceptive practice that leaves owners liable of the fire hazard by driving their vehicles.

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.
