2019 JAGUAR I-PACE Complaints

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.

All 2019 Jaguar I-Pace's were subject to numerous recalls due to battery issues for fire risk. The latest recall limited range and battery to 80% and its stated that ALL 2019 would be bought back. It has been months and Jaguar has yet to offer any recourse. I have called and emailed and keep getting told a specialised team would be contacting me in 2 weeks. Its been 3 Months and they same thing is being said. My vehicle is a fire hazard so I am constantly in fear that it will catch fire in my drive way (cannot park in garage per instructions) and potentially catch house on fire. Furthermore, we cannot functionally use car as intended as the range is severely limited. I would like to have Jaguar move forward swiftly with the buyback, as from what I can ascertain they will use KBB valuation but since the notification of buyback the value of I-Paces has precipitously fallen as they drag their feet. I have attached the notification on Jaguar's Recall portal with the following language: Repair Description As referenced in the previous letter, your vehicle will, as an interimcondition, have the maximum state of charge altered to 80%. This will protect your vehicle until the re-purchase is complete. The maximum driving range of your vehicle will be reduced accordingly. There will be no charge to owners for this repair.Separately, Jaguar will reach out to you and seek to work with you to arrange the re-purchase of your vehicle,with the aim of completing this as quickly as possible.

My 2019 First Edition I-Pace is subject to Jaguar recall H514, as per both the NHTSA and Jaguar web sites the solution is to repurchase the vehicle from me AFTER decreasing my max charge to 80% significantly reducing my available range, to the point I cannot rely on the vehicle for trips I was able to complete with no issue prior to the reduction in max charge. I have called Jaguar multiple times, as well as sending them email requesting status, in every contact the response from Jaguar has been as follows: "Customers affected by the H514 recall will be contacted in the coming weeks by a specialized team dedicated to handling this process. This team will provide detailed information and discuss available options for your vehicle." My last communication from Jaguar was Jan 6th. It is now two plus weeks post the last email, and still no contact from Jaguar, while driving a car that does not meet the specifications as stated by Jaguar when I bought the car. At this point it appears that Jaguar is purposely dragging their feet to induce owners to take the drastic action of trying to trade their car in on something different, when it is well known the cars are effectively non sellable due to the battery issues. Again, reading numerous owner forums some owners have just given up and are buying a replacement vehicle and dealing on their own trying to dispose of their 2019 I-Pace. My understanding is that once it was determined that repurchase was the only recourse that the NHTSA has an expectation of timely response from Jaguar to owners on completing this unfortunate process. Clearly, just from my own experience, this has not been an expedited process. I am hopeful that NHTSA can provide some leverage with Jaguar to actually execute on this process in a good faith and a timely manner. Owners purchased these vehicles in good faith, and expect good faith response by Jaguar to a problem not created by the owners. Thank you

Our car has been identified by Jaguar as part of the recall and we completed the software update to restrict battery charging. We opened a case with Jaguar on Nov 4, 2024 and were promised weekly updates. To date we have received NO updates or communication. We spoke to a representative last week and was told a dedicated team is working the cases but they have no ability to speak with the team. Additionally, I asked to be escalated to a manager to know where our case is and when we could expect a proposal for next steps. The Rep told us a call back will take 8 business weeks and that manager would have no information about our case. We are looking for an update and what the next steps are.

My vehicle is part of the jaguar recall H514. I have started the buyback process with jaguar and they are being slow and now I have a car that is only charging to 80% and I am scared to drive it. when I reach out to Jaguar they tell there is a process and that this will all take time. My issues is that it was me who started the process and per your recall notice they were supposed to contact vehicle owners and begin the process. It seems like its cut and dry and there toll free customer service line is not helpful.
