JAGUAR Complaints

Vehicle began flashing Traction Battery Warnings along with warnings to stop driving car. I had been parking car outside for two years since notification from JLR to keep car outside and away from structures. Set up appointment for next day to have car towed to dealership, and asked them to attempt the latest software upgrade, understanding that it would not solve problem, but might make the car safe to drive. That same day, received buyback letter from JLR. Called dealer, told them to just try the update, nothing else. They asked me to pay $325 to inspect car. I refused and stated I was calling Morley as indicated in received letter. Called Morley, gave them information and followed up in email with all requested documentation. Morley advised me to keep the car at the dealership as they would be handling the buyback. Informed dealership that that was the plan. A few days later, Morley indicated that they would be settling the case by paying my KBB value, despite the fact that I am in California. I hired an attorney, who contacted Morley. We heard nothing for several weeks, during which time the dealership contacted me and insist I remove my car as they had heard nothing from Morley in the prior 30 days. The dealership tried to have me pay for services I did not authorize, and had taken apart and removed the windshield wiper and grill and interior covers under hood and had not reinstalled, nor were they in the car. The car was left on their lot, which an acknowledged rodent problem, for 30 days. Morley then insisted that the attorney work directly with JLR NA. Attorney sent demand to them on April 26 , but one month later w have heard nothing. The car does not drive, and is stored outside on my driveway. 60 days in, and we have no contact from JLR, let alone a satisfactory resolution.

The contact owns a 2017 Jaguar XE. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed an abnormally strong fuel odor. The contact parked the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that there was a large amount of diesel on the ground underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a hole in the fuel return line. The contact was informed that the fuel return line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred the following day. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. No further information was available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the safety failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated that the engine had overheated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V633000 (Electrical System); and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the battery energy control module software was updated as an interim recall repair. Additionally, the manufacturer was contacted and offered to repurchase the vehicle at the value price. The contact stated that the manufacturer denied covering the remaining balance on the vehicle loan. 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 failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

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.

We received a letter from Jaguar on 3/5/25 that our car has a fatal battery flaw that cannot be repaired which will necessitate a repurchase of the car. The flaw could result in a fire started by the battery. 7 weeks later and we have not been contacted by anyone from the third party group to start the process of the buyback of our recalled car. We proactively called the third party who confirmed they have our correct contact information. This concerns us greatly regarding the safety of our own property and our neighbors property since we live in a high risk wildfire district in Colorado. Every day that goes by is a day of worry that this car could put our family, neighbors and community at risk. Note: We did perform the prior recall repair (24V-633 or H514) which gates the charge to 80%. But that obviously isn’t the full solution since they are saying now it won’t overcome the underlying battery risk.

I was driving my car and all of a sudden my steering wheel became extremely hard to turn, and a warning appeared on my dash saying “power steering assistance reduced”. It took all my strength to get around the next turn. Luckily I was near my home and was only a few turns from my driveway. My husband looked under my car and the steering rack was cracked. After investigating online, it appears to be a common defect among Jaguar F Paces, and the cracks occur in the same two places, one of which matched the crack on my vehicle.
