ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I own a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace, VIN SADHD2S14K1XXXXXX, that has been subject to multiple recalls because of an ongoing fire hazard related to tl1e high voltage battery. The "traction battery fault" indicator has returned to my dashboard only one month after five battery modules were replaced by my local Jaguar dealer. I am currently able to charge my car to only 70% of its maximum and have been unable to get any helpful response from my local Jaguar dealer nor Jaguar Land Rover North America. My car has functioned nearly perfectly up until 2 days after I received notice of the first traction battery recall over one year ago. Since that time, I have had my car in the Jaguar dealership on 7 different occasions to either diagnose or make repairs related to the traction battery fault. Each of these visits is associated with several days of loss of use of my car. A single traction battery module was replaced by my dealer in April of 2024 and an additional five modules replaced in October. I have not been charged for any of these repairs, but my dealer has been far from sympathetic and each of these diagnosis and repair visits has been accompanied by warnings that I might be held financially responsible for the service. About one month after the latest battery repair, the traction battery fault indicator has returned. I have recently received another advisory that I should have my car adjusted so that it cannot charge above 70% max. As this is already the status of my car, I see no need to take the car in for this adjustment. Despite emails and phone calls to my dealer and to Jaguar Land Rover NA, I have not received any information on a way forward. Since the first recall, I have been advised not to park my car within a parking structure because of fire risk. This is impossible for me and there is no location that I can park my car for work where a fire would not pose a substantial risk to surrounding people and property. I would like Jaguar to replace my traction battery and resolve this problem once and for all. Thank y

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have had issues with this car in terms of the various batteries. some of this has caused other issues with other components such as the brakes. I was driving last week on the freeway when my traction battery light came on and the brakes basically stopped working (Its was hard to press the brake pedal). The when i start it it again everything working fine. I took it to the dealer and notified jaguar only to find out a buyback program is in place so I started it. I find it interesting that Jaguar had never contacted me regarding this buyback and I only found out about it when I did my own research. Very scary to think of. So now I have my car back and it is only able to charge up to 80% of the capacity which does not work and I am also very scared to drive this vehicle around. I am now going through the jaguar buyback process but it is slow and in the meantime I have nothing to drive. They know the car is a lemon and they have agreed to buyback so why is it taking soo much time?

The vehicle is in an unsafe condition for fire risk. It is currently parked and unusable. Jaguar was unable to apply the specified charge limitation when delivered to the Dealership for the interim safety measure. Jaguar is ordered to buyback this vehicle, but has not performed any contact for months sine the vehicle was brought in to the dealer. Repeated calls to Jaguar USA customer service has continuously repeated that they cannot provide any service or information. They state there will be a group created in the future for the service. NO INFORMATION or guidance is published for the buyback purchase amounts. Currently, I DO NOT have a vehicle that can be driven and I do NOT have a loaner vehicle.
