FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Car has completely failed several times in the middle of busy streets including the freeway on ramp. Jag has replaced the 12v battery once, tried to update software and now the car is totally inoperable. Los Angeles Jag dealer has had the car for 5 months with no definitive communication nor reliable timeline. I have been told the car will be repaired and delivered for months, now they say Jag will not repair but I have not been contacted for the buyback. I need transportation. I need help to get them to expedite and pay me a the fair value.

Several battery modules have been replaced in less than two years of ownership. Spoke w JLR , they will contact me soon. It’s been almost 10 months and I have not heard back. My vehicle range has been incredibly reduced, thereby restricting driving range. Unable to charge for fear of property damage. Please assist with expediting this matter. Thanks.

Dear Sir, JLR is purposefully delaying repairing our cars, replacing the battery. They reduced our charging capacity to 80% as part of the H514 recall to avoid battery fires which makes the car unusable for long drives. Now as part of the recall H536, they are purchasing our vehicle at KBB value as of October 2024 which is low balling us. Car prices have taken major hit because of the battery issues/recall. I have a question relating to Recall 24V-633/H536. On your website the status is listed as: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available. The Jaguar recall website lists the status as: Repair Description: As a final remedy, JLR will reacquire vehicles from affected customers. It is reported that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is offering customers a buyback amount based on Kelley Blue Book (KBB) valuations as of 18 Oct 2024. This is the date that H536 was made public. However, on page 12 of your publication titled, "Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recalls: What Every Vehicle Owner Should Know", it states the following: "In the case of a vehicle recall, the manufacturer may choose to repair the vehicle at no charge; replace the vehicle with an identical or similar vehicle; or refund the purchase price in full, minus a reasonable allowance for depreciation." Question: If your stated remedy requires a manufacturer to "refund the purchase price in full...", how is it that JLR is allowed to remedy this unresolveable safety hazard with something other than full purchase price? Please provide details that include statutes if applicable. Thank you for your speedy response. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle is a lemon. The electrical system has major fault. The vehicle stops randomly even when it is in motion, which is a major hazard in itself. Plus, the car battery is a fire risk. This vehicle is a weapon with potential to kill buyer, family, and friends, and cause property damage to anything nearby. It would possibly lead to a California-wide wide fire as well.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

Fire danger for years in my 2019 jaguar ipace. Unable to solve. Resolution is finally to buy vehicle back, no action 4 months now waiting for action. In addition to 13 months in the shop. This is not prompt as they claim and it continues to be used on public roads, carrying passengers, parking and chaging in congested areas including next to hospitals due to the inaction. Someone needs to force forward motion before someone gets hurt.

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.

I was notified on the 6th of November 2024 of a H514 safety Recall; it is now the 19th of February 2025 with no fix communicated. This is beyond what I believe is 'a reasonable amount of time' to remedy this defect.

Car has been in and out of the shop over past year and a half. 6 months in the shop and now under recall H536 since December. Have called multiple times and keep being told will be contacted in a few weeks. No contact at all and car is limited to 80% charge. This keeps going on with no resolution and I cant make a move on another car until they settle this. Incompetent handling of this situation. Car is supposed to be repurchase by Jaguar.

There is a recall regarding fire danger with the battery. No solution to fire issue. We are left with a dangerous car still subject to fire potential, as well as significantly degraded range due to a software update forced on the car by the recall.

Dear NHTSA, I am filing this complaint regarding my Jaguar I-PACE, which is subject to the recall for battery fire risks. I have attempted to work with Jaguar regarding a vehicle repurchase, but they have failed to provide a clear timeline or next steps. On [XXX], at 11:13 AM, I spoke with Jaguar Customer Care, and they informed me that someone would contact me but did not provide a timeframe. Today, I followed up again at 1:29 PM and 2:09 PM, only to be told that there was no email address available to escalate my concerns and that I would be contacted at an unspecified time. This lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable, given the serious safety concerns involved in this recall. I am requesting NHTSA’s intervention to ensure that Jaguar follows proper procedures and provides affected owners with a timely resolution, including repurchase options where applicable. I believe their handling of this recall is causing unnecessary delays and putting consumers in a difficult position. I would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed, as Jaguar has left me without a clear path forward. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was informed over three months ago of the battery problem with a chance of fires. I’ve been calling JLR, and keep getting told the same thing: that they are in the process of reaching out to customers to buy back the vehicles since they can’t fix the problem, and “someone should be in touch in about 2 weeks”. Nobody has contacted me via either phone or email. My last calls to them were on 1/31 and 2/15. Same response. Given this is a serious condition, how can they wait for 3 months?? I would like to get to resolution soon so that there are no safety issues that I have to constantly worry about.
