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.

Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLR) continues to neglect its federal recall obligations for the 2019 I-PACE under recalls H441, H514, and H536, exposing owners to serious fire risks. Despite multiple recall efforts, thermal overload incidents persist, proving JLR’s interim remedies—software updates and charging restrictions—are ineffective. JLR admits in its notices that affected vehicles remain unsafe, yet fails to resolve the defect or provide fair compensation. The only remedy is a manufacturer buyback, but JLR systematically undervalues offers, basing them on depressed Kelley Blue Book (KBB) values from Oct 2024 instead of pre-defect values minus reasonable depreciation. This forces owners into financial losses while JLR’s delays further erode resale value. JLR has refused to provide clear documentation on its buyback calculations, delayed responses to affected owners, and employed coercive tactics, telling consumers to accept flawed offers or risk future depreciation. In March 2023, nine months after purchasing our I-PACE, we experienced the first of three "Traction Battery Faults," narrowly avoiding fire. Since then, our vehicle has been restricted to an 80% charge, reducing range by 26% while still requiring outdoor parking due to fire risk. JLR’s failure to act promptly violates federal safety standards and leaves affected vehicles as potential hazards in public spaces. I urge NHTSA to investigate and enforce timely recall remedies, fair valuation processes, and immediate buyback completion. Owners should not be receiving emails like this. "It appears that we cannot agree on the repurchase of your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE impacted by recall H514/H536. Please note that this final recall remedy will remain open on your vehicle. In the future, should you decide to accept the H536 final recall remedy (repurchase) for your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE, the amount offered at that time may not be the same as today, due to depreciation, age, and mileage."

We were getting repeated warnings that the vehicle's main battery had errors. We took it in repeatedly, and kept getting the errors. After taking it in after the H514 buyback program was announced, the dealer, Jaguar Landrover Manhattan, told us they're not even going to attempt repair (the vehicle is under full warranty), since we're just going to get the car repurchased by JLR. We've been waiting for the buyback for going on two months now, nothing has happened.

Car recalled with buy back remedy under 24V-633 and H514 recalls. Timely resolution has not been provided as it has been over 5 months since the H514 recall and it is not reasonable to expect a customer to park and charge outside while limiting charge to 80%. The hazard has not been mitigated with no attempt by Jaguar to contact us to buy back the car in the past 5 months (told we'd be contacted within the next few weeks in December 2024). Attempted to contact JLR customer service relationship center on 4/7/25 with high call wait time.

UNKNOWN Respected Sir/Madam, This is in relation to recall H536 under which Jaguar has decided to do a forced buyback with lowball offer and no repair option is offered causing me heavy loss to get a similar replacement car or continue to drive unsafe car which can cause severe bodily injury or property damage. The NHSTA guidance for remedy as mentioned on the page 12 of document for "Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recalls" (link below) requires manufacturer to repair, replace or refund with reasonable allowance but I don't see Jaguar is offering reasonable allowance as their offered prices are based on the October/2024 date while the fire risk was already known from 2023 via recall H441. So I wanted to understand how NHSTA can help in this case and force Jaguar to take reasonable steps to resolve this situation. [XXX] Thanks, [XXX] P.S. I am selecting the incident date of [XXX] as this was the date I received the email related to buyback process.

I bring to your attention the inappropriate handling of the 2019 IPACE buybacks by Jaguar Land Rover North America, JLR. I own a 2019 IPACE purchased new from Jaguar Fort Lauderdale. In Oct 2024 and Feb 2025, JLR abandoned its attempts to repair the defective batteries of these cars and filed recall notices H514 and H536 with the NHTSA. JLR offered to buy back all 2019 IPACE vehicles as a definitive solution to the battery safety issue. JLR has made take-it-or-leave-it offers based on the 10/24 Kelly Blue Book values to repurchase the cars. I consider the date and the KBB value to be irrelevant to the 2019 Jaguar IPACE issue.On March 6, 2025, JLR offered me 29% of the original purchase price to repurchase my vehicle. I did not accept the low offer because, under consumer protection and warranty laws, the car should be repurchased at its original value minus a mileage deduction. My car has 40,000 miles on it, which is well within the 100,000-mile or 8-year warranty period for the battery. The KBB value reflects the dramatic drop in the market price of my vehicle in the used car market, resulting from JLR's inability to fix the batteries. Using the KBB value unfairly penalizes me for JRL’s manufacturing errors and failure to correct faulty equipment. If the car’s battery were working, the car would be worth more. I requested that JLR adhere to its Dispute Resolution Manual, which offers a resolution to warranty disputes through the Better Business Bureau Autoline Program. Despite its contractual promise, JLR refused to participate in the BBB process. As a result of JLR’s warnings, I understand that I have a potentially unsafe vehicle parked outside my garage. I am faced with the prospect of driving a car that poses significant safety issues or accepting a low offer that does not allow me to buy an equivalent vehicle. I respectfully request that the NHTSA consider asking JLR to fulfill its obligation to address the buy-back value or accept mediation or arbitration.

Jaguar is not being forthcoming or acting in good faith in the process of the final remedy for the NHTSA Recall Number24V-633. They contacted me and provided an offer which I do not believe reflects the true value of my vehicle. I would have kept this car on which I owe nothing for another 5 years or more. The car was $80K new kept in mint condition and has a 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. It has 52,000 miles on it now. They made a small improvement in the offer after I complained but I am being forced to sell the vehicle back to Jaguar and purchase a new one or put myself and others at risk of injury or property damage due to this battery fire risk. They are providing no documentation of the offer amount they are providing which appears to be KBB from Oct 2024. The KBB for this car is diminished due to the battery issues which are the root of this recall. In addition to acquire a replacement vehicle I will need to spend time and money (sales tax, registration fees) for which they appear to be ignoring in the offer. They are also dragging the process out given how long ago this issue was identified. Seems it is the same issue that Chevy and others have dealt with from LG batteries, so why when Jaguar agreed with NHTSA to repurchase these vehicles in November 2024 are they not being responsive during the repurchase process. Is there anything we can do to improve this? I'm only asking them to come up from $27K to $30K to make the offer reasonable - not great but at least not insulting.

We started having issues with the battery back in 2023. Smaller batteries were replaced, and the car went in several times for "updates" due to recalls. The last two times were due to potential over-heating of the battery and a "track fault detected" error message displayed on the dash and the mileage decreased. Most recently the car was in the shop for 2 weeks early 2025 to replace a faulty cell in the larger battery. This was the most recent recall "fixing" the issue -- but when we received the car it wouldn't charge past 80%, meaning it was not fixed and able to charge to 100%. A letter received 3/19/25 confirmed the issue was indeed not fixed and that these cars needed to be purchased back in order to comply with safety measures. These cars are literal moving fire hazards. We have a short driveway and the car is next to our house and I am scared to have it on my property. The offers being sent are absolutely unacceptable, not even enough to cover what is remaining on the car loan. The purchasers of these cars should not be held accountable FINANCIALLY for the deplorable actions of LG and Jaguar/Land Rover.

Last November I got a recall notice saying Jaguar would buy back my car. It is now March and Jaguar has yet to initiate the buyback. I have called the Jaguar 800 number and they confirm my car is part of the buyback but will not provide a timeline. They say that since they are buying back thousands of cars I just have to keep waiting until they contact me, but it has been 4 months now and I am beginning to doubt it they have any intention of actually buying it back.

On January 28, 2025, I filed an online complaint #11639036 with you regarding Jaguar Land Rover of North America's (JLRNA) failure to comply with mandated Recall #23V637 concerning my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (VIN [XXX] ------). During a follow-up call with your office on February 5, I emphasized the urgent nature of my complaint due to the safety risk at hand and attempted to clarify that this was not a new complaint, but regarding an existing recall. Yet, I have not received any form of response from your office over these last 4 weeks. Therefore, I am submitting this letter via certified mail/return receipt to ensure official acknowledgment of my complaint. Summary of Non-Compliance: Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLRNA) is in violation of U.S. Code Title 49, Subtitle VI, Part A, Chapter 301, Subchapter II, Section 30120, specifically regarding the unreasonable delay in remedying Recall #23V637, issued on November 18, 2024. Per the recall notice, JLRNA committed to reacquiring affected vehicles, including mine. Despite my full compliance with au necessary recall-mandated steps, JLRNA has failed to provide the required remedy, nor have they processed any payment or reacquisition of my vehicle. Section 30120 of the statute states: •(2) Failure to repair a motor vehicle or replacement equipment adequately within 60 days after its presentation is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. •(3) If the Secretary determines that a manufacturer's remedy program is not likely to be completed within a reasonable time, the Secretary may require the manufacturer to accelerate the remedy program if there is a risk of serious injury or death. Since the recall was issued over 90 days ago, and JLRNA has not complied with its obligations, I am requesting that the Secretary of Transportation conduct a hearing to determine whether JLRNA has met the reasonable remedy requirements under §30120. The delay in compliance has placed my family and me at significant risk due to the fire hazard associated with th

used as daily drive for commute to work, each return to home, i would put it on the 7.5kw juicebox level 2 charger- this worked well since april 2024, until march 2025- upon returned from work, i place it on charge, and immediately went into "charging status error", with another message after disconnecting the charger port, "High voltage error but is ok to drive" message. Thinking it was a fluke, i let it sit few days, unplugged, and then attempted to check battery status on the driver dash screen, "high voltage error but is ok to drive" msg reappeared, i shut it off, waited 10 minutes, plugged in the charger that came with the car, 1.2kw charger, opened the driver door, waited for the screen to come on and display the battery charging status, to no avail. "Charging status:error" and in all red, and a red triangle on the right side of the dash display was present, along with brake error. I unplugged it, and attempted to move it further away from my house in case there is a problem i can't see, to no avail, i can not move it. the software updater shows no update available for the vehicle or for the infotainment center. the nearest dealer for me is over 40miles from me (rural area)- i have sent emails to JLR, and have not received acknowledgement or any replies.
