2019 Jaguar I-PACE

Failed High Voltage Battery Module, unable to repair. - Initial problem started in 02-2024 - Multiple trips and service appointment reschedules due to technician availability and guidance from Jaguar on how to address - Vehicle was dropped off at the dealer 06-2024 and has been there ever since. - Currently recall now with final remedy of buyback. I have had no communication from the dealer and or Jaguar on time frame or next steps. When calling no one seems to have an answer. I have been in 9 different rental vehicles, and currently have to provide my own means of alternative transportation.

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.

After my Jaguar IPace was reprogrammed by the dealer for the 5th time in December, my mirrors have folding out issues, lane assist is malfunctioning, and there is a "coolant" warning and "service required" warning lights on my dash (Again). The Jaguar dealer has no information on and further updates or battery replacement. This car is now parked outside in case it catches fire per my recall instructions from Jaguar. How do I get a remedy for this?

I have been trying for 3 months to get a status update on the buyback for my 2019 Jaguar I-pace. I have had my car updated with software fixes that doesn’t prevent a fire, and reduces the charging ability to 80% range which severely limits driving range, especially in winter. In addition, I have been instructed to not park inside as structures can catch on fire. I am feeling very unsafe with the fire risk on this car. Jaguar dealership can’t answer questions about next steps on the buyback, and Jaguar North America continues to offer little details on when we will be contacted and appears to be dragging out situation. We are walking on eggshells trying to figure out what to do, and just parking it outside and not using our I-pace. Really want resolution on this super frustrating and potential dangerous car situation.

Jaguar contacted me multiple times now about safety recalls. Subsequently they performed a service which reduced the range of the EV from 230 miles to 170 miles, rendering it largely unusable for my driving needs. In addition according to their latest document, the “fix” may not eliminate the fire risk as we use the car. I have contacted them for 3 times now and they keep saying “soon” I will be contacted about a buy back because they are unable to fix the car and return it to spec. The car was also still in warranty. I do not believe JLR is proceeding at a reasonable pace as months have gone by since the earliest notices, not only inconveniencing and effectively defrauding its customers but also keeping our safety at risk. I am hoping NHTSA can intervene with Jaguar to do the right thing and honor their commitment to NHTSA and customers.
