2019 Jaguar I-PACE

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.

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.

My vehicle was recalled due to safety issues relating to the potential for the high voltage battery to catch fire(Recall H514- 24V633000). The interim fix was to reduce the capability of the vehicle to 80% charge, which negated the need to park away from structures. This was completed by my dealer in Nov 2024. The final fix for this issue was for the vehicle to be repurchased "As quickly as possible". A new recall was announced in February 2025 (H536-24V-633. In this recall the following statement is very worrying "Owners who have previously had their vehicle updated with the improved diagnostic software are under the impression that their vehicle is protected from thermal overload which, for 2019 model year vehicles may not be the case." . I do not believe based on that statement that my vehicle is safe. I have not heard anything from Jaguar since Nov 6th 2024 and although I have called and emailed them they say you will hear something in the next couple of weeks, now 3 months later I am no nearer the promised repurchase and I have a potentially unsafe vehicle parked in my garage.

With respect to this recall: Nov 18,2024 Manufacturer Recall NumberH536 NHTSA Recall Number24V-633 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Remedy As a final remedy, JLR will reacquire vehicles from affected customers. JLR has not reached out to me on the next steps and I'm driving around with a vehicle with a known risk including thermal overload. JLR shouldn't have an indefinite timeline to execute the final remedy, reacquire of vehicle. I submitted a reacquire request to JLR customer service in Nov. 2024, but have yet to hear back from JLR after 3 months.

Jaguar notified owners of the recall's temporary fix and the ultimate remedy of buyback going back some months. The notice included contact information for Jaguar Relationship Centre. I have reached out on multiple occasions to the contact information provided in the recall notice to gain clarity on the buyback process and been told that the department we were told to contact has no information and can't help. To date, I've paid for out of pocket expenses incurred with the ownership of a car that will be bought back, have seen a depreciation in value of the vehicle which likely impacts the ultimate buyback price and have been provided zero information on when this process should be completed or how it will be completed. Jaguar has failed to remedy the specifics of the H514 recall in a timely fashion, now adding an H536 recall. Further the contact information they provided led to a department that was unable to provide any information regarding the ultimate remedy for the recall in question. I'd like the contact information of someone at Jaguar that can provide information on the process and a clear expectation of when it will be completed as H514 has been marked as closed though the final remedy for H514 has not been completed.

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.

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
