2019 Jaguar I-PACE

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?

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.

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.

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.

Since April of this year, the car has consistently had problems! A few months ago, it started turning off suddenly!! Yes, suddenly even while driving! This was very alarming. I took it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it stayed for almost a month to be fixed! Then towards the end of August, it started running out of charge / not charging after driving a few miles with a dashboard warning to "stop immediately". I again shipped it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it has been there since then (over 6 weeks now!) Talking to the dealer, they do not seem to be certain of what happened and keep changing things. I am not sure if I feel safe driving such a car or owning it beyond the warranty

ON FEBRUARY 12, 2020, I LEFT THE HOUSE AROUND 9:15 A.M. TO ATTEND A YOGA CLASS AT 9825 CARROLL CENTRE ROAD, SUITE 400, SAN DIEGO. THE YOGA STUDIO IS LOCATED IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND AS I WAS EARLY, THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY EXCEPT FOR ONE OTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM THAT MORNING. SO I DROVE AROUND IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, #9825, AND DECIDED TO PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE FROM THE ONE VEHICLE PARKED THERE. SEE FIGURE 1. (SEE MAP OF 9825 CARROLL CENTER ROAD LOCATION. THE RED RECTANGLE SHOWS WHERE I PARKED; BLUE RECTANGLE SHOWS WHERE THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AT 9:30 AM ON WEDNESDAY, 2/12/20.) AS I SLOWLY PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS ONE DOES WHEN PARKING, THE JAGUAR I-PACE SUDDENLY SURGED AND ACCELERATED, DRIVING OVER THE CURB AND HEDGE IN FRONT ON TO THE OTHER SIDE AND RAMMED INTO THE PARKED VEHICLE, A VW BEETLE! IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE! SEE FOLLOWING PICTURES INCLUDING TREAD MARKS, SHOWING THE ACCELERATION WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE PARKING SLOT. I WAS VERY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT AND SAT IN THE CAR FOR SOME TIME IN TOTAL DISBELIEF. THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR OR IN THE CAR I STRUCK. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MOVE, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR CAREFULLY AS IT WAS BALANCED ON TOP OF THE BUSHES WITH SOME OF THE WHEELS IN THE AIR. THE OWNER OF THE VW BEETLE ALSO CAME OUT ASKED IF I WAS OK. FORTUNATELY, I AM PHYSICALLY OK, JUST VERY SHAKEN AND TRAUMATIZED BY THE ENTIRE INCIDENT WHICH HAD LASTED NO MORE THAN SECONDS. THE NEXT 6 HOURS WERE SPENT CALLING MY INSURANCE, AAA FOR EMERGENCY TOWING, RENTAL CARS, ETC. BY MID-AFTERNOON OF FEBRUARY 12, 2020, I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF JAGUAR SAN DIEGO THAT MY I-PACE CHECKED OUT OK AND ALL SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE CURRENT!
