When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing

NHTSA investigations into the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

I received a Recall Notice dated 7/18/2023. I reached out to the manufacturer to obtain the new battery. As requested, I took the vehicle to my local dealer at which time they verified with corporate that my car needed the new battery as noted. I was told that the car could catch on fire because of the faulty battery. I was, of course, afraid to drive the car with me or passengers. I made many calls and sent emails to two different corporate reps at Jaguar. Many calls were not returned and emails were not answered. I believe that my local dealer also reached out to corporate in my behalf. I was advised that the car should not be garaged or close to any structures. Because of this, my car was moved to the street. Jaguar never got back to me to send the new battery to my local dealer for replacement. Had they replaced my battery in a timely manner, the car would have been stored in a garage when not in use. Since the car was exposed to the elements for Safety reasons, it blew up during the hurricane Helene on [XXX]. I am very disappointed with Jaguar Corporate for not fixing my recall so that my car could be in a safe place during Florida hurricanes. I feel that Jaguar owes my the value of the new battery to enable me to buy a new vehicle. Please advise. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Jaguar I-Pace was being charged, at home, using the 220v charging system. The charging unit had been in use with this vehicle for 5.5 years. On July 4, 2024 at 11:53 am, white smoke was observed coming from underneath the car. The charger was disconnected from the car. The fire department arrived and moved the car away from the house. At that time no smoke was visible and an infrared detector showed no heat. Approximately 1/2 hour later the car burst into flames, from underneath the car, just before the rear tire. The car was consumed in flames before the fire department could put the flames out.

I own a 2019 Jaguar I-PACE that is currently subject to a battery-related safety recall issued by the manufacturer. The defect involves the high-voltage battery system, which poses a potential fire risk and renders the vehicle unsafe to operate. Due to this recall, I have been advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive and should not be used. As a result, the vehicle is effectively unusable. This creates a safety concern because the battery defect presents a risk of thermal events, including fire, even when the vehicle is parked. The issue has been acknowledged by Jaguar Land Rover through the official recall. The vehicle has not been repaired because a complete and adequate remedy has not been made available. Jaguar Land Rover has inspected and reviewed the situation and has offered a buyback; however, the proposed resolution would leave me with approximately $10,000 in out-of-pocket financial loss despite the defect being manufacturer-related. There were no prior warning indicators that would have allowed me to prevent this issue. The problem became known upon notification of the recall. This situation has resulted in ongoing financial harm, as I am required to continue making payments on a vehicle that cannot be safely operated due to a manufacturer defect. The defective component (high-voltage battery system) is available for inspection upon request

The vehicle has experienced the Traction Battery Fault three times, which is the warning signal provided when there is a main battery fault situation. During the latest incident, the warning appeared and shortly afterward the vehicle emitted white smoke with an electrical odor and crackling from the front undercarriage. Emergency services were contacted through 911, and firefighters disconnected the 12V battery to stabilize the vehicle. Two previous traction-battery-related repair attempts were performed by Jaguar, and a third repair is currently underway. The repeated failure of the high-voltage traction battery system represents a potential fire risk and electrical hazard. I am reporting this incident to ensure NHTSA is aware of this high-voltage safety defect.

Vehicle: Jaguar I-PACE Model Year: 2019 VIN: [XXX] Mileage at incident: ~63,000 miles Dealers Involved: Jaguar Land Rover Ft. Myers (FL), Jaguar Land Rover Naples (FL) Incident Dates: June–September 2025 Complaint Summary: Between June–September 2025 my Jaguar I-PACE experienced warranty and service obstruction tied to the traction battery recall. Jaguar Land Rover Ft. Myers submitted a false warranty claim for traction battery replacement, which was denied by the insurer as excluded. At the same time, the dealer misled the ADA driver/policyholder with a “coolant pump fault” explanation, even though the A/C system was operating normally, which made that failure mechanically impossible. The dealership never provided diagnostic codes from TOPIx/Pathfinder. On [XXX], at ~63,000 miles, the I-PACE was immobilized by a 12V failure. Both Ft. Myers and Naples dealerships refused assistance, leaving an ADA driver stranded. I had to replace the 12V battery myself to restore mobility. This raised a serious safety issue, as an immobilized I-PACE cannot be moved to a safe location in the event of fire. Text messages show direct Jaguar Land Rover Corporate involvement, with Ft. Myers stating: “We started a tech case and they will not proceed until they know if it is a buyback” and “Tech assistance will not give us assistance because of the open recall for buyback.” This demonstrates corporate obstruction of warranty rights. Multiple owners reported traction battery faults from March–June 2025 before signing NDAs tied to buyback settlements. This suggests a wider pattern of recall-related service restrictions. Requested Action: NHTSA is requested to investigate Jaguar Land Rover’s handling of the I-PACE traction battery recall, including obstruction of warranty service, denial of diagnostic access, and treatment of disabled/ADA drivers. These issues may affect a large number of recalled vehicles nationwide. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle experienced a persistent series of malfunctions over the course of its use, primarily related to the electric battery system. The most serious issue is a complete failure of the high-voltage battery, rendering the car entirely inoperable. The vehicle now displays a "Battery Fault" error message and cannot be started or driven. The manufacturer (Jaguar Land Rover) refuses to repair the vehicle under warranty while a buyback negotiation is underway, leaving me with an unusable and potentially unsafe EV. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the issue, no adequate repair or restitution has been provided. The vehicle is currently in my possession and available for inspection upon request. The vehicle's battery failure occurred without warning, and the car is now immobilized in a location where it could pose a hazard if not towed. The sudden loss of power and refusal to start could have placed me or others at risk had this occurred while driving or in traffic. The Jaguar Service Center confirmed the issue is due to a battery fault but declined to repair it during ongoing manufacturer buyback discussion. No repair or further inspection has been done. The vehicle displayed repeated system alerts and warning messages over the past two years. Most recently, it showed a persistent "Battery Fault" message immediately before total failure. Earlier issues included unreliable charging, loss of power, and recurring error messages related to the electric drive system. The earliest warning messages began with the first year of ownership (within the last month). The complete failure with "Battery Fault" occurred in July 2025.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a safety-related recall (H514/H536) issued by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC for my 2019 Jaguar I-PACE. While Jaguar acknowledged the defect and offered a vehicle repurchase, I believe their resolution places an unfair financial burden on me, the consumer, despite the defect being entirely manufacturer-related. Jaguar has offered me a “Statutory Refund” of $31,987.25, while my vehicle loan payoff is $44,060.98—leaving me responsible for $12,073.73 out of pocket. I find this unacceptable given that the defect is not due to misuse or wear but rather a confirmed manufacturer issue under NHTSA Safety Recall H514/H536. This situation has created significant financial stress and emotional strain. I have not been negligent or abusive with the vehicle. I am simply a consumer seeking safe and fair resolution. It seems inappropriate that I should be penalized for Jaguar’s faulty product by being left in debt on a car I can no longer safely use. I respectfully request that NHTSA: •Review Jaguar’s handling of this recall and repurchase process •Investigate whether other owners are receiving similarly inadequate offers •Provide guidance on how consumers like me can be protected from incurring thousands in losses due to a confirmed manufacturer safety defect Thank you for your time and advocacy on behalf of consumer safety and fairness. I am available to provide additional documents, including Jaguar’s repurchase letter, at your request.

SERVICE BRAKES
Consistent faulty battery warning back in the winter. Recently the brake pedal warning comes up very often, brake also feels like I need to apply more pressure when stopping. The lane assist also always gives me a warning light saying to drive with care.

POWER TRAIN
Vehicle began flashing Traction Battery Warnings along with warnings to stop driving car. I had been parking car outside for two years since notification from JLR to keep car outside and away from structures. Set up appointment for next day to have car towed to dealership, and asked them to attempt the latest software upgrade, understanding that it would not solve problem, but might make the car safe to drive. That same day, received buyback letter from JLR. Called dealer, told them to just try the update, nothing else. They asked me to pay $325 to inspect car. I refused and stated I was calling Morley as indicated in received letter. Called Morley, gave them information and followed up in email with all requested documentation. Morley advised me to keep the car at the dealership as they would be handling the buyback. Informed dealership that that was the plan. A few days later, Morley indicated that they would be settling the case by paying my KBB value, despite the fact that I am in California. I hired an attorney, who contacted Morley. We heard nothing for several weeks, during which time the dealership contacted me and insist I remove my car as they had heard nothing from Morley in the prior 30 days. The dealership tried to have me pay for services I did not authorize, and had taken apart and removed the windshield wiper and grill and interior covers under hood and had not reinstalled, nor were they in the car. The car was left on their lot, which an acknowledged rodent problem, for 30 days. Morley then insisted that the attorney work directly with JLR NA. Attorney sent demand to them on April 26 , but one month later w have heard nothing. The car does not drive, and is stored outside on my driveway. 60 days in, and we have no contact from JLR, let alone a satisfactory resolution.
