NHTSA Complaint #11642038 — 2019 JAGUAR I-PACE

I was informed of a recall (H514) to my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace stating that the vehicle would be reacquired by the manufacturer because of battery thermal overload defects that could not be remedied. I have contacted Jaguar's customer service hotline for the recall numerous times by telephone and email between November 2024 and now (February 2024). I am repeatedly given misinformation that the Jaguar buyback specialist team will be reaching out to me within the next few days, or next few weeks. I was originally told I would be contacted in early December, then told it would be no later than the end of December. I have reconfirmed on several occasions that they have my correct phone and email contact information. There has been no communication whatsoever about next steps for the buyback, other than to tell us to continue to wait. I confirmed with the Jaguar customer hotline that no one has opened a case on my vehicle, yet and that I must just continue to wait. In the meantime, we are instructed by the recall that the car may have a battery thermal overload while parked, that we cannot charge to more than 80% capacity, and that it must be parked outdoors rather than in the garage. I have patiently waited for 3 months under these very limiting conditions to my car, with severely reduced driving range and risk that my car could overheat and cause a fire or smoke at any time while parked. Jaguar either is highly disorganized or they are deliberately refusing to comply within a reasonable time period with the recall buyback remedy. Please order Jaguar to contact its affected recall customers and to reacquire the vehicles without further delay, which is a safety risk to everyone.
