2019 JAGUAR I-PACE Electrical System Problems

See attached document for complaint.

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.

This vehicle is part of a mandatory repurchase. I have had no contact from the manufacturer since March 20, 2025. The vehicle has been modified by the manufacturer from it's origional state while the reacquisition process is completed. It is no longer a usable vehicle because of this modification.

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...

My card displayed "Gearbox fault detected" on the instrument panel cluster. According to Jaguar Land Rover Technical Bulletin JLRTB0 2012 NAS3 released August 14, 2020, this could result in the car abruptly stopping when vehicle speed has reduced to 5 km/h (3 mph). The cause mentioned is "No retention to the front Electric Drive Unit (EDU) causing strain on the wiring going to the EDU parking lock actuator connector (C1YE113A). My JLR dealer in Naperville, IL, told me that the 2019 model wire was a few inches short and JLR fixed this in 2022 by adding a few more inches to the wire. However, the cost to fix this was $6700 since they had to take everything out of the car to fix this. Apparently, this issue has caused recalls in Norway and the U.K. but there was no recall for this issue in the USA. Besides being a danger...

VIN tool confirms parts not available.

In connection with Recall H514, my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (SADHD2S16K1 F76172) had a battery fire risk that led Jaguar to issue a software update. Without prior notice, the update permanently disabled full battery function by capping the vehicle’s charge at 80%, significantly reducing range and usability. The update was irreversible and materially changed the safety and performance of the electric vehicle. After being forced to seek a replacement, I purchased a 2020 Jaguar I-Pace (SADHD2S17L1F81804). During transport of the 2020 vehicle home, it exhibited an “Electrical Battery Fault” warning, raising serious concerns about the continued reliability and safety of Jaguar’s battery systems even after the recall. This ongoing pattern of battery issues places consumers at risk of fire, vehicle immobilization, or loss of propulsion. Jaguar’s recall remedy has proven ineffective at fully addressing the underlying electrical and propulsion safety issues.

Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLR) continues to neglect its federal recall obligations for the 2019 I-PACE under recalls H441, H514, and H536, exposing owners to serious fire risks. Despite multiple recall efforts, thermal overload incidents persist, proving JLR’s interim remedies—software updates and charging restrictions—are ineffective. JLR admits in its notices that affected vehicles remain unsafe, yet fails to resolve the defect or provide fair compensation. The only remedy is a manufacturer buyback, but JLR systematically undervalues offers, basing them on depressed Kelley Blue Book (KBB) values from Oct 2024 instead of pre-defect values minus reasonable depreciation. This forces owners into financial losses while JLR’s delays further erode resale value. JLR has refused to provide clear documentation on its buyback calculations, delayed responses to affected owners, and employed coercive tactics, telling consumers to accept flawed offers or risk future depreciation. In March 2023, nine months after purchasing our I-PACE, we...

We were getting repeated warnings that the vehicle's main battery had errors. We took it in repeatedly, and kept getting the errors. After taking it in after the H514 buyback program was announced, the dealer, Jaguar Landrover Manhattan, told us they're not even going to attempt repair (the vehicle is under full warranty), since we're just going to get the car repurchased by JLR. We've been waiting for the buyback for going on two months now, nothing has happened.

The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Car recalled with buy back remedy under 24V-633 and H514 recalls. Timely resolution has not been provided as it has been over 5 months since the H514 recall and it is not reasonable to expect a customer to park and charge outside while limiting charge to 80%. The hazard has not been mitigated with no attempt by Jaguar to contact us to buy back the car in the past 5 months (told we'd be contacted within the next few weeks in December 2024). Attempted to contact JLR customer service relationship center on 4/7/25 with high call wait time.

UNKNOWN Respected Sir/Madam, This is in relation to recall H536 under which Jaguar has decided to do a forced buyback with lowball offer and no repair option is offered causing me heavy loss to get a similar replacement car or continue to drive unsafe car which can cause severe bodily injury or property damage. The NHSTA guidance for remedy as mentioned on the page 12 of document for "Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recalls" (link below) requires manufacturer to repair, replace or refund with reasonable allowance but I don't see Jaguar is offering reasonable allowance as their offered prices are based on the October/2024 date while the fire risk was already known from 2023 via recall H441. So I wanted to understand how NHSTA can help in this case and force Jaguar to take reasonable steps to resolve this situation. [XXX] Thanks, [XXX] P.S. I am selecting the incident date...

Jaguar is not being forthcoming or acting in good faith in the process of the final remedy for the NHTSA Recall Number24V-633. They contacted me and provided an offer which I do not believe reflects the true value of my vehicle. I would have kept this car on which I owe nothing for another 5 years or more. The car was $80K new kept in mint condition and has a 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. It has 52,000 miles on it now. They made a small improvement in the offer after I complained but I am being forced to sell the vehicle back to Jaguar and purchase a new one or put myself and others at risk of injury or property damage due to this battery fire risk. They are providing no documentation of the offer amount they are providing which appears to be KBB from Oct 2024. The...

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V633000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the vehicle was limited with the distance the vehicle could be driven due to the limit on the maximum charge of 80%. The dealer was contacted, and the vehicle remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and the contact was provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

We started having issues with the battery back in 2023. Smaller batteries were replaced, and the car went in several times for "updates" due to recalls. The last two times were due to potential over-heating of the battery and a "track fault detected" error message displayed on the dash and the mileage decreased. Most recently the car was in the shop for 2 weeks early 2025 to replace a faulty cell in the larger battery. This was the most recent recall "fixing" the issue -- but when we received the car it wouldn't charge past 80%, meaning it was not fixed and able to charge to 100%. A letter received 3/19/25 confirmed the issue was indeed not fixed and that these cars needed to be purchased back in order to comply with safety measures. These cars are literal moving fire hazards. We have a short driveway and the car is...

My car has been limited to charging only to 70%. I often smell a kind of burning plastic when driving, but no smoke or fire. In addition the console display often freezes up or is completely blank.

Last November I got a recall notice saying Jaguar would buy back my car. It is now March and Jaguar has yet to initiate the buyback. I have called the Jaguar 800 number and they confirm my car is part of the buyback but will not provide a timeline. They say that since they are buying back thousands of cars I just have to keep waiting until they contact me, but it has been 4 months now and I am beginning to doubt it they have any intention of actually buying it back.

On January 28, 2025, I filed an online complaint #11639036 with you regarding Jaguar Land Rover of North America's (JLRNA) failure to comply with mandated Recall #23V637 concerning my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (VIN [XXX] ------). During a follow-up call with your office on February 5, I emphasized the urgent nature of my complaint due to the safety risk at hand and attempted to clarify that this was not a new complaint, but regarding an existing recall. Yet, I have not received any form of response from your office over these last 4 weeks. Therefore, I am submitting this letter via certified mail/return receipt to ensure official acknowledgment of my complaint. Summary of Non-Compliance: Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLRNA) is in violation of U.S. Code Title 49, Subtitle VI, Part A, Chapter 301, Subchapter II, Section 30120, specifically regarding the unreasonable delay in remedying Recall #23V637, issued on November 18,...

used as daily drive for commute to work, each return to home, i would put it on the 7.5kw juicebox level 2 charger- this worked well since april 2024, until march 2025- upon returned from work, i place it on charge, and immediately went into "charging status error", with another message after disconnecting the charger port, "High voltage error but is ok to drive" message. Thinking it was a fluke, i let it sit few days, unplugged, and then attempted to check battery status on the driver dash screen, "high voltage error but is ok to drive" msg reappeared, i shut it off, waited 10 minutes, plugged in the charger that came with the car, 1.2kw charger, opened the driver door, waited for the screen to come on and display the battery charging status, to no avail. "Charging status:error" and in all red, and a red triangle on the right...

Car has completely failed several times in the middle of busy streets including the freeway on ramp. Jag has replaced the 12v battery once, tried to update software and now the car is totally inoperable. Los Angeles Jag dealer has had the car for 5 months with no definitive communication nor reliable timeline. I have been told the car will be repaired and delivered for months, now they say Jag will not repair but I have not been contacted for the buyback. I need transportation. I need help to get them to expedite and pay me a the fair value.

No communication or attempt since November 6, 2024 from JLR to resolve NHTSA Recall Number 24V633000 which is noted as a fire/safety risk re: high voltage batteries. Repurchase noted as final remedy. JLR outsourced call center provided "in a couple of weeks" eta when contacted on 3/12/2025. Vehicle charge capacity limited to 80% by JLR, significantly impacts utility of vehicle in addition to safety risk.

The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and stalled. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle was seized after the gear shifter was shifted to park. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the first dealer for another diagnostic test; however, the dealer refused to perform the diagnostic test or service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Several battery modules have been replaced in less than two years of ownership. Spoke w JLR , they will contact me soon. It’s been almost 10 months and I have not heard back. My vehicle range has been incredibly reduced, thereby restricting driving range. Unable to charge for fear of property damage. Please assist with expediting this matter. Thanks.

Dear Sir, JLR is purposefully delaying repairing our cars, replacing the battery. They reduced our charging capacity to 80% as part of the H514 recall to avoid battery fires which makes the car unusable for long drives. Now as part of the recall H536, they are purchasing our vehicle at KBB value as of October 2024 which is low balling us. Car prices have taken major hit because of the battery issues/recall. I have a question relating to Recall 24V-633/H536. On your website the status is listed as: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available. The Jaguar recall website lists the status as: Repair Description: As a final remedy, JLR will reacquire vehicles from affected customers. It is reported that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is offering customers a buyback amount based on Kelley Blue Book (KBB) valuations as of 18 Oct 2024. This is the date that H536 was made public....

This vehicle is a lemon. The electrical system has major fault. The vehicle stops randomly even when it is in motion, which is a major hazard in itself. Plus, the car battery is a fire risk. This vehicle is a weapon with potential to kill buyer, family, and friends, and cause property damage to anything nearby. It would possibly lead to a California-wide wide fire as well.

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 notified on the 6th of November 2024 of a H514 safety Recall; it is now the 19th of February 2025 with no fix communicated. This is beyond what I believe is 'a reasonable amount of time' to remedy this defect.

Car has been in and out of the shop over past year and a half. 6 months in the shop and now under recall H536 since December. Have called multiple times and keep being told will be contacted in a few weeks. No contact at all and car is limited to 80% charge. This keeps going on with no resolution and I cant make a move on another car until they settle this. Incompetent handling of this situation. Car is supposed to be repurchase by Jaguar.

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.

There is a recall regarding fire danger with the battery. No solution to fire issue. We are left with a dangerous car still subject to fire potential, as well as significantly degraded range due to a software update forced on the car by the recall.

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?

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...

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...

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.
