What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2019 Jaguar E-Pace, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
When coming to a stop the or even when trying to pull out the vehicle will shut off and you have to turn the car off to restart it and then switch back to drive and then the vehicle will go but it may turn off again if coming to a stop.
AT RANDOM INTERVALS, THE ENGINE FAN GO INTO A 'ROAR' AT 100% RPM AND NOT STOP UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE (SUMMER AT 90F, WINTER AT 30F AKA JUST NOW). THE FAN NOISE IS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THE ENGINE RPM AND REMAINS CONSTANT ONCE IT STARTS. THE CAR CAN BE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED AND THE FAN WILL BE RESET AND SILENT, SOMETIMES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THE JET-ENGINE SOUND FROM THE FAN IS NOT FIXED BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, JUST RESET TO THE NEXT DAILY OCCURRENCE. OUR 9 MONTH OLD E-PACE WILL DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY IF NOT MORE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDEAL IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE FROM THE FAN. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF.

My 2019 Jaguar E-PACE is showing code P26CB related to coolant pump performance. The vehicle is experiencing the same coolant/water pump failure symptoms reported in similar Jaguar vehicles, but my VIN was excluded from coverage. This issue creates risk of overheating, engine damage, and possible loss of power while driving. I believe additional affected VINs may not have been included because my vehicle is now showing the same known failure symptoms despite not being covered.
Description of Incident: While driving on the highway, my 2019 Jaguar E-PACE suddenly and without warning lost power, putting myself and others at serious risk. The vehicle went into limp mode with no prior indication of any issues. Once the failure occurred, a warning message appeared on the dashboard stating “Gearbox Fault,” and the transmission temperature began to rise rapidly. This failure occurred during active highway travel, with no safe shoulder or emergency lane available due to nearby construction. I was nearly rear-ended as I attempted to safely navigate off the road. This incident could have resulted in a serious accident. The issue has been confirmed and reproduced by a certified Jaguar dealership, which has inspected the vehicle and verified the problem. The vehicle displayed no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The safety risk this defect poses is extremely concerning, and I am requesting a full investigation into this matter. Component(s) Involved: Transmission / Gearbox System Available for Inspection: Yes, vehicle is available upon request Confirmed by Dealer: Yes Inspected by: Jaguar Dealership Warning Lamps/Symptoms Prior to Failure: None

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
