2017 Jaguar F-Pace Electrical Problems

The front drivers side headlamp malfunctioned after condensation entered the lamp via rain and then humidity. The issue first started April 12, 2026. I was leaving to go on a 260 miles drive when I pulled out of the drive way and I started getting a flickering "Dipped Beam Fault". It started flickering on and off as I was picking up speed to merge onto the interstate. I drove all those miles with my left thumb on the Menu OK button to clear it. Then it would come back on again as I was going through two major cities. It was very distracting and I kept glancing down every time it would light up. It did this for 5 hours. Also, my signal light was malfunctioning but I always tried to use it even so because of the heavy traffic. I called Jaguar when I got home and the women on the line said she had never heard of anything like this before and to take it to the dealership. So I took it to Jaguar and they did a complete inspection and told me the entire light component would have to be replaced because the seal is not good-even though the car has less then 100,000 miles on it, no reported accidents, and I was not informed by the dealer it has this problem when I purchased a few months ago.

This has happened to us 3 times where we would have between 17-25 miles left on gas in our car and the vehicle would completely shut down on us; once on the freeway and once on an extremely busy street. Once the car shuts down, we can turn it on in terms of lights, music etc. however the car will not come back on to drive. I’ve reported this to jaguar in San Francisco more than once and they keep saying it’s the gas. Our gas never reaches the red line.

THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS LESS THAN 18 MOS OLD, WAS AT RANDOM TIMES HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING (CHUGGING AND HESITATING). I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP, AND AFTER ONE DAY THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN, ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE BUTTON TO START THE CAR, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN, I PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT CHUGGED A LITTLE. I PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT CHUGGED AND HESITATED A BIT BEFORE STARTING. THE LIGHT HAD ALREADY TURNED GREEN AND I WAS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND CALLED THE JAGUAR LAND ROVER DALLAS DEALERSHIP TO ALERT THEM TO THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT FOR AT LEAST TWO TO FIVE WEEKS BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MANY OTHER CARS IN FOR SERVICE! I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND SAW OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENERGY SAVING AUTO STOP/START FEATURE THAT MUST BE DISABLED EVERY TIME ONE STARTS THE VEHICLE TO RENDER IT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED.
