2020 Jaguar F-Pace Problems

The contact owns a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that while parked or while driving on several occasions, the rear passenger-side seat belt strap became loose and failed to retract as needed, requiring the contact to fiddle with the seat belt until it retracted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and to the dealer, but the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V667000 (Seat Belts). The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side seat belt failed to retract as intended. The contact's brother-in-law was seated in the rear seat and the seat belt failed to retract afterwards. The vehicle was taken to a non-Jaguar dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the seat belt automatic locking retractors had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V667000 (SEAT BELTS). The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

1. ENTIRE engine. And yes (it’s been sitting since May 2024 at Scottsdale AZ JLR) 2. The day after I filled coolant for a 'low coolant' check engine light, my car smoked going uphill and nearly caught fire. I pulled over just in time, then had to walk 2 miles at night, in 30°F weather, without cell service, in the desert. This is a known issue affecting thousands of similar cars, with a Facebook group of nearly 19,000 members reporting the same risks—cars smoking or blowing up without warning, even when serviced per JLR’s recommendations. JLR is refusing to honor warranties, and some incidents have resulted in complete vehicle fires. My attorney advised me to report this and share the FB group for reference: [XXX] 3. Both have confirmed the engine is done and needs an entire replacement. 4. By JLR of Scottsdale yes. Also an independent mechanic in Sedona. Also by my attorney’s expert mechanic who had the oil sent to a lab and when he read the report stated, “the primary cause of engine failure most likely is blown head gasket. That caused coolant to get mixed into the oil, thereby destroying the engine.” 5. NO…which is what is MOST concerning. Just ‘low coolant’ as I mentioned above, which I added. No other check engine light has EVER ignited on the vehicle, which is concerning to me, indicating that no warning lights ever came on which would have indicated to me something needed servicing before the entire engine just blew up. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Battery is drained every time I get an emissions inspection. Next day I have to get it charged and take it the dealer for a "software hard-rest." Supposed to fix problem but every year I have the same issue. Never a SW fix available.

The contact owns a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in the park gear, the vehicle unintentionally accelerated at approximately 10 MPH and the entire front of the vehicle crashed into several trees where it ultimately came to a stop. There was minor cosmetic damage. No warning light was illuminated. The air bags were deployed. A police report was filed. The contact stated that there were burns on her wrist and her forehead from the impact of the air bag; there was also a knot on the contact's forehead from impact. No medical attention was sought. No one was injured that was not in the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the diagnosis was pending. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Park assist was engaged. The prompt was to pull forward more. Then the park assist prompted to take hands off the steering wheel. The park assist maneuvered backward into parallel parking. Once it made the turn backing in, it sped up backward with no warnings on the camera or auditory alarms, and hit the vehicle parked behind our vehicle. My vehicle is damaged. The other vehicle is not. This is a serious problem. Not only did my vehicle sustain damage, but a person could have been there and it could have caused damage to the other vehicle. This park assist had the driver take the hands off the wheel, gave zero warnings, no visual or auditory, increased rear speed, and hit the vehicle. I want the event data recorder to be reviewed and for my car's fault to be remedied and my vehicle to be repaired.

1. When the start/stop fuel conservation system is engaged the vehicle intermittently powers off. I then have to push the start button to restart the vehicle 2. When the vehicle is engaged in sports and dynamic mode it intermittently stalls or locks up in 2nd gear

I drove through about 12 inch water during a flash flood rain down pour. After driving about 200 feet, my steering failed. The instrument panel displayed, power steering assistance reduced. I could not turn the the steering wheel to get in the parking lot. I Google to see what the problem was and there are a lot of people complaining with the same problem. I had towed to the shop and the extended warranty I purchased said it was preexisting problem. I had just purchased the vehicle approximately 3 months prior and had never had this problem. It only messed up after running the water and that is what other owners stated. My comprehensive insurance would not cover neither. Jaquar want to charge me $6700.00 for repair, which I believe should be cover under my warranty, insurance or Jaquar itself. I contact Jaquar headquarters but having received a response.Thank you

The heating element on the driver’s seat burned a hole in my seat through my sweater while I was driving. Burning smell was not sure where it was coming from. I almost caused an accident trying to maneuver over off the exit to see that my seat warmer is what was causing the Burning smell almost burned me.
