2019 Jaguar I-Pace Electrical Problems

Update of prior complaints, worsening high voltage battery failure on a vehicle that JLR/NHTSA’s VIN lookup NOW show as having NO Open Recalls. Beginning 9/8/26: The "Traction Battery Fault" warning appears on EVERY start-up, without exception. Since then: The vehicle has displayed “High Voltage System Fault Detected,” "Reduced brake feel", and "Restricted performance" warnings accompanied by PHYSICAL symptoms. On multiple occasions A sudden, hard shudder from the undercarriage happened, as if the vehicle had struck an object. After the most recent "High Voltage" trip/shudder, the max state of charge auto-dropped from 80% to 72%. It had previously been limited from 100% to 80% without my consent. HVAC failure: The A/C has NOT worked properly in ~2 years. In humid/rainy FL conditions the windshield cannot be cleared for hours, and I cannot drive safely until it does. Each fault occurrence has been photographed/dated. Safety concerns Reduced braking feel, traction battery, restricted power, high voltage system faults**, and impaired visibility are safety-critical on any vehicle. On an I-PACE they sit alongside a KNOWN thermal runaway fire risk in the high voltage battery that Jaguar and NHTSA have cleared from the record. Status JaguarUSA/NHTSA’s VIN lookup both show no open recall for this VIN. I have not received any type of, or documentation regarding a completed remedy, and the Jaguar dealer where I bought and serviced the vehicle (Tampa) has closed. Jaguar Orlando refuses to return my calls requesting records or action regarding the safety issue. If any remedy was recorded as "completed", the failures above indicate it was in NO WAY effective. Requests Review this VIN’s recall completion history, including the date, servicing dealer, and repair order for every recall remedy recorded. Evaluate the adequacy of the recall remedy for H536/H514 in light of this report. Have an ODI investigator confirm, in writing, the complaint# & a point of contact.

NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint Update | VIN: [XXX] | 10/7/26 | Owner: [XXX] Over the past three weeks I have experienced continuous traction battery fault warnings on my Jaguar I-Pace. As of approximately one week ago these faults are now accompanied by a "High Voltage System Fault Detected" warning. I had been told by a Jaguar tech that the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) is supposed to reset and wipe these codes after "4 cycles" of the car turning on and off, so the daily faults have been very concerning. Today the vehicle produced a severe physical shudder and automatically reduced charge capacity from 80% to 72% — a new and concerning development; i'd also like to note that Jaguar's battery warranty explicitly calls a battery defective at 70%. Where some more severe cases were initially reduced to 72% charge by the Jaguar dealerships, my car was set to 80% until today. I have photographed each fault occurrence for documentation. I contacted Jaguar Orlando service to speak with a technician or manager regarding these escalating faults. After a five-minute hold I was informed they have not serviced this vehicle in two years and that someone would call me back. No callback has been received. JLR/Morley's repurchase offer, submitted after years of delay and multiple document requests, does not reflect the recall-driven depreciation this vehicle has suffered. I have not accepted it and they have once again "closed my case" which i hope is NOT being reported to NHTSA. I did not "decline", I simply did not accept to play into their coercive tactics. These are not intermittent or minor issues. This vehicle presents an active, documented, and worsening safety risk as it deteriorates on the street due to the harsh Florida climate. I am requesting escalation to an ODI investigator. Contact: [XXX] | [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

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 few days later, Morley indicated that they would be settling the case by paying my KBB value, despite the fact that I am in California. I hired an attorney, who contacted Morley. We heard nothing for several weeks, during which time the dealership contacted me and insist I remove my car as they had heard nothing from Morley in the prior 30 days. The dealership tried to have me pay for services I did not authorize, and had taken apart and removed the windshield wiper and grill and interior covers under hood and had not reinstalled, nor were they in the car. The car was left on their lot, which an acknowledged rodent problem, for 30 days. Morley then insisted that the attorney work directly with JLR NA. Attorney sent demand to them on April 26 , but one month later w have heard nothing. The car does not drive, and is stored outside on my driveway. 60 days in, and we have no contact from JLR, let alone a satisfactory resolution.

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 to the public (if the car stops in the middle of the road with little warning), not including the US in the recall makes me feel JLR didn't do right by their customers in the US. I opened a Case {[XXX]} with JLR and their response was that I did not avail of recall H484, wherein I am supposed to buy a new 2024 Jaguar iPace and they would refund me $35,000 for my car. I was not ready to invest another $50,000 in a replacement. I was also given the impression that the only reason for the H484 recall were because batteries were catching on fire, so I agreed to get a new battery. When they replaced the battery, they could have also replaced the wiring going to the parking lock actuator connector (C1YE113A) so that I (in addition to other USA 2019 Jaguar owners) would have been safer and we would not have had to incur $6700 expense now to get this wiring fixed.

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 experienced the first of three "Traction Battery Faults," narrowly avoiding fire. Since then, our vehicle has been restricted to an 80% charge, reducing range by 26% while still requiring outdoor parking due to fire risk. JLR’s failure to act promptly violates federal safety standards and leaves affected vehicles as potential hazards in public spaces. I urge NHTSA to investigate and enforce timely recall remedies, fair valuation processes, and immediate buyback completion. Owners should not be receiving emails like this. "It appears that we cannot agree on the repurchase of your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE impacted by recall H514/H536. Please note that this final recall remedy will remain open on your vehicle. In the future, should you decide to accept the H536 final recall remedy (repurchase) for your MY2019 Jaguar I-PACE, the amount offered at that time may not be the same as today, due to depreciation, age, and mileage."

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.

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 of [XXX] as this was the date I received the email related to buyback process.
