Brake recalls for the 2020 Jaguar I-PACE
Brake complaints
Today, my vehicle experienced a serious malfunction while parked on a public street near my home. After starting the vehicle and attempting to move it, the vehicle rolled backward, and the brake pedal felt unusually soft, with very little apparent braking effectiveness. The dashboard displayed a traction battery fault warning, followed by a brake-system failure warning. A loud alarm sounded, and the vehicle subsequently shut down completely. I could no longer restart or even lock it. I immediately stopped...

attempting to operate the vehicle. It remains stranded on the street. This incident also caused me to miss a scheduled medical appointment. This is not the first high-voltage system problem with my vehicle. During an earlier visit to the same authorized Jaguar dealership, technicians documented a high-voltage system isolation fault and performed recall action H570. I paid approximately $270 for the initial diagnosis. The dealership then quoted an additional $4,233 plus tax to continue investigating the fault. Now, before that underlying problem has been resolved, my vehicle has suffered a much more serious failure involving the braking system and complete loss of vehicle operation. When I contacted the dealership, I was directed to Jaguar Roadside Assistance, which quoted towing charges starting at $125, depending on distance. At the same time, the dealer service manager called me back saying no technicians available for my car until next Thursday, so I stopped paying for the road assistance. The car is now still sitting on the street near my home. I am deeply concerned about the safety and reliability of this vehicle, particularly because the braking-system warning and reduced braking effectiveness occurred while the vehicle was moving.
I am filing this complaint regarding my 2020 Jaguar I-PACE and recall H572 involving the high-voltage battery pack. My vehicle has approximately 90,000 miles. I received information regarding recall H572, which involves a potential thermal issue with the high-voltage battery pack that can create a safety risk. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle because of the battery issue and the potential for a high-voltage battery failure or thermal event. I have relied on this vehicle for...

transportation, and the recall has significantly affected my confidence in the vehicle and its safety. I have contacted Jaguar Land Rover regarding this issue and have attempted to have the matter resolved. I believe NHTSA should be aware of my experience because this involves a high-voltage EV battery and a potential fire/thermal safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and review whether Jaguar Land Rover's handling of this recall adequately addresses the safety risk to owners of affected I-PACE vehicles. I can provide recall information, repair records, communications with Jaguar Land Rover, and other documentation upon request.
When braking the car jumps then brakes, the electrical system flickers sometimes and it won't go into gear. If not used for a couple days a warning comes on. This has happened 2 times despite buying a new battery is what the dealership said it needed. Now it's in the shop again for the same thing and not once did they tell me about the recall and now charging me for the software updates from the recall
Total brake system failure. Vehicle would not stop with two feet applied to the brake pedal. Third time this has happened. Jaguar has previously repaired.
I was exiting a parking spot and I had my foot on the brake to start the vehicle and again to put the car in reverse. I backed out of my parking spot and turned 90 degrees to exit the parking lot. As I pushed down on the brake to stop and shift to drive, the pad that covers the brake pedal fell off, causing my foot to slip and hit the accelerator. I then struck another vehicle with the back of my car. In looking at the car after the accident, the pad that normally covers the brake pedal was on the floor of the car, between the brake and accelerator. At the body shop, one of the people said there is supposed to be a clip that holds the pad, but it was either broken or missing on my car.
Was driving vehicle downhill on a small hill in Palm Springs when multiple error messages appeared in rapid succession on the information display, including 'traction battery fault - safe to drive with caution'. This was immediately followed by "pull over and stop the car" but before I had the chance to do so ALL the systems in the car ceased to operate and all electrical systems shut down. The breaks would not work, the steering would not work. I was still traveling down hill and unable to stop the car. The car...

continued for approximately 1/2 a mile and went through two stop signs. Fortunately it was early morning and there were no other vehicles , or pedestrians around, if there had been I would have been unable to avoid hitting them. My safety and that of any other driver or pedestrian who could have been on the road was seriously compromised. The car finally came to rest towards the bottom of the hill and I was able to exit the vehicle. Had this happened if I was traveling at speed on a freeway, I hate to contemplate the consequences. This same problem happened about 4 weeks ago, but fortunately the total shut down occurred while the car was stationery in my garage. The dealership towed the truck then and returned it to me a few days later, saying they had resolved all the issues - but clearly not. I have no confidence in the safety of this car. The dealer is collecting the car today to return it to the Jaguar dealership in Rancho Mirage.
