2019 Jaguar XEElectrical systemDriver assistance

Subject: 2019 Jaguar XE - Recall H535 Did Not Restore Rear Camera Function I own a 2019 Jaguar XE that experienced rear-view camera failure consistent with Recall H535 regarding rear camera wiring issues. My rear camera stopped functioning before recall service, which is why I brought the vehicle to the dealer. After performing the recall repair, the dealer advised that the camera itself may have failed and may require replacement outside the recall remedy. My concern is that the recall-related condition either...

besides "salt" & "moisture" has gotten inside and these things just happen. This does not sound like normal wear and tear for a 6 year old car with that low of miles. Especially when taken care of. Can not pinpoint exactly how moisture got inside or where in the line. States the battery line brings the power from the back of the car where the battery is to the front and the voltage isn't getting through to start the vehicle. What if you were driving and then suddenly it gave out due to this? This sounds like a safety issue and jaguar doesn't want to be reliable for it. I had no indication anything was wrong with it just one day it worked and then the next day it didn't.

While driving on the highway at normal operating speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost power, and the accelerator pedal became completely unresponsive, preventing me from maintaining speed or safely exiting the roadway. This created a severe safety hazard, as I was unable to maneuver or pull off to avoid fast-moving traffic. Immediately after, I attempted to shift the vehicle into "Park," but received an on-screen message stating that the transmission was not in Park, even though the shifter was physically in the Park...

position. The gear selector became disabled, and I was unable to shift into any gear. Despite applying the emergency parking brake, the vehicle continued to roll on its own, presenting a serious risk of collision or injury. There were no warning lights, messages, or alerts prior to or during the failure. I had no indication that a critical fault was occurring. The vehicle was later towed to a dealership. Upon inspection, a certified JLR technician discovered faulty wiring in the gear shifter assembly, which had caused a short circuit that disabled the gear selector, the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the Engine Control Unit (ECU), and the gearbox inside the transmission.

Engine start stop button provides haptic feedback when pressed but does not start or stop the engine, unless pushed with enough force. The haptic feedback leads the operator to believe they have correctly depressed the button but the engine has not stopped/started. This is concerning as while the car is in "drive" you could think you have stopped the engine when the button has clicked but not stopped the engine.
