Update of prior complaints, worsening high voltage battery failure on a vehicle that JLR/the federal safety agency’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 the federal safety agency have cleared from the record. Status JaguarUSA/the federal safety agency’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.

Service brakes
- What is wrong
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 I-PACE vehicles. If the electrical regenerative brake system fails, there will be an increased delay between when the driver brakes and when the vehicle decelerates. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
- Risk
- A delay in deceleration, increases the distance needed to stop and the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the software to reduce the delay, free of charge. The recall began June 12, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1‑800‑637‑6837. Jaguar's number for this recall is H213.

the federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency. 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.

Consistent faulty battery warning back in the winter. Recently the brake pedal warning comes up very often, brake also feels like I need to apply more pressure when stopping. The lane assist also always gives me a warning light saying to drive with care.
used as daily drive for commute to work, each return to home, i would put it on the 7.5kw juicebox level 2 charger- this worked well since april 2024, until march 2025- upon returned from work, i place it on charge, and immediately went into "charging status error", with another message after disconnecting the charger port, "High voltage error but is ok to drive" message. Thinking it was a fluke, i let it sit few days, unplugged, and then attempted to check battery status on the driver dash screen, "high voltage error but is ok to drive" msg reappeared, i shut it off, waited 10 minutes, plugged in the charger that came with the car, 1.2kw charger, opened the driver door, waited for the screen to come on and display the battery charging status, to no avail. "Charging status:error" and in all red, and a red triangle on the right side of the dash display was present, along with brake error. I unplugged it, and attempted to move it further away from my house in case there is a problem i can't see, to no avail, i can not move it. the software updater shows no update available for the vehicle or for the infotainment center. the nearest dealer for me is over 40miles from me (rural area)- i have sent emails to JLR, and have not received acknowledgement or any replies.
I have had issues with this car in terms of the various batteries. some of this has caused other issues with other components such as the brakes. I was driving last week on the freeway when my traction battery light came on and the brakes basically stopped working (Its was hard to press the brake pedal). The when i start it it again everything working fine. I took it to the dealer and notified jaguar only to find out a buyback program is in place so I started it. I find it interesting that Jaguar had never contacted me regarding this buyback and I only found out about it when I did my own research. Very scary to think of. So now I have my car back and it is only able to charge up to 80% of the capacity which does not work and I am also very scared to drive this vehicle around. I am now going through the jaguar buyback process but it is slow and in the meantime I have nothing to drive. They know the car is a lemon and they have agreed to buyback so why is it taking soo much time?
See attached document for complaint.
The contact owns a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt significantly hard and the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing the braking distance to be extended. The message "Okay to Drive with Caution - Brake Pedal Feel Reduced" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where one of the 12-Volt battery was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact replaced the second 12-Volt battery; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing battery failure. The messages "Okay to Drive with Caution - Traction Battery Fault Detected" and "ASPC Not available" were displayed. The contact stated that the main battery was replaced. Additionally, the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was repaired under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V369000 (Electrical System); however, the failure increased after the recall repair. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the front drive motor failed to shift into gear, causing the vehicle to stall. The message "Gear Box Failure" was displayed. The contact was unable to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the drive motor and pawl actuator harness had failed and needed to be replaced. The parts were replaced. The contact also stated that water had leaked onto the dashboard through the windshield. The dealer replaced the windshield and the head display. The contact stated the brake failure had been recurring intermittently while driving. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
No normal braking available; unable to place car in park as normal; unable to turn car off as normal; The All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) lamp illuminated to confirm that the ASPC system is enabled however the brake warning lamp illuminates but the vehicle cannot be driven with care contrary to what the manual states, but seek qualified assistance urgently contradicts dangerous hard no braking system probably due to corrupt auxiliary battery system employed by Jaguar. Driving home near my house and into the garage the whole braking and parking system becomes difunctional was difficult to shut off car. Next day checked I-PACE system and was difficult to turn on back out. Drove down the block tested brakes. Brakes hard and secure or operable as brakes. Returned to garage slowly relying on car to stop some how with unusable brakes. Brake battery shoes 10.84 volts. Will contact dealers on Monday concerning unsafe to drive I-Pace due to jeopardized braking by system design.
35mph limit road, moderate traffic, speed of 30-35mph suddenly car shows an error message on screen with regards to electrical fault of traction battery and reduced feel of brakes. On a contrary, brakes became extremely hard and unresponsive (zero braking efficiency) - car moving 30mph, no change in forward motion (minor jitter on the steering wheel), barely managed to change lane to avoid collision. If right lane would be occupied, that would be a certain collision with a car in front of me as I would have no place to bring the car to safety. Brake message cleared when the car stopped.
Brakes failed, and battery died at full speed in a 35 mile zone, luckily slight up slope and car came to a halt. Complete battery and brake failure, the whole system shut down. No answers from jaguar, just a battery replacement. Again, brakes failed at full speed!
