2020 Jaguar I-Pace electrical problems

The high-voltage lithium-ion propulsion battery pack/modules. The vehicle is currently in my possession and is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle's battery cells are at risk of thermal overload, which can lead to a catastrophic vehicle fire. Because a permanent hardware fix has not been provided for nearly a year, I am forced to park and charge the vehicle strictly outdoors away from structures to protect my home, family, and neighbors. Furthermore, the mandatory interim software update has artificially capped my vehicle’s battery charge at 90%, significantly degrading the vehicle’s driving range, usability, and value without resolving the underlying physical defect. The vehicle has been serviced and documented by an authorized Jaguar dealership for the interim recall software installation, meaning the manufacturer is fully aware of this specific vehicle's affected status. The vehicle was flagged directly by the manufacturer via a formal safety recall notice regarding battery fire risks. Following the interim dealer software update, the vehicle now displays a permanent restriction limiting the maximum state of charge to 90%.

EV main battery has a recall out since March 30, 2026 and its been over 7 months and the car dealer will not even take my car in for repairs. They are claiming no fix so they won't look at it. The battery capacity is severely down and I now get only about 60 miles per charge. It will only charge to 72% and it now uses 1% of capacity per mile. The battery need to be replaced but they are claiming that it is out of warranty even though I am under the 8year/100,000mi limit. Since the recall is on the car they will not fix or replace the battery. I was turned away from the dealer when I took the car in to get serviced, they said no work is allowed on battery system.

Vehicle: 2020 Jaguar I-PACE, purchased new in Washington State Problem: Unresolved high-voltage battery safety recall and prolonged delay in permanent remedy. As of October 2026, they have not given an adequate remedy for a fire hazard defect known for over a year +. I am filing this complaint regarding the extended delay in providing a permanent remedy for the high-voltage battery safety recall affecting my 2020 Jaguar I-PACE. Jaguar has installed an interim software update restricting the vehicle’s charging to 90% and has recommended that the vehicle be charged outdoors because of the battery fire risk. Although these interim precautions have been implemented, I remain concerned about the unresolved battery safety defect and the length of time Jaguar has taken to provide a permanent repair or other definitive remedy. The charging restriction reduces the vehicle’s usable battery capacity, and the recommendation to charge outdoors creates additional inconvenience and concern about safely owning and charging this vehicle. I ask the federal safety agency to review the length of time this recall has remained without a permanent remedy, the adequacy of the interim measures, and whether Jaguar is providing an effective and timely resolution to affected owners. Please record this complaint as a concern regarding the ongoing safety risk and the delay in providing a permanent recall remedy.

My 2020 Jaguar I-PACE, VIN [XXX], is subject to Safety Recall 26V‑067 (JLR H570/H572) for high-voltage battery thermal overload. The interim remedy, a software limit to 90% charge, was installed [XXX] at the nearest dealer, Des Moines, IA, more than 130 miles from my home; the dealer kept the car until April 21 for what the recall letter called a 30-minute update. As of October 7, 2026, the federal safety agency's VIN lookup shows the recall open on this vehicle with "remedy not yet available," eight months after the February 5, 2026 filing. The vehicle has its original battery pack and every prior recall completed. The park-outside instruction is not practical where I live, and the 90% limit leaves about 160 miles of range, so the car cannot reach the dealer without a charging stop. I asked Jaguar Land Rover North America for a repurchase on April 20 and July 10, 2026. On April 23 they refused a review as "outside of the manufacturer warranty period." That was wrong: I bought the car from Jaguar Des Moines on [XXX] as a Jaguar Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, and Jaguar's own CPO delivery checklist lists the CPO warranty expiration as [XXX]. The 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty runs to [XXX]. The July request got no reply. JLR's Part 573 report for 26V‑067 states that for the 2019 model year with the same defect, JLR decided on [XXX] to reacquire the vehicles because "battery pack supply is heavily constrained." The 2020 vehicles carry the same at-risk cells, and no remedy has been offered. I am reporting this vehicle as one for which the manufacturer has not provided a remedy in a timely manner.

It seems that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) told the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), as late as February 5, 2026 that, regarding manufacturer recall number H570/1/2, a "vehicle thermal overload condition such as fire or smoke can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle..." exists in the iPace, which caused JLR to tell the USDOT that "in the interest of timely resolution for...customers, … that the permanent remedy for the defect in these vehicles would be to reacquire the vehicles,”....a plan of which JLR told the USDOT it would notify owners of on April 3, 2026. As of today, I have yet to receive JLR’s independent notification that my iPace was not safe to charge indoors (which I have done for the duration of my ownership of the vehicle, until I learned of the recall on or about August 20, 2026 through my independent internet search for iPace recall.) I have yet to have been offered a reacquisition of my vehicle, yet I can, now only charge up to 176 miles or 80% and I can no longer park overnight in my garage while charging. It appears JLR was aware of this defect as early as the year 2020, but concealed this in the internet advertisement for the vehicle and the sales paperwork that I was provided to purchase the vehicle on April 28, 2021, facts which, if communicated, would have resulted in my not having purchased an iPace. I stumbled upon this information after the “traction battery fault” indicator illuminating in mid-August 2026, when my Jaguar service advisor told me there “was a recall on the car that they cannot fix.” JLRs handling of the recall with respect to reacquiring affected vehicles is not as it discussed with the USDOT. JLR has not reacquired all H570/1/2, cars. As a retired DOT OIG agent, I question whether JLR made material omissions or misreps' about the iPace’s battery defects or about Jaguar’s intent to reacquire the 2,278 iPaces, to the USDOT to preclude crim' or reg' investigation.

Main batter has a recall for fire hazed which Jaguar is not fixing. Car gave a battery warning while driving but luckily, I was able to get home before it completely failed. Dealer will not fix the main battery which is the cause of the issue but want me to pay $4000 for a air conditioning issue they say caused electrical failure yet the battery is known to be faulty.

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 the federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency 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.
