Jaguar I-Pace was being charged, at home, using the 220v charging system. The charging unit had been in use with this vehicle for 5.5 years. On July 4, 2024 at 11:53 am, white smoke was observed coming from underneath the car. The charger was disconnected from the car. The fire department arrived and moved the car away from the house. At that time no smoke was visible and an infrared detector showed no heat. Approximately 1/2 hour later the car burst into flames, from underneath the car, just before the rear tire. The car was consumed in flames before the fire department could put the flames out.

Since purchasing our vehicle, we have been beset with several problems. The battery system to the vehicle has been malfunctioning consistently since at least June of 2022. The entire electrical system in the vehicle did not respond. We had to have the vehicle towed to the local Jaguar dealer. In June of 2023, we had another instance where the car was not coming on and we had been receiving notification about a -??traction battery fault.-?? We again had to get the car towed to the local Jaguar dealer because the vehicle was inoperable. We were told that the electrical battery and the auxiliary battery needed to be replaced after a service inspection on June 30, 2023 and -??that is why the vehicle would not start up for us.-?? We received notice on June 28, 2023 along with other Jaguar I-Pace owners about an open recall of the electric SUVs made from 2019 to 2024 in the United States. The recall notice number [XXX] was issued after the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that -??The high-voltage battery overheating increases the risk of a fire.-?? The NHTSA required the following remedy that -??the battery energy control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update. In addition, battery modules will be replaced as necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge.-?? Our car received an OTA update to the software of the vehicle following the NHTSA recall and was cleared for pick-up on [XXX]. Yet, this did not solve the problems with the car. The battery problems have only become more severe with the vehicle. In December of 2023, we again experienced an issue where we got a -??traction battery default-?? message. We took the car into the local Jaguar dealer out of fear of an electrical failure and the car becoming inoperable once again. The car stayed at the local dealer for over a month. The local Jaguar dealer informed us that the parts to replace the battery were on back order. Please see attached letter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATI

Concerning NHTSA ID Number: 11494560 Since filing the complaint in Nov 2022, the vehicle has had its parking assist module replaced, it was updated with latest software, and other camera software updated and calibrated. All of this was due to corruption and loss of functioning of all cameras when the software remedy for NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V709000 was installed. The problem of no backup and forward cameras remains. Conditions on 20 December 2023: 42F in garage. Destination 12.9 miles away. Arrived at destination with car reporting 21F degrees. Neither forward nor backup cameras worked; no images and no trajectory lines. Camera symbols on display indicate they are not available. After a 33 minute stop, got back in car, car reports still 21F degrees, backup camera now works, and forward camera does not. Drove back home (13.2 miles) and found backup camera works but forward camera is black screen with parking trajectory lines. It needs to be investigated for failure to comply with standards.

Front and rear cameras inoperative below 32F. This happens every winter. Car parked in warm garage overnight. Back out and drive sufficient miles (at least 10?) and find cameras "unavailable" per display message. Cameras in side mirrors work though. The lack of the back up camera violates the FMVSS requirement for the camera to activate within 2 seconds of reverse engagement. I have not yet reported this to the dealer as it requires cold weather conditions to reproduce.

The BCCM in a high number of 2019 Jaguar iPace cars are going bad. The BCCM is the main charging component of the vehicle that controls the electrical system and creates a huge hazard and series of malfunctions when it goes bad. It renders the car immobile and you can not charge it. The dealerships and Jaguar North America refuse to recognize this. There is a significant backorder of these parts because of this issue and the dealership mentioned to me that they see this issue ALL THE TIME. Jaguar should be recalling this part for those of us, like myself, whose car is out of warranty.

Since April of this year, the car has consistently had problems! A few months ago, it started turning off suddenly!! Yes, suddenly even while driving! This was very alarming. I took it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it stayed for almost a month to be fixed! Then towards the end of August, it started running out of charge / not charging after driving a few miles with a dashboard warning to "stop immediately". I again shipped it to the dealer in Cincinnati where it has been there since then (over 6 weeks now!) Talking to the dealer, they do not seem to be certain of what happened and keep changing things. I am not sure if I feel safe driving such a car or owning it beyond the warranty

I tried to move my Jaguar I-Pace car yesterday - totally unresponsive. Finally got a door to open; dash said the car had zero miles (it had 140 available when last shut off). Then got a "Charging System Fault" message. Dash info kept turning off. Car won't accept electricity to charge, charging panel lights kept flashing, then all the doors locked and the alarm went off, with no way to turn it off as the key fob didn't work. When I googled "charge system fault" it is a common problem causing major headaches. It happened to a neighbor too; another I-Pace, different year! This needs to be a recall so Jaguar will address this issue before their cars die, not after. Per the internet, Jaguar is sometimes taking weeks to fix this which is unacceptable.

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.

Upon driving out of our house to take kids to school there was an error message on display. Prior to this an update was done to the vehicle. Prior to update the vehicle charged battery with a range of 234. After the 'update' was done 2 days ago the battery did not fully charge despite being on a supercharger over 12 hours. The car charged only to about 160 and then displayed this message on the display : vehicle not fully charged. Power cut detected.

I started my vehicle as usual. It was a hot day outside in Washington. The car had been parked outside with the sun directly above. (inside the vehicle it was extremely hot) I immediately went to turn on the ac. It took a second to finally come on and then it didn't blow any cool air. I rechecked that I had it on the coolest temp possible. I drove around approximately 37 minutes and still no A/C. I have no idea how it went out or why. I checked my recalls and it stated all updates have been made to my vehicle and no recalls.
