What owners wrote

A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.

My vehicle was in motion on a city street traveling 40 miles per hour and I collided head on with another vehicle without braking. The airbags did not deploy and because of that I sustained serious injuries; sever concussion, 3 broken vertabrae, and torn ligaments and tendons in my right ankle (driving foot). If the airbags had deployed I would not have suffered the injuries I did, this is a brand new car/model and I believe there is a defect in the frontal airbag sensor component.

I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment regarding the complete lack of support I have received from Jaguar Land Rover North America following a devastating incident involving my 2018 Jaguar F-PACE (VIN: [XXX]). In January 2024, while driving my vehicle, it suddenly caught fire. This fire was caused by an issue that was the subject of a recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jaguar f-pace. While driving various speeds, the infotainment screen seized and caused the backup camera to become inoperable while the vehicle was in the reverse position. While the vehicle was in motion, the failure caused all of the lights on the instrument panel to turn off. In addition, the dealer performed a hard reset. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and replaced the vehicle twice, but the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
