2018 Jaguar F-PACE owner complaints

I believe my vehicle has a serious safety defect related to the engine cooling system that creates a fire and safety hazard. Specifically, coolant appears to leak from the cooling-elbow near the turbocharger, following a belt failure that lead to engine overheating and elbow pipe burst leading to coolant leaking on to the turbo heatshield or exhaust components. There was serious smoking when the issue happened and i shutdown on the highway as an emergency which most likely would have lead to an engine-bay fire or complete vehicle fire.. This failure mode and fire risk concern mirrors the defect described in NHTSA Recall 23V-221 (Loose or damaged coolant elbow leading to coolant leak on turbo/heatshield, risk of fire) for different JLR vehicles but ignores the F-pace model which I believe

Vehicle will lose power intermittently while driving and sometimes when you try to start the vehicle it will be come dead. I’ve replaced the battery and the problem still occurs. A few nights in a row the alarm system would just beep for no reason . I changed the key fob battery and that didn’t help either. The engine makes a weird noise and constantly jerks.also the engine shakes extremely bad even though I’ve had a tune up, I’ve called Jaguar consumer services to find out about past recall details and was advised that information wasn’t available to them if the services were actually completed or just cleared out & I’d have to call the service center that completed the recall/repairs. It’s impossible to do so as I’m not the original owner. Jaguar advised they couldn’t help and this is ve

Korea has recalled this model of FPace because the timing chain is known to break with less than 50K miles. I have also read lots of posts on Jaguar forums about 2.0 Diesel FPaces being known to have timing chain failure which necessitated a complete engine replacement. I am terrified that my timing chain is going to come off and damage my engine every time I get in it.

Backup camera and all parking sensors freeze when the car has been turned on and off in a short period of time and put into reverse. This happens about once a week. When I get in my car, put it in reverse after a short stop, the backup camera will freeze the image. The sensors will stop working, and the cross traffic detection will not work during this freeze. It lasts for about 30 seconds. Has not been confirmed by a dealer or service. No inspection done. No warning lamps or messages.

ADDITIONAL INFO FOR PRIOR SUBMISSION Link to forum where others share similar issue with their vehicles: [XXX] . Appears to be a growing issue. Jaguar has the part on out of stock status and requires U.S. dealers to order from the UK with no confirmed eta (told could take 5-6 weeks). As you can see in the picture I was given of the issue, I cannot drive this vehicle and Jaguar refuses to provide any support or contribution to remedy the issue. This includes not providing a replacement vehicle while my vehicle sits at the dealership. My standard driving conditions with this vehicle are city streets and general highway - no off-road conditions. Also no towing by the vehicle (it has never had a hitch installed). Please investigate how such an important component to maintain safe driving co

Car doors would not open from the outside of the vehicle and would not respond to the key fob’s signal either. The only way to get into my vehicle was to in climb through the trunk – which is a major safety concern. This first occurred on Janurary 13, 2023, and the dealership has been unable to resolve the issue since then, despite multiple attempts to do so.

Lost power steering during heavy rain. Power steering rack in 2018 Jaguar Fpace has crack that has caused water ingest.

2018 Jaguar F-pace power steering rack failure: Driving in heavy rain [XXX] on [XXX] entered a flooded roadway. The entire 4 lane roadway was flooded at the underpass. Thousands of cars in all 4 lanes passed through the flooded roadway at 10 MPH. The highway was backed up for miles. The water did not appear to be too deep (3 to 4 inches deep); however, water entered the steering rack and shorted out the electric steering and power steering failed, and warning came on that said “OK to drive with caution Power steering assistance reduced”, we then pulled off the road to see what had happened. My wife who was driving at the time could barely control the car as we exited the highway. Steering was difficult but I managed to make it home and parked the car. Since then, we brought it to our mech

Engine abruptly loses power when driving at normal speeds in both city and highway conditions causing potential injury and/or death to drivers and passengers. Jaguar/land rover is aware of this problem and continues to sell vehicles affected by this condition. Jaguar/land rover has been working on a software fix (p0190 software patch) for months, but has not notified drivers of this potentially serious condition.

While driving, the engine suddenly shut off without warning. The first incident occurred in May 2025 and stalled twice in late August 2025. Each time I lost motive power and steering/brake assist dropped, I coasted to a safe spot, turned the ignition off and back on, and the vehicle restarted. In May, a shop retrieved P0087 – fuel rail/system pressure too low. They could not reproduce the problem, added DEF, and cleared the code. The issue has recurred. No crash or injuries. The Check Engine light was on in May; no other warnings were noted at the time of the stall. The vehicle is available for inspection and is being towed to a diesel specialist for diagnosis. Suspected area is the fuel delivery system (low rail pressure). Odometer: 47,500.

In october 2018 I had recently purchased a used 2018 Jaguar f-pace. I was backing into the garage and noticed a bag laying in my path. I put the car in park (I thought), left the driver door open, got out of the car and walked into the garage to pick up the bag. As I bent over to pick up the bag, I heard a noise as the Jaguar was coming toward me when the open door of the Jaguar hooked onto the other car in the garage. I had no escape path but the door stopped the car from coming all the way to the wall. If it had not, I would have been trapped against the back wall of the garage. There was significant damage to the door,, fender, hood, etc from the impact and the other car had bumper and other damage. This was caused by the dial shifter not going all the way to park, but feeling like

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 Jaguar x671 (na). While driving in the snow, the snow piled up underneath the wiper blades and the sensors stopped the wipers from working. The failure caused the contact to have poor visibility while driving. The dealer (cherry hill Jaguar, 2000 nj-70, cherry hill, nj 08003, (856) 424-5300) was called and suggested the contact take a video of the occurrence. The contact recorded a video and emailed it back to the dealer who informed the contact that the service manager would call him back. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,930. *tt*jb

The rear seat belts in this specific configuration of the F-Pace have an issue where they get caught in the panel casing and then do not retract. The configuration matters (with rear heated/recline seats) because it gets caught in the panel that is unique to this configuration. The seat belts appear to work, but if you pull it angled too far away from the door (toward the middle of the car), the belt gets caught in the plastic panel, and then you can't get it to retract unless you force it back out of the plastic and out toward the door. High back booster seats reposition the seat belt in such a way so that this issue occurs every time. We tried with 3 different brands. The issue is that you can install the booster fine, and buckle your child in, without noticing a problem. But if that c

The contact owns a 2018 Jaguar E-Pace. The contact stated that upon routine tire service, there was an abnormal fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle through the air vents. The contact was informed by the mechanic at a local Firestone that the fuel line was leaking while the vehicle was running. No warning light was illuminated. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

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.
