Jaguar F Pace Reliability - How Reliable Is the Jaguar F-Pace?

[@ekirasche6284]

I own a 2017 F Pace, 2.0D AWD with 100'000 km and the car had absolutely NO ISSUES 'till now. Not even small glitches or malfunctions. However I'm doing regular maintenance and every 3 months I reset all the "ghost faults" that accumulate over time with my diagnostic tool. The best car I ever had.

[@ilovedrums1000]

yea mine doesnt have cooled seats. i mean its a fucking jag every single trim should have those 2 things by default. mines a sport too v6 380hp for fuck sake

[@MarijanOlic]

I hawe it too. Great car.❤

[@martind511]

I love my F-Pace (MY2018 25T Petrol) and it was the first second-hand car purchase since coming out of my company car scheme. Likewise, it has not left me stranded anywhere although it has suffered from a failed deployable towbar (I never use it) that was replaced under warranty and a stretched timing chain resulting in a new chain being fitted under warranty. Our petrol XE has also been relatively trouble free. I think the message about looking after your car especially regular oil changes is key - ours do no more than 5-6K miles per year but still get regular oil changes etc. Look forward to the changing brake discs/pads video - I can recommend Brembo discs and TRW pads.

[@Mrniceguy2209]

I have this model - did you get the dreaded rattle on startup and take it to a garage who diagnosed the timing chain? What mileage was it at that point? I imagine Jag are regretting using a bicycle chain for a 4 cylinder engine now...

[@martind511]

No noticeable rattle, I had an engine management light come on which initially was diagnosed as faulty vvt solenoids. These were changed and the engine management came back on after a couple weeks which then identified the stretched timing chain. This was at 44k miles. It has been fine since although I traded it in a couple of weeks ago for another (facelift) F-Pace.

[@Mrniceguy2209]

@@martind511 Thank you, they're the scary ones, when there's no rattle! That's eerie, mine had the EML come on a few weeks ago which were diagnosed as faulty VVT solenoids. Personally I hope my EML does come back on so I can have the chain replaced under warranty. JLR should pay for that on a car with 40k miles, clearly the chain isn't fit for purpose.

[@msjeal]

Great video. Ive previously owned a 2.0 diesel f-pace, I had stop start issues in that it would fail to engage. I loved the car but ended up trading it in for an x5 hybrid. Two years later I’m back in another f-pace and loving it, this time a 3.0 S petrol, sounds incredible and usually returns 30 mpg. Ticks all my boxes for a fun family bus. You should do a comparison video between the two models, same car but totally different down to the engine.

Interesting bit about not shutting down after a service. I was told mine was ready to pick up, but when I went to get it they said it wasn't shutting down properly and they needed to do an update. They gave me a loan car for a day while they sorted it. Five years old now, f Pace SVR. Love it!

Awesome review. Certainly put my mind to rest as I’m about to collect my 2020 p250 e pace. You hear all the scare stories about reliability, and it being a money pit, I was beginning to believe it’s true. Hopefully I’m making the right choice. Thanks for sharing.

Have 2018 model 25T petrol purchased August 2017. Just went over 100,000 miles in USA. Emergency key cover on the driver's door handle fell off in a spray car wash after an ice strorm. Coolant got low once, but problem went away. Those are the only problems I've had. I only do the recommended service with oil change once a year. Replaced both batteries at 4 years. This 2024 year I spent thousands of dollars to replace the timing chains because I was scared that they would eventually break, even though there was nothing wrong with them. I'm about due for an alignment and new brake pads after 100,000 miles. Might look into replacing some of the rubber and plastic parts as preventive measures. Should also add more ceramic coating, as that is now 6 years old. Why keep investing in this car? Because it's so nice to drive, is the right size and weight (light) for my needs, and it's a beautiful British Racing Green 💚 color. Too bad that color is no longer offered by Jaguar.

[@tadshackles]

I’ve had my svr fpace for two years. Not a single issue. Just an awd rocket ship.

[@LoudModeOn]

Had one of these on a lease for 3 years and had no issues save for the emergency braking sensor that fell off behind the front grille. Wishing I bought it at the end of the lease because I'm looking for another one now to replace my XE. One of the best looking SUVs on the market and in my experience not unreliable at all.

[@howardkosofsky6382]

I have had three of the F pace Jags. My first was the 35 and had it 6 months bit wanted the S model and found a great deal on a Green one. sold my 35 for what I paid for it. drove the green one for two years and traded for a porsche Cayenne. like the car but someone ran into me and totaled it. I went back to the F pace S. love it. I did have trouble with my Green 2017 when it blew and engine at 53,000 miles. out of warranty but Jaguar covered it and gave me a range rover to drive for a month. defective engine. love the car.

[@chistoprosto5859]

I've had my 2016 2.0D F-Pace since 2017 and now it has around 50,000km. No big issues with it, and never left me stranded. Here are the small stuff though: The driver side window won't go up, if it was lowered using the auto-down first. Shut the car of, lock it and restart to fix. The other one, that's actually to worry about, is the gear selector knob not popping up with the engine started. That was going on intermittently for some time before it kind of went away on it's own, for now. And that's about it.

[@Nab-rc2dv]

Don’t even talk. Only done 50k. Come back here when it does 150k then we can talk.

USB / Apple car play dropping out. If it was when the phone battery was lower it’s due to the usb power not being strong enough to charge and do CarPlay at the same time. You can get a dual usb power cable which uses both sockets to feed one usb and that solved it for me 😎

[@stevenvalladares3934]

You’ve done a great job maintaining this car 👏 Also are those body side mouldings worth getting? Because they look really nice and I’m thinking of buying them for my fpace. Thanks!

[@ironingbored]

I have a 2017 3.0 D S. I love it. However, the rear differential Pinion seal has failed at 63k miles. It will cost £1,730 for the diff, and about £350 labour. It goes in for the work this week. The independent specialist who noticed the issue during a service, told me the failed seal does happen often on XF, mine is the first F Pace he has seen. Unfortunately, I had noticed the rumble from the rear for a while, but despite my extensive experience running 4x4 and knowing what a worn diff sounds like, I for some reason out it down to tyre wear or, I don't, something. 2024 was a busy year full of distractions. Another JLR specialist has done 4 x repairs to F Pace differentials due to the Pinion seal. It is challenging to repair correctly due to a crush washer used during the refit,even with the correct tooling. The F Pace is a wonderful, powerful family car. I am looking forward to having it back on the road.

[@MrGB_UK]

Sorry to hear it but glad that you caught it before it turned into anything worse! They are great cars when they're behaving themselves!

[@ironingbored]

@MrGB_UK yes they are! I plan to keep mine a number of years longer. With a brand new rear differential fitted, I will definitely need to get my moneys worth now!

[@leeumney7675]

The 3.0 suffers from a leaking second radiator and the throttle body has issues. Other than that, I've done around 57k in my 2019 3.0s, I had the XF Sportbrake previous to this and the F-Pace is so much better.

[@ronmccullock1407]

Superb and informative video

[@reachamitsingh]

I am having a very bad experience. Mine is still under warranty. At this point my transfer case is leaking and I was told that this is because of used a different brand tyre which has different threading when one of my tyre got flat and warranty won’t cover it for same reason. Jaguar customer service told me that they only manufacture car and they don’t sell it. So it is dealer s decision to provide warranty or not as they are the sellers of the car.

[@rouman7]

No car is a 100 per cent reliable , I’ve had BMWs. Mercdes and a Porsche cayman s. All were good , but all had problems. Some more than Others ..I am looking at a f jag. ( sports car )..

I personally find the F Pace very practical, but an estate / saloon is probably a better driving experience. So depends on your needs / priorities. I would suggest getting one on loan from the garage to try out over the weekend.

[@jazzip]

Yeah I’m going to pass. I use my Honda fit for work and do 40miles a day. I was considering getting this but I don’t think all these replacements and issues should be expected for a vehicle at this price point. It looks great and its one of the reasons I was drawn to it. The only major issue I have with my 10yr old car is having to replace the battery every 2yrs. I’m going to check out the Changan Uni-T.

[@Craigo5000]

Mine went in a week after buying a used one from JLR due to alignment issues. Wife got it home and the day after it stalled several times on the way to work. It went back to JLR and they couldnt find an issue and did nothing. Its been fine ever since - 4 years later.😂

[@Craigo5000]

​@@ToOpen6seven2L sport 2016. They definitely caused the issue. I think they detached the battery and the ECU went into some sort of mode where it was learning what sensors were there. It was fine after a few more days and has been fine since. 👍🏼

I’ve got a 21 reg from new and the warranty claims are pages long and it’s spent 12 months in the retailer garage on numerous occasions. Jaguar just kicked the can up the road and Rockar as a retailer told me to go elsewhere to get it fixed. Group one Southend sorted it and they get full marks for the services provided but after all this time the car is disappointing.
