Jaguar I Pace: Problems in 4 years

[@piperbob2]

My brother's i-Pace had been parked and locked, but somehow had driven itself at speed into a brick wall and the car had to be written off. Luckily there was no-one in the car and no-one was injured.

[@evilelectrician8903]

@@piperbob2 Interesting. I wonder what caused this accident.

[@phu185]

Thanks for the update. Thinking about buying a used one, and you review helps.

[@Leskylor]

Great video! I have my I- Pace for 4 months and did 10k kms already and love every second of it. No issues so far 🤞

[@mikemc4759]

Mine 4 years old. 50tkm here in Germany. Two times problem with the small 12V "motor bike battery" which is responsible for the brake support. At the 2nd time, the BMS of the small battery has been exchanged. You can analyse the driving battery with Wattcat. 8% loss, this is OK. Remote battery has been also exchanged by me. Its very easy. Driving since 2000 a lot of Jags. Still own a XF 3.0 AWD and a S-Type 3.0. Waiting for the new electric Jags in 2025.

[@evilelectrician8903]

The next electric Jag will come in 2024 as far as i know and 2 other models will come in 2025. I hope they still be cars instead of computers with wheels.

[@mikemc4759]

​@@evilelectrician8903 A friend of mine got an Audi Q4 electric recently. He was very surprised about the screen of the navigation system. His new car was not showing the "estimated SOC on destination" - He said, "your car is 4 years old, mine is brand new." Finally he found this information also, but very very deep in the nav menues. He can not seen it while driving. He was really wondering how good is the user interface of the I-Pace. I think Jag will find a good solution. What I miss is the information how many charging stalls are currently free at the next charing point.

[@marcbungener1877]

thank you for the feed-back, I’m a prospective buyer for a 2nd hand i-Pace in Switzerland. I’m also on a Facebook owner group and since often people write about the problems they have it probably gives a biased view of the reliability of the car - hearing about your experience is reassuring

[@MariosTakoushis]

Can you kindly share the name of the FB group?

[@marcbungener1877]

@@MariosTakoushis it’s just called Jaguar I-Pace Discussion Group. That being I recently posted and among the replies there were a number of people which also experienced a nice reliability. I’m actually about to buy a First Edition from January 2019 with 58’000 km for 36% of the price when new. I first went to test the sound system on Monday and Saturday I borrow it for 1h30 to show it to the family and the view is to close the transaction the following week :=)

Great to hear! Beautiful and surprisingly practical EV!

[@burkhardravagni6764]

I am an I Pace owner since July 2019 too (80.000 km). Happy about my decision, still one of the most beautiful cars available. One blemish: The inner recycled "inlays" of the front wheel arches have lost their shape and exact mounting due to frozen slush in German Winter 2021. Unfortunately I have yet not found a cheap way ro repair them (replacement from scrap yard?), so the 'inlays" are hanging out of the wheel arch a little. Doesn"t look so nice in case you know about it.... I am interested in the key video too. I think my low battery is one of the reasons why the boot keeps not closing properly and sends a warning tone instead.

[@evilelectrician8903]

Ich habe die elektrische Heckklappe bei meinem I Pace gar nicht erst bestellt weil ich kein extra Geld ausgeben wollte nur für eine zusätzliche Fehlerquelle. Sowas kann auch an einem verschmutzten Kontakt liegen aber ein Video über den Batterie wechsel vom Schlüssel folgt in Kürze. Die Radlauf Abdeckungen zu finden dürfte sich schwierig gestalten da der I Pace nicht oft verkauft und noch seltener geschrottet wurde.

[@Mr.Art777]

I have issues with two 12v batteries and key too. there were also problems with the wiring in the car, but it was not expensive to fix it at the not official service. It was an unpleasant problem with the heater, which also needs to be replaced. as far as I know, the wiring and interior heater are now being repaired under warranty as defective. Owned Jaguar two years

[@GunGraveC5]

What Model year and km? Car is in warranty?

[@Mr.Art777]

@@GunGraveC5 2018, ~50.000km , no warranty

[@Papii762]

I had the same problem with the leaky window. Needed a new window replacing as the sealant had deteriorated. Thankfully it was under warranty. Currently waiting on it after a month due to traction battery fault, so replaced the cell, then the bracket broke that holds the battery cell in so had to wait for that to be replaced too. 😅

[@evilelectrician8903]

[@a88888888a]

I'm thinking more window sealants will fail with time.

[@Thereishope664]

I hope your heater doesn't stop working. A common problem in the I-Pace. Just had mine replaced at a cost of £1,900. Also would not charge and that was fixed to. 2019 SE.

[@a88888888a]

Any leaks in the ac lines?

[@ferguscahillane1993]

Was it covered by warranty ? Any cheaper way of fixing that issue ? 😂 I’m worried as want to buy a 2019 SE. Very low mileage though

[@otofoto]

@@ferguscahillane1993 The HV heater failures seemed to occur mostly in the 21-22 model years. This is not a repair for a shade tree mechanic. It requires removal of the HV traction battery to gain access. That requires powering down the car completely, draining coolant, etc. Assembling requires evacuating the air out of the battery, heater and hoses and then refilling without getting air into it, too. The heater is made by Webasto in Germany and component was fitted to a range of EVs. It has since been modified to eliminate premature failure.

[@kfkwAL7]

The windscreen issue is common on a lot of JLR products. I had it on the Evoque, on the I-Pace it seems better.

[@evilelectrician8903]

Interesting. Is the Evoque build by Steyr Magna too?

The key battery normally only lasts 3 years

[@jorgepiedra5001]

Its a great car! Mine has three and a half years, and no problems. The 12 volts battery died and the agency changed for free.

[@TheViewFromUpHere]

I have changed the coin battery in my I-Pace key fob about every 1.5 years. Easy DIY job.

Hi there, whats the motorway range of this car?

[@evilelectrician8903]

I would say between 300 and 350 km but it depends on the speed and the weather conditions. We drove about 240 km by 4 degrees Celsius and rain with a speed of 110 km/h and had 106 km of range left. The aircondition was on of course.

[@Anton-o3n1m]

Von den Rückrufen u.a. h441 und h484 und massiven Problemen wird nichts erzählt. Von dem oft schlimmen Service den Jag bietet auch nicht. Gut Rückruf ist recht aktuell, vielleicht ergänzen ?! Wie ist den aktuell der Stand ?

[@evilelectrician8903]

Der mangelnde Service ist wohl eher ein Problem der einzelnen Vertragswerkstätten. Bei Moll in Düsseldorf kann ich mich nicht beklagen. Nur die Termine sind frühestens in 6 Wochen zu bekommen. Rückrufe gehen generell über's KBA. Mein I Pace läuft absolut Problemlos und ich würde ihn auch nicht abgeben wollen.

[@accountname1651]

Weisst du warum der Jaguar so viel verbraucht? Ich würde mich freuen, wenn du das Manual oder eine Anleitung für das Batterie Wechseln für den Schlüssel hättest.

[@evilelectrician8903]

Der I Pace ist auf performance ausgelegt, deshalb der relativ hohe Verbrauch. Das ist zum einen dem Allrad Antrieb und zum anderen dem Getriebe Geschuldet. Es hort ja keiner auf mich und baut E Autos mit einem zweiten Gang als Overdrive für die Autobahn. Mein I Pace S hat nur die standart Bereifung und verbraucht ca. 1kw/h weniger als der First Edition mit der breiteren bereifung. Ich habe letzten Sonntag ein Video hochgeladen über den Wechsel der Batterie des Schlüssels.

[@7peso]

Thanks bro!

[@nosoupforyou425]

3 yrs into my time in a MY20. No real issues other than the dramatic drop in value 😮 - will definitely leave it in next 9 months as Jaguar hates these. And Jaguar does seem to be a total group of idiots as a manufacturer - whishe Magna was given free reign since they are the only ones with an ounce of care for these great rides

[@shajeennada342]

Can I buy a used jaguar ipace at 60,000km

[@evilelectrician8903]

Usualy yes. If you can live with the not so fast charging performance. But never buy a used car without a testride. Check the range and energy consumtion and take the car out of it's comfort zone. Drive on some bumpy roads to check if there are some rattling noises and check the service book. If everything is ok you can buy it. Why not, it will become a classic car.

[@XeroBritt]

Lolololol 😂😂😂😂😂 all jGuars leak at the A pillar! I have had jags since 1969 until now. They all leak at the A pillars - not convertibles either!

Since the end of the XJL and XKR jaguar have gone downhill, even the interior is becoming rubbish, The internal combustion engine will never be replaced not by electric motors anyway. TATA have turned agood motor into a rubbish motor, TATA is not the future.
