Jaguar I-PACE Problems — All Years, Common Issues & Reliability

See attached document for complaint.

We told a driver with Waymo months ago when he was mapping the pickup route for the Waymos NOT to have them come in our very busy driveway. He did not do as we requested and from that point on they have been coming into our driveway which is private property. If you could please advise them not to enter our driveway that would be great. I have witnessed them beep their horns repeatedly when there's traffic in the driveway which disturbs our guests and they've also backed out of the entrance of our driveway on several occasions which is very dangerous. They used to pickup on the street which was working out just fine before they started coming into our private property and we would like them to go back to picking them up there please! Thank you!

It almost drove into a semi truck with trailer making a turn. It then stopped despite multiple cars behind it and obviously having a green light. It was also near an intersection and if things were busy this might have caused an accident. It was the smart and calm defensive driving of multiple people and the truck driver that prevented an accident. It shouldn’t have to require that and my city streets shouldn’t be used as an experiment using vehicles that could be deadly. NHTSA should not wait for a great tragedy and loss of life to take action on these vehicles with nobody inside them. I have the video of it stopping for no reason but only after the incident began.

How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? On multiple occasions, the vehicle crossed solid white lines during active traffic, made illegal turning maneuvers at intersections without yielding properly, and consistently camped in the passing lane at speeds below the flow of traffic. This forced other vehicles to pass on the right and created unpredictable merge scenarios that increased collision risk for surrounding drivers. Did emergency crews respond to the incident? No emergency crews responded to these specific violations, though they represent ongoing safety concerns during routine operation. Were there any warning lamps, messages, sounds, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning indicators were present. The vehicle operated normally from a system status perspective while committing the traffic violations. The illegal maneuvers occurred without any passenger notification or system alert. Was there a collision or impact with another vehicle, cyclist, pedestrian or stationary object? No collision occurred, but the illegal maneuvers created near-miss scenarios with other vehicles forced to react to unpredictable behavior. Was there a traffic violation? Yes. Multiple traffic violations including crossing solid white lines, illegal intersection maneuvers, and improper lane usage (camping in the passing lane).

I rode a Waymo for about 5 miles in Burlingame, CA today. On [XXX] near the intersection of [XXX] , at approximately [XXX] on [XXX], I witnessed a safety incident. The car was driving west on [XXX] . The road is one lane in each direction. The right-hand lane was closed for road work. As my car approached the lane closure, a road worker waved at my car to indicate it to stop. This was because only one lane was open to traffic and was being used for alternating two-way traffic. The car did not stop or even slow down much and shifted to the left (oncoming) lane and continued driving. Thankfully there were no cars coming in the opposite direction but this was a very unsafe maneuver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a failure was noticed with a 2023 Jaguar I-Pace operated under the Waymo ride-share program. The vehicle would intermittently stop in the middle of traffic while completing rideshare trips. The contact expressed a concern that the ongoing failure posed a safety hazard. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.

Waymo ran a red light at [XXX] on [XXX] in Santa Monica, CA. It was traveling probably 20-25 mph (less than the speed limit) and could have easily stopped after the light turned yellow at [XXX] . Instead it continued through the intersection while the light turned red. I was a pedestrian waiting to cross and was delayed by the Waymo. I could have been hit if I entered with the walk signal. Please see video here: [XXX] . I reported this to Waymo. They refused to acknowledge the mistake or explain what specific actions they were taking in response. While this situation was not exceptionally dangerous, that was partly because I took caution. A human driver may slightly misjudge this sort of situation, but I cannot understand why an autonomous vehicle would do it. It was not a challenging driving situation for a computer to solve if it is generally trying to operate within the rules. I am concerned that Waymo is cheating a bit on red lights on purpose to save time. I strongly support autonomous vehicles for safety, but they only help if companies take the rules seriously.

The contact called about failures with 2024 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. The contact stated that on four separate occasion had experienced failures with Waymo powered Jaguar vehicles. The contact stated that while exiting a one-way circle, a Waymo vehicle started driving towards her vehicle in the wrong direction. The Waymo vehicle eventually stopped right before crashing into the bumper of the contact's vehicle. The contact then stated that the Waymo reversed independently and parked in the corner of the circle. The contact stated that in another incident, a Waymo vehicle failed to stop at a 4-way intersection and drove through stop sign. In addition, the contact stated that while driving in her lane at a slow speed, a Waymo vehicle entered the contact's lane and cut the contact off. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at a moderate rate of speed, another Waymo vehicle stopped far beyond the stop sign line and was in the contact's lane. The contact was forced to drive around the Waymo vehicle to avoid crashing into the vehicle. The contact expressed grave concerns about these vehicles and believed that these vehicles were a danger to public safety.

The contact owns a 2022 Jaguar I-Pace. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer because the vehicle failed to charge as needed. The contact then received a recall notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V369000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the recall was completed; however, the contact stated that while charging the vehicle, the garage and the vehicle overheated. The contact stated that the vehicle was extremely hot near the high-voltage battery area. The contact was concerned that the issue could cause a fire. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

While driving a 2022 Jaguar I-Pace for 60 miles, the car came to a stop sign near its destination. At this point, the car would stutter and shake when attempting to accelerate, simultaneously the car would roll back since there was a slight decline in the road. Brakes were full functional throughout this time. However, no warnings were shown during the occurrence and by the time the driver was able to apply the brakes, the car had already rolled back approximately 2 feet. After this time, the car accelerated but the issue repeated itself at the next stop sign and again at the destination. While approaching a drive way at the destination with a 10-15% grade, the vehicle completely cut power halfway up the drive way. At this time the car rolled back into the street, approximately 6 feet, before the driver could react and apply brakes. Had there been someone standing or walking on the side walk at the end of the driveway, it would have resulted in severe injuries or even death. At the time, no vehicles were on the road, however if there were, the vehicle would have rolled into traffic before the driver is able to react. Power was regained approximately 10 seconds after rolling backwards. The vehicle was then parked curbside for approximately 4 hours. Upon starting and driving the vehicle again, the same issues with stuttering/shaking when accelerating from a standstill and sudden loss of power with any incline continued. The next day, the vehicle had to be towed to a Jaguar Land Rover dealer for investigation. No previous repair work or modifications have been done to the vehicle. All care and maintenance had been done according to the manual. Battery was also charged to 80% as recommended by the manual for optimal battery life. At the time the issues had started, the vehicle showed 48% battery life remaining. No previous issues or problems had occurred with the vehicle, no recalls or TSB in place as of 9/12/22 for the 2022 model year.

This is an EV. Four times car stopped abruptly in the middle of the freeway. Everything was brought to the notice of dealership but still kept happening. This car has become a death trap for me and my family. I need immediate resolution for this case before something tragic happens.
