Vehicle Information 2020 Jaguar E-PACE VIN: [XXX] Approx. mileage: 84,000 Component Affected: Powertrain / Cooling System / Engine Complaint Description: My 2020 Jaguar E-PACE began showing coolant-related warnings and mechanical issues around 60,000 miles. Despite professional servicing, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure at 84,000 miles. The vehicle is now completely inoperable and parked dead in my garage. Jaguar Land Rover provided contradictory instructions: they advised I visit a JLR retailer, but later questioned me for adding oil at a certified shop. Most concerning is that Ms. Jeane Meyer, Executive Liaison at JLR, closed the case without even offering an inspection or diagnostic. She told me I was “on my own” with the issue, showing complete disregard for customer safety or support. This is a major mechanical failure in a vehicle under 5 years old, and I believe it indicates a manufacturer defect. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate.

I own a 2020 Jaguar E-PACE (VIN: [XXXX]). At around 84,000 miles, the vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure that requires over $20,000 in repairs. This failure occurred despite multiple prior visits to the dealership for coolant-related warnings and repairs. The vehicle is less than 5 years old. I believe this may be a manufacturing defect affecting the powertrain or cooling system. The failure poses serious safety concerns, especially considering the sudden loss of power on the road. I request an investigation into this issue. •VIN: [XXX] •Mileage: ~84,000 •Dealer/City: Jaguar North Miami – 2300 NE 151st St, North Miami, FL 33181 Key history (summary): •Coolant warnings logged five times: [XXX] [XXX] (linked to water-pump leak/repair); [XXX]; [XXX]; [XXX]. •Documented repair: Water-pump replacement on 06/17/2022. *Please escalate this matter*: I cannot justify absorbing a $20,000 repair for what is clearly a manufacturer defect on a five-year-old Jaguar, and I don’t want this issue to end my relationship with the brand. A prompt intervention would go a long way in restoring my trust. Thank you for your time and leadership. I’m available anytime at the number below.

The engine coolant light is on consistently. I had to start taking pictures. I was told by a service advisor that a recall was just done on the E-Pace. Yet I have never received any documentation at all. This issue has been going on since 2020. The car cabin has filled with fumes, several times while driving. I had to start taking pictures., because AutoNation Jagur/Land Rover Southbay declined to give me documentation for all of the times I came in for a TOPOFF. I could not download all of the repair orders, and manufacturer correspondence. Thank you for looking into this matter.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2020 Jaguar E-pace verdict →
