This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-Type, 2020-2021 F-Pace, and 2021 XF vehicles. The seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.

The contact owns a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side seat belt failed to retract as intended. The contact's brother-in-law was seated in the rear seat and the seat belt failed to retract afterwards. The vehicle was taken to a non-Jaguar dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the seat belt automatic locking retractors had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V667000 (SEAT BELTS). The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.
The contact owns a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in the park gear, the vehicle unintentionally accelerated at approximately 10 MPH and the entire front of the vehicle crashed into several trees where it ultimately came to a stop. There was minor cosmetic damage. No warning light was illuminated. The air bags were deployed. A police report was filed. The contact stated that there were burns on her wrist and her forehead from the impact of the air bag; there was also a knot on the contact's forehead from impact. No medical attention was sought. No one was injured that was not in the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the diagnosis was pending. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
Right auxiliary radiator leaks due to the placement and manufacturing of materials used. This can cause car to overheat without warning till it's too late. The coolant odometer just goes high without gradual warning. I looked up possible coolant leaks and dozens of people had the exact same issue. I'm trying to figure out why they're hasn't been a recall on this exact issue when this is jaguars biggest issue. Seems like a ticking time bomb for customers and money grab from Jaguar.
The rear seat belts do not retract back nor do they lock in place. You either have to pull and play with them to get them to work properly or they will not work at all!
Battery is drained every time I get an emissions inspection. Next day I have to get it charged and take it the dealer for a "software hard-rest." Supposed to fix problem but every year I have the same issue. Never a SW fix available.
1. ENTIRE engine. And yes (it’s been sitting since May 2024 at Scottsdale AZ JLR) 2. The day after I filled coolant for a 'low coolant' check engine light, my car smoked going uphill and nearly caught fire. I pulled over just in time, then had to walk 2 miles at night, in 30°F weather, without cell service, in the desert. This is a known issue affecting thousands of similar cars, with a Facebook group of nearly 19,000 members reporting the same risks—cars smoking or blowing up without warning, even when serviced per JLR’s recommendations. JLR is refusing to honor warranties, and some incidents have resulted in complete vehicle fires. My attorney advised me to report this and share the FB group for reference: [XXX] 3. Both have confirmed the engine is done and needs an entire replacement. 4. By JLR of Scottsdale yes. Also an independent mechanic in Sedona. Also by my attorney’s expert mechanic who had the oil sent to a lab and when he read the report stated, “the primary cause of engine failure most likely is blown head gasket. That caused coolant to get mixed into the oil, thereby destroying the engine.” 5. NO…which is what is MOST concerning. Just ‘low coolant’ as I mentioned above, which I added. No other check engine light has EVER ignited on the vehicle, which is concerning to me, indicating that no warning lights ever came on which would have indicated to me something needed servicing before the entire engine just blew up.

You could not read anything on my dash. It was all rainbow colors. I couldn’t tell how much gas I had or if my car was running hot. Basically everything on the dash that tells you how your car is running. We have the carefirst extended warranty and they would not cover it. It cost me out of pocket 2000 dollars to fix. I do have a picture but unfortunately I couldn’t send it
I drove through about 12 inch water during a flash flood rain down pour. After driving about 200 feet, my steering failed. The instrument panel displayed, power steering assistance reduced. I could not turn the the steering wheel to get in the parking lot. I Google to see what the problem was and there are a lot of people complaining with the same problem. I had towed to the shop and the extended warranty I purchased said it was preexisting problem. I had just purchased the vehicle approximately 3 months prior and had never had this problem. It only messed up after running the water and that is what other owners stated. My comprehensive insurance would not cover neither. Jaquar want to charge me $6700.00 for repair, which I believe should be cover under my warranty, insurance or Jaquar itself. I contact Jaquar headquarters but having received a response.Thank you

1. When the start/stop fuel conservation system is engaged the vehicle intermittently powers off. I then have to push the start button to restart the vehicle 2. When the vehicle is engaged in sports and dynamic mode it intermittently stalls or locks up in 2nd gear
Park assist was engaged. The prompt was to pull forward more. Then the park assist prompted to take hands off the steering wheel. The park assist maneuvered backward into parallel parking. Once it made the turn backing in, it sped up backward with no warnings on the camera or auditory alarms, and hit the vehicle parked behind our vehicle. My vehicle is damaged. The other vehicle is not. This is a serious problem. Not only did my vehicle sustain damage, but a person could have been there and it could have caused damage to the other vehicle. This park assist had the driver take the hands off the wheel, gave zero warnings, no visual or auditory, increased rear speed, and hit the vehicle. I want the event data recorder to be reviewed and for my car's fault to be remedied and my vehicle to be repaired.
I WAS REACHING FOR GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF MY F PACE AND BURNED THE FRONT OF MY LEG ABOVE MY KNEE ON THE TAILPIPE.
