There are 1 owner-reported powertrain & transmission complaints for the 2023 Jaguar F-PACEin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The center console gear shift has a lever to disengage the current gear to shift into another gear. However, if the lever isn’t fully pressed, the gear shift will still move, but the car remains in the original gear. So a driver may believe the shifted from reverse to drive (or vice versa) when it hasn’t. In theory, this lever should work like a manual transmission. One cannot shift gears in a manual without engaging the clutch fully. The automatic transmission/gear shift lever should work the same. In other words, the gear shift should not move/disengage unless the lever is fully pressed. Note: the vehicle (a former loaner vehicle) was recently purchased.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
