The contact owns a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the low coolant warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and parked the vehicle. The message "Engine Overheating" was displayed, forcing the contact to turn off the vehicle. The contact was picked up to purchase coolant. The contact returned and added coolant to the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, where the engine was taken apart under extended warranty coverage. The dealer diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 38,249.

I brought my car used with warranty and everything was fine even though I barely drove the car because I had another car that I used to commute so I really didn’t drive the car often. Within a week I noticed a loud sound but I didn’t think anything of it because it was a diesel engine. Within a year I was on the freeway and my car just stopped in mid traffic which a semi diesel truck almost hit me due to engine failure. My car just stopped and my check engine light did not come on until this day. My car is still not running because I took to a repair shop and they said that my timing chain had alot of wear it it would cost 4000 to 5000 to fix. I notice that this is a common problem for the jaguar f pace.

The front drivers side headlamp malfunctioned after condensation entered the lamp via rain and then humidity. The issue first started April 12, 2026. I was leaving to go on a 260 miles drive when I pulled out of the drive way and I started getting a flickering "Dipped Beam Fault". It started flickering on and off as I was picking up speed to merge onto the interstate. I drove all those miles with my left thumb on the Menu OK button to clear it. Then it would come back on again as I was going through two major cities. It was very distracting and I kept glancing down every time it would light up. It did this for 5 hours. Also, my signal light was malfunctioning but I always tried to use it even so because of the heavy traffic. I called Jaguar when I got home and the women on the line said she had never heard of anything like this before and to take it to the dealership. So I took it to Jaguar and they did a complete inspection and told me the entire light component would have to be replaced because the seal is not good-even though the car has less then 100,000 miles on it, no reported accidents, and I was not informed by the dealer it has this problem when I purchased a few months ago.

Incident 12/01/2022 · Filed 01/10/2026

Recurrent coolant leak. Known issue with Jaguar. Coolant system is known to have many weak spots due to plastic tubing and weak coupling joints. Had a repair costing $1500 dollars in 2022 just out of warranty. Now experiencing yet another coolant leak. Other owners have also had multiple leaks. I think Jaguar should be held accountable for a manufacturer defect.

60,000 miles, the head gasket blew in traffic. Jaguar dealer quotes $35,000 to replace engine. This is not acceptable for a car of this price. I have been victimized by defective parts in our 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. These parts and repairs and associated costs should have been covered under warranty and recall. These catastrophic failures/repairs were due to known defective parts (clam shell "y" pipe, and outlet pipes). JLR Service Departments have been aware of these defects as published in their annual Service Department "Technical Bulletin" (2018). JLR has justified exhorbant repair costs, blaming the car owner rather than taking responsibility for manufacture defect. Parts were re-designed specifically because of these known defects. With no warning of over-heating, my F-Pace reached "Critical Failure", requiring Tow service. I specifically asked the JLG Service manager what caused this at 60,000 miles and the above was his explanation. I said this is a factory defect. His response was "It is absolutely a factory defect, but good luck getting Jaguar to admit to it." He then gave me Jaguar USA's number to report the issue and I am awaiting their response. This is a trend in this model and there is a class action being formed in response.

My 2017 Jaguar F-Pace S (3.0L supercharged V6) experienced a sudden water-pump failure that led to overheating, loss of oil pressure, timing-chain slack, and complete engine failure. The failure began with the water pump, which caused coolant loss and intermittent overheating that was not accurately reflected on the dashboard temperature gauge. As the water pump deteriorated, the hydraulic timing-chain tensioners lost pressure, allowing the chain to slacken and eventually jump. This caused catastrophic internal engine damage, including piston-valve contact and metal contamination, requiring a full engine replacement. This sequence — water pump failure → overheating → timing-chain tensioner collapse → engine destruction — is known to occur on Jaguar’s 3.0L supercharged V6 engines. Multiple owners have reported similar symptoms (water pump failures, chain rattle, chain slack, engine ticking, and full failure). Jaguar’s own Technical Topics documents acknowledge timing-chain slack due to tensioner issues on these engines. This is a safety defect because the engine can shut down suddenly while driving, which puts the driver and others at risk. My engine failed unexpectedly, without sufficient warning on the instrument cluster, creating a dangerous situation. I request that NHTSA investigate this defect pattern to determine whether a recall or manufacturer action is necessary to prevent further engine failures and safety risks.

Error Message: While driving at speeds of 60-65 miles per hour, a coolant leak occurs, resulting in a loss of engine power and reduced control over the vehicle, endangering myself and surrounding commuters. The local dealership inspected the car, but Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC refused to authorize the necessary repairs, despite being provided with their Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) Reference: JTB00602 (or JTB00602v2 for later revisions). This is a known issue with the vehicle, which the company is aware of due to several lawsuits. I have already incurred costs for some repairs to make the car safe to operate, but the dealer has informed me that additional work is required.

Incident 03/21/2025 · Filed 04/15/2025

our F-Pace had 120,000 miles. Worked great, very reliable, but then out of nowhere while driving the car the low coolant light came on and with in a minute the engine shut down and the car was dead. I had all I could do to get the car off the interstate with traffic behind me going 70mph. I am very lucky that I was not slammed into from behind as the car literally lost all power. I got it to the side of road with steam blowing out the engine. I called 911 and the fire department came and the police. The vehicle was then towed to the Brentwood, TN Jaguar dealer and they confirmed for $250 service fee that the engine was blown up. The Y Pipe cracked and all the coolant blew out and the engine overheated and was destroyed. They said the fix was $23-$25,000 for a new motor. Throw much research on the Jaguar forums online it is a well documented problem on the 2017 F-Paces that the Y pipe cracks leading to a discharge of the coolant leading to engine failure. It is also known that Jaguar fixed this problem on the 2018 forward models. Leaving owners of the 2017 F-Pace to literally be at the risk of engine failure at any moment. There was barely enough time for me to get the car off the road while coasting with a dead engine and limited power steering. This needs to be recall and Jaguar should be compensating those who have incurred loss. We had to sell the car to a wholesaler for $2500 because the car was worth less than the new engine cost would be to fix it.
