On three separate occasions, two with my wife, and once with me, the car suddenly accelerated as if the accelerator was depressed to the floor even though our feet were no on the accelerator. with my wife driving, she was pulling into parking spaces going 5mph or slower. i was coasting downhill at 40mpg when the car accelerated and the brakes did not respond. we reported each incident to the dealer who said they relayed the information to jaguar technical support. in all cases jaguar said they could not find anything wrong with the car and want us to continue to drive it. the last time they asked the dealership to drive the car for 100 miles. we are now afraid to drive the car for fear we will hit and injure some innocent party or harm our selves.
My 4-month-old car's brakes failed to operate while traveling at 60mph in the fast lane of the freeway. fortunately i was able to turn on hazard lights and coast across the freeway to the hard shoulder where the car rolled to a stop. the problems began earlier in the day when the car reported "reduced brake pedal feel, ok to drive with caution. later in the day a message reported "aspc not available." at this point i called the dealership who advised us to bring it in the next day. some time after this alert we received a series of rapid messages - "traction control offline" "emergency braking assist offline - ok to drive with caution" and several others which i don't recall. the final warning was "gear box fault" - at this point i thought it wise to pull over, but when i tried to use the brakes there was no response at all. just a grinding, crunching feeling under the brake pedal. i turned on hazard lights and coasted to the right lane through fast-moving traffic, and then onto the hard shoulder. i believe the regenerative braking system was working and this managed to slow the vehicle to a stop. on the hard shoulder i turned the car off and then on again, but the brake pedal still had a grinding, crunching feeling and would not operate. the park/drive/neutral buttons just flashed if you pressed them. i was in the car with two children under 6 and my wife. we were very concerned as there was very little space at the side of the road and no way to get off the freeway. we pressed the car's sos button and the woman advised we call 911 to be rescued by the police. jaguar roadside assistance sent a tow truck to tow the vehicle to jaguar monterey for repair. a few days later we were told the car's "power distribution box" had failed. the car had no outstanding recalls. when purchased it had the "aspc not available" error and had to go back to dealer for repair.
Since i purchased jaguar i-pace i been having batter fault issues which now standard me with the vehicle. i receive battery fault errors and the car stops working. the car stays on but when you put the car in drive or reverse and hit the gas pedal nothing happens. its very dangerous as the car should not just stop from driving when you hit the gas. when this happens the car is working in terms of air condition, steering wheel etc.... also there is constant errors when it comes to blind spot alert. the vehicle tells you they are disabled, if you restart the vehicle it resents but comes back. also the dashboard sometimes just goes blank and will come back a few minutes later. its scary as you suddenly dont know how fast your going or what is going on till the screen comes back few seconds later. the vehicle has been at the dealer few times but still having the same issue. its currently at the dealer again to be fixed. this vehicle is 100% electric and i'm attaching some pictures of the errors.
