Overview

2019 Jaguar E-PACE

The 2019 Jaguar E-PACE offers compact luxury with standard all-wheel drive. While it presents a stylish alternative in its segment, potential buyers should be aware of reported issues. The vehicle has accumulated 9 complaints, with recurring themes in the engine and electrical systems. Notably, a critical failure mode involves sudden power loss accompanied by a gearbox fault warning, a serious concern for safety and drivability. Another electrical issue can cause the vehicle to stall when coming to a stop. Despite no recalls, these complaint patterns warrant careful consideration.

Critical Failure Risk

The engine cooling fan operates at maximum RPM ('roar') regardless of temperature or load, persisting until shutdown. This points to a potential issue with the fan control module or temperature sensors.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$4,000 repair.
