What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My car didn't stop when I was parking. I went over the sidewalk and I hit the tree on the driver side passenger door. The tree and sidewalk slowed me down enough where I missed the head on collision with the building in front of me. I took pictures and reported it to my insurance.
Airbags did not deploy upon collision with another vehicle. The 2017 f-pace jaguar was inspected by both a collision specialist and an insurance agent and it was deemed a total loss. The police crash report indicates that the airbags did not deploy.
I have experienced issues of unintended acceleration, randomly ,over the years of my ownership. The latest incident was the most hazardous, causing damage to my vehicle, and lack of confidence for my safety.
The contact stated that while driving forward into a parking space and depressing the brake pedal to stop, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration causing the vehicle to drive forward and crash into the rear of a second parked vehicle.
My air bags never deployed. The other drivers did yet mine did not, no warnings from drive package or adaptive dynamics showed. Car is totaled, not one airbag deployed.
In october 2018 I had recently purchased a used 2018 jaguar f-pace. I was backing into the garage and noticed a bag laying in my path. I put the car in park (I thought), left the driver door open, got out of the car and walked into the garage to pick up the bag.
