A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Red marks a system with a recall campaign against it. One complaint can name several systems, so these add up to more than 8.

When the complaints arrived

By the year NHTSA received them, which is not the year the failures happened. They peaked in 2026 at 5.

8 6 4 2

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2021 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

In owners’ own words

Quoted from the complaint file

Quoted from NHTSA's complaint file. These are unverified accounts by the people who filed them, not findings of fault.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Complaint Description: My 2021 Jaguar F-PACE (VIN: [XXX]) experienced a severe, life-threatening safety event when it suffered a complete, sudden loss of drive power and electrical systems while actively traveling on a public roadway. This total blackout was caused directly by a defective DC-DC converter, which is the subject of active federal safety recall Campaign Number 26V248 (JLR Recall E008). The faulty converter failed to maintain the 12-volt system, draining the vehicle's electrical system and destroying the batteries and alternator. When initially towed to the authorized dealer (Autobahn Jaguar), they stated there was "no fix" available for the recall at that time and misdiagnosed

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My car showed charge battery and then it stalled on a busy highway. Had to charge battery and then the dash flashed D for drive and would not go into gear. Now I have no car because it seems to be the recall and there is no resolution at this time.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Subject: Formal Demand for Investigation – Fuel Tank Capacity Discrepancy Vehicle: 2021 Jaguar F-PACE VIN: SADCJ2EX9MA669268 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request an immediate investigation into a significant discrepancy affecting my 2021 Jaguar F-PACE regarding its fuel tank capacity and driving range, which appear to fall substantially below the specifications published by Jaguar Land Rover. I purchased this pre-owned vehicle on August 30, 2024, through a salesperson named Misko Sekulic. At no time during the transaction was I informed that this vehicle was equipped with a reduced fuel tank capacity of approximately 14–15 gallons, nor that its maximum driving range

The contact stated that according to the Owner's Manual, the fuel tank capacity was 21.7 gallons; however, the vehicle only allowed 14 gallons of fuel for a full tank. The contact stated that the mileage was also tracked per the fuel tank, and the fuel tank gallon did not match the mileage driven. The dealer was notified of the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified by mail and email, but there was no response. The failure mileage was 13,540.

NHTSA complaint 11724734. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STEERING
I was returning from work when I briefly fell asleep, causing my vehicle to drift to the curb and resulting in damage to the right-hand side wheels. This incident was caused by a failure of the Lane Departure Warning and Lane Assist systems, which were not functioning at the time. Had these safety features been operational, a potential accident could have been prevented. I have reported this issue to Jaguar Corporate, but it has been approximately one month, and I have not received a satisfactory response. I am concerned that safety concerns regarding this vehicle are not being adequately addressed. There were no warning lights displayed prior to the incident. I have scheduled a service

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
