“Several battery modules have been replaced in less than two years of ownership. Spoke w JLR , they will contact me soon. Itâs been almost 10 months and I have not heard back. My vehicle range has been incredibly reduced, thereby restricting driving range. Unable to charge for fear of property damage. Please assist with expediting this matter. Thanks.”

“This vehicle is a lemon. The electrical system has major fault. The vehicle stops randomly even when it is in motion, which is a major hazard in itself. Plus, the car battery is a fire risk. This vehicle is a weapon with potential to kill buyer, family, and friends, and cause property damage to anything nearby. It would possibly lead to a California-wide wide fire as well.”
Filed Mar 6, 2025
“There is a recall regarding fire danger with the battery. No solution to fire issue. We are left with a dangerous car still subject to fire potential, as well as significantly degraded range due to a software update forced on the car by the recall.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 66 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
