this is a nightmare let me tell you. I have a 2020 F-Pace S bought it certified used with 59,000 miles on it. It has been in the shop twice now for months at a time (one month the first time and still in the shop this time now going 3 months. I have the same problem that you are having-Ive seen many posts regarding these coolant leaks. I want out dealer sold me a faulty vehicle. Ive owned it for less than a year, drove it under 10,000 miles and have replaced the water pump after having coolant leak. then right back to the shop after it started smoking and misfiring. thank god i bought the 3rd party extended warranty. But as of now jag dealership is stating now

 

sorry last message cut off-anyways Jaguar sent me an estimate after taking 2 weeks to diagnose of $14,728 to fix this. I want out of this purchase contract. Im going to see what warranty company says but I dont want to keep dealing with this stuff over and over again. This was my dream car. I financed this vehicle and now Im going to start the process of finding a lawer but I have reservations because they will just suck up any compensation I get as payment-manufacturers and dealerships need and must due better they need to be held accountable and stop their fraudulent practices. Consumers deserve transparency and fair business practices and I for one am tired of the law protecting fraudulent companies and corporations. i know there are fair and transparent places of businesses out there and I would much rather give them the business and recognition they deserve

 

It's a 5+ year old 59K mile used car?
Owning a used Jaguar and not doing the repairs yourself will be expensive as you posted. I can't see how there is any fraud with a used car breaking down long after it's out of warranty? All those problems are well documented on this forum?

When I purchase a car I ALWAYS spend some time on the forums seeing what goes wrong and how expensive it is to fix. Once I know the common problems I no longer get surprised when they happen. Buying used cars is always a gamble as you have found out.

If you post what codes the car has then we can help with fixing it.

"Many" of the owners of these luxury vehicles cars such as Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW, MB, Audi, Alpha Romeo etc don't take care of the vehicles they drive. I've seen car owners drove their Rangies, BMWs, Audis etc like mad even when the roads are full of pot holes. Once the warranty is set to expire, they sell the car and buy a new one and do the same to the previous vehicle they sold. So, the next person who buys their vehicles, the problems starts to emerge and the second owner pays the price. It's just pure luck buying a used car. Have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic before you purchased one.

 

You state 'certified used'...that means Jaguar certified which adds another year of warranty (so 6 years total) from Jaguar the manufacturer and has the best coverage. However then you say '3rd party extended warranty' which is not the same and typically has more restrictions. Which is it? If it's the latter, is it an exclusionarry policy (meaning a policy says everything is covered EXCEPT a list of specified systems/components)?

FYI: for Jaguar and most other warranty, rubber hoses in the coolant system are not covered they are considered wear items, but if the leak turns out to be from a hard plastic part like the water outlet pipe ('Y' pipe) or as you had already fixed, the water pump, don't accept when they say that it's part of the items that are not covered.

Good luck.

 

Sold just before the warranty expired, huh? I've done that with a few Jags I've owned only to learn that Jags can be relatively trouble free for many miles and years thereafter.

Did you look at the Carfax report prior to the purchase to determine if the vehicle has had recurring issues? I always wonder when there is more than one owner of a vehicle during its warranty period or that it was sold as "used" or "preowned" when there is only 20 miles on the odometer (I bought a F-PACE SVR like that). Loaner and company cars also give me something to consider when thinking about buying one.

Many drivers lease their high end luxury vehicles. They beat them to death before turning them in at the end of 10,000, 20,000 or however many miles. A few F-Type owners I know have done just that. A second owner might get away without any major problems but, after that, issues pop up due to early abuse.

I don't know if this might apply to F-PACEs but on other Jags I've owned (F-Types, XE and XF) electronics easily go wonky when the battery is low; even without a "low battery" warning. And a low battery is frequently the result of someone failing to properly exit the electronic system before unplugging from the OBD port. It's a long shot but disconnecting the ground cable from the battery for at least 30 seconds resets the system so that electronics are powered down after the engine is turned off. That might prevent a power drain that causes sensor warnings to appear. Again, this is a WAG on my part but it might be worth trying before giving up on Jags. In the unlikely event this cures the warning just don't be surprised to learn that it may take several attempts to get window one-touch up & down feature and powered tailgate to function. It's one of the quirks about Jags.
