The contact owns a 2018 Jaguar F-Pace. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed with several warning lights illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact called a mobile mechanic to the residence, and an OBDII scanner retrieved DTC for the steering rack and pinion. A local dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair.

On 5/18, I was reversing into a parking spot and my steering rack completely locked to the right, with no warning and while in motion, causing me to strike a parked vehicle. The car had to be towed and dealership mechanic said steering rack had an internal mechanical failure and needs replacement. After doing some research, I found forums of numerous people who have had this same issue. This is a known issue by Jaguar for this particular make model and year and they refuse to issue a recall. I had driven on the highway earlier that day and this could have caused a deadly accident had it happened at that time. This is a real safety hazzard for owners and others on the road.

I am reporting a safety defect on a 2018 Jaguar F Pace involving the failure of factory-installed plastic engine components (specifically [mention parts, e.g., coolant crossover pipes/housing]). These components are prone to cracking and rupturing, which has resulted in multiple severe fluid leaks. Safety Risk: These leaks pose a significant fire hazard as fluids are dripping directly onto high-heat engine surfaces and exhaust components. Furthermore, a sudden failure of these plastic pieces while driving can lead to immediate engine overheating and a total loss of power (stalling), which places the driver and passengers at risk of a high-speed collision. My car started smoking in the middl
