Electrical system: “Korea has recalled this model of FPace because the timing chain is known to break with less than 50K miles.

I am terrified that my timing chain is going to come off and damage my engine every time I get in it.”

Other or unknown: “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. As I bent over to pick up the bag, I heard a noise as the Jaguar was coming toward me when the open door of the Jaguar hooked onto the other car in the garage. I had no escape path but the door stopped the car from coming all the way to the wall. If it had not, I would have been trapped against the back wall of the garage. …”
