Seat belt complaints are the clearest pattern owners report on the 2020 F-Pace. Multiple owners describe rear seat belts that fail to retract properly or won't lock into position, sometimes requiring repeated manual adjustments to get them to function at all. On the engine side, a couple of owners report coolant-related problems, specifically a radiator leak and coolant loss that led to overheating with little or no gradual warning, one owner describes the vehicle beginning to smoke under load before they could pull over. The steering and an unintended acceleration complaint each appear in a single report and don't represent a broader pattern in this complaint set. With only 12 total complaints filed, the seat belt retractor issue stands out as the most consistently reported concern.

By System
The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace has 3 recalls, the most serious being a seatbelt retractor defect that can prevent a child safety seat from being held securely, raising the risk of injury in a crash.
Both front passenger seatbelt retractors may fail to lock properly when used to secure a child restraint, allowing the seat to shift or come loose in a collision. The vehicle's lower anchor attachments built into the seat are not affected by this defect and can still be used to install a compatible child seat. The third recall involves the automatic high-beam system, which can switch the headlights to high beams without showing any indicator on the instrument cluster. Because the driver gets no warning that high beams are active, oncoming drivers face reduced visibility, and the distraction or glare can contribute to a crash.
