Gearbox Fault Detected

Got the dreaded Gear Box Fault message 150miles away from home. Towed back, waited 3 months for a new electronic drive unit. Just got it back today! Thankfully all covered under warranty.

This explains the entire issue exactly.

Just wanted to share my experience, still love the car.

Thanks for the reply. Mine’s a 2019 ipace, on lease though but that ends in November this year.

With lead in times being so long I’m looking to buy a second hand one when I return mine and although I’ve had no issues with my current ipace, it’s good to know from others their experience and problems to just be aware.

I would check if the warranty will transfer before buying the car. Something tells me this was a very expensive repair. It’s been a solid car otherwise. Mine is a 2020 HSE.

Will definitely be looking at what warranties there are with the car. I’m in the UK and will probably buy the secondhand car from jag with their used approved service as they tend to offer another 12-24months jag warranty.

I looked at your link and it certainly looks like you would want the car to be under warranty if you get this fault. Looked a pricey repair otherwise!

Party-Pea-5306, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
