Intro first, I suppose. I traded a 2015 Mustang and a 2014 Tacoma last month for a 2020 I-Pace HSE. Needed something to drive all 4-seasons here in Utah, but still a blast to drive. Since we'd already been talking about going electric, the I-Pace easily made the top of the list. Got a killer deal from my local Land Rover that was just approved 2 weeks earlier to sell Jaguars too... this was their first Jaguar sale! They beat another dealer's price, so I feel like I stole it with just over $20k off MSRP plus the tax rebate next spring... I couldn't turn them down.
It's exactly the car I wanted, I love it. Except for an electronic clicking noise about every 4 seconds. I don't remember the other test drive car doing this, so I'm curious if anyone else has noticed it. It's located under/behind the steering column... audible anywhere in the car but louder and clearer if you stick your head under the dash. It goes away if the brake pedal is actively being pressed, starts again the moment you release the pedal. Occasionally, after 15-20 minutes of driving, it'll seem to go away, only to start again later. I'm thinking a faulty sensor/controller/computer associated with the braking system? I've scoured the internet and can't find anyone talking about it, so it seems to be a fault rather than how the car is designed to be. I had my local dealer update all the software, which seemed to solve it for a couple hours, then it came back. I've got an appointment this week for an alignment at the main Jaguar dealer in town, so I'll ask them about it then. Any thoughts on where I should have them start on a diagnosis?
I have an audio file in wav, mp3, and m4a formats, and a video in .mov but none of them would upload here. If there's a good way for me to get you access to the sounds, let me know! Excited to be part of the I-Pace world, thanks for the help.
