Did any makers had zero problems with their first and second gen plug-ing and hybrids in the last ten years ? It seems they all had some major growing pains.

That's lithium ion batteries for you.

Why would you ever buy a hybrid JLR product

To get past those pesky ULEZ mall carparks.

Are these the PHEVs or the Mild Hybrid?

I answered it, mild hybrid. It wasn't a yes or no question?

He asked what type of hybrid and you just said “hybrid”

Regular hybrids and mild hybrids are different

Heres to many more…feel like all the oddball bev EV phev hybrid etc. that came out of the woodwork in recent years are like complicated pet projects that will have little support in the near future unless you find decent independent shops that will work on them.

Wow, JLR is actually fixing an electrical problem. Kudos to them!

Has Jeep fixed theirs yet?

Absolutely not. They’re just gonna stop making them.

It’s shameful. They would be such excellent products, if only they could be trusted. The Pacifica Hybrid has been the best minivan for roughly a decade.

Absolutely not. They’re just gonna stop making them.

I mean, that's all of Jaguar right now.

The recall affects the Jaguar E-Pace and F-Pace, as well as the Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover Velar

Would be easier to type out what it doesn't affect

AI would flip it and bring bad press to these models.

Feel like this means it affects basically all of the cars of JLR
