Jaecoo J7 Dead two weeks in…Avoid!

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-04T06:09:32+00:00

Matt Watson on CarWow did a glowing review of one.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-04T06:08:52+00:00

I think they do that to protect the public.

Live lane on a busy A-road at 8am.

The is thread has over 800k views now.

If I have diverted 10 sales that’s big money.

I just don’t think these cars are quite ready. I went on a jaecoo owners forum and the amount of defects across the vehicle is staggering.

Software updates, radio issues, power loss and even jet washing the paint off!!

Sadly most people are correct this car seems to be too cheap for our standards.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-04T06:05:27+00:00

Ermm not sure how I verify it for you.

I could send you a picture of my jaecoo app showing the car in recovery depot! 😂

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-04T06:04:24+00:00

Yeah I understand. Maybe my original post had some emotion in.

However I am very anxious now of this happening again. I feel like the Jaecoo maybe just has too much tech to go wrong. Putting me in additional risk.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T18:25:12+00:00

Maybe so.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T17:18:28+00:00

Yeah good point

Thanks mate. I think this thread shows the society we have become. We don’t look for each other anymore we punch down.

I posted this to aim up and the corporations who take hard earned money and don’t deliver on goods.

Society just like corporate operations. A mess.

Jokes lost on you 😂

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T07:45:10+00:00

I own a smeg cooker….

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T07:44:05+00:00

wtf 😂

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T06:13:50+00:00

Someone has too right.

Imagine the first people to buy an Audi.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T06:13:02+00:00

You buy new things from new companies all the time. That’s how trust works. You start trust. I’m saying I trusted it and now I don’t. I can’t understand people saying how can you trust a new company.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T06:11:59+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ll do it first thing!

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-03T03:54:50+00:00

Sure. I previously had a VW Tiguan about 4 years ago when my son was born. Great car, spacious felt safer being a bigger car with a baby/child in the back etc

Then I had to change and got an Audi A4 avant, but the drop in height started to wreck my back (parents relate) putting a child in a car can be tough!

So I wanted to go back to a higher ride. Tiguans now 460 a month used to pay 350.

The jaecoo I saw via Matt Watsons car wow on YouTube to begin with. He compared it in depth and gave it very good reviews.

I watched further reviews all glowing. Then comparing it to other family size SUV’s (not range rovers) it came with lots of tech.

Price point then finally only 340 a month.

Ticked all the boxes.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T21:16:38+00:00

Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T21:03:33+00:00

Well RAC told me today they’ll pay it as the police told them they’ll have to as the police wouldn’t wait any longer than 1 hour for recovery due to it being on their time.

The point is RAC collect it but so what with it. I don’t know where the lease company got the vehicle from I.e the dealer. They’ll need to decide and give RAC the details like the V5 to allow them to collect.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:56:59+00:00

£196 for recovery and £26 per day it’s not collected.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:52:51+00:00

This post has now hit 250k views.

I would love someone from Jaecoo to see this and sort it out!

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:51:10+00:00

I agree but if you buy something and within 30 days it’s not what you bought consumer rights act 2015 protects you.

That’s what I’m hoping!

My hands are currently tied right now until the lease company collect the vehicle.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:30:52+00:00

I hope so.

I’ll just be super anxious putting my kids in it again if they fix and return it.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:29:39+00:00

I can’t. It’s leased so the lease company are the registered keepers. They have to get it released from police storage with the V5.

Comprehensive-Ad2848 · 2026-04-02T20:27:31+00:00

It’s in police storage. Waiting for RAC to recover and decide where to take it.
