Complaints are self-reported and skew toward problems people find alarming, so treat this as where to look, not a defect rate.
The mapping system is out of date and tried to route me to an offramp that doesn't exist. I did some research and found the offramp changed over 4 years ago, roughly when the car was built. I took the car to my local dealership to get the maps updated and Porsche claims I have the latest map. I think this is a dangerous situation if someone tried to drift off the road in bad weather (for example) where an offramp doesn't exist. Their newer cars show the correct mapping. Porsche should be made to make the latest maps available to all their cars. It would cost them nothing if they simply posted the data on a website for a user to move it to a USB drive and plug it into the car.
While driving in traffic on a busy highway, I heard a loud clunk from the rear of the car and it instantly decelerated from 70+ miles per hour to 22 miles per hour, where it stayed and would not go faster. I had to get across 3 lanes of traffic to exit. Thereafter, the car would not move and had to be put on a flatbed to get to the Porsche dealer. Note that for 2 years prior the transmission had emitted a whine while in first gear. The dealership (Porsche Austin) said it was normal, but it is a known problem among owners, possibly related to the input shaft bearing. They did not fix it when the problem was first raised. The dealership has diagnosed it only as a transmission error, without providing further detail on what is actually wrong. I should be able to access my dash cam footage if helpful.
This incident is related to the ARB7/24V-732 recall, first communicated to me in November, 2024 and again in July, 2025. The July, 2025 letter states that software would be installed in the vehicle to test the health of my vehicle's battery, at a Porsche Center. I believe that this was actually performed over-the-air at my home. It's my guess that because the software was installed over-the-air, the normal process to close out a recall did not occur. I did not receive notification that my vehicle was determined to be healthy, and it isn't clear when NHTSA did. The slow or non-reporting of the vehicle recall status has had a ripple effect, as practically every third party tracker of recall information believes that the recall is still active on my vehicle. This is impacting the vehicle's worth in the market and may be impacting insurance rates and other vehicle health-dependent service costs. Porsche claims that it is my responsibility to correct the record of the vehicle with third parties, when it is their negligence that is causing the work. I see this as unfinished work on their side, and I ask NHTSA to help drive Porsche Cars North America to complete their work. Moreover, Porsche should be compelled to notify all customers whose health check was performed remotely that their vehicle was found to be healthy and that the recall was lifted on their vehicle. Lastly if it is not mandated that the OEM is responsible to communicate the resolution of recalls performed without service receipts, then this should be considered alongside any other updates to law. Thanks for any help that you can provide.
I am reporting a safety defect involving (1) sudden loss of propulsion (“turtle mode”/limp mode) while accelerating/merging into traffic and (2) unintended steering movement while driver-assist/lane centering was active (vehicle jerked toward adjacent lane and off roadway). These events create an immediate crash risk. The vehicle has also had repeated charging-related overheating/charging stoppage events, which I believe may present a fire risk when charging in a residential garage. Repairs have been attempted multiple times by an authorized Porsche dealer, but defects persist. Warranty has now expired, and an independent scan shows ongoing network/data bus/12V monitoring faults consistent with continuing electrical/network instability. I am requesting NHTSA review for a potential safety defect investigation/recall.
Within a few days of a rain event, I start getting errors involving the lane keep assist, automatic, emergency, breaking, forward collision, warning system, lane departure assist, headlight control unit. God has been taken to the dealership three times in the last six months for this problem and it keeps coming back. This is a safety issue and I don’t feel comfortable taking the car out for a drive when it rains or within a few days after a rain event
The vision. Are no good and the ears
On 9/18/2025, while driving at approximately 45 mph on a busy road called Hualapai in Las Vegas, Nevada, my Porsche Taycan suddenly displayed “Electrical system error – Park vehicle in a safe place”. The car immediately slammed to a stop in live traffic. I heard a loud thump from the front end as this occurred. I was nearly hit by six cars swerving to avoid me in the rain. Gladly no one made contact and no one was hurt. My car turned into a brick in the middle lane with lots of traffic sort of like I brake checked them all. I lost all steering as it locked up, I couldn't get out of fast moving traffic as the car wouldn't go back into drive and had to toggle to neutral and push the car. This was a life-threatening failure that created a dangerous hazard for me and other drivers.
The contact owns a 2022 Porsche Taycan. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V221000 (Air Bags). The contact called a dealer about the recall and was advised that there was no part yet available for the recall repair. The contact called the manufacturer and was provided with similar information. The contact stated that there was a failure, but did not feel safe while a passenger was seated in the front seat. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was unknown.
Engine control error - Park vehicle in a safe space. This error occurred after pressing the accelerator pedal upon switching from Normal to Sport Plus drive mode. When coming to a stop, I tried to accelerate the car but it would jerk. I stopped, put my emergency signal on, turned off and on the car and the error went away.
Complaint Summary: The passenger-side airbag sensor in my 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS has been malfunctioning continuously since I purchased the car as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Park Place Porsche Dallas. The car displays repeated warnings to “Contact your dealer for assistance,” and the passenger-side airbag has been confirmed as non-functional. Details of the Defect: Porsche has acknowledged that this issue is part of an official recall, but there is no repair available and no timeline for when one will be provided. I have had the vehicle in service multiple times (over three months cumulative downtime), yet the defect persists with no remedy offered. Porsche has informed me the vehicle is still “drivable,” but the passenger seat is unsafe to use, and there is potential systemic risk to the driver and other passengers given the nature of the defect. Safety Concern: The fact that the passenger-side airbag does not function makes the vehicle unsafe for occupants. Returning this vehicle to me without a remedy places me, my passengers, and the public at risk. Manufacturer Response: Porsche has refused to provide a fix, a replacement vehicle, or a buyback. They continue to return the vehicle to me in this unsafe condition, stating only that the car is “drivable.” Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Porsche’s handling of this recall, specifically: Why a known safety-critical defect has not been repaired for over two years. Why Porsche continues to return vehicles with disabled airbags to customers without remedy. What steps Porsche will be required to take to protect owners and ensure compliance with federal safety requirements. Owner Impact: I cannot safely use the front passenger seat of my car, and I have no assurance that other airbags will function correctly. This situation has caused significant inconvenience, financial loss, and safety risk to me and my family.
Driving at 45 MPH, and suddenly the car lost the ability to accelerate. It has no power/torque. It seemed to be able to maintain the speed (but not entirely sure or if it was coasting). I had limited areas on the road to turn so took last possible turn to pull over. A shutdown/start corrected the situation. No warning lights or indicators of any kind appeared. Cannot reproduce, which makes this situation more frightening. No other symptoms or warnings before.
Beginning around 45,000 miles, my 2022 Porsche Taycan began experiencing recurring failures in the surround view/backup camera system. One or more camera views will appear blank with a crossed-out camera icon. This affects the federally mandated rear backup camera as well as other viewing angles. The issue occurs intermittently but has become more frequent. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This defect puts my safety and others at risk by eliminating rear visibility when reversing, increasing the likelihood of hitting pedestrians (especially children), missing low obstacles, or colliding with vehicles in blind spots. Backup cameras are critical for preventing these incidents, particularly in driveways, parking lots, and tight urban spaces. The problem has been confirmed by Porsche Silver Spring in Maryland during a recall visit. They stated the repair is not covered and quoted approximately $20,000 to replace the system. The cameras are original equipment and have not been tampered with. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but the defect has been documented in photographs. There were no warning lamps prior to the first failure—only the blank camera screen and crossed-out icon when the failure occurs. Other Porsche Taycan owners have reported similar issues, suggesting this may be a broader design or component defect. I request NHTSA’s investigation to determine if this is a widespread safety defect requiring a recall or manufacturer-supported repair program.
