Complaints are self-reported and skew toward problems people find alarming, so treat this as where to look, not a defect rate.
When the forward collision warning activates, the braking pedal loses its effectiveness and causes the car to brake much more slowly than it should, which actually increases the chance of a collision occurring. This has happened multiple times to me in the past few weeks. It is a very dangerous problem.

While charging my 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S at an Electrify America station, white smoke began emitting from the front wheel/charging port area. The vehicle also produced a burning odor inside the cabin. I immediately stopped charging and unplugged the vehicle. The smoke ceased within approximately 1–2 minutes. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Porsche dealership. Initial explanation from the dealer was steam from when radiators heats-up, which is inconsistent with the conditions and prior use history. Upon further inspection, the dealership identified battery-related issues. Ultimately, I was told that 8 out of 10 battery cells were replaced. The vehicle was out of service for approximately one month. The dealership stated that the battery cell issue was not related to the smoke event, which is concerning given the timing and severity of the incident. This vehicle had previously been subject to a battery-related recall addressed via software update only. I believe there is also ongoing litigation related to battery safety in this model. Given the smoke event, burning odor, and significant battery component replacement, I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle, particularly risk of thermal event or fire during charging. Note, I have a video of the smoke when car was charging, not able to upload video here
1. Do not charge the car more 80% fire risk. 2. Loss of power stalling,software malfunction. 3. Battery/Electrical: Battery issues,erratic instrument panel gauges or lights. electronic stability control overheating. 4. Miscellaneous Concerns; Battery power loss.

This is a known Safety Recall, Porsche Recall ARB7 / NHTSA ID 24V-732. I received the "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" Notice in November regarding possible battery cell module defects that could result in a battery fire. I contacted Porsche today and was told that there still is no remedy and that we will be contacted once there is one. I wanted to register a complaint, as suggested, if there is an unacceptable delay in fixing this. It seems to me that more than 3 months without a remedy in sight for an "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" that could result in a battery fire that could be deadly is unacceptable. Please facilitate compliance by Porsche with this "Important Safety Recall" by whatever means are at your disposal. Thanks for your assistance, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Driving on a major roadway with no traffic or obstacles in front of me the car went into emergency braking mode and the engine shut down. The dashboard warning said “Engine Control Issue, Park in a Safe Place”. I could not restart the car for about 15 minutes, then it finally restarted and acted normally. The danger was the car braked violently and stopped in the middle lane of a busy street and I was unable to restart or move the car for about 15 minutes.
On December 24, 2023, my family and I were involved in a serious accident while driving our 2023 Porsche Taycan. I was making a left turn at approximately 10 mph when a 2009 Honda Fit, traveling in excess of 65 mph, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck the left side of my vehicle. The impact was concentrated on the area around the front door, fender, and left-side charge port, causing over $60,000 in damage and rendering the vehicle a total loss. Despite the severity of the impact, the side curtain airbags failed to deploy. This malfunction significantly compromised the safety of my family, leading to a 60% tear in my left rotator cuff, which required surgery. The failure of the airbags exposed both me and my family to a greater risk of serious injury or death. The body shop recommended by the dealer, as well as the dealership itself, have both acknowledged this issue. The body shop could not understand why the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request. Prior to the incident, there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms indicating any potential problems with the vehicle’s safety systems. The failure of these critical components was only discovered as a result of this accident.
Car has collision detection and remedy system that detects for impending collision and activates braking. Incident occurred when the car in front abruptly brakes and my car detected collision and applied brakes, however, the brakes were not fully applied and would not completely stop to avoid colliding with the rear end of the car. Most importantly, the car would not respond to me pushing the brakes. I tried a couple of times in the short time before I had to turn into the next lane to evade collision. Luckily there were no car next to me. Also the pedal sometimes need to be pressed hard for the brakes to work effectively, and feel the brakes are soft. This happened a few times and both instances were reported to Porsche dealer. This is very dangerous as it occurs when you least expect, and leaves no error code. Dealer found the pedals to be ‘soft’ and adjusted but brake fading issue still persist. This car is a death trap with many recalls including battery bricking on the highway rendering the car immobile in the middle of traffic. Porsche should be forced to buy the car back.
