2022 Polestar Polestar 2 Brakes Problems

“This vehicle has, on several occasions, activated the rear parking brake assist while backing into the garage bringing the car to a sudden abrupt stop without reason. It recently has stopped me backing into the driveway from a county road. There is a surmountable curb and a fog line that I cross. I didn't consider this a safety issue until it stopped me in a traffic lane. There isn't a way to disable the system until the car is placed into reverse, and this must be done every drive.”

“The car suddenly showed a BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE and the brakes became minimally responsive, at best. Luckily I was near my house and not going 70 on the freeway or going even 30 downhill on a curvy road! The seat belt started contracting violently multiple times. The parking brake would not work. I could not turn off the vehicle. It would not go into tow mode . I could not open the trunk. The car was SHAKING. The tow operator needed my help to load the vehicle because there was no braking available. He tied it while it was still on, as it would not turn off. …”

“The rear brake pads on Polestar 2s (P2) are susceptible to adhering to the rotors, causing a juddering noise from some of the pad breaking off and left stuck on the rotors.

“After the update that should fix the car, it now has several issues. One Pedal Driving doesn't work. When using One Pedal Driving the car should stop when you release the gas. Now the car continues to roll. It is reporting Brake Failure and Collision Detection Failure . Polestar is saying this is normal after the update and it should fix itself in time. Unacceptable, the car has has issues for a year without any updates. Then this is released and makes it work.”
