“I have continued to have issues with the Rear Camera on 2022 Polestar 2. This was supposedly resolved in a software update to version 3.6.4, which I had upgraded at Polestar Boston on 7/23. However, there have been no changes since the update and the rear camera will still intermittently turn off (black message Camera is temporarily unavailable ) or flicker when in reverse.”

NHTSA complaint #11677618, filed 2025-07

“The car's rear camera freezes up for a few second and then blacks out intermittently. An error code even appears, Camera is temporarily unavailable. I am terrified that one of my kids (or someone else) is going to run behind the car and I won't realize it because the camera is frozen. I know other owners are experiencing this, too, and it's only a matter of time until it kills someone.”

NHTSA complaint #11587086, filed 2024-05

“On 12/27, I was on I-5 North driving up during daytime. Auto-headlight and daytime running lights stopped working. I noticed from the reflection that I don’t have ANY headlight (even the DRL) when the lights were on AUTO mode. Also, when I look at my driver display, I noticed the green headlights icon was completely gone! …”

The car is not safe and the software is not stable.”
