2022 Polestar Polestar 2 Forward collision avoidance Problems

“Modem failed on vehicle on 02/04/222. Vehicle went in for diagnostic service on that issue on 02/14/2022. Manufacturer installed new software update which added Auto Brake part of Cross Traffic Alert is to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance to avoid collision and did not tell me it was added or advise how to disable it. On the morning of 2/15/2022, while using due caution and circumspection, I attempted to back into my flat, level and unobstructed residential driveway. …”

“Polestar release version 3.6.4 update that when applied did not inform us that the one pedal drive was set. The vehicle prior to the update was set to 2 pedal meaning when the gas pedal was let go it would coast and slowly come to a stop. The one pedal immediately was enabled which is a safety as I was not aware and the software did not mention it being activated. It nearly caused me to have a safety issue driving home. The backup camera which has been recalled and polestar sent a notice to update the vehicle is still having failures. …”

“While under light braking in the center lane of the highway at roughly 40MPH and 3-4 car lengths behind the vehicle in front the Automatic Emergency Braking system activated and brought the car to a complete stop.

After coming to a complete stop, the vehicle allowed me to proceed. There were vehicles in neighboring lanes, but at not point was there a situation that would warrant emergency intervention.”

“On 12/26/2021, I merged onto the I-5 South highway to Irvine, CA, and engaged Pilot Assist. The “speedometer dial” icon turned yellow (as expected), but the “car in front” and “hand hold wheel” icons remained grayed out. I believe this indicated 2 things: (1) the car was still looking for a lead car, and (2) the car was searching for clear lane markings. Everything appeared to be normal at this point as it does take some time to take over the steering. As I approach a slower moving lead car in front of me, I noticed that the car was still at my set speed (~75mph). …”

“A new software update was recently released to fix a previous recall of the backup camera. Ever since that version 5 of the software was released, the display unit computer randomly resets during the drive. During the report, all blind spot, cruise control, lane sensing, sensors, etc are not working and take multiple minutes to turn on and the activate.”
