Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I would go into reverse and the camera would appear but then disappear as I’m backing up. No more blinking or telling me I am about to crash. Even 3D camera doesn’t work. Drivetrain feels very strange since last OTA update. Making weird noises when driving. Battery sounds like it’s screaming. Something is really wrong.”

NHTSA complaint #11670574, filed 2025-07

“Purchased a used 2024 Polestar from Kia Van Nuys, CA on 5/18/2026. The Acknowledgement Regarding Recalls form noted that The Report indicates that the Vehicle is NOT subject to an open recall at this time. I was having difficulty with the vehicle i.e charging, Internet connection and electronic driver information feedback. I took the vehicle to the Polestar service center on June 1, 2026 and found that the previous 2 recalls for TCAM Reload and a recall on VIDA soft wear version 4.2.13 which required a total soft wear update.”

“The manafactuer distributed a software update to correct issues regarding reverse camera settings. This update has not corrected the issue in my polestar and, in fact, has caused many other disturbances forcing me to seek service at a the closest dealership. When reversing, it will activate the emergency stop function, which has caused much anxiety and stress because not only are the parking sensors nonfunctional, but the thought of the emergency breaks being activated without threat or my regard again is distressing and misleading.”

“My electric system tied to the center console tablet stopped working. There was no active camera, lane assist warnings, music, maps/gps, etc. Nothing worked with no explanation. It felt very dangerous to drive without the electric safety system since this car has bad visibility. Volvo / Polestar denies that there is a problem and said they would fix it with over the air updates.”

NHTSA complaint #11569417, filed 2024-02

“A 2024 Polestar 2 electric vehicle was purchased used from a dealership. At the time of purchase the eCall service light was illuminated. The dealership dismissed the warning light as nothing to be concerned about. The selling dealership had access to a vehicle history report showing a prior accident and performed a pre-delivery inspection before the sale, yet failed to identify or disclose the standing water, exposed wiring, or non-functioning eCall emergency system. …”
