“I am submitting a complaint regarding my Polestar 3, which is subject to two open NHTSA safety recalls: 26V-037 and 25V-555. I attempted to have these recalls addressed on March 7, 2026, at Volvo Manhattan (an authorized Polestar service provider).

On April 30, 2026, I contacted the Polestar service desk at Volvo Manhattan again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11734764, filed 2026-04“The car software seemed to be experiencing a few glitches, and we arrived home and put it in park.

The driver door would open and everyone climbed out. …”
NHTSA complaint #11721359, filed 2026-03“During the first week of March, 2025, my Polestar 3 suffered a total AC charging failure, meaning I was no longer able to charge at home. March 7 I brought the vehicle to Dyer & Dyver Volvo in Atlanta, GA, and they confirmed that the AC charging inverter failed and would have to be replaced. This part took more than two weeks to receive, and I retrieved the vehicle April 1. This issue seemed resolved since then, however two evenings ago I arrived home to discover that once again the Polestar 3 would not charge, and displayed Charge fault, contact workshop on the driver display. …”
