NHTSA complaint #11767912, filed 2026-09“On August 21 2021, I was out shopping. When I went out to return home, the car would not start. I could not jump start it or anything.

On Friday Sept 3, I was informed by Porsche customer service that it disabled my car because the original owner (in 2015) changed their phone number. So Porsche assumed stolen and shut down. I did not authorize this, I did not sign up for this service. …”
