Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I continuously get 2 messages when I start the car: Rear Cross Traffic Alert Not Available and ParkAssist not available . The biggest problem is that when this happens, the rear camera does not work while in reverse. This has caused several near accidents for me. I took it back to the dealer twice, and they could not find out what the issue is, although they did experience it. I also have photographs of the messages.”
NHTSA complaint #11429450, filed 2021-08“The Park Assist system frequently throws a warning that the system is malfunctioning & requires service. During this time the system does not in fact work. However, the system will work again after the car has been turned off for a while, so it seems like the error message is wrong and it’s more of a software problem then a hardware problem that requires service.”
NHTSA complaint #11442473, filed 2021-12“The car experiences issue, after issue, including but not limited to collision alert warning not functioning, lane change assist failure, and the alarm sounding (disturbing the peace). As Porsche fixes the issues one by one, other matters emerge. The latest is the antania, and communications.”
