Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was making a left hand turn into a shopping center today around 4:55pm and the collision indicator flashed on and jerked my car to a stop in the middle of the road. There were no cars in my immediate area so it should not have been triggered. It was incredibly dangerous as it left me in the middle of the road, mid-turn. I am unaware if this has been checked by my dealership but we have had other issues that they have claimed to check to no avail.”
NHTSA complaint #11765099, filed 2026-09“I am getting a warning and sometimes unwanted braking. the warning is that driver must assume control but this happens when I have all the driver's assist features turned off. on a recent 1500 mile road trip this fault happened at least 10 times at highway speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #11430353, filed 2021-08“On August 28, 2021, I was on I-75 in light traffic going about 70 MPH when a red alert on my screen appeared that said, “COLLISION WARNING.” It remained illuminated for about 3 seconds, then disappeared. It startled me because I didn’t know what evasive action to take. There were no vehicles even close to me. I also continue to receive Driver Attention Required warnings from time to time. My dealer told me that can happen if I don't have both hands on the wheel. In all instances, I had both hands tightly on the wheel. …”
NHTSA complaint #11436290, filed 2021-10“Driving at night at ~72 mph on a 65 mph divided highway with no traffic nearby the Collision Warning message appeared on the dash and the car noticeably slowed perhaps 5-10 mph. Then the msg cleared itself and the trip was completed otherwise uneventfully.”
NHTSA complaint #11476728, filed 2022-07“The Taycan offers what Porsche calls Porsche Innodrive (PID). PID once activated, the car uses navigation information and road signs to automatically adjust the vehicle's speed to the speed limit of the road. In some instances, the system speed freezes at, e.g., 50 mph and no longer adjusts to the speed limit of the road. When this happens, the vehicle will accelerate to the speed it froze at. I have experienced this multiple times. See attached image. The car indicates that it would accelerate to 50 mph in a 25 mph zone. This has happened multiple times, with speeds frozen at 65 mph.”
