Example complaints

“On 9/18/2025, while driving at approximately 45 mph on a busy road called Hualapai in Las Vegas, Nevada, my Porsche Taycan suddenly displayed “Electrical system error – Park vehicle in a safe place”. The car immediately slammed to a stop in live traffic. I heard a loud thump from the front end as this occurred. I was nearly hit by six cars swerving to avoid me in the rain. Gladly no one made contact and no one was hurt. My car turned into a brick in the middle lane with lots of traffic sort of like I brake checked them all. …”
NHTSA complaint #11688268, filed 2025-09“On 3/26/23 my 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo self-ignited in our garage and created a lithium fire literally incinerating itself and completely destroying 3 other cars, the garage and approximately 35% of our home. The resulting fire filled the home with smoke, soot and required us to leave the house immediately and we have yet to return. The car was not being charged at the time of the fire; the charging unit was stored in the truck anticipating the dealership's promise to pick up the car for repair (again) the very next day. …”
NHTSA complaint #11590645, filed 2024-05“I am reporting a safety defect involving (1) sudden loss of propulsion (“turtle mode”/limp mode) while accelerating/merging into traffic and (2) unintended steering movement while driver-assist/lane centering was active (vehicle jerked toward adjacent lane and off roadway). These events create an immediate crash risk. The vehicle has also had repeated charging-related overheating/charging stoppage events, which I believe may present a fire risk when charging in a residential garage. Repairs have been attempted multiple times by an authorized Porsche dealer, but defects persist. …”
NHTSA complaint #11717011, filed 2026-02“While driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to quickly decelerate. Pressing the accelerator pedal had no effect. The car behind me quickly swerved to avoid hitting me. I was able to maneuver the car onto the shoulder and very slowly exited the freeway. I noticed a warning light shaped like a turtle on the cluster display flashing. I stopped fully and turned off the vehicle. The car was then towed to the nearest Porsche dealer. One week later, the dealer was inspected the vehicle and was unable to reproduce the issue. No repair was performed and Car was returned.”
NHTSA complaint #11603667, filed 2024-07“While driving on the city streets, the vehicle would not accelerate properly. At a stop sign, when pressing the accelerator, the vehicle started to jerk forward slowly and would not accelerate properly. A turtle started to flash on the cluster display. Trying to get to a safe location, the vehicle kept jerking forward slowly while slowly increasing speed and flashing the turtle icon.”
