Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Car would go in to P or N during slow moving situations. Could of been rear ended or stuck in the middle of a intersection. Many Taycan owners have had the same issue. First time I was in stop and go traffic, as I let off the brake the car went into N. Second time after a few lights, car was in hold. Noticed the car did not go when light turned green when giving power. It was at P.”

NHTSA complaint #11465064, filed 2022-05

“Car shifted into park unexpectedly mutiple times. First was pulling into a parking spot, going about 2mph and car jolted to a halt, noticed it was in park. Second time I was already stopped, waiting at a red light. Car shifted into park. Both times I was able to put car into drive and resume my driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11464895, filed 2022-05

“Multiple times, after coming to a full stop, the car has silently shifted from D to N or P. I often only notice once I want to drive off again, and am unable to. It happened the first time after only around 100 miles, now with over 3500 miles on the car it still happens from time to time.”

NHTSA complaint #11464901, filed 2022-05

“At low speeds the vehicle removed itself from drive D and shifted into neutral N. The vehicle started jerking forward and back while still moving. Once I put it back in drive it went away. No one was behind me so no accident resulted.”

NHTSA complaint #11464523, filed 2022-05

“Car went into park once and neutral twice while stopped at approximately 1300 and 1700 miles. I took the car to Porsche dealer and was told they would investigate. After two weeks I requested car be returned. They had investigated but couldn't reproduce however car was only driven about 80 miles. They offered to investigate further on my car as they had installed diagnostic software and devices. They then decided they had found an employees Taycan doing the same and removed the diagnostics and returned my car to me.”
