Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Beginning around 45,000 miles, my 2022 Porsche Taycan began experiencing recurring failures in the surround view/backup camera system. One or more camera views will appear blank with a crossed-out camera icon. This affects the federally mandated rear backup camera as well as other viewing angles. The issue occurs intermittently but has become more frequent. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. …”
NHTSA complaint #11680081, filed 2025-08“The heater and defrost are not working which is especially dangerous during cold weather and/or humid conditions. The vehicle is at the dealership service center where they stated there have been a number of similar issues. The dealer has indicated they will inspect and repair. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to failure. To be fair, I never tried the heater before a cold spell this last week.”
NHTSA complaint #11566244, filed 2024-01“Vehicle heat all of sudden not working. Thus, unable to operate vehicle due to condensation on windows limiting visibility, in addition to cold cabin air. Car dropped off at Porsche dealer, and they confirmed no part availability to fix this widespread issue with Taycans.”
NHTSA complaint #11504373, filed 2023-01“No windshield defrosting and defogging in my 2022 Taycan 4S (purchased new a year ago). Impaired visibility. No heat in passenger compartment. Dealer found electric heater failed and needed replacement. The high-voltage electric in-line heater heats the coolant used for windshield defrosting and defogging, as well as passenger compartment heat. See attachment for system description. The Taycan electric heater is a critical vehicle component to ensure visibility and avoid crashes. …”
