Example complaints

Electrical system: “Driving on a major roadway with no traffic or obstacles in front of me the car went into emergency braking mode and the engine shut down. The dashboard warning said “Engine Control Issue, Park in a Safe Place”. I could not restart the car for about 15 minutes, then it finally restarted and acted normally. The danger was the car braked violently and stopped in the middle lane of a busy street and I was unable to restart or move the car for about 15 minutes.”

NHTSA complaint #11618882, filed 2024-10

Brakes: “Backing out of a parking space, the car automatically stopped as it should when approaching a curb. When I put the car back in drive and let off the brake, it lurched forward, I then hit the brake and it continued to accelerate for about 20 feet and hit a granite wall.”

NHTSA complaint #11655856, filed 2025-04

Other or unknown: “The rear camera of the Taycan (all models) when viewing makes it feel like I am in a funhouse as all the images are distorted. The camera is actually unusable. I can see this potentially causing accidents for those that are using it. Can’t even tell from the pole or car next me how close or far it is from me. My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Willys camera is far superior as was the rear camera on my 2014 BMW Gran Turismo. Can you please ask for an update as it should be required.”
