Vehicle experienced a sudden, complete loss of motive power while driving in active traffic at night, creating an immediate crash hazard. The vehicle had just been picked up from an authorized Porsche Service Center approximately 12 hours prior (picked up between 11:00AM - 12:00 PM, failed at 11:09 PM) after undergoing a comprehensive 60K mile scheduled service and a mandatory manufacturer software recall campaign. Without warning, the vehicle completely stalled and dropped into an undriveable state. The driver’s instrument cluster immediately illuminated two major critical alerts: "Transmission failure" and "Engine control error." Because the vehicle was stranded dangerously in live traffic, local police were dispatched to assist with safety and traffic control (Police Incident #XXX). The vehicle had to be urgently towed from the roadway at an out-of-pocket cost of $300, and it has been returned directly to the authorized Porsche service center in [XXX].

What 2022 Porsche Taycan owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Porsche dealers are not fixing this recall. They offer service appointments 6 months in advance, and then cancel at the last minute. I've been trying to get this recall done for 18 months, with no success.
The mapping system is out of date and tried to route me to an offramp that doesn't exist. I did some research and found the offramp changed over 4 years ago, roughly when the car was built. I took the car to my local dealership to get the maps updated and Porsche claims I have the latest map. I think this is a dangerous situation if someone tried to drift off the road in bad weather (for example) where an offramp doesn't exist. Their newer cars show the correct mapping. Porsche should be made to make the latest maps available to all their cars. It would cost them nothing if they simply posted the data on a website for a user to move it to a USB drive and plug it into the car.
While driving in traffic on a busy highway, I heard a loud clunk from the rear of the car and it instantly decelerated from 70+ miles per hour to 22 miles per hour, where it stayed and would not go faster. I had to get across 3 lanes of traffic to exit. Thereafter, the car would not move and had to be put on a flatbed to get to the Porsche dealer. Note that for 2 years prior the transmission had emitted a whine while in first gear. The dealership (Porsche Austin) said it was normal, but it is a known problem among owners, possibly related to the input shaft bearing. They did not fix it when the problem was first raised. The dealership has diagnosed it only as a transmission error, without providing further detail on what is actually wrong. I should be able to access my dash cam footage if helpful.
This incident is related to the ARB7/24V‑732 recall, first communicated to me in November, 2024 and again in July, 2025. The July, 2025 letter states that software would be installed in the vehicle to test the health of my vehicle's battery, at a Porsche Center. I believe that this was actually performed over-the-air at my home. It's my guess that because the software was installed over-the-air, the normal process to close out a recall did not occur. I did not receive notification that my vehicle was determined to be healthy, and it isn't clear when the federal safety agency did. The slow or non-reporting of the vehicle recall status has had a ripple effect, as practically every third party tracker of recall information believes that the recall is still active on my vehicle. This is impacting the vehicle's worth in the market and may be impacting insurance rates and other vehicle health-dependent service costs. Porsche claims that it is my responsibility to correct the record of the vehicle with third parties, when it is their negligence that is causing the work. I see this as unfinished work on their side, and I ask the federal safety agency to help drive Porsche Cars North America to complete their work. Moreover, Porsche should be compelled to notify all customers whose health check was performed remotely that their vehicle was found to be healthy and that the recall was lifted on their vehicle. Lastly if it is not mandated that the OEM is responsible to communicate the resolution of recalls performed without service receipts, then this should be considered alongside any other updates to law. Thanks for any help that you can provide.
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. Warranty has now expired, and an independent scan shows ongoing network/data bus/12V monitoring faults consistent with continuing electrical/network instability. I am requesting the federal safety agency review for a potential safety defect investigation/recall.
Within a few days of a rain event, I start getting errors involving the lane keep assist, automatic, emergency, breaking, forward collision, warning system, lane departure assist, headlight control unit. God has been taken to the dealership three times in the last six months for this problem and it keeps coming back. This is a safety issue and I don’t feel comfortable taking the car out for a drive when it rains or within a few days after a rain event

The contact owns a 2022 Porsche Taycan. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V221000 (Air Bags). The contact called a dealer about the recall and was advised that there was no part yet available for the recall repair. The contact called the manufacturer and was provided with similar information. The contact stated that there was a failure, but did not feel safe while a passenger was seated in the front seat. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was unknown.
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. I lost all steering as it locked up, I couldn't get out of fast moving traffic as the car wouldn't go back into drive and had to toggle to neutral and push the car. This was a life-threatening failure that created a dangerous hazard for me and other drivers.
