2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN Complaints

No heat in the car and as a result, windows are fogged making it a cold and potentially dangerous drive

I was driving at high speed on the freeway when, suddenly and without warning, the vehicle lost all power. A message reading “Electrical System Error Park Vehicle in a Safe Place”. I was able to glide across five lanes in rush hour traffic to the breakdown lane.

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.

High voltage heater unit stopped working. Unable to defog front windshield leading to dangerous loss of visibility, in addition to unable to heat cabin. I see LOTS of similar reports online. At dealer, awaiting part which will take weeks.

Heater randomly stopped working, defrost won't function and that will cause a safety concern

I have 71 documented cases of Porsche Taycan heating systems failing at https://github.com/evstatus/PorscheTaycan/issues/1 The issue affects all Taycan models going as far back as 2020. This is a safety issue that requires that the car be flatbed towed when the heating system fails, as it affects the ability to effectively defrost and defog the windows in cold environments.

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. In the last 2 years, over 70 Taycan owners (US, Canada, Europe) have reported Taycan electric heater failures in online forums. Three owners have had a second Taycan heater failure a year after the first heater was replaced. Taycan model years 2020, 2021 and 2022. See attachment for owner online posts with URLs.

The display is one LED unified panel and it goes dark and loses its ability to function while the car is in motion. It will prompt you to reboot while the car is in motion. In order to reboot the system driver must lean forward toward the passenger seat left portion of the screen and take 1 hand off the wheel to reboot and takes ones eyes away from the view plane of the road for more than 5 seconds

The vehicle has stalled out repeatedly while driving. When starting from an intersection it will lose all power and a turtle icon shows up on the screen and the car will not move more than 5 MPH. After rolling to a stop, and restarting the car drives okay. Then a few days or a week, month later, it happens again. Also, the PCM repeatedly weekly, fails to boot up and I have no backup camera or controls of the car. The dealer erases codes and gives the car back, they don't know what's wrong.

New car was dead on arrival due to electrical system error. Still not able to fixed after 2 months.
