2022 Porsche Taycan Electric Problems And Complaints

2022 Porsche Taycan User Complaints and Problems

Engine and Mechanical Problems

• Engine - On several incidents, the vehicle is reported to shift itself into neutral or hold automatically. The contacts have claimed it to be quite unsafe and unsettling.
• Brakes - A different amount of pressure was needed to apply to the break when at lower speeds compared to higher speeds. At lower speeds there was less responsiveness to the breaks and more pressure was required to stop the car. Even after some inspections, the problem persisted and the vehicle kept showing ‘break fluid low’.
• Powertrain - The vehicle is reported to lose all the power suddenly. It wouldn’t move faster than 5MPH. After a while, the vehicle is reported to be normal but it happened again after some time. 
• Steering - While in reverse gear, the power steering assist would lose all power and the vehicle couldn’t be turned anyway. 

Safety Problems

• Rearview camera - Rear camera view would be distorted while backing up. This wouldn’t let the driver safely see behind you when driving.

Electrical Problems

• Warning lights - While losing sudden power, a small turtle sign would appear on the MID and couldn’t be decoded what it stands for. 
• Infotainment - The display is one LED unified panel and it would go dark, losing its ability to function while the car is in motion. The driver would be forced to lean forward and adjust/reset the panel which could be near fatal if other passengers are not present.
• Battery issues - The 12V battery got discharged despite being continuously driven. When replaced and repaired, 
• Climate control - The heating system would stop working and wouldn’t heat up the cabin. Also, it would cease to defog/defrost the windshield, making the car unsafe to drive.
