Owner complaints31

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Owners report frequent issues with the 2022 Porsche Taycan's electrical system, particularly involving sudden loss of power while driving, which can lead to the vehicle coasting to a stop. Complaints often describe problems with the heating system failing, impacting the ability to defrost or defog windows, thus compromising visibility and safety in cold conditions. Some reports involve the vehicle spontaneously shifting gears or displaying error messages related to the electrical system. Notably, there are incidents involving fires, including one where the vehicle self-ignited, and another where the charger caused a garage fire. These issues often occur within the first few months of ownership, and some incidents have resulted in crashes or electric shock injuries, highlighting potential safety risks for prospective buyers.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 2 fire, 1 injury reports

Owner complaints16

POWER TRAIN

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan frequently report issues with the vehicle unexpectedly shifting from Drive to Neutral or Park, particularly during low-speed or stationary conditions such as at stoplights or while parking. Symptoms often include the car coming to a halt or failing to accelerate when expected, with some drivers noting a lack of warning lights or messages. Complaints often mention these issues occurring within the first few thousand miles of ownership. Safety implications are noted, as some drivers describe near-miss situations in traffic due to the vehicle's sudden loss of drive mode, with one report mentioning a near crash when the brakes were unresponsive in Neutral. Buyers should be aware of these reported issues, especially given that some cases have not been resolved even after dealer inspections.

Owner complaints8

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Owners report several issues with the 2022 Porsche Taycan, particularly involving electrical and heating systems. Multiple complaints describe failures in the cabin heater, leading to fogged windows and cold driving conditions, a known issue without a recall. Electrical system malfunctions are also noted, with one incident involving uncontrolled acceleration in reverse resulting in a crash. Another owner details a critical malfunction during DC fast charging, causing fire and smoke at the charging port, though the cause remains unclear. Some owners experience issues with the vehicle's LED display going dark and the vehicle unintentionally switching to Park during drives. These issues present potential safety risks including visibility impairment, loss of vehicle control, and fire hazards.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 0 injury reports

Owner complaints3

STEERING

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan report several steering-related issues, primarily involving sudden loss of steering control and unexpected braking. Complaints frequently mention incidents where the vehicle abruptly stops or applies brakes at highway speeds, accompanied by warning messages, despite the driver already having control of the steering wheel. Another common issue involves the car shifting into park mode without user intervention, even while stationary or in drive mode. These problems typically occur without prior warning and have been noted both in stationary and moving scenarios. Safety implications are significant, as these malfunctions can lead to loss of control, creating a risk of rear-end collisions or other accidents.

Owner complaints3

ENGINE

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan report issues primarily related to unexpected gear shifting while the vehicle is stopped. Complaints frequently mention the car shifting itself into neutral or park, especially when stopped at traffic lights. This issue is described as occurring intermittently over several months, with some owners experiencing it 6-7 times. There are no reports of crashes or loss of power while driving, but the unexpected shifting is noted as unsettling. Buyers should be aware of these reported symptoms, which suggest potential concerns with the vehicle's transmission or drive mode systems.

Owner complaints3

BACK OVER PREVENTION

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan report issues related to the back over prevention systems, with complaints frequently mentioning malfunctions in the ParkAssist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems. Symptoms include persistent error messages on the display, failure of sensor-based alerts, and distorted backup camera views, which compromise the ability to judge distances accurately. Some owners note that these issues appear from the start and do not resolve after multiple vehicle restarts. The complaints do not specify mileage, but the problems are described as ongoing and unresolved at the time of reporting. Safety implications include reduced rear visibility and compromised reversing capabilities, particularly given the Taycan's limited rear window size.

Owner complaints2

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan report issues with the vehicle's electric heater, which impacts both windshield defrosting and passenger compartment heating. Complaints frequently mention that the heater failure leads to impaired visibility due to fogging windows, as well as a lack of heat in the cabin. Some owners note that the problem arises approximately a year after purchase, with reports of heater failures also occurring in previous model years (2020 and 2021). The safety implications include potential visibility hazards, though no specific crashes or incidents are detailed in the complaints. Buyers should be aware that this issue is noted by multiple owners and may require attention to ensure safe operation.

Owner complaints2

AIR BAGS

Owners of the 2022 Porsche Taycan report issues with the passenger-side airbag, specifically mentioning a malfunctioning sensor that results in the airbag being non-functional. Complaints frequently mention warning messages advising owners to contact their dealer for assistance and note the lack of available repairs despite the issue being acknowledged in a recall. The timeline for these unresolved issues extends over two years, with one owner experiencing over three months of cumulative downtime. Safety implications include the inability to safely use the front passenger seat and potential risk to occupants, as the airbag system may not function correctly in the event of a crash. Buyers considering a used Taycan should be aware of these ongoing airbag issues and the potential for significant inconvenience and safety risks.

Owner complaints2

SERVICE BRAKES

Owners report issues with the brakes on the 2022 Porsche Taycan, particularly at lower speeds. Complaints frequently mention a lack of responsiveness and the need for increased pressure to stop the vehicle, with some owners having to pump the brakes or take evasive action to avoid accidents. In some cases, an error message regarding low brake fluid appears, prompting dealer visits where brake boosters are replaced. These symptoms suggest potential safety implications due to brake malfunctions, with owners experiencing these problems despite dealer evaluations initially finding no issues. Buyers should be aware of these reported brake concerns when considering a used Taycan.
