Sunday September 8 I plugged my Taycan into my charger at approxmately 1PM. Later I went into my garage approximately 3PM to get something, and it was filled with smoke. After extinguishing the fire, I noticed the cause was the PLUG attached to the Porsche charger had caurght fire and melted the outlet which then caught my garage wall on fire. Had I not been home, my house would have caught fire.

POWER TRAIN

Vehicle LOST PROPULSION while driving on the road. The motor (traction inverter) abruptly started to vibrate very aggressively, then the error warning "ENGINE CONTROL ERROR" flashed on the cluster display. The car immediately stopped responding to the gas/drive pedal and quickly coasted to a stop. After a full power-off then back on, the car woke back up like normal - as if nothing had happened. Happened twice now, each time within a few minutes of starting the car. This vehicle is NOT SAFE TO DRIVE at the moment.

Dec 11, 2024

Car lost ability to accelerate (motive power) while driving. Depending on the situation, this can be extremely dangerous. I brought my car to Porsche 4+ times with this problem, they attempt to fix it, but the problem returns.

Jul 25, 2024

Owned the car for 6 months and driving down highway and car just shuts off, limited braking and no accelerator. Coasts to a stop and then stops in the middle of the highway. My daughter and i were almost killed by the car behind us. Had to run across highway to get to safety. Porsche North America says this is just a service issue and not a safety issue. Google search reveals this is a widespread problem and not an isolated event as was told to owner. This was my 6th porsche and my last. Was told the power converter from AC to DC was fried and replacement part took almost 4 weeks to get and replace. No prior warnings lamps or indication that something was about to fry and cause the car to become inoperable.

Aug 12, 2023

There have been four total episodes when the car would not accelerate when the acceleration pedal was pressed. The last time it happened (late October 2022) the acceleration was very sluggish and I barely made it home. This happened on a residential street, and continued for 10+ minutes. If this power loss occurred on a highway, it could have lead to a very dangerous situation. There were no errors/warnings on dash. I brought the car for service to address this issue on Nov 2nd to Porsche Irvine. They told me that they identified a problem and had to replace "rear control unit" but since it's not available, they cannot provide ETA and car is still in service for 30 days now.

Dec 03, 2022

I bought the car on April 22, 2021 and driven the new car approx. 250 miles and on a short trip of 2 miles, the car stuttered and shook briefly and a yellow warning light appeared on the main dash. It said something like "engine control issue, is drivable, take to workshop" so I proceeded, a mile later I pulled into the driveway of a relative and the yellow warning turned red and started beeping repeatedly. It said the "car could not go into park". I blocked the back wheel and turned the car off, locked it and came back about 3-4 hours later. The beeping started again and the red warning returned. It started and went into reverse but died once the car was in the street. Put in neutral and pushed to the curb. Tow truck Porsche sent took car to dealer on May 9th and they checked it into service on the following day. It has stayed at the dealer service center ever since and counting today, that is 37 days. Finally, they are shipping a new transmission from Germany to install in the car. They have tried several attempts to fix and shipped a shifter motor from Germany that did not fix the issue. At this point I do not think they know, for sure, what is wrong with the car. I have requested that Porsche North America buyback the car so I can buy another one. They keep telling me to be patient while they investigate and go through their processes. We are nearing 6 weeks of no progress.

SERVICE BRAKES

5 complaints

On September 5th I was driving my 2021 Taycan 4S on my way to the Gym at 4:15 am, at that time there hardly any traffic. As am merging on the 101 southbound at the nearest on ramp everything seemed ok, as am driving along at 60-65 mph, I came to a downhill and the car was gaining speed, I stepped on the brake pedal to slow it down and to my surprise the brake pedal went all the way down to the floor! I had no brakes and gaining speed, my first thought was if the brakes had failed I would either crash the car against the freeway sidewalks or try to find a place where I can crash without hurting other drivers, fortunately I kept on pressing the brake pedal and it built up some pressure to slow it down but not to stop it, I kept my cool, but I was shaking knowing that I had no brakes! after a few miles the car was slowing down and was able To get off the freeway and pulled into my gym’s parking lot that luckily has an uphill and it helped to slow it down to a complete stop. At this point there was no warnings or error on the dashboard until it came to a complete stop, the message read “PSM failure” and to visit the workshop, nothing about the brake failure that had just happened! And it was after 2 hours, the failure occurred at 4:15 am and that did not show up until 6:12 am. I went into my gym to calm myself down after this horrible experience and after an hour or so I went back to my car and that is when I saw the warning, after a while I called Porsche road assistance and left the car where it was because Porsche road assistance couldn’t send a tow truck quickly, I revived a call from the tow truck company at 9:00 am and met them at the location, I explained to the driver what had happened and as he drove the car out of the parking spot brake fluid started to spray,out of the driver side font caliper, and there was a poodle of brake fluid under the car.

Oct 02, 2024

The brakes had no air pressure when trying to slow down; Completely Totalled Which then caused a collision into another vehicle; The car had significant damage with inspection by Insurance adjuster and collision team; No warning lights and had been in the Porsche dealership for computer updates prior to incident.

Crash: 1

The brakes fail in wet conditions. Porsche Taycan has 2 brake systems- light braking is regenerative braking (converting mechanical energy into electricity) and for heavier braking the mechanical disc brakes take over IN THIS FAILURE SITUATION in wet conditions pressing the brake pedal does VERY LITTLE to slow the car. DURING THESE FAILURE SITUATIONS, there is 0 regenerative braking occurring. Normally if there is 0 regen braking mechanical brakes engage at 1% brake pedal press so the entirety of the brake pedal engages the mechanical brakes. DURING THIS FAILURE SITUATION, the mechanical braking system does not engage early so it does not begin to engage until near the end of the brake pedal travel. DURING THIS FAILURE EVENT, THE MECHANICAL BRAKES ARE ONLY AT MINIMAL STOPPING POWER (+/- 20%). It has been compared to the first stop after getting a car washed– one must ‘jam on’ their brakes in order to get their car to stop, after which it tends to stop well. Cars come from the car wash at 1-3 mph, so 10-20% braking power does not put the user in jeopardy. IN THESE FAILURE SITUATIONS THE PORSCHE TAYCAN only has 10-20% stopping power WHILE TRAVELLING ‘AT SPEED’ ON NORMAL ROADWAYS The first time this happened I was approaching a stop light in traffic. If the turn lane weren’t empty I WOULD HAVE CRASHED into the cars ahead of me; I jerked the car into the turn lane & eventually came to a stop, with the brake pedal pressed in at 100% for the entire time. It happens at speeds from 3-50 mph It HAS been reproduced with myself in the car by Porsche service, and by other people in their cars, it was reproduced on my car AND ALL OTHER TAYCANS ON THE LOT at the dealer – each car did it The dealer has done ‘everything in their power’ but it is still happening. I was told Porsche NA was investigating on their wet track at their Atlanta HQ, but that the cars ‘tested as designed’ No warning messages or errors –the regen braking gauge always shows 0% while this happens

This vehicle is fully electric, and it uses regeneration while braking. With regeneration on, the braking distance is much shorter than without. The driver does NOT have any means to turn regeneration off while braking. In some instances, the first time the braking system is engaged, regeneration does not kick in, and the braking distance is unexpectedly longer than usual. This has always happened after the car was off for a while and only during the first hard braking. I captured a video of one of these instances.

Mar 24, 2022

The vehicle would loose braking pressure after a few minutes of driving. This occurred when the vehicle transitions from regenerative braking to standard braking. Dealer states it is a problem with the brake booster.

ENGINE

4 complaints

I was stopped at an intersection waiting for traffic. There was a small opening in traffic, and I accelerated rapidly from a stop while making a left turn to enter traffic when the "engine/motor" suddenly completely died, and the car quickly came to a stop. The dash displayed a message: "Engine Control Error. Park vehicle in a safe place." Had there been a semi-truck that could not stop behind me, there would have been a collision. I turned the car off and then back on, and was able to drive the car. I had it serviced at Hennessy Porsche in Atlanta. They "reprogrammed" the car. I showed them some reports from the Taycan Forum of other incidents where this problem occurred, including one from a mechanic in the UK, which is attached. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/explained-wna5-drive-system-control-fault.25777/ This report states that once the problem occurs, it cannot be fixed with reprogramming. I have no idea whether he is right, but the post he made includes significant details about the problem. If what happened to me happens again to me or anyone else with this model car, an accident is bound to happen and likely be bad.

Dec 05, 2025

About a month ago while driving at low speed (about 25mph), the car started to shake and the following error was displayed - Engine Control Error - Park Vehicle in a Safe Place. I pulled over, shut the car down, waited 30 seconds and restarted it. The same incident happened a week later. Because again I was driving at low speed, I was able to pull over and shut down/restart the car. This incident scared me, because the car was shutting down while driving. If I was driving at high speed, I could be in serious trouble. I contacted Porsche dealership, setup an appointment and brought the car in. I was told that this issue was caused by cooling fans failure and the issue was addressed. I picked up the car a week ago. Since then, I had the same issue happened twice, including tonight. I started looking online for similar issues and found out on Reddit that this is a common issue in 2021 Taycan. It also looks like Porsche doesn't have a fix for this dangerous issue. The car just shuts down in mid drive. So far I've been lucky enough to drive slow on two lane roads, so I was able to pull over. What will happen if car shuts down on the highway, while driving 60mph? Since this looks to be a common occurrence, I believe Porsche should be notified and take ownership of this issue.

Oct 31, 2025

when push the pedal little hard from slow driving, i get the warning: " Engine control error, park vehicle in a safe place" and the car goes dead and lose power. it happened few days ago on the highway, the car stopped responding and i got that warning, luckily there was a shoulder on the highway to park the car, otherwise it would be very dangerous, i turned the car off, waited about 2 minutes then turned it on, all worked, i could drive it carefully back home, called the porsche dealer about the issue and got an appointment to see what is going on with this problem.

The contact owns a 2021 Porsche Taycan. The contact stated while his wife was driving 35 mph, the service engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle sputtered and loss motive power. After approximately ten minutes, the vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. The failure recurred and persisted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not yet diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,900.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

4 complaints

Driving at night at ~72 mph on a 65 mph divided highway with no traffic nearby the Collision Warning message appeared on the dash and the car noticeably slowed perhaps 5-10 mph. Then the msg cleared itself and the trip was completed otherwise uneventfully.

Jul 31, 2022

The Taycan offers what Porsche calls Porsche Innodrive (PID). PID once activated, the car uses navigation information and road signs to automatically adjust the vehicle's speed to the speed limit of the road. In some instances, the system speed freezes at, e.g., 50 mph and no longer adjusts to the speed limit of the road. When this happens, the vehicle will accelerate to the speed it froze at. I have experienced this multiple times. See attached image. The car indicates that it would accelerate to 50 mph in a 25 mph zone. This has happened multiple times, with speeds frozen at 65 mph.

Mar 24, 2022

On August 28, 2021, I was on I-75 in light traffic going about 70 MPH when a red alert on my screen appeared that said, “COLLISION WARNING.” It remained illuminated for about 3 seconds, then disappeared. It startled me because I didn’t know what evasive action to take. There were no vehicles even close to me. I also continue to receive "Driver Attention Required" warnings from time to time. My dealer told me that can happen if I don't have both hands on the wheel. In all instances, I had both hands tightly on the wheel. I sent an email to my dealer's manager with a request that he document this with Porsche corporate and that I receive a written response that includes the number of owners reporting a similar event to Porsche, Porsche's attempts to ascertain a cause, Porsche’s determination of the probable cause and Porche’s proposed remedy. He replied, "I’ve escalated your concerns to PCNA." They asked me to take my 2021 Taycan RWD in for them to download the event log for analysis. I did that. Hearing nothing back three weeks later, I followed up with another email to my dealer. I promptly received a phone call from the service manager saying that he was told by PCNA "that they reviewed the log, they have never seen or heard of the problem and that they don't know what may have caused it."

Oct 11, 2021

I am getting a warning and sometimes unwanted braking. the warning is that driver must assume control but this happens when I have all the driver's assist features turned off. on a recent 1500 mile road trip this fault happened at least 10 times at highway speeds.

The Park Assist system frequently throws a warning that the system is malfunctioning & requires service. During this time the system does not in fact work. However, the system will work again after the car has been turned off for a while, so it seems like the error message is wrong and it’s more of a software problem then a hardware problem that requires service.

Rearview camera picture quality is poor, even in ideal weather conditions.

Oct 28, 2021

The rear camera required by the DOT presents a distorted image making objects appear farther away than they actually are. The problem is a commonly discussed topic as an issue with the camera software on multiple Taycan Forums. See: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/backup-camera-quality-to-improve.6423/page-3#post-91894 The safety of persons standing to close to the vehicle may be impacted as the driver would think they are father away from the vehicle. Damage to property can occur by relying on the image and hitting an object that appears farther away than it is. I backed up into a garage pillar support which presented being farther away from the vehicle than it was causing US$2,500 to repair. The vehicle has not been inspected, this is a widely complained about issue among Taycan owners See the Taycan Forum https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/backup-camera-quality-to-improve.6423/page-3#post-91894

Crash: 1

I continuously get 2 messages when I start the car: "Rear Cross Traffic Alert Not Available" and "ParkAssist not available". The biggest problem is that when this happens, the rear camera does not work while in reverse. This has caused several near accidents for me. I took it back to the dealer twice, and they could not find out what the issue is, although they did experience it. I also have photographs of the messages.

Several times when driving (3) the vehicle loses all power and stops. Warning error messages are displayed on the dashboard screen ("Electrical system error") and "Engine Control Error" This is a dangerous situation, as the car suddenly just went dead on the middle of the highway. with cars having to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting my vehicle. The vehicle has been in the Porsche dealer once to have this issue rectified, but has happened again twice since that time.

Spontaneous shutdown of the vehicle while driving. Critical failure of motility while driving. Driving at 50km per hour extremely dangerous as car just shutdown and I had to try to roll off the road but it died so I had to put it in neutral and push it by hand on a busy road. Car has been at the dealer for 3 weeks now. The spontaneous shut occurred and a red light came on.

Dec 11, 2022

This has happened more than once now. I got in the car and as soon as it attempted to start up, I received the following error: “ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ERROR” I was not able to put the car in R or D. There was no other option to start the car. My car is 2 weeks old with less than 750 miles. Porsche has experienced a lot of these problems over the last 12+ months, yet this issue has not been resolved or acknowledged by Porsche. I am afraid for my safety because if this happens on the road or in traffic, there will be no way of moving this car out of the way.

The heating unit and defrosting unit fail on the Porsche Taycans. I have seen this in other Porsche Taycans and it is nearly impossible to see through the windshield when it fails. I had to cautiously limp it to a Porsche dealership due to not being able to see out of the front windshield. There were no warning lamps or messages displayed simply zero heat and the driver side and passenger side windshield areas immediately fog up and it is impossible for it to be reduced.

Cabin heater in the car failed during very cold temperatures. Making the windows fog up considerably. Limiting my trips to short distances until this problem can be fixed due the safety concern of the windows fogging during longer trips. No warnings to the failure, dealer is aware of this being a common issue on the Taycan.

On April 23, 2024, while decelerating gently at a traffic light, I heard a loud “thump” sound from the rear of my 2021 Porsche Taycan. Immediately, the vehicle lost access to the Reverse (R) and Park (P) gears. I was able to slowly coast into a nearby parking lot, but then all gear positions (Drive, Reverse, Neutral, Park) became completely unresponsive. The vehicle was immobilized and had to be towed. At the time of failure, the vehicle had just under 45,000 miles and had received routine maintenance and a recall inspection at a Porsche Center in March 2024. The factory warranty expired only one day earlier, on April 22. Porsche is refusing to cover repairs or provide a loaner vehicle, even though the failure clearly occurred at extremely low mileage and immediately after warranty expiration. The failure pattern matches the symptoms described in TSB #2209 (NHTSA ID: 10210797) for the 2022 Taycan, which identifies a known defect where the vehicle unexpectedly shifts from D or R into N or P without driver input. While my vehicle is a 2021 model, the behavior is nearly identical — sudden loss of drivability, unexpected gear disengagement, and major safety risk in traffic. This incident could have resulted in a serious accident had it happened in moving traffic. I am submitting this complaint in hopes that NHTSA will investigate whether this known transmission defect also affects 2021 Taycan models, and to ensure Porsche takes responsibility for latent safety defects, regardless of narrowly expired warranty status.

I was driving N/B 101 freeway w my wife at approx 70 mph. I felt the rear end slip ever so slightly and thought maybe I somehow lost traction w the road. I continued driving and it occurred twice more in the span of a few miles. I then realized it was unlikely I continued to lose traction with the road. I told my wife something felt wrong and began to maneuver from the #1 lane to the shoulder. I slowed to 50 mph and continued straight w my foot off the accelerator and the brake with both hands on the steering wheel in a straight (non turning) position. Suddenly, the rear end of the vehicle came out and we went into a massive spin. It ultimately caused us to crash into a median wall. I have been through many driver's courses. I have been through many skid pad trainings. I have also been through Precision Intervention Technique (PIT) training. I have been in both the receiving end of a PIT and the giving end of a PIT. The force of this spin was greater than any spin I have felt. It felt like one side or perhaps both rear wheels locked up. I have no other explanation that could cause any vehicle to just spin out of control while driving straight at 50 mph.

The Taycan offers what Porsche calls Porsche Innodrive (PID). PID once activated, the car uses navigation information and road signs to automatically adjust the vehicle's speed to the maximum speed limit of the road. In some locations, the vehicle abruptly reduces its speed because PID misreads a Truck Speed Limit sign, e.g.: the vehicle is moving at 65 mph, then it abruptly reduces the speed to 35 mph, which can cause another closely following vehicle to crash into the Taycan.
