The Porsche EV Charger started an electrical fire in the wall of my garage while charging on May 21st 2024. The charger melted as a result. On the way to take my car to the dealership the dash became very hot to the touch as well. Fast forward to today, my car is still at the dealership. They have contacted me and asked me to pick it up and return my loaner car. They cannot however provide me with a new charger for my car. Porsche has sent out new chargers as part of this recall but they don't have the software in place so the chargers are useless right now. Porsche will give $500 toward the purchase of a 3rd party charger but they told me that they will not accept any responsibility if the third party charger damages my vehicle in any way and they acknowledge that using the suggested 3rd party charger may void my vehicle warranty. They refuse to provide me with a loaner car until my car can safely be charged with a Porsche charger that wouldn't void my current warranty.

Porsche sent a "Important Safety Recall" notice to me dated January 22, 2023 about their defective power cable for the mobile charger for my Taycan. This notice promises that Porsche will replace the cable with an updated version "at a later date." It is now May 10, 2024 which certainly qualifies as a "later date" and there has been no further information much less delivery of an updated charger cable. Please have them make good on this promise!

The cabin heater failed, so the windows mist up in the winter. Known problem for years, but it's not an active preemptive recall.

I was backing my Porsche out of my garage with my foot on the brake. The car backed slowly as expected for a few seconds, then flashed a red display on the dashboard (see attachment) warning of an electric system error. It immediately self-accelerated in reverse at a high rate of speed across the street. The brakes did not work. Within 4-5 seconds it hit my neighbor's house and crashed into a room. I was trapped in the car and had to have the fire department get me out. The video police downloaded from the camera over my garage confirmed my account to them (as written above). I can provide the video if you would like to have it. A DMV examiner told me that about a year prior, around June 2022 an exactly similar accident was referred to him involving a Porsche Taycan accelerating out of control in reverse (see attachment).

The heating system in my 2022 Porsche Taycan stopped working. In addition to it not being able to heat the cabin, I can't defog/defrost the windshield making the car unsafe to drive. I'm told by the Porsche dealer that this is a known issue, and the fix involves ordering a part from Germany with unknown ETA.

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

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

Rear camera view is distorted when backing up. Unable to safely see behind you when driving.

Vehicle erratically switches to Park unintentionally. This is an intermittent issue but does occur several times during a drive, pretty much daily. Porsche service couldn't find source of issue, said it was a known issue, but had no fix for it.
