2024 POLESTAR POLESTAR 2 Back Over Prevention Problems

Rear view camera suddenly stopped working. The same problem happened 3 weeks back and Polestat sent a software update that is supposed to fix the issue. Read view camera worked for sometime, but again it is not working. In fact, no camera is working in this vehicle.

The manafactuer distributed a software update to correct issues regarding reverse camera settings. This update has not corrected the issue in my polestar and, in fact, has caused many other disturbances forcing me to seek service at a the closest dealership. When reversing, it will activate the emergency stop function, which has caused much anxiety and stress because not only are the parking sensors nonfunctional, but the thought of the emergency breaks being activated without threat or my regard again is distressing and misleading.

360 degree view and backup camera stutters/not available after starting vehicle. Occurred after recall software update that was supposed to address this.

Backup camera starts flashing black while backing up and sometimes doesn't turn on while backing up

Back up camera repeatedly blanks out. Sometimes will not start. Sometimes stops working in the middle of when I'm backing up. Also Rear auto braking is too sensitive and will often slam the emergency brakes for no reason.

Backup and 360 camera fails intermittently

I would go into reverse and the camera would appear but then disappear as I’m backing up. No more blinking or telling me I am about to crash. Even 3D camera doesn’t work. Drivetrain feels very strange since last OTA update. Making weird noises when driving. Battery sounds like it’s screaming. Something is really wrong.

The rear camera does not always engage when the car is put into reverse. The car was just recalled for it, of which I just received a notice and the update (3.6.4), and it has not fixed the issue; it has only gotten worse.

Back up camera does not always work. Says "camera not available" even after the most recent software update.

Backup camera regularly fails to respond in time when powering on the car. Sometimes takes numerous times to enter in and out of reverse. Sometimes the rear view backup camera reverts to overhead 360 camera view without intervention, making it difficult to see in the rear. Polestar has made updates to the software via OTA updates that have tried to address this by reducing memory use during car boot up, but it’s very clear that the head units in polestar 2s up until at least my model year MY24 are severely underpowered and unable to properly switch contexts in an appropriate amount of time. As a result of this the rear cross traffic alert is also frequently delayed and therefore essentially useless as a feature. And finally I’ve also had numerous false auto braking on slanted surfaces, jolting myself and other passengers in the vehicle unexpectedly.

The contact leased a 2024 Polestar Polestar 2. The contact stated that upon placing the vehicle in reverse(R) at night, the lighting for the back over prevention feature was inadequate. The contact stated that the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the issue but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle was unsafe due to the limited visibility from the back over protection lighting. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

Mileage: 1,000

My electric system tied to the center console tablet stopped working. There was no active camera, lane assist warnings, music, maps/gps, etc. Nothing worked with no explanation. It felt very dangerous to drive without the electric safety system since this car has bad visibility. Volvo / Polestar denies that there is a problem and said they would fix it with "over the air" updates.
