There were multiple cases while driving at speed where the driver's display unexpectedly and without warning turned off. I was not able to see the car's speed or gearing until the next time the car was reset.

I have had multiple issues with my Polestar 3. Most notably, the vehicle lost all propulsion at highway speeds. My safety was heavily jeopardized as I had to merge across multiple lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. On the day of the incident, the car's propulsion stopped working 4 separate t...

The Polestar 3 failed while driving with my family on 8/16/25. It had a propulsion failure (with "turtle mode") and it would only go 6 mph or less and would not go up a hill.

Car does not AC charge

Car does not AC charge

AC Charging Fail. Unable to use home charger to charge car even after polestar took car in to replace OBC.

Vehicle has had onboard charger failure twice

Charging on AC power failed. Needed to replace GHCA at dealer, and happened two more times, so 3 trips to the dealer to get a new charging component. Lack of charge left us stranded.

AC charging fails rendering the vehicle unusable when only having access to level 1 and level 2 EV chargers. The onboard charger has been replaced by the Polestar dealer twice. They replaced it once, and it failed to rectify the issue at the dealer; so they replaced it again. After a month of downt...

AC charger unexpectedly fails and replacement parts take 3-4 weeks to obtain. Lack of AC charging could strand a driver in an area where no DC chargers are available.
