Electric passenger compartment heater (high-voltage heater) Does not work. This prevents the cabin from receiving heat. This is extremely unsafe in cold environments because it prevents the windshield visibility as frost forms.

Electrical System Failure and Engine Failure. Car just stopped in the middle of the road at the traffic light and would not move forward. This has happened for the second time since the purchase of the car in December 2022. The car is now at the dealer being checked.

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

I was driving at high speed on the freeway when, suddenly and without warning, the vehicle lost all power. A message reading “Electrical System Error Park Vehicle in a Safe Place”. I was able to glide across five lanes in rush hour traffic to the breakdown lane.

Heater is not working. Causing dangerous conditions with windows fogging up.

Vehicle heat all of sudden not working. Thus, unable to operate vehicle due to condensation on windows limiting visibility, in addition to cold cabin air. Car dropped off at Porsche dealer, and they confirmed no part availability to fix this widespread issue with Taycans.

The car shifted from drive to park twice within a 10 minute drive unexpectedly. Both times occurred while driving under 5 mph and stopped at a traffic light. This is a brand new car with less than 2000 mi on it.

Multiple times, after coming to a full stop, the car has silently shifted from D to N or P. I often only notice once I want to drive off again, and am unable to. It happened the first time after only around 100 miles, now with over 3500 miles on the car it still happens from time to time.

At low speeds the vehicle removed itself from drive D and shifted into neutral N. The vehicle started jerking forward and back while still moving. Once I put it back in drive it went away. No one was behind me so no accident resulted.

Over the past 5 months, approx 6-7 episodes of car putting itself into park or neutral or 'hold' while stopped at traffic light. No loss of power while accelerator engaged.

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.

On 3 separate occasions while at a stop light the car shifted itself into neutral from drive. It’s very unsettling and unsafe. This is a brand new 2022 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.

The back up camera in the Taycan is very difficult to use. The view is not clear and very distorted making it hard to judge distances.
