21 owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the 2023 Porsche Taycan.

Steering; Electrical System; Fuel/Propulsion System

ODI #11771935

Incident: October 16, 2026 · Filed: October 18, 2026

The car is an electric car. I was driving on the highway and the car shut down completely leaving me without power steering, engine control error, electrical system error. I had to glide to the shoulder of the highway. Luckily traffic was light enough that I was able to get over on the highway and avoid getting hit by other vehicles. I could not open the doors and was locked in the car. I waited, restarted the car and got off the highway. The car shut down two more times while I tried to get off the highway.

Steering

ODI #11764932

Incident: September 17, 2026 · Filed: September 17, 2026

There is a red ring that comes up on left side of dashboard that has text inside it that says "Keep hands on steering wheel." It removes acceleration of the car and stiffens the steering wheel until you jerk the wheel and get it to turn off. It is very distracting and happens suddenly. I drive on XXX in the [XXX] suburbs, it is a very straight highway with a lot of congestion. This "safety" feature is going to get me killed. People are tailgating, swerving, driving like lunatics during rush hour. The last thing I need is my car distracting me because it doesn't sense pressure on the wheel or whatever input it is looking for. I'm driving in traffic going straight on a dead straight and perfectly paved road. I don't understand how it is legal an OEM can program the car to remove acceleration due to a steering wheel input. This should be reserved for more safety critical sensors such as collision or blind spot. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Service Brakes; Forward Collision Avoidance

ODI #11736999

Incident: May 11, 2026 · Filed: May 11, 2026

When the forward collision warning activates, the braking pedal loses its effectiveness and causes the car to brake much more slowly than it should, which actually increases the chance of a collision occurring. This has happened multiple times to me in the past few weeks. It is a very dangerous problem.

Electrical System; Engine

ODI #11727627

Incident: March 20, 2026 · Filed: March 28, 2026

On March 21, 2026 my Taycan motor wire disconnected from the battery during routine city driving The car was In the Middle lane of [XXX] waiting to turn left onto [XXX] A warning light said Car not drivable , pull over But the car was not functional. Police needed to block [XXX] to allow the car in neutral to slide downhill to A safe location This is the second time this car with undercar exposed wires has had a wire disconnect and disabled driving Clearly some kind of under car wire protection is not properly installed or present INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Electrical System; Fuel/Propulsion System

ODI #11727286

Incident: February 22, 2026 · Filed: March 26, 2026

While charging my 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S at an Electrify America station, white smoke began emitting from the front wheel/charging port area. The vehicle also produced a burning odor inside the cabin. I immediately stopped charging and unplugged the vehicle. The smoke ceased within approximately 1–2 minutes. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Porsche dealership. Initial explanation from the dealer was steam from when radiators heats-up, which is inconsistent with the conditions and prior use history. Upon further inspection, the dealership identified battery-related issues. Ultimately, I was told that 8 out of 10 battery cells were replaced. The vehicle was out of service for approximately one month. The dealership stated that the battery cell issue was not related to the smoke event, which is concerning given the timing and severity of the incident. This vehicle had previously been subject to a battery-related recall addressed via software update only. I believe there is also ongoing litigation related to battery safety in this model. Given the smoke event, burning odor, and significant battery component replacement, I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle, particularly risk of thermal event or fire during charging. Note, I have a video of the smoke when car was charging, not able to upload video here
