The one pedal driving / regenerative braking would randomly deactivate. I have my car set on high one pedal driving. 99.9% of the time, the one pedal driving would work as expected with the car slowing down as the accelerator is released. However, the car would randomly deactivate one pedal driving, so when I release the accelerator, instead of slowing down or stopping, the car would continue going, some times it feels like there's even a slight surge. This has happened several times at slow par

Onboard AC charging has failed 3 times in 4 months. Each time the GHCA has been replaced with a new charger. When the GHCA shorts out it only impacts AC charging leaving everything else working normally. DC charging is not impacted and works normally. Each time the issue with the GHCA has been verified and confirmed by the Polestar service center in Princeton, NJ in September 2025, October 2025 & December 2025. When the issue occurs there is a loud pop and the AC charging message changes to

As reported on Polestar Forums, the car throws critical system errors telling you to park, call support, etc. while driving. These alerts are false... Usually you ignore them and they go away the next time you start the car. The issue is a safety issue...when you are driving and you get a critical alert (error message), it diverts your attention and you need to pull over. On the highway this is extremely dangerous. My last error was yesterday... it said "Stop Safely - Critical suspension

My vehicle has experienced repeated and unresolved software/firmware failures that cause loss of essential vehicle functionality and repeated vehicle immobilization. Since purchase, the vehicle has been taken out of service multiple times for software-related repairs, including firmware updates and system resets, yet the problems persist and the vehicle cannot be relied upon to operate normally. The failures are not cosmetic or infotainment-only; they affect core vehicle systems and overall ope

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 times. The Polestar service center did nothing other than reset the software and tell me the issue was not repeatable. Additionally, the Polestar 3 has consistently electrical issues. I've had doors

The malfunction I experienced involved the vehicle's electronic safety system, which caused the brake to apply suddenly and without my input. The service center was "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" the specific fault during their inspection and found "NO CODES STORED," noting that the problem was intermittent and not verifiable by the technician. The car is, however, available for inspection.   My safety and the safety of others were put at extreme risk because the car suddenly and unexpectedly applied
