  The office of defects investigation (odi) has received nine complaints from vehicle owners and a few tread (transportation recall enhancement, accountability and documentation) field reports alleging a loss of motive power while in motion at any speed without warning to the driver. The complaints and reports involve model year (my) 2020 – 2021 porsche taycan vehicles. The taycan is an 800-volt battery electric vehicle with an auxiliary 12v battery. A loss of charge in the 12v battery may deactivate the entire electrical system and prevent the vehicle from operation.

Six complaints allege an inability to restart the vehicle once they lose motive power. Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to determine the scope and severity of the potential problem as well as fully assess the potential safety-related issues related to a loss of motive power for the my 2020-2021 porsche taycan.The odi reports cited above are available for review online at nhtsa.Gov under the following identification numbers: 11415110 11414731 11414486 11404336 11386164 11383427 11377898 11377875 11364083

Sudden power loss while driving. Pulled over to the side and the car shut down with the message "engine control error"

My car suddenly popped up this error message "engine control error". I could still steer and use the brakes, but the accelerator would not work. I had to coast to a stop, put in park, and restart. I called the dealer and they said this will be part of a recall but they had no fix yet. I'm not sure if this part of the battery power-loss recall or not.

Sudden and unexpected complete loss of power while vehicle was at highway speed. Could not accelerate. Red warning light appeared stating engine control error. Car glided to a complete stop and i attempted to pull over to the shoulder of the highway. Brought the vehicle to the dealer and they stated there was a recent service bulletin to update software.

Complete battery failure. Luckily occurred in a safe location and while parked.

Car completely shut down in an intersection, lost all power and would not move, error read: motor control error stop vehicle in a safe place. Prior to shutting down the vehicle jerked and slammed on the brakes in a busy intersection.

Sudden electrical failure. Two times the car has had sudden unexpected power loss. In particular the forward motion of the stopped suddenly, fortunately i was at low speed <20 mph. Both times electrical error message was noted on the driver's center screen. I was able to turn the car off and then attempted several times to turn it back on, eventually the car started. In my opinion there are no precipitating factors. Also fortunately there were no other cars behind me, otherwise i am sure an accident would have happened.

My complaint is that the car will not move. I get in the car to drive and the car displays the following message, “ electrical system error. Stop vehicle in a safe place.” this has happened on numerous occasions(at least 7) since i received the car on february 10, 2021. Mind you i work from home so i don’t drive it but once a week. I am quite fortunate that thus far it has only happened in my garage. I took the car to the local porsche dealership for a software update but that was not the solution. It occurred again after the update. I thought maybe it had something to do with the car charger because it usually occurred a couple days after charging the car but i haven’t charged it in over 2 weeks.

My husband and i were driving our car last night and our car suddenly displayed an error code and shutdown. This has happenned a few weeks ago andbthe dealer could not find the issue. We took a picture of the error code, pulled over and restarted the car. This is very concerning because it doesnt give you more than a few secs after the error code that the car just dies. Again we were in a position to pull over on the freeway but if we had been in the middle lane this could have been a very different outcome. We have contacted the dealer to troubleshoot again.

Total electrical shutdown of the drivability of the car. The car in driving traffic came to a sudden stop and doors were lock and would not start until we tried 3 times. A truck behind us had to come to a quick sudden stop to avoid hitting us in the rear of the car! The car was taken to porsche south bay for understanding the cause of the problem the manufacture was alerted ,porsche customer care and a case filed. Porsche service was suppose to report their findings to customer care in reference to case file number. They asked me to also bring in the porsche charging unit to be re-flashed on software in the unit. I have had the car in multiple times for pcm related issues and software updates, during the most recent update they had to replace the entire pcm with a new one. The car was running fine then, then this issue happened. Porsche is continually having issues with this car all related to the pcm, it appear that the car is unsafe and my wife refuses to be in the car. I asked porsche if they were aware of this problem and they said yes. I asked porsche for them to look at this car as a lemon law car, they call this a buy back program. I am still waiting to be told what is next. Porsche is saying the car is safe and has had no accidents, but they know that this car could cause an accident when shutting down with no notice. How is that considered safe? No message appeared till after the car shutdown.
