There are 4 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2024 Polestar Polestar 2in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
On a high humidity evening all of the windows fogged up but the climate system was completely unavailable to use. All of the buttons were “greyed out” and I could not operate the front or rear defroster. As a result, I had zero visibility a few moments after I started driving. I immediately had to pull over and look up how to reset the computer system that controls most of the car’s functions, which took several minutes to figure out. There should never be a situation where you cannot turn on the defroster because of a software glitch.
Intermittent issue where the rear view backup camera does not appear on screen. I receive a message of "camera temporarily unavailable." Even when shifting to another gear then back to Reverse, the camera will still not work and the same message will appear. I have the latest software update that was supposed to address this already-recalled issue (verison 3.6.4).
the mirrors on the car sometimes dont tilt back up when chnaging gears from reverse to drive , leading to limited visibility
In the dark, when shifting into reverse, the backup camera is unreasonably dark and driver cannot see surroundings if there is no external lighting.
