There are 2 owner-reported air bags & restraints complaints for the 2022 Porsche Taycanin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Complaint Summary: The passenger-side airbag sensor in my 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS has been malfunctioning continuously since I purchased the car as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Park Place Porsche Dallas. The car displays repeated warnings to “Contact your dealer for assistance,” and the passenger-side airbag has been confirmed as non-functional. Details of the Defect: Porsche has acknowledged that this issue is part of an official recall, but there is no repair available and no timeline for when one will be provided. I have had the vehicle in service multiple times (over three months cumulative downtime), yet the defect persists with no remedy offered. Porsche has informed me the vehicle is still “drivable,” but the passenger seat is unsafe to use, and there is potential systemic risk to the driver and other passengers given the nature of the defect. Safety Concern: The fact that the passenger-side airbag does not function makes the vehicle unsafe for occupants. Returning this vehicle to me without a remedy places me, my passengers, and the public at risk. Manufacturer Response: Porsche has refused to provide a fix, a replacement vehicle, or a buyback. They continue to return the vehicle to me in this unsafe condition, stating only that the car is “drivable.” Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Porsche’s handling of this recall, specifically: Why a known safety-critical defect has not been repaired for over two years. Why Porsche continues to return vehicles with disabled airbags to customers without remedy. What steps Porsche will be required to take to protect owners and ensure compliance with federal safety requirements. Owner Impact: I cannot safely use the front passenger seat of my car, and I have no assurance that other airbags will function correctly. This situation has caused significant inconvenience, financial loss, and safety risk to me and my family.
