NHTSA Complaint #11478622 — 2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN

While the vehicle is in both Drive and reverse, the car randomly will shift itself into either neutral or park without warning. The first event occurred while in reverse and actively moving, the car shifted into neutral on its own. No warning lights or messages appeared. The following 2 incidents, while driving on city streets, at a stop sign in one instance and at a stop light in the other, the car shifted into park within seconds of the vehicle coming to a stop. Also, no warning lights or messages occurred. I have contacted my local Porsche dealer to see if there was any service bulletins or a know fix, and was informed that by the service advisor, that she believes this is normal operation because she has heard of it happening. This situation has been dangerous each time it has happened, as I was in traffic, and unaware that my vehicle no longer in gear until I tried to accelerate, and my car was unresponsive. I can’t imagine how your vehicle not being in the gear you put it in, is not a safety concern. I also fear that the vehicle may go into park while at highway speeds, and be catastrophic.
