Consumer Description
Polestar 2 has a series of software and hardware system failures where the dealership is not logging them asking customers that instead of leaving their car, they can take a look at it right now. The software team is then instructed to reload the 2.2 to 2.4 software as their system is not fully updating causing conflicting software packets leading to dangerous glitches. My specific PS2 has 2.3 software on it and the vehicle lane assistance package drove the car on two occasions into a bike lane. Prior to the the car had a complete system and safety failure where the car accelerated, changed lanes on the freeway to the fast last from the middle lane and then proceeded to flash hardware errors and software errors that disabled all of the safety systems from cameras, blind spot assistance, lane assistance, and more. The vehicle rapidly accelerated on it's own and changed lanes. Polestar took over 3 weeks to get a report that matches the onboard and OTA communications to order a replacement part. It happened again on the bike lane and the vehicle has been with Polestar for 4 months now as are other vehicles and it is happening to other 2022 PS2's with the lane assist and cruise control system (activated or not activated). https://patch.com/california/lakeforest-ca/tesla-crashes-garage-lake-forest-thursday This is very dangerous as when my situation occurred there was no one in the bike lane by the school nor the fast lane on the freeway (both very rare to be empty). The link above (while the link says tesla) it is a polestar of same features less seats and the driver interviewed said that their vehicle rapidly accelerated and changes lanes. Their auto-breaking system and accident avoidance did not stop the vehicle. Errors flashed on the screen and the system crashed. Polestar towed the vehicle and will has not yet provided other information. I have the VIN for that car after speaking to the other party
