Within a few days of a rain event, I start getting errors involving the lane keep assist, automatic, emergency, breaking, forward collision, warning system, lane departure assist, headlight control unit. God has been taken to the dealership three times in the last six months for this problem and it keeps coming back. This is a safety issue and I don’t feel comfortable taking the car out for a drive when it rains or within a few days after a rain event

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
Beginning around 45,000 miles, my 2022 Porsche Taycan began experiencing recurring failures in the surround view/backup camera system. One or more camera views will appear blank with a crossed-out camera icon. This affects the federally mandated rear backup camera as well as other viewing angles. The issue occurs intermittently but has become more frequent. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This defect puts my safety and others at risk by eliminating rear visibility when reversing, increasing the likelihood of hitting pedestrians (especially children), missing low obstacles, or colliding with vehicles in blind spots. Backup cameras are critical for preventing these incidents, particularly in driveways, parking lots, and tight urban spaces. The problem has been confirmed by Porsche Silver Spring in Maryland during a recall visit. They stated the repair is not covered and quoted approximately $20,000 to replace the system. The cameras are original equipment and have not been tampered with. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but the defect has been documented in photographs. There were no warning lamps prior to the first failure—only the blank camera screen and crossed-out icon when the failure occurs. Other Porsche Taycan owners have reported similar issues, suggesting this may be a broader design or component defect. I request NHTSA’s investigation to determine if this is a widespread safety defect requiring a recall or manufacturer-supported repair program.
NHTSA complaint #11680081 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
On two separate occasions under similar conditions, the vehicle initiated emergency braking due to a false collision warning. Both cases occurred at the same location. I was in the center lane facing into the afternoon sun waiting to turn left into a parking lot at a full stop. I was attempting to cross three lanes of traffic. When an opening occurred, I proceeded forward and began turning the wheel left as the traffic passed. I was not aggressive and waited an appropriate amount of time to begin the turn, well clear of the oncoming vehicles, which were traveling past at about 50 mph. The vehicle indicated a collision warning and slammed on the brakes. My daughter complained that her neck hurt from the sudden stop. I was fine, but it was jarring. The vehicle behind was able to stop in time as well, since I wasn't yet going fast, but both times was honked at (which I think demonstrates the degree to which it was an unexpected level of the braking). In both cases, the car returned to normal operation after the incident.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
The car showed the error from start. It did not show any signs of trouble before this incident. It seems to have happened to plenty others and for some, restarting the vehicle clears the faults. For me it has not cleared after 3 attempts over 6hrs. - The systems which showed malfunction were: 1. ParkAssist: sensors around the car which are used to emit series of beeping sounds when the vehicle approaches a near-by object 2. Rear Cross Traffic Alert: uses cameras and other sensors to detect if a vehicle is crossing behind the car and alerts the driver. - The car has rather limited rear visibility (very small rear window). Driving in reverse is severely compromised without the aid of these systems - The car has not been seen by the dealer(nor anyone else) yet. Appointment is in 2 weeks - Warnings did show up on the display. I've attached pictures of the instrument cluster with the errors.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
The back up camera in the Taycan is very difficult to use. The view is not clear and very distorted making it hard to judge distances.
