What owners report
I was driving south on the Palisades Interstate Parkway and started to exit at Exit 9E when the automatic emergency brake engaged and the seat belt tensioners engaged. There were no vehicles in front of me or very close to me. The stop was jarring. There was no apparent reason for this to happen.
Since taking delivery of the vehicle, multiple electronic and computer-related systems have failed or malfunctioned.

Unable to access brand new vehicle for several days. Would not respond to any keys (including the app). First tow company didn't have proper equipment.

Tow truck driver was able to get doors to open after jumping the 12v battery (which others have reported problems on). Upon starting vehicle, received electric system warning. Recommended to tow to nearest dealership.
On-Board Charger not working on L2 charge
I am submitting a complaint regarding my Polestar 3, which is subject to two open NHTSA safety recalls: 26V-037 and 25V-555. I attempted to have these recalls addressed on March 7, 2026, at Volvo Manhattan (an authorized Polestar service provider). Upon arrival, I was informed that no qualified Polestar technicians were available to service my vehicle, and I was told I would receive a follow-up call. No follow-up occurred. On April 30, 2026, I contacted the Polestar service desk at Volvo Manhattan again. I was informed that they currently have only two Polestar technicians, that they are unable to schedule a service appointment, and that no timeline can be provided for when recall service
