As of today, the NHTSA complaint number is 32, and almost all of them came in the last month or so. Even if it's for all 6500, the percentage is about 0.5%, and if it's for newer models only, then the percentage might be crazy. That's why I cancelled mine. The chance for the new 2021s is really high IMO.
It is actually 34 (25 for 2020 + 9 for 2021, and 1 more not related to power loss). Their site has a caching bug and it shows the previous day's number on the top card but if you scroll down you see the correct number.
no nhtsa complaint for RWD, but I saw a couple of posts about the same error on RWD in this forum site. RWD came to US very recently, so it may take some time to see if it's immune, which I highly doubt.
I have seen reports in this forum for all models including 4S, Turbo, Turbo S and recently one RWD
nothing listed on the NHTSA site for RWD yet and have not seen any reports of it here. Less of them out in the wild so far I think, though
@kreshi said his friend had it happen to him on his RWD.
I agree with commenters who see a higher number of complaints, clustered recently. I was only looking at MY2021 (9 complaints). I haven’t looked at every complaint listed, but a given complaint dealing with the power issue is repeatedly listed for all models. You can tell the complaint is the same by looking at the complaint number at the top of each complaint. So the 34 number - and recent - is on target. Does this surge of complaints in the last month or so suggest that the problem is software related, assuming different mileage and usage scenarios? If so, then why isn’t *every* car that received the software fix suffering the same problem? Perhaps a *two* factor event? Porsche needs to tell us what they are findng and doing about it. Does the computer on the car not create a *log* when the computer crashes that would aid in running down the problem? To fnd this stuff: www.nhtsa.gov -> Recalls -> models
