Owner complaint summary

On 9/18/2025, while driving at approximately 45 mph on a busy road called Hualapai in Las Vegas, Nevada, my Porsche Taycan suddenly displayed “Electrical system error – Park vehicle in a safe place”. The car immediately slammed to a stop in live traffic. I heard a loud thump from the front end as this occurred. I was nearly hit by six cars swerving to avoid me in the rain. Gladly no one made contact and no one was hurt. My car turned into a brick in the middle lane with lots of traffic sort of like I brake checked them all. I lost all steering as it locked up, I couldn't get out of fast moving traffic as the car wouldn't go back into drive and had to toggle to neutral and push the car. This was a life-threatening failure that created a dangerous hazard for me and other drivers.
