Description:
The rear view camera in the car will say that it is unavailable about 30% of the time. The center screen just displays ‘Camera unavailable’ despite it being a legal requirement for it to work. This is a constantly recurring issue, not a one off instance, the car also stops all cross traffic alerts due to the error, I have also had instances where the rearview camera will show up but it is completely frozen and the video ds not move. I reported this to my Polestar service center as I am still under warranty and was told that this was normal. I would like to call on nhtsa to do a proper investigation of this, the issue ds not happen every time however it happens enough for it to be a danger to everyone around you. I can’t trust my rear view camera as sometimes when I start moving the camera will freeze, this leaves me looking at the screen with the car moving and the camera frozen, essentially forcing me to back up COMPLETELY BLIND. The rearview camera in that car ds not work, in fact it is a HAZARD as it is so unreliable and prone to freezing. It is a direct violation of 49 CFR ยง 571.111. This issue has been documented extensively on the forums, updates only make it works and Polestar ds not care about the safety of it’s own customers.
