Description:
I leased a 2025 Polestar 3 in February 2025. Within days, I began to experience serious discomfort. It started with a sensation of inner-ear pressure. It got worse the more time I spent in the vehicle and soon escalated to headaches, dizziness, and nausea. The vehicle is undrivable for me now, and, worse, the sensation of pressure hasn’t completely gone away even though I haven’t driven the vehicle in weeks. The problem seems to stem from the vehicle’s active noise cancellation (ANC) system. I notified Polestar Corporate of the issue on approximately February 26, 2025. On March 13, 2025, a Polestar repair shop attempted to disable the ANC with a software update. After this didn’t fix the issue, Polestar suggested on March 27, 2025, that I try driving with the windows closed. This also didn’t resolve the issue, and Polestar since has failed to suggest another fix, articulate a plan, identify a timeline, or even let me speak to someone who can make decisions about the matter. Meanwhile, although my case may be extreme, I’m certainly not the only person who’s experienced discomfort in the Polestar 3. Even though it’s a new model, a forum post suggested other have had issues with the ANC. In addition, one of the Polestar customer service representatives with whom I spoke mentioned that her household has a Polestar 3 and that she avoids it because it bothers her as well.
