11 days of "spectator support" for a recurring safety fault - Case # 01981151
I am currently on the third repair attempt for a recurring water ingress issue on a 2024 Polestar 2. Since 5th February, I have asked for support and a single point of contact to oversee the liaison with the dealership.
Instead of support, I have received a single, meaningless email from 'Jon' that confirmed Polestar is aware of the issue but expects me to continue acting as the 'broker' between them and the service center. I am currently managing technical logistics, insurance decisions, and battery health concerns for a warranty repair that Polestar should be leading.
Case # 01981151 has been open for nearly two weeks. I am looking for a manager to take actual ownership of this today. The lack of service is unacceptable for a premium brand.

Don’t expect any help from Polestar
Polestar Assistance attended my Polestar 2 for multiple faults, was contacted by despatch manager who informed that no technicians available and offered to send one in the morning or they could recover the car this evening and supply a hire car. As I’m on a course for work I opted to have the car recovered and the hire car provided.
It’s now 10pm at night, car has been recovered and no call back to arrange a hire car. Thanks Polestar for leaving in a real mess of a position!!!!
I’ve now got to book a taxi to get to the middle of no where in the morning and back home because after finally getting through the Polestar Assistance I’ve been told no one contacted the hire car company and it’s too late now!
With the issues the car is having and the utter lack of support definitely think it’s time to consider the options to leave Polestar behind and head back to the BMW showroom!!

Wish I could give zero stars - review number 2
I posted a review here on 12th January 2026 entitled 'wish I could give zero stars' following collection of my Polestar 2 by Polestar on 9th January 2026. My review summarised 4 years of painful ownership.
I exchanged emails with Polestar in November 2025 confirming that I would not be keeping the car which they confirmed advising that they would update their records accordingly and arrange collection. The agreement was settled in full in December 2025.
On 1st February 2026 I received a letter from Polestar stating that my final balloon payment was due 26th February 2026 and to make sure I had funds in my account to cover the payment!!
I replied demanding they update their records accurately and demanding an immediate apology for yet another mistake. I sent the email to their UK MD, CEO and the department who sent the letter in error. I've not received a reply. They do, however, seem to respond to these reviews.
What a Mickey Mouse outfit.

You will have received this communication directly from your leasing company. Sadly, we can't access their systems to be able to see why this was generated incorrectly. We have passed your complaint across and flagged this to them for you as well. We are sorry that you are still chasing a response from them.

Glad it’s a lease car so I can get rid of it - UPDATED
Thankfully, my Polestar 2 is on a lease, so I can get rid of it in 18 months. Technical problem with car moving forwards without accelerator being pressed - seriously! (Recovery bloke said mine wasn’t the first Polestar he’d seen with this). It needed a ‘software update’ to sort it according to garage! Also, car continually fogging up inside. I’m now a year and three garage trips down the line and it’s not yet fixed. Getting a garage appointment is approximately 4 - 6 weeks to book. I’m driving a £55k car where the ventilation is worse than the 1980 Ford Cortina I used to own. I put a message to Polestar to ask for a temporary loan car (I’m winding windows down to be able to see). No response for two weeks, then a request for my address (which I gave straightaway) - and then silence in response from them. Tyre pressure sensor and boot light are now faulty, but I would need to book for them weeks ahead and take yet another day off work. The lack of garage availability means I’m just ignoring it, checking with a pressure gauge and using phone torch. So, a nice enough car to drive, but significant faults and absolutely lacking in garage availability means I’m not going to lease another one and I’ll be glad to get rid of this one.
Updated following reply from Polestar on 4th Feb
Hi Aidan
Thanks for your response. Ironically, the car is in the garage today. My original customer service ticket was on 7th January. Disappointing that a customer service request gets nothing in a month aside from a request for my address, whilst a Trustpilot review gets a response in a few days. Looks similar to other people’s experiences.
If the fogging issue isn’t fixed today I’ll probably end up having to take your courtesy car offer (which presumably I’ll end up paying a daily insurance waiver on), but the tyre pressure and boot light issues I’m going to live with. Appreciate that this isn’t your issue, but feedback (as a customer) is that Polestar should put more resource into direct customer service, and less into responding to public reviews.
Thanks again for response though, and like I say, I appreciate that this isn’t your issue, it’s Polestar’s, as a company.

Shocking reliability Polestar 3
Took delivery of our Polestar 3 in Sept. Super excited as first electric car but that’s when the problems started, day one! Firstly alarm kept going off randomly, not helpful at 3am and neighbourhood equally unhappy. Also noticed that we were unable to engage Pilot Assist and many of safety systems not working. Vehicle recovered to garage but not easy dealing with 4+ companies inc recovery and Volvo dealership.
Vehicle returned fixed. Or so we were told but alarm went off within 2 hours! Pilot assist working though. Had an email from Polestar support asking if all ok, replied no but never heard back despite numerous reminders!
Shortly after the onboard charging unit failed for the first time. Vehicle recovered and back to garage to be fixed. Alarm still going off unless we changed the sensitivity setting every time we left the vehicle. Vehicle returned but within weeks charging unit on car failed again. If you look online both charging unit and alarm failure are well known issues which it would appear Polestar have no fix for other than fit another faulty part!
Vehicle has been in garage for c2 months as parts not available. On the basis the vehicle isn’t fit for purpose, let alone supposed to be a luxury SUV at £85k(!) we’re rejecting the vehicle. Such a shame as vehicle is great when it works, let down by shocking reliability and very poor customer service.

Disgraceful and dismissive customer service – Polestar Wilmslow
Updated: they claimed I gave the wrong email address, but the staff took my phone and sent himself an email from my account to his phone. So he had the right email address . So this excuse is not acceptable .
I visited the Polestar showroom in Wilmslow to look at the car and discuss changing my current vehicle, as mine is now 3 years old. I was polite, clear about my interest, and genuinely considering a purchase.
The salesperson couldn’t have been less interested. He didn’t bother to explain the car, show me the car, didn’t discuss options, didn’t look up prices, and acted as if I was an inconvenience for simply being there. I felt completely dismissed and judged.
This was by far the worst dealership experience I’ve had. Other brands treated me with respect and enthusiasm. Polestar Wilmslow clearly does not care about customers.
After I pushed for information, he took my email and said he would contact me the next day. He never did. I left the showroom without any basic attention, answers, or professionalism, despite being polite throughout.
This was by far the worst dealership experience I’ve had. Other brands treated me with respect and enthusiasm. Polestar Wilmslow clearly does not care about customers.
I will never return, and I’ll happily take my money elsewhere.

Unfair Charges!
After owning a new Polestar 4 since September, a week ago all the rear lights failed. After a call out from Polestar assist I was informed the car would not be recovered but to drive it to North Wedt London Garage. A courtesy car was provided only if I took an insurance with £1,000.00 excess, regardless whether it was windscreen, tyre, etc. Or I can take out an insurance for £50 excess at £15 a day. Car was looked at 5 days later and fixed under warranty (total 7 days) I do not understand why I should be expected to pay for use of a courtesy car when it was the fault of Polestar?? I have never paid for courtesy cars with previous cars, especially one that’s only 4 months old!!

Hello Julie,
Thank you for reaching out to us to provide feedback of your experience when taking your Polestar into Volvo Cars North West London. We do apologise for the undue frustration that has been caused by the courtesy car cover.
As you have mentioned within your review, the insurance cover for courtesy vehicles at any Service Point comes with some option extras depending on the car and the service point in question. The optional cost of £15 a day mentioned here is to reduce the excess cost for the insurance. This is an optional choice and is not a mandatory payment for a courtesy vehicle, and the loan of the car itself comes with no charge. As the manufacturer, we do sadly have little impact over these options offered by third parties and any Volvo service centres.
We do apologise that you feel the insurance excess is too high in the case of damage to the vehicle. Insurance excess for courtesy vehicles is a common practice for many hire car providers, however, please rest assured that the option to reduce this was not a mandatory cost.
We do hope that we can help improve your sentiment regarding Polestar and our level of service in the coming months.
Kind regards,
Aidan
