Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2025 Polestar Polestar 3 dominate in one area — the electrical system, 32 of 78 reports (41%), well ahead of the next concern. That matters, because the electrical system are also the target of recall 24V-940 on this vehicle — so the single most useful check before buying or servicing one is confirming it was actually performed. 4 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
