My parking sensor warning light is starting to randomly turn itself off and on and come on more frequently. I may need to get this checked out before it gets worse.

 

Is there a common reason for the water ingress? Hard rain, car wash type or frequency? Not that any of these should trigger it…

 

Did you all compare VINs for their build location to determine a potential pattern? You can also check the driver’s door jamb for manufacture date I believe.

 

I suspect this is what is happening with mine. I started getting park assist failure warnings last week although I don't see any evidence of plastic melting on the front panel...but it's probably time for a flatbed ride to Austin...

 

VIN: YSMYKEAE3RB001525

So production location code B China, Chengdu

I only have the parking sensor issue so far.

I’ll try to check for visual damage later this morning and report back.

 

VIN: YSMYKEAE3RB001640 China, Chengdu too

 

I would also check and share the manufacture date sticker on the drivers door. Based on how similar your VINs are they were most likely on the same assembly line around the same time. You may be able to tie it to a specific timing window which could help Polestar with a recall (and help others in the forum be proactive about going to Polestar before theirs gets worse.)

 

Makes sense

i am traveling this week will report when back.

 

I have issues with parking sensor and they finally found the cause: corrosion in front wiring harness. Strange thing is that I have had this issue on and off since taking delivery in sept. 24.

Currently waiting for parts, which are on back order with unconfirmed delivery date 🙁

I am unable to find my manufacturing date, but vin is pretty close to those already listed here

 

Update: my parts are available next week and fix is scheduled for then. This is in Denmark.

 

Were any of you able to find your manufacture date?

 

No, I could not see an obvious manufacturer date on my driver-side (RHD).

 

Same issue here identified when I took in the car for a software update (see my other comments).

Car's been in for over a week now, but currently waiting to see what their approach is going to be - the technician was prepared to do a replacement job on all the corroded pins (which are due to arrive this week) but now he's been told to wait by Polestar to see whether they're going to try something else?

Ultimately he thinks either it'll be a simple replacement job followed by a recall for a more permanent fix, or he'll have to keep hold of it until Polestar tell him what else to do.

Not great really - pretty frustrating as I'm paying for a lease that I'm unable to use - on the plus side the lease company sorted out a hire pretty effortlessly.

 

Well I am still scheduled for part replacement on the 20th but let's see what's going to happen on or near the day.

 

I wonder if this is why a bunch of deliveries just got delayed…lots of folks whose handoff was immanent received an email that the deliveries are on a hold for 2-4 weeks 🤔

 

Either this or the maybe the new OBC/GHCA to fix the AC charging issues that some folks seem to be having?

 

Based on the VINs this is probably an issue with the early production cars in Chengdu. My VIN is YSMYKEEE7RB001098, and has the Polestar logo on the roof.

 

I’m wondering the same thing. All VINs posted have “R” in the 10th positioning, denoting model year 2024.

 

Thanks all for sharing. My pickup is scheduled for this month and my VIN ends in the 1500s (serial number) which is in line with a few posted in this thread, but mine doesn’t start with “YSMYKE” 🤔 I’m not an expert on VINs and all the explanations online are slightly different =\ At any rate, I’ll let you all know how it goes once I’ve had mine for a little while! How long were you in possession before the parking sensors started acting up?

 

Early build VIN, probably starts with YSREA3YB

 

Unfortunately I also have water damage in my smart zone front area and it looks identical to the damage posted. I'm from Ontario Canada and waiting to hear back from the service center on a fix since last week.

Sorta related but I'm also getting intermittent suspension failure errors. Got it fixed last week by service who said it was due to large amounts of dirt/debris/ sand in the suspension (I imagine from all the snow melt etc sand/salt droppings)

The suspension which normally feels like driving on a cloud, instead felt like I was constantly driving over rumble strips.

Now the warmer weather is here and the water damage shows up and I've had the suspension error come back again after just washing it. It's a lovely car to drive but I don't want to have to service my car everytime some dirt gets into the wheel wells or water knocks out the sensors. I love the car and have over 11,000 km since taking delivery late November

 

No obvious sign of water damage in my smart zone. No obvious production date on door sticker (Europe, Denmark)

I am still scheduled for wirering replacement this week fingers crossed.

 

I may have gotten the location of the label wrong 😅 Read it somewhere on Reddit, but it may be on the passenger side on the B pillar (“1” in the picture). If not there, I give up haha.

 

Here’s the sticker from location 1. I don’t see any obvious date coding but have at it!

 

Hmm, that said location 1 on my car doesn't exactly match the location on the graphic. I mean, it's the passenger pillar and there's a sticker but it's not placed in the same spot and orientation as expected.

 

Thank you for being a trooper and checking 🫶🏽 I can’t decipher but I’d hoped it would be more obvious. My handover is scheduled for this Friday so I’ll ask. I also just texted my salesperson to see if the service center can pre-inspect for water ingress. I’m supposed to go there tomorrow morning to give ‘em my money so I’ll bring it up then as well. “I’d love to sign these forms and pay you but can you first tell me if there’s water damage on this $93k car? Thanks so much…”

 

Update:

The wiring corrosion extends further into the car, there's a big issue.

They're requesting parts from p*/Volvo but neither of them will give any form of estimate - apparently the parts need to be hand made????

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a massive recall kicks off - the fella from Volvo made it sound like they're aware of this issue spreading.

Water sealing a car in 2025 - apparently it's a tough job... 🫠

 

YSM, is that a polestar 2 with the same issue? That VIN isn't lining up with P3s

Other than 2024 + Chengdu assembly.

@Dixyburger is there any way look at the wires to see if corrosion is starting or water is getting into <insert area here> ?

 

Hm. Think I am seeing early problems with this. Went to a car wash and did a brushless (power wash only), on the way out I got a christmas tree of sensor warnings. It cleared after a few days (when I guess it dried out).
