近日，俄羅斯多個城市（包括莫斯科、克拉斯諾達爾等地）接連傳出大量Porsch（保時捷）車輛突然無法啟動、整車鎖死、完全失去動力的情況，許多車主形容車子「像變成廢鐵」。各地經銷商與媒體初步統計，受影響的車輛已達數百輛，事件在俄羅斯豪華車社群引發巨大震動。

故障車輛的共通點，是多為2013年後出廠並搭載原廠「VTS／PVTS」衛星防盜與追蹤系統的車款。這套系統原本設計用來定位與防盜，但現在卻成為問題核心。一旦VTS系統與衛星失去連線，車輛會啟動防盜保護模式，直接鎖死引擎、讓車輛無法啟動，導致眾多車主在完全沒有預警的情況下「被困在停車場」。

許多車主表示，車輛在熄火後就再也發不動。有些人嘗試自行處理，包括斷開電池負極端子、讓車輛電系休息 6 到 10 小時，或嘗試重啟、拔除 VTS 模組，但效果極不穩定。僅少部分車輛能暫時恢復，大多數仍持續無法啟動。

雖然主要受害者為Porsche車主，但相關報導也指出，部分Mercedes-Benz、Audi與Volkswagen車主同樣出現引擎鎖死、車輛拒絕啟動的狀況，使得外界對故障原因的猜測更加複雜。

目前最受討論的可能性，是「衛星通訊中斷」造成VTS系統集體失效。多家俄羅斯媒體與售後技師表示，現象看似與外部衛星訊號遭到干擾有關。由於影響範圍廣、涉及不同城市與多個品牌，有經銷商直言「不排除是蓄意的人為干擾」，可能涉及電子干擾或某種形式的技術攻擊，導致這些具備衛星追蹤功能的車輛集體誤判為遭竊，因而自動鎖死。

不過，截至目前，並沒有任何官方或技術檢測機構提供具體證據證明此為蓄意攻擊。故障原因仍在調查中，車主與經銷商只能透過私下檢測與網路傳言推測是否為惡意干擾所致。面對車輛集體失能，車主與維修業者嘗試的對策包括：斷電重置、拆除VTS警報系統、將車輛拖往經銷商進行重設。但因受影響車輛數量龐大，不少維修中心出現排隊情況，有些地區甚至完全無法及時消化修車需求。目前保時捷與其他品牌的官方售後單位仍在調查故障源頭，尚無明確技術報告能解釋事件。各大外媒推測，如果是軟體錯誤、伺服器故障或衛星訊號受阻造成，後續可能還會有更多車輛陸續受影響。

這起事件凸顯現代豪華車高度依賴衛星、防盜與網路連線系統的脆弱性。一旦通訊中斷，不僅影響車輛正常使用，甚至可能導致全車癱瘓，引發車主對安全性與可靠性的深層疑慮。如果確實涉及電子干擾或外部攻擊，則更會對整個豪車市場造成信任危機。截至2025年12月初，故障潮仍未完全結束，許多車主仍無法啟動車輛，也尚未出現公認的根本解法。事件或將迫使豪華車廠重新檢視自身聯網防盜系統的設計與安全性。在地緣政治、通訊干擾與科技攻防愈趨敏感的環境下，未來的車主可能不得不重新衡量是否要保留或停用部分聯網功能，以換取更高的車輛可靠性與自主掌握度。

In recent days, multiple cities across Russia—including Moscow, Krasnodar and several other regions—have reported a wave of Porsche vehicles suddenly failing to start, locking themselves down, or losing all power. Many owners described their cars as “turning into scrap metal.” According to preliminary counts from dealerships and media outlets, the number of affected vehicles has already reached several hundred, triggering shock across Russia’s luxury-car community.

A common feature among the malfunctioning cars is that most were manufactured after 2013 and equipped with the factory-installed VTS/PVTS satellite-based anti-theft and tracking system. Originally designed to provide location tracking and theft prevention, the system has now become the center of the crisis. Once the VTS loses its satellite connection, it automatically triggers the anti-theft protection mode, which immobilizes the engine and prevents the vehicle from starting. As a result, many owners found themselves stranded in parking lots without any prior warning.

Owners reported that after turning off the engine, the car simply refused to start again. Some attempted their own fixes—disconnecting the battery’s negative terminal for 6–10 hours to “reset” the electronics, or trying to reboot or remove the VTS module—but the results were highly inconsistent. Only a small number of cars temporarily recovered, while most remained completely inoperable.

Although Porsche owners make up the majority of reported cases, several outlets noted that some Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen owners experienced similar engine lockouts and start-up failures, adding further uncertainty to the root cause. 

The leading theory at the moment is that a “satellite communication disruption” caused the widespread VTS failures. Several Russian media outlets and service technicians have indicated that the symptoms appear consistent with external interference affecting satellite signals.
Because the issue spans multiple cities and involves several brands, some dealerships openly suggested the possibility of “intentional human interference,” hinting at a potential electronic jamming effort or some form of targeted technical attack that triggered the system’s anti-theft lock mechanisms.

However, as of now, no official agency or technical inspection body has provided concrete evidence confirming deliberate sabotage. The true cause remains under investigation, and both dealerships and car owners are relying on private diagnostics and online speculation to determine whether malicious interference was involved.

Faced with widespread vehicle immobilization, car owners and mechanics have attempted various solutions, including battery resets, disabling or removing the VTS alarm system, or towing vehicles to dealerships for system resets. But with the sheer number of affected cars, many service centers have become overwhelmed, with long queues and insufficient capacity to handle the surge in repair requests.

Porsche and other manufacturers’ service divisions are still investigating the issue, and no definitive technical report has been released. International media have speculated that if the cause relates to software malfunction, server failure, or satellite signal disruption, more vehicles could continue to be affected. 

The incident highlights the vulnerability of modern luxury vehicles, which rely heavily on satellite-based, networked, and anti-theft systems. When communications are disrupted, not only is normal use affected—entire vehicles can become incapacitated, raising serious concerns about safety and reliability. Should electronic interference or external attacks be confirmed, the situation could escalate into a broader trust crisis for the luxury-automotive industry.

As of early December 2025, the failure wave has not yet subsided. Many cars remain unable to start, and no universally accepted solution has emerged. The incident may force luxury automakers to reassess the design and security of their connected anti-theft systems. In an era of heightened geopolitical tension, communication disruptions, and technological confrontation, future car owners may have to reconsider whether to retain or disable certain connected features in exchange for greater reliability and control.
