2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 - 35 MPH, while driving near cones on the road, the contact manually turned the vehicle towards the right, and the steering wheel failed to perform as needed. The contact attempted to manually correct the steering wheel but was unable return the steering wheel to center because the steering wheel was independently turning to the left or the right. The contact believed that the vehicle was operating in self-driving mode; however, the vehicle was not equipped with the feature. The contact depressed the brake pedal to decelerate, almost stopping the vehicle, to regain control of the vehicle. The contact was able to drive to the destination. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving approximately 60 - 70 MPH, and the vehicle veered to the left and the right while the lane assist was activated. The contact depressed the brake pedal and decelerated almost to a stop to regain control of the vehicle. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, but the contact had not received a follow-up call. The failure mileage was unknown.

Full self driving did not detect pole. I press the fsd of tesla going out of the parking lot and the car turned to the side where the pole is located hitting the side where the camera part right next to driver side. The sensor of the car did not detect completely that there is a pole on side

On Saturday morning January 3, 2026 I was driving with my wife, daughter and dog. There was light rain at the time and I had my adaptive cruise set at approximately 72 mph. I was driving our 2024 Tesla Y. At approximately 10:21am the rear of car began to slide right as we entered gradual left curve, possibly because we hit water on road. I tried to slightly correct right and when I did that the steering wheel aggressively corrected back left which put us into a slide. Within a second we hit a tree on the passenger side. The impact was severe and on the passenger side door where my wife was sitting. At that time I theorize that my dog was ejected out of the back window and thrown across the freeway. We then rolled in the other direction (I dont know how many times) down a hill and settled upside down. I immediately smelled smoke and began to try get out of my seatbelt but I couldn’t. I carry a knife and I was able to cut myself out. I then tried to open door and could not so I began punching the glass and eventually got it moving and pushed on it and got it open. I slid myself out, turned around and saw car was on fire. I pulled my daughter out and then began extracting my wife. She was unconscious and had obvious orthopedic injuries. I am 100% confident that had I been driving my other vehicle (non Tesla) that this accident would have NOT occurred. The Tesla and its steering system caused this accident. On top of that, the batteries immediately caught fire, my seatbelt release button did not work, and the electric door button did not work. Had I not been carrying a knife and strong enough to punch door open this story would have ended up differently. The car completely burned. As far as I know, this was the first time this exact issue presented itself. However, when looking online its seems this issue is fairly common with Teslas in wet weather.

The emergency mechanical levers for BOTH of my front doors do not work at all. I pull them while pushing the door and they do not open the car. If the power dies in the car, there is no way for me or my passenger to escape the car. I reported this to Tesla and they are not able to immediately investigate it or provide me replacement vehicle.

On [XXX], while operating my 2024 Tesla Model Y in Full Self-Driving (Supervised) mode, the vehicle experienced an Uncommanded Steering Input leading to a collision. The vehicle was traveling at a very low speed of approximately 5 mph in a clear, simple environment. Despite this walking pace, the FSD software failed to identify a visible concrete curb and initiated a sudden, sharp turn directly into the obstacle without any prior warning or driver input. The fact that the system executed such a violent and erroneous maneuver at 5 mph indicates a fundamental failure in the Neural Network's object detection and path planning logic. If this logic failure had occurred at higher speeds or near pedestrians, the results could have been catastrophic. The local Tesla Service Center (Watertown, MA) refused to conduct a physical inspection or a log review of the steering torque. They issued a Repair Estimate of $1,217.26 while claiming 'no hardware fault codes' were present, thus ignoring the documented software malfunction. As a leaseholder of this vehicle with only 15,489 miles, I am reporting this as a significant safety defect that the manufacturer refuses to investigate.

Date & Time: December 25, approximately 6:00 PM Location: Northbound I-880 between the Mowry Avenue and Thornton Avenue exits, Fremont, CA Weather & Road Conditions: Heavy rain at the time of the incident. Road surface was wet with reduced visibility. Vehicle & System State: Tesla Model Y. Driver assistance / self-driving functionality was active at the time of the incident (traffic-aware cruise control / Autopilot functionality). Description of the Incident: While driving northbound on I-880 in heavy rain, the vehicle had been operating normally. Without warning, the vehicle appeared to incorrectly detect that it was drifting out of its lane and attempted to correct this perceived drift. Instead of a minor lane correction, the vehicle abruptly applied heavy braking and initiated a sudden and aggressive left steering maneuver. The car crossed approximately four lanes of traffic in the same direction of travel and continued rotating, ultimately performing an unintended U-turn while remaining on the northbound side of the highway. As a result, the vehicle came to a stop oriented against the direction of travel, facing oncoming northbound traffic. Immediately afterward, the vehicle unexpectedly began reversing at high speed without driver input, creating an additional imminent risk of collision with the outer highway wall (noise barrier separating the highway from adjacent residential areas). During this entire sequence of events, I was unable to regain control of the vehicle despite attempting to intervene. There were no vehicles immediately surrounding us at that moment. Had there been nearby traffic, this incident would likely have resulted in a severe or fatal multi-vehicle collision. Occupants: My wife and two young children were in the vehicle. The children were asleep in the back seat, secured in car seats. Outcome: No physical collision occurred. However, the incident caused extreme fear and distress, and we remain shaken by the event.

The car spontaneously accelerated while approaching a stop sign. I was able to hit the brake to stop it.

Steering locked at 75 MPH on freeway. Model Y suddenly jerked left and locked, then jerked right and locked again. Loss of control and near-crash event. No road debris, no rain, no warnings on screen. Steering temporarily becomes unresponsive, requiring fight to correct. Tesla refuses repair because no alert code stored. Vehicle unsafe to drive.

I would like to report a significant incident involving the auto-corrective steering in my vehicle. While driving on the highway, the steering wheel experienced a strong jolt, which I believe was caused by the auto-corrective steering system. This resulted in the vehicle spinning three times and ultimately coming to rest on the grassy center divider. Fortunately, no damage occurred at that time, and I initially attributed the incident to road conditions. I continued driving for approximately 30 minutes in rainy weather without further incident. However, a few hours later, during my return journey, the same forceful jolt to the steering wheel recurred about 20 minutes into the drive. On this occasion, the car spun 1.5 times and subsequently collided backward with the concrete center divider. It is fortunate that no other vehicles were involved, given the heavy traffic and rainy conditions at the time. During both of the incidents, I had both hands on the steering wheel and was not able to correct steering due to the strong force from the steering wheel jolt. I did have a Police Report filed, but have to get number when I return home.

On November 8, my 2024 Model Y suddenly came to a complete stop from about 40 mph while I was driving with no cruise control or Autopilot active. This was extremely dangerous — my [XXX] was in the car, and we were lucky no one was behind us. It put myself, my child, and others in the absolute risk of collision and injury. When I contacted the service center they said it sometimes happened due to "shadows" or "sun". They refused to run a diagnostic on the car for free and wanted me to pay for it.

I was driving the Tesla and coming up my circular drive(note I was driving uphill). The car suddenly accelerated and went out of control. I pumped the brake and took my foot off the accelerator but the car kept going and crashed into our house (sunroom) at end of the driveway at high speed > we went through the casement windows and brick foundation and would have gone through the other side window and down a hill and probably been killed if it were not for a heavy cast iron table that brought us to a stop. The airbags never opened.The car was totaled(the insurance company declared it a total lost and refused to repair and paid us a small amount, less than we paid for the car. This was the second repeat incident, the first one very similar was reported to NHTSA by my erhusband,reported to NHTSA 0n 1/20/2025, 6.19 pm; complaint number 11637163.after the first crash we tried to get Tesla to pick up the car. they refused. Instead they said they would check it remotely. We gave them the opportunity to inspect and repair the car between the first and second incident. They ignored us, do to their negligence we were almost killed. Please open an investigation. We have names and emails to show who we complained to.

Tesla removed the speed limit offset feature in FSD version 14.1.4 and now only uses speed profiles called Sloth, Chill, Standard, Hurry, and Mad Max, and this has made my car extremely unsafe to drive. The problem is that these profiles make the car go either way too slow or way too fast and I cannot adjust it to match actual traffic conditions anymore. To make matters worse, the speed limit detection is broken and frequently shows the wrong speed limit for the road I am on. When I use Sloth, the car never goes over the detected speed limit no matter what, so if the system thinks I am in a 35 mph zone when I am actually on a 55 mph highway, my car crawls along at 35 while traffic is flying past at 60-70 mph. I have people tailgating me, honking, flashing their lights, swerving around me dangerously, and I have almost been rear-ended multiple times because my car is going so much slower than everyone else. Without the ability to set a maximum speed offset, I am stuck going whatever speed the broken detection system thinks is right. If I switch to Standard, Hurry or Mad Max to try to keep up with traffic, sometimes the car goes way too fast for the actual conditions or blows through school zones and residential areas at unsafe speeds. I cannot fine-tune the speed anymore to drive safely with the flow of traffic. I am forced to either be a rolling roadblock and risk getting hit from behind, or use an aggressive profile that might go dangerously fast. This happens every single time I use FSD now and the combination of broken speed limit detection plus no manual offset control has created a seriously unsafe situation. I feel endangered every time I drive and I am genuinely worried about causing or being in an accident.

Recently Tesla released it's latest version of FSD, v14.1.4. One of the key features is the revamping of the driving modes: sloth, chill, standard, and mad max. Tesla also removed the ability to manually increase or decrease the speed of the car. This is a problem. Let me illustrate it with a real-life example. Yesterday I was driving of a 40 mph road and the car correctly set the speed. I was using the standard mode so the car allowed an overage of around 10% so the actual speed was 45 mph. In our area this is typical for most drivers. As we entered a village, the posted speed limit was changed to 30 mph. The panel was perfectly visible and readable. The car did not register it and continued at 45 mph. I changed to mode to "sloth" and the car decreased its speed to 40 mph but I was still 10 mph above the legal speed limit. I came across a second 30 mph panel and again the car "ignored" it. Because I did not have the ability to manually reduce the speed of the car, I had to disengage FSD and drive the car by myself. Tesla claims FSD must be supervised. Fine. But removing the ability to manually change the speed of the car should be a requirement not a design preference.

There was a sudden unintended acceleration and the brake did not work, causing a major accident. Car caught fire and door would not open. The car has completely engulfed. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. Vehicle has been inspected by insurance and police, but not by manufacturer.

After Tesla Berkeley performed an alignment on my 2024 Model Y on July 22, 2025, the car suffered a complete systems failure while driving on the freeway. Within minutes of leaving the service center, multiple safety systems shut down at once — steering assist, emergency braking, lane keeping, stability control, etc... all turned off, and the car went into manual mode. The vehicle became extremely difficult to control at highway speeds, forcing me to steer and brake manually without assist. Because the Service Center was closed that evening, I couldn’t contact anyone, so I drove back first thing the next morning (July 23) to report the issue. I was initially told the next available appointment was two weeks later, but I had to beg to be seen the same day because the car was unsafe to drive. Tesla redid the alignment and told me the car was fine. After reviewing the alignment reports, both the July 22 and July 23 data are mechanically impossible. The reports show rear camber changes from −1.8° / −2.3° to −1.5° / −1.6°, then to −2.0° / −1.8°, even though rear camber on a stock Model Y is not adjustable. This means the alignment equipment or calibration was inaccurate, and therefore the toe settings were also unreliable. The car was almost certainly released with incorrect rear toe, which explains the immediate handling instability and safety system shutdowns. A later independent alignment on October 13, 2025 (America’s Tire, Roseville) confirmed the correct geometry (−1.9° / −2.0°) and proved Tesla’s readings were wrong. Since the faulty alignments, my car developed severe inner-edge tire wear, and I had to replace all four tires prematurely. This incident involved a total system and steering-assist failure immediately after service, making it a clear safety hazard. Documentation (alignment reports and tire invoices) are available upon reques

Phantom braking happened. This is the 3rd time to my car. This time, my car stopped automatically when I was already decelerating close to 2-5 mph and the car in front was very far away. I was not using FSD nor autopilot. The emergency auto stop sign came up out of nowhere and my car jerked really hard and my child in the back experienced the jerk and this injured his shoulder.

the steering wheel used to be centered in the middle. when you turn right, its resistance would turn it left back to the center point. or when you turn left, its resistance would turn it back right towards the center point. so after each turn such as u-turn, one would grab the steering wheel lightly so it can slide back to the center position. i will call it the "no resistance" point for that centered steering wheel position. now the problem is, that no resistance point has moved a few degrees right and it brings the wheel with it. i now have to turn the steering wheel left (with the resistance that it wants to go back to right) to make the steering wheel centered and go forward straight. car goes forward straight when the steering wheel is centered so it's not an alignment problem. but in order for the steering wheel to be centered, i have to turn it slightly left because the no resistance point has shifted a few degrees right. now this is dangerous because the car can now take you off the lane easily. car is equipped with lane keeping assistance and i find the system helpful but the system is not activated some times under some circumstances. I visited a dealer and they claimed the wheel is centered that there is no need for any repairs.

Three different occasions, while utilizing adaptive cruise the car applied all breaks, causing me to lunge forward with the car coming to a complete stop. I did not see anything that would had caused the car to apply the breaks and the camera's did not record any obstacle. This was brought to the Tesla dealerships attention and I was told there is nothing that can be done about it. If I had not been wearing my seat belt, the potential emergency braking could had resulted in me sustaining a blunt force impact to my chest with the steering wheel, not to mention a possible motor vehicle accident with the vehicle behind me. I did look through the manual and there is no way of me turning feature off or lowering to a warning versus a suddent stop.

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I was driving westbound on the [XXX], just before the [XXX] and [XXX] off-ramp, with my wife and our [XXX] baby in the car. While in traffic, I noticed the regenerative braking system was not slowing the vehicle down adequately, despite having a clear and sufficient distance from the big rig ahead of us. As the gap closed, I slammed down on the brake pedal, but it felt abnormally stiff and did not respond with the urgency or force expected. The vehicle failed to stop in time, resulting in a rear-end collision with the big rig. Thankfully, we were not injured due to the speed of the accident. The breaks have not been inspected due to it being in the collision center There was an alarm but it sounded off too late and the car ended up colliding.

While driving with Full Self-Driving (FSD) engaged, my vehicle proceeded through a red traffic light without any driver input on two separate occasions within the past few weeks. On both occasions: - The traffic light was clearly red. - The vehicle accelerated forward without prompt while first briefly coming to a full stop it then proceeded forward while traffic light remained on red. - There was no visible obstruction or confusion. These are serious failures in the FSD system’s signal recognition and pose an extreme safety hazard. I request a formal investigation and safety recall if warranted.

The contact owned a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while his son was driving at approximately 38 MPH with his sister inside the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle lost steering and braking functionality and failed to stop as intended, causing the vehicle to drive through a crosswalk. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed to respond while being turned, causing the vehicle to crash into a curb and then into a parked vehicle, which was able to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a Tesla Collision Center, and between Tesla and the Insurance provider, the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The Insurance Company reviewed the event data recorder (EDR) reports and confirmed the failure which contributed to the crash. The contact stated that the Police was not contacted because it was a single vehicle crash. The other vehicle owner was notified of the crash and was provided the needed information to file a claim. A Police report was not filed. The contact's son was taken to the local medical center in a family vehicle. The contact's son and daughter sustained headaches and concussions, and both received medical attention. The contact drove his son to the local medical center, where he was admitted and remained overnight. Additionally, the contact's son was continuing outpatient treatment for the injuries sustained. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 3,500.

I was driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour in rainy weather when the car’s emergency braking system suddenly activated. At the same time, the steering wheel locked due to the braking, and I completely lost control of the vehicle. The car spun multiple times before crashing into the center divider of the highway and finally coming to a stop. This was an extremely dangerous incident from a safety perspective. This was the first time such a braking malfunction occurred. The incident has not yet been investigated by the insurance company, and no warning or notification was displayed by the vehicle at any point.

The contact owned a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact's daughter was driving at approximately 30 MPH when the vehicle had independently accelerated. The contact said that her daughter drove through an intersection and crashed into another vehicle. The contact's vehicle crashed into the other vehicle's driver's left front door. The contact stated that her vehicle's front end was crushed, and the other vehicle's driver's side door, driver's side rear wheel, and tailgate were damaged. The contact stated that both vehicles had to be towed. The contact stated that the air bags had deployed in her vehicle. The contact stated she drove her daughter to the hospital. The daughter only had pain in her neck and shoulders; there were no cuts or abrasions. The police arrived and issued an incident report. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot, and the contact was advised by her insurance provider that the vehicle was a total loss. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,011.

The contact owned a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that it was raining while driving on the highway at 45 MPH when the vehicle began to hydroplane, no warning lights were illuminated, The contact attempted to slow down their vehicle however upon depressing the brake pedal the vehicle would not stop, and the vehicle immediatley spun around 2 times before crashing into a concrete barrier with the rear and front end of their vehicle. No property damage was reported, and the vehicle came to a stop upon impact. The airbags did not deploy. The vehicle did not need to be towed. The hazard warning light was illuminated, and warning messages were displayed stating that cameras had been damaged. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was driven back to the contacts residence, and from there, towed to a local Tesla dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and it was declared a total loss. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.

The vehicle was operating in Autopilot mode as it approached a right turn but was in the incorrect lane. The vehicle accelerated in an apparent attempt to merge into the correct lane and initiate the turn, but it approached the turn at an unsafe speed. I pressed the brake pedal, which disengaged Autopilot as expected, but the vehicle failed to slow down or stop. I attempted to manually complete the turn, but although I turned the steering wheel, the wheels did not respond. The vehicle continued forward at speed, struck a curb on the opposite side of the road, and then collided with a parked vehicle. The impact with the parked vehicle ultimately brought the car to a stop. Multiple error messages briefly appeared on the screen during the incident before disappearing.

The vehicle comes with a software feature that automatically shifts the car into park "to prevent rollaway". It does it at random times when we are driving and has multiple times almost caused an accident because my vehicle will suddently stop when I am in the middle of a road or pulling out onto a busy road. The most recent incident was on March 11 2025, I was pulling out from a parking lot, taking a right onto a very busy road. The software unexpectedly shifted the vehicle to park, stopping it completely while I was halfway in the road, with other cars approaching me at 45-50mph. In a panic it was difficult to shift back into drive quickly, and nearly caused an accident that could have been fatal. I called the manufacturer and was uanble to get through to an agent, so I sent an email and have not yet received a response.

The steering wheel is locking up. First while parked and attempting to leave. It does eventually unlock and appears to not have what i would refer to as power steering. While driving it appears to not have power steering and the steering periodically locks up which i would immediately brake a have to repeatedly yank hard on wheel until it unlocks at this point as of the moment of this writing the steering wheel is completely locks up and cannot be yank out of lock at all. I have a video of some incidents happening. One heading into on coming traffic another of the car driving up on a snow bank ( if the bank was not there the car would have ended up in a ditch ). There are caution indicators on the screen but none say stop do not drive. The first caution or warning indicator says stability control disabled drive with caution. Next indicator states traction control disabled drive with caution. Next indicator steering assist reduced steering may require increased effort. I find myself very lucky that no real damage injury or death occurred it was that dangerous on my over an hour drive. When the steering locked up in the parking lot i did contact tesla and initially everything was fine but locked up again in parking lot. I contacted them a second time with the wheel unlocking at the but no one said dont drive nor did any indicators state that actually indicated i could drive but with caution. I believe that if i were on a busy highway things would have been much worse. I was lucky. There was no indication of a totally locked steering wheel in there diagnostics indicators also nothing stating do not drive. Actually quite the opposite. I can provide driving video upon request. There were other warning indicators i have some recorded. None of the indicators stated a totally locked steering steering wheel lock up and nothing indicating do not drive. I would welcome your agency to come inspect this. It is a total danger to society.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while parking the vehicle in front of the garage at the residence, the contact removed her foot from the accelerator pedal and the vehicle accelerated independently and crashed into the garage door. The contact stated that the garage door was damaged. The contact called the Insurance company to report the failure and emailed pictures of the crash. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,133.

The seat belt buckle on the driver's seat failed to latch. After several attempts, it appeared to latch but did not make a clicking sound. The driver is unsure whether the seat belt is functioning properly. This is a new car, less than 5 months old.

The contact called concerning the owner of a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while idle at a red light in her vehicle, the 2024 Tesla Model Y rear-ended her vehicle. When speaking with the owner of the vehicle it was informed that the Tesla was on autopilot causing the crash. The owner stated that they could not feel when the impact occurred. No air bags deployed. The contact's vehicle was damaged near the license. The contact stated she sustained a soar neck but medical attention was not sought. The owner of the Tesla did not sustain any injuries that were known. A police report was not filed. The contact was unsure if the dealer was contacted or if the vehicle was repaired. The contact was unsure if the manufacturer was informed. The failure mileage was unknown.

Several malfunctions: all cameras including rear cameras were disabled, high beams would flash on and off continuously when in auto mode. Front Passenger safety restraint failure alert message that eventually turned off. The car continuously has a humming noise even after turned off. Navigation system was not operable.

Here is my draft: Vehicle Information: • Make: Tesla • Model: Model Y • Year: 2024 Description of the Problem: After a software update pushed by Tesla, the AP4 computer in my 2024 Tesla Model Y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all systems controlled by this computer. The following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: 1.⁠Cruise Control (adaptive or otherwise) 2.⁠Forward Collision Warning 3.⁠Lane Departure Warning 4.⁠Lane Keeping Assistance 5.⁠Blind Spot Warning 6.⁠Parking Collision Warning 7.⁠Full Self-Driving and Auto Park features 8.⁠Cameras required for Autopilot functionality Additionally, because the GPS system has failed, the vehicle’s Navigation system is inoperable. This impacts Tesla’s unique route planning feature that sets up Supercharger stops during long journeys. Without a functioning navigation system, I cannot properly plan my travel or locate charging stations, which severely affects the usability of the vehicle. Safety Concerns: The failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Incident Details: • The issue occurred immediately following a software update. • Tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • The failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the AP4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update. Desired Outcome: • A thorough investigation into Tesla’s software update process and its effect on vehicle hardware and safety systems. • A resolution that prevents similar failures in other vehicles and ensures system updates do not compromise vehicle safety or critical functionality.

Starting on 12/4/2024, my car's camera stopped working, no blind spot warning, no navigation, no rear view camera and no cruise control. Reported to Tesla on 12/8 and they said it is a known problem nationwide and some Autopilot computers are getting shut or something. They have given me an appointment for 1/4/2025. The vehicle is really unsafe to drive without these components working and the vehicle draws on heavy amount of battery usage without these controls and for my commute on highway, I am always nervous about if there is going to be enough for me to reach the next charging station. I would expect this falls into safety recall and Tesla should at least send out a service bulletin as well as provide alternate vehicles for the owners to use until this can be fixed.

Tesla has told me the AP4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start right around Thanksgiving. I scheduled the soonest appointment available for 01/03. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new '24 Tesla. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~1 months old now. This issue impacts: emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, back camera, Vehicles built in GPS to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously... Tesla has not seemed to publicly acknowledge the issue yet either.

After a recent software update - all Cameras/Sensors/Cruise Control/ADAS systems are no longer functioning.

The seat belt in the back right seat stopped latching after a few months of use. It’s where we buckle my child on his booster seat so I was very concerned that it failed

#Issue Description I experienced an issue with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system when a trailer hitch was attached to my vehicle. From what I observed, the FSD system appeared to detect the trailer hitch as an object in close proximity to the vehicle. This caused the vehicle to accelerate rapidly to the FSD maximum speed of 85 MPH, regardless of the road conditions or posted speed limits. This issue occurred when the lane markings were visible, but the hitch obstructed the rear camera’s view. On the FSD display, this obstruction was represented as a persistent “cloud” following the vehicle. I attempted to adjust the maximum speed limit manually to mitigate the acceleration, but this did not prevent the behavior. Each time I engaged FSD, the car would accelerate rapidly, even in situations where such high speeds were not appropriate for the road conditions. # Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue I covered the rear camera, which allowed FSD to function normally and prevented the rapid acceleration. The “cloud” visualization on the FSD display also disappeared once the camera was covered. # Trailer Mode Tesla offers a “Trailer Mode,” but I did not enable it since I was only using a hitch without towing a trailer. My understanding is that FSD does not operate in Trailer Mode. # Reference: This issue has been reported by other Tesla owners, as discussed here: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

With beta self driving engaged, I turned south on [XXX] intending to turn west on [XXX]. At [XXX], there are 2 right turn lanes. I approached the intersection turning from the left lane. Rather than turn right, the car continued straight. I was able to manually override the system and luckily brought the car under control; otherwise, I am sure I would have ended up in a very bad spot. Later the same day beta did not recognize a turn lane into my community but rather proceeded straight. I have since disabled the beta FSD. I am responding to today's CNN article of your pending investigation. I cannot respond to your other questions above. Thank you!

My car slammed on the brakes on the highway this morning at 75 mph. A box truck was following me but thankfully he didn't hit me. I was in what Tesla calls Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) at the time and quickly brought the car out of TACC and hit the accelerator to get me back up to speed so I didn't pose a danger to other drivers on the highway. I dont know exactly how much my car slowed, but it was enough to throw me forward in my seat. There were no vehicles in front of me at the time. This was a classic example of "phantom braking", which is talked about a lot in the Tesla community. This is my 2nd report of phantom braking to the NHTSA.

I was in a parking lot on [XXX] in Mamaroneck, New York waiting in line to get out at approximately [XXX]. Many cars were ahead of me due to the school drop-off rush, with parents and kids lined up in the parking lot waiting to leave. While I was waiting, the Tesla unexpectedly accelerated on its own, but I managed to hit the brakes just in time to avoid colliding with the car in front of me. A few seconds later, my car suddenly accelerated again without any input from me. I tried to steer away from the cars in front while repeatedly pressing the brakes, but they weren’t working. All I could think about was avoiding hitting another car or person, so I swerved the car toward the building in the parking lot. The impact was hard, and the car finally stopped, but the airbags didn’t deploy. I’m deeply shaken by the incident; I could have seriously injured someone or even worse. When I got home, I discovered that this issue is a known problem with Tesla, yet they’re placing the blame on drivers. Having never been in a car accident before, this experience has been overwhelming. As a mother and attorney, I believe it’s crucial to examine this situation more closely. Tesla controls the data, and it’s clear that responsible drivers wouldn’t suddenly veer into a building in a crowded parking lot without cause. I urge you to act on this life threatening defective car and investigate this problem before it is too late.
