2024 Tesla Model Y Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front driver’s side seat failed to adjust to the intended position while the digital screen was in use. No warning light was illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that when the manual front driver’s side seat control pad was in use, the manual front seat control pad felt fragile and moved the front driver’s side seat forward into the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, and the front driver’s side seat control pad was replaced. The manufacturer was contacted; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 8,790.

I would like to report an incident where Tesla FSD got confused by tire marks on a bridge deck and, soon after, by shadows on pavement. On both occasions, FSD steered the car across the double yellow before returning to its lane. There was no traffic and the car slowed down, so I let it play to see what would happen. Your site does not allow uploading videos so I'm providing Youtube links to the videos showing the incidents.

I am filing this complaint to report a serious safety defect in the Tesla Model Y. On [date], my wife suffered a rear tire blowout at freeway speeds in our Tesla Model Y. Despite regularly checking tire tread depth and relying on Tesla’s built-in tire monitoring systems, the blowout occurred because the inside edges of the rear tires had worn down to exposed cords, while the outside tread still appeared to have ample depth. Tesla Service attempted to explain this away as “normal wear and tear” and a need for alignment. However, this is misleading. The Model Y’s rear suspension has built-in negative camber that cannot be adjusted from the factory. Alignments can only adjust toe, not camber, so this design characteristic inevitably causes accelerated inside-edge wear regardless of alignment. More critically, this risk is not disclosed to consumers: It is not explained during the sales process. It is not documented in the Owner’s Manual. Tesla’s sensors only track pressure, not tread depth, meaning there is no warning system to alert the driver. The average consumer has no way of knowing they must crawl under the car to inspect the inside edges of the tires. To an owner, the tires look safe until catastrophic failure occurs. In addition to the safety hazard, this hidden defect creates a financial burden. Because of the blowout, I was forced to spend $1,200 on new tires unexpectedly. This premature and unforeseen cost compounds the danger by placing families under financial stress along with physical risk. This represents a foreseeable safety hazard that endangers Tesla drivers and passengers. I believe this condition warrants a formal NHTSA safety investigation and potential corrective action (such as a recall, suspension redesign, or mandatory disclosure). Vehicle details: Tesla Model Y Mileage at time of incident: 43940 I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter promptly to prevent additional ac

Sun glare is a well-documented driving hazard, yet Tesla’s Y model’s visors are too short to offer sufficient coverage. This compromises driver safety and forces customers to seek aftermarket solutions for a problem rooted in design. A responsible manufacturer should address this defect directly. Driving home as sun was setting, I was completely BLINDED by the sun. It was terrifying as the visor was too short to stop the sun glare. I was lucky I didn’t hit something or somebody plus my own safety.

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.

Traveling today using the cruise control function in Tesla Model Y, the car took over the control of the car and applied braking for no clear reason. Was going 70 miles an hour, had been using the cruise control for about 30 minutes when incident occurred. There were semi trucks in the slow lane, I was in the fast lane. There were no vehicles in front of my car. The car suddenly lunged forward as the brakes were automatically applied. Simultaneously, the steering wheel began to jerk back and forth causing the car to veer back and forth. Vehicles around me began braking as well to avoid rear ending my car and to avert hitting my car as it veered back and forth. I had to fight the steering wheel in an attempt to pull it off the active roadway and then the car suddenly gave all control back to me at which time I was able to disable the cruise control and take full control.

Finding random screws coming off the vehicle in various compartments. Two screws found laying in glove compartment that came off the assembly holding the inside of the glove box. A hex screw found in rear passenger arm rests storage compartment, after further look up, this screw became lose and fell off the arm rests storage compartment assembly.

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.

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.

The rims on this car are made so cheap it’s no way I should have this many crack and bent rims I been thru a total of 5 rims already and Tesla don’t offer u the rim protection until u replace a rim no matter how slow I drive my rim always seen to get cracked or bent on rail road tracks or even driving over a speed bump or going thru car wash

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

There is a Tesla software defect. 1. I stepped into my Tesla Model Y. There was no vehicle in front of my driveway. A delivery van came to park in front of my driveway temporarily. It is a traffic violation according to the California Vehicle Code Section 22500(e). 2. I put my foot on the brake and put my car in the reverse gear. 3. Then I made an adjustment on the CONTROL screen. 4. I put my foot on the accelerator to continue to back up my car. The screen doesn't show the rear view anymore. This is a Tesla software defect that the screen should display the rear view as soon as I push the accelerator in this case.

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.

shortly after i purchased this car it began to put itself into park while the car was moving slowly and even when it was in car wash mode going through a brush carwash that requires cars to be in neutral. i reached out to tesla support to investigate and they explained this is a safety feature that engages if the driver leaves the seat while the car is not in park. i explained to them that in both cases i had been sitting firmly in the seat and there should have been no reason for the car to put itself in park and asked them how i turn this auto feature off. they said there was no way to turn it off. i explained to them that ALL automation features should be optional, they argued with me. came to find out some sensor in my driver's seat was malfunctioning. they took the car to replace the seat/sensor, but i reiterated that all these auto features should be optional and a consumer should be able to turn them off. my car was rendered unsafe to drive due to the malfunctioning sensor, i should have had a way to turn off the feature, i asked them to open a ticket with their engineers to add settings to turn off this automation feature. fast forward to 6/25/25, as i am pulling my car into a parking space at a store the car SLAMS itself in park, so hard that i thought maybe i had hit something hard with one of my wheels. i followed back up with Tesla support and am being told there is still no way for me to turn off this automation feature. no automation feature should EVER be hard coded into a motor vehicle. the risk presented by malfunctioning automation features is too great, and if i want to completely control every aspect of my car i should be able to, regardless of how much automation it is capable of. i am filing a complaint now because Tesla is clearly not taking these concerns seriously

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.

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.

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding a serious malfunction that occurred in my Tesla Model Y (2024) following a recent software update pushed by Tesla. A couple of days ago, my vehicle received a new over-the-air software update. After installation, my car began displaying two error messages, and key safety features, including detection of nearby vehicles and warning systems, ceased functioning. This creates a significant safety risk when driving, as the car no longer alerts me to surrounding traffic or visualizes other vehicles on screen. Upon contacting Tesla customer service, I was instructed to schedule a service appointment, which I did for May 21, 2025, at 2:15 PM. During the appointment, the Tesla service advisor confirmed that the issue began only after the software update. However, I was told I would need to pay $3,000 out-of-pocket to repair the issue because my car is no longer under warranty. I raised the point that the malfunction was caused directly by Tesla’s software update. Despite this, I was informed that Tesla refuses to repair it at their cost, even after acknowledging the connection between the update and the malfunction. Moreover, the technician informed me that this issue could escalate and create safety hazards in 4–6 months, yet no resolution or recall has been offered. Given the acknowledgment that: The problem was introduced by Tesla's software, The malfunction affects critical safety systems, and There is imminent risk to safety, I believe Tesla should bear responsibility for the repair and ensure the vehicle is safe to operate. This situation warrants urgent attention, both from a consumer protection and vehicle safety standpoint. I request that Tesla take full accountability and cover the repair costs immediately, or offer a rollback/fix to the software that caused the issue. Otherwise, I will be escalating this matter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and consumer protection agencie

Unintented Accelaration May 15th, 2025 - at about 2 pm the car was being parked in a small local shopping area parking lot by my wife. as she was pulling into the lot, the car suddenly accelarated and surged forward and she had to slam on the brakes to avoid any collision and getting out of control. after about 30 minutes, as she was pulling out of the parking in reverse, a similar experience, the car accelerated/surged backwards and she again had to slam the brakes to avoid any collision with other cars. this time, she also felt a loud thud under the rear portion of the car, no damage noticed. have sent a note to tesla service for it to be evaluated

The automatic rain-sensing wipers on my 2024 Tesla Model Y fail to activate during rain from delivery date, leaving the windshield uncleared and forcing manual activation. To be clear, this feature does not work at. This happens consistently and creates a significant safety hazard due to impaired visibility while driving. Tesla uses a camera-based system rather than a dedicated rain sensor, and despite service visits and software updates, the issue persists. I believe this presents an undue safety risk that should be investigated.

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 backup camera system is not available, no camera visibility on any of the cameras, no sensors detection, blinkers only lit for 2 seconds and after that they are turned off automatically. Vehicle is not safe to drive with the risk of system failure while driving.

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.

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.

Vehicle hood latch censor . Around feb 25 2025 my car was parked in parking lot when i shift to d it showes hood latch need service i towed the car to service center . They replaced the censor by saying its a old bad censor . Now again my car parked in garage march 17 the same hood latch censor error . And it wont let you drive more than 15 mph . Even the hood is locked . If you check kn social media alot of people faced the same issue

FSD failed to break when another vehicle was making a right turn. I had to take over is a split second. I have dashcam footage but unable to upload in this form.

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 Model Y. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH with the Full Self-Driving features activated, the vehicle failed to stop at the intersection when the light was red. The vehicle continued to accelerate through the red light. The driver was ticketed by the Police for the infraction. Additionally, while using the Full Self-Driving feature, the vehicle attempted to turn while at a light with a red arrow. The driver depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 22,251.

Incident Details: Date & Time: [XXX] Driver: My spouse, Purpose of Trip: Personal (heading to a nearby soccer park) Location: [XXX] Weather & Road Conditions: Clear weather, dry roads, normal traffic conditions Driver Safety: The driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident Incident Description: My spouse was driving to the nearby soccer park with the vehicle in FSD mode. Upon approaching a railway crossing, the signal was green, indicating it was safe to proceed. However, instead of maintaining a controlled speed, the car suddenly accelerated while attempting to cross. Before my spouse could take control, the vehicle struck the boom barrier, which was either lowering or had already lowered at that moment. The incident happened so suddenly that she did not have enough time to react and override the system. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, but the vehicle sustained damage to the front bumper, windshield, and frame. The unexpected behavior of FSD at a railway crossing raises serious safety concerns regarding its decision-making. Safety Concerns: I have been a long-time appreciative user of FSD, but this incident has shaken my confidence in the system. I now fear using FSD. Given the serious nature of this incident, I request an urgent review and response regarding my concerns, as well as coverage for the necessary repairs. Request for Investigation & Cost Coverage: Access to Vehicle Logs: I request access to the vehicle's telemetry and camera recordings to determine why this happened. FSD System Review: Please investigate whether this was an FSD-related miscalculation and what corrective actions are necessary. Cost of Repairs: As this incident was caused by an unexpected FSD action, I request Tesla to cover the repair costs for the vehicle and any associated damages.

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.

This vehicle is experiencing vibration at highway speeds. it was reported several times to the dealer without resolve. The upon the 3rd trip to the dealer, they are now saying that somehow all 4 rims are bent. None of the wheels have any visible indication of an impact, scratch or damage to the tires. As the only driver to this vehicle, i know firsthand it has not experienced any impact in way of significant bumps, pothole or otherwise. This is diagnosis is of serious concerns if the vehicles wheels will hold up under normal driving and if it were to experience a bump such as one found on a highway paving ridge during construction would it break or become uncontrollable.

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.

I was driving on a three-lane highway (I-495) using the adaptive cruise control (autosteer) when I suddenly noticed the car to my right dangerously veering toward my vehicle. In an attempt to change lanes to the left, my car wildly overcorrected to the left, nearly sending me into the highway median, followed by another overcorrection to the right. The steering wheel felt almost uncontrollable. Luckily no collision.

After update 2024.38.2 they introduced a "Active Curve Assist" which can't be disabled while using the cruise control. This has caused the car to excessively brake (70mph to 45mph), a couple times while a vehicle is following resulting in a near rear end collision and has created dangerous situations

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.

When using FSD, I've noticed that on occasion at a red light, the car will start moving, albeit very slowly, a fraction of a second before the light turns green. I've assumed the car was watching the traffic lights from the other direction using its cameras. So on the [XXX] when this happened, and the car started moving I let it go thinking the light was about to turn green. But I was shocked that the car drove through the red light. Admittedly there were red lights in all directions. I know I'm supposed to be keeping control but it was so shocking that by the time I reacted the car was already in the intersection so I let it go. I downloaded a recording of it. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I continue to get completely FALSE forward collision warnings. Part of this is because my front camera housing keeps fogging up and over the past 529 weeks I’ve gotten a half dozen false FCWs. When these faulty alerts occur, a loud audible beeping is heard and red alerts are displayed on the screen. These faulty alerts are dangerous distractions, causing panic, fear, and uncertainty in the driver, causing them to take their attention off of the road while they assess what just occurred. This is a critical flaw in the functionality of Tesla vehicles that the company has refused to address. This also makes me insurance rate spike way higher and I’m getting charged extra for this.

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 on 1/12, and I scheduled the earliest appointment available for 1/30. They did not offer me a rental or any assistance during this time, and I need my vehicle to commute to work and conduct other essential activities. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. This issue impacts: backup camera, emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, 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, and i have received no reparations for it.

The car horn is a speaker and is extremely quiet during normal operation. When in rain or snow, the horn speaker disables itself completely leaving the driver unable to utilize the horn which I believe is a hazard to drivers.

Park assist error message when put car in reverse. No visualizations on display. Early collision not working. Several times (not in this instance) backup camera has been black and does not show an image. Sentry system error message. FSD offline. (may not be a safety issue but wanted to provide information as it would show other errors in the system affecting safety) I have a scheduled appointment with the service center in February.

Tesla Full Self Driving v13.2.2 attempted to make a left turn while having a red light. The vehicle successfully came to a complete stop due the red light but once traffic cleared the intersection it attempted to proceed with the left turn while still having a red light. I immediately took over preventing the car from entering further into the intersection.

Description for NHTSA Report: I am reporting a significant safety concern with the new Teslas (starting with the 2024 models) that do not have a traditional physical horn. Instead, the horn sound is generated through the car’s external speakers. This design poses a severe safety risk, especially in rainy conditions or when the speakers are wet, as the horn becomes inaudible or significantly less effective. Additionally, the volume of the speaker-generated horn is not comparable to the loudness of traditional horns, making it insufficient for alerting other drivers and pedestrians in emergencies. This lack of an actual horn is extremely dangerous and has already led to situations where the horn was not effective. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue as it compromises vehicle safety.

The FSD feature for which we have paid in full to Tesla does not work. No cruise control and no Assisted Steering Control or Cruise Control works. As per their Service Department, AP4 Car Computer has internal short and camera can not communicate for above mentioned features.

The computer suddenly failed on [XXX] due to a short circuit caused by a manufacturing defect in certain 2024-25 Model Y vehicles. This causes nearly all advanced functionality and safety features of the car to fail completely, including all cameras, parking assist, full self-driving, autopilot, autosteer, autopark, cruise control, lane keep, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, auto windshield wipers, map, GPS navigation and more.

Hi, I have 2024 model Y rear wheel drive and wheels are so bumpy. They’re charging over $45,000 for the car. How come you guys approve this vehicle? The suspension is so bad. The car bounced whenever you drive that is big recall to fix this issue when you’re spending $45,000 on a vehicle how did you approve that the car is so bouncy whenever you drive that’s a major major issue with Tesla…….

Cameras stopped working which made all of the safety functions and GPS stop working as well.

The car lost all ADAS functions, and GPS on the onboard navigation system. In addition. it can't use regular cruise control and it does not have rear view mirror blind spot warning capability any more. This all happened when the car attempted to install the "holiday" updated from Tesla automatically around 11/29/24 .
