During driving, Tesla car spontaneously stated multiple active safety features and regenerative braking were no longer available and stopped working during driving with multiple warnings appearing. Driver safety at risk during this as well as others safety due to the lack of functioning.

2 Warning problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2025

The full self driving is very dangerous. I had several events that put me in danger. Like, going to the wrong lane. Going to the wrong way. Changing lanes that almost hit a car good thing I took over right away. It made the other car upset and honk at me.

3 Warning problem

Steering wheel locked up while driving, causing a collision in the highway.

4 Warning problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2024

Constant lane change while driving has gotten out of control. A couple of instance the vehicle has changed lanes without manual manipulation. This is getting out of hand and has certainly put risks on my family while operating vehicle.

5 Warning problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2024

Tesla autopilot drifted over two lanes and into the side of a semi-truck on the freeway. It was night time but with plenty of light, no rain, and clearly marked lines separating the lanes. Not only did autopilot fail, but the features to help avoid drifting out of a lane even when not using autopilot, also failed. Those features are supposed to auto-steer back into the lane and beep to alert the driver. None of this occurred. 1. Yes vehicle is available for inspection upon request 2. Could have easily led to extensive damage, injuries or fatalities. Everyone got lucky 3. Problem has not been reproduced by dealer, but I have video of the event 4. Vehicle has not been inspected by any 3rd parties.

6 Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2023

Vehicle started displaying warning messages as I pulled out of garage - "steering assist reduced" and "lane departure avoidance features unavailable. " afterwards, I noticed vibration and clicking sensation while turning steering wheel and driving at low speeds. I performed a software reset but messages were still there. Then I performed controls, safety, power off procedure. Messages disappeared, but steering still felt jerky. This happened when the vehicle had approximately 2,300 miles on it. A few days later, when exiting the garage, steering wheel was initially locked. It then "popped" when I applied gentle pressure to turn the wheel and the warning messages returned. Steering felt stuttery afterwards. I scheduled service appointment with Tesla. They replaced steering rack. I have had no problems since. Currently at 3,700 miles.

7 Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2023

Power steering stopped working when the car starts up, cannot steer the wheel at all in pdnr. Basically cannot steer the car at all and it is not drivable.

8 Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2023

I was driving and the power steering stopped functioning. The car had just over 1000 miles and both the lane departure avoidance and steering assistance cut out. Restarting the start would bring it back on temporarily but it would cut out again after a minute or two.
