Warning Problems of Tesla Model 3 - part 2

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. While travelling at 32 mph the vehicle moves to the right in preparation for an upcoming right turn. However, there is a parked truck in the lane the Tesla intended to enter, and the vehicle passes far too close to it before over-correcting and veering back into the original lane before once again moving back to the right-hand lane.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. While cruising at 30 mph the vehicle crossed a solid white line veering left into a bike lane. The vehicle then corrected itself, though this is an incredibly dangerous defect which could seriously endanger cyclists and other road users. This is a consistent error which is committed by Tesla full self-driving beta version 10. 12. 2 software. A link to the clip of the incident can be found below: https://vimeo.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. Entering an area where there were roadworks, at more than 30 mph, in fsd mode the vehicle veered to the right into a lane that was closed off. The driver had to take back control of the vehicle and put it back into the correct position on the road to avoid colliding with the concrete barriers in the road works. A link to a clip of the incident can be found below: https://vimeo. Com/732399072/8ae3aeaaee.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. The Tesla fails to slow down when approaching a curve in the road resulting in taking the corner far too quickly, despite the fact that there is a sign by the road warning drivers to slow down to 15mph. Tesla also failed to recognise the change in speed limit due to a blind turn in the road approaching, the car continued to go at a rapid speed (30mph) and even turned left when the road curved toward the right, leading to the driver taking control to steer the car back on path. During the turn, the Tesla was engaged in fsd beta 10. 12. 2 and crossed the dividing line into the opposite lane. If another vehicle was approaching this incident would have resulted in a collision as the Tesla strayed into the path of oncoming traffic.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. The vehicle was negotiating a series of bends and sharp corners travelling at speeds between 11 mph and 34 mph. The vehicle failed to respond to changes in the speed advice signs telling the car to slow down for sharp corners, taking corners too fast, and crossing the median line into the oncoming lane. The driver had to take action to adjust the lane position of the vehicle to avoid a collision. A link to a clip of the incident can be found below: https://vimeo. Com/730270943/1bdcab7a7a.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. Cruising at 30 mph, on a very straight road, the vehicle twice veered across solid white road markings and into the cycle lane before correcting. This is a repeated problem with fsd beta 10. 12. 2 and presents a very real danger to cyclists. A link to a clip of the incident can be found below: https://vimeo. Com/731686163/0ec7f7f428.

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in full self-driving beta 10. 12. 2 mode. Whilst cruising at 30 mph the vehicle leaves its lane crossing two solid white lines and veering into the adjacent cycle lane before correcting and returning to the original lane whilst maintaining speed. A link to a clip of the incident can be found below: https://vimeo. Com/731422280/c39fc14a23.

My 2021 Tesla Model 3 has various issues with the auto pilot feature. When engaged the car makes sudden and abrupt stops while driving. This has happened various times while driving on the freeway when there were no obstructions present. The autopilot feature also prompts to change to the right lane, when dismissed the prompt appears again repeatedly. This is repeated throughout the drive and poses a major distraction. There was supposed to be an “over-the-air” correction but my vehicle has never received the software update.

The vehicle will randomly slam on its brakes while traveling when autopilot or even just regular cruise control is engaged. We will be traveling 85 mph and the car will randomly hit the brakes and drop down to 65 mph in about 2-5 seconds. There are no other vehicles in front, but can sometimes be behind. It is extremely dangerous and could cost people their lives. These kinds of incidents will happen 15-20 times on a 150 mile road trip of all freeway driving.

This defect affects the lane departure warning system of my vehicle. In certain situations, the lane departure warning system incorrectly activates when the vehicle is turning (vs. Leaving a lane). On one occasion, the system activated while turning from my driveway onto the adjacent roadway. On another occasion, the system activated while leaving a parking spot. On both occasions, the vehicle was traveling less than 5 mph and was not departing from a lane. When the lane departure warning activates, a loud noise is triggered, along with an alert on the center display. A driver's natural response in this scenario is to slow down mid-turn, potentially resulting in unsafe conditions for both driver and nearby motorists.

System: traffic aware cruise control safety risk: full regenerative breaking in the fast lane on a highway with a car following behind. Car behind had to initiate emergency braking. Reproduced by dealer: did not contact dealer inspected by manufacturer: did not contact manufacturer warnings: no, braking automatically initiated system: lane departure warning safety risk: misreading a parking garage and initiating lane departure warning chime reproduced by dealer: did not contact dealer inspected by manufacturer: did not contact manufacturer warnings: yes, warning chime initiated and warning message.

The screen on my Tesla fails routinely (everyday) while driving and then reboots after about 3 minutes. This happens abruptly with no warning. Tesla has told me (verbally) that it was reproduced in their service location in palo alto. During this time, I have no idea of my speed or any other vehicle status, such as lane keeping, collision warning, navigation, heating, etc. I have tried to remedy this issue with Tesla service repeatedly over two months, and the interactions have been unsatisfactory. Tesla does not seem to appreciate the potential seriousness of this issue and the risk to ourselves and others. Tesla service at sunnyvale, CA, encouraged me to continue driving, even though I pointed out the risk of "driving blind". My family is very wary of this vehicle now.

On 1/3/21, approximately 2pm. Driving south on I-77 in the city of broadview heights. In center lane of highway with autopilot (speed and steering only) on. A hummer in my left lane drifts into my lane and hits my car (I have video). No alarms or alerts went off to warn me. No automatic steering occurred. My car continued in lane and at speed (about 64mph), until my driver mirror broke off and adjusted my position to the left. Broadview height police report # [xxx]. I have a service request into Tesla. I am awaiting the at-fault party insurance to contact me to begin repair process. To above questions: -I am suspicious about the ultrasonic sensors and/or camera and it failure to warn me I was about to be hit. -I was hit on my driver's side by a car that was not detected by my Tesla -I have a service request made to Tesla, awaiting response -no inspections or diagnostics have been performed yet by Tesla -no warning occurred. I am very familiar with the warning my car can produce: things like drifting out of my lane; someone in front of me braking hard; or autopilot applying brakes when it thinks a car is in front of me (when it's actually on a curved road). Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The car was on fsd jerked right toward a semi truck then jerked left toward the posts in the median as it was accelerating and fsd would not turn off. Was trying to control the car but it kept pushing and accelerating causing us to crash in to the median posts. Normally fsd would turn off if it was unsure but this day it would not. Plus other times it would phantom brake if we were on 2 lane road and met on oncoming large truck. We also had other times of phantom braking going over a hill. We have reported this to Tesla but no response yet. We owned this car 11 days when our wreck happened.

Tesla changed the entire user interface with their software update to version 11. I believe that this software update will cause vehicle accidents since they removed quick access to critical features and replaced them with entertainment apps. As the driver of the vehicle I do not need quick access to video games / streaming services, and more importantly I should not have to go through several screens to access key functions like the window defrosters. Tesla removed quick access to the defrosters, the wiper controls, the seat heaters and tire pressure. Even the music player now causes driver distraction. This new update is an accident waiting to happen and is geared toward entertainment instead focusing on a safe driving experience. The windows that pop up on the screen even block critical features like wiper blade control. Tesla claims that since they removed the buttons for wipers and defrosters that I could use the voice command but with this new update the voice command feature usually crashes. The new icons for user interface a so small that they cause eye strain and make difficult to see the road after checking the screen. The bottom of the screen is stuck in night mode which also causes eye strain. Since this vehicle has no buttons just a touch screen this drastic change to the user interface is a serious safety hazard. Tesla needs to add an actual physical wiper control switch to their vehicles. The automatic wiper mode is defective because Tesla did not install rain sensors on their vehicles. Also the new software has a serious bug where the vehicle disables the safety systems (all cameras and the lane departure warning system). The vehicle safety systems were disabled on 12/26/21 and 12/30/21. I informed Tesla on both occasions and they saw this software flaw in my vehicle computer files. Please make sure that Tesla fixes their vehicle interface before someone crashes from distracted driving/difficulty using the touch screen interface.

When the vehicle's directional is activated, the side camera on the activated side of the directional is activated and displays the blindspot area on the car's center screen. I. E. You want to change lanes and you activate the left directional to signal moving into the left lane, the left side camera activates and displays on the screen what is in the left lane. This is a very handy feature, unfortunately at night the "blinking" of the directional completely blinds the camera. It also completely saturates the center screen with a orange/red light when the directional is blinking. Tesla has fixed this problem with newer vehicles, they have an updated side camera that has a partition in the camera to block the light coming from the directional. Tesla will not replace the earlier side cameras. I was advised by Tesla service to shut off the camera at night. I find this solution to be completely unacceptable as I am accustomed to using the blind spot feature. This is a software/hardware incompatibility/defect and I believe there should be a recall in regards to this issue.

The lane departure assistance in my car was malfunctioning. Yes it is available for inspection if you would like. Today I. E. 10/25/2021, I was driving manually on interstate 5. The car wasn’t on autopilot or cruise control. I was trying to merge into right lane and had my right turn signal on and made sure there was no one in my blind spot. As I was merging there was a warning signal and message displayed on the screen that read something like- lane departing corrective steering applied. The car was trying to pull me back into the lane I was departing from and it was applying sudden brakes to slow me down. I had to apply lot of force to the steering wheel to pull the car into the lane I was trying to merge. It was rush hour traffic and the cars around me were going pretty fast. It was a really dangerous situation and there could have been a big collision if I didn’t apply that force to bring the car into the right lane. There were no warning signs leading up to what happened today. But there was some malfunctioning in my car previously when the car just stopped without any warning on the ramp to my driveway. It’s a steep ramp and the car stopped all of a sudden and would not move. I contacted Tesla service about this and no action was taken whatsoever. I am really concerned about the safety of myself and the drivers around me not knowing what kind of bugs are going to come up in the future. Please take some action to make Tesla responsible for this.

Shortly after purchasing the car it received a software download called emergency lane departure avoidance which is Tesla's fancy name for a lane departure warning system. I have taken the car into their service centers 3 times to have it repaired because it only works <50% of the time - never works during rain, shadows on the road, and various other normal road & weather conditions. Each time I get the car back from the service centers I'm informed that that system is working normally. In late June of 2020 I purchased their basic auto-pilot software system for $2,170 which is a combination of both lane keeping assistance (Tesla's self steering) and adaptive cruise control (Tesla's traffic & road aware cruise control). This software has had "glitches" and malfunctions ever since the purchase. I contacted marie moore (assistant manager at Tesla's bellevue, wa) about the issues and I was told that this software was a "self leaning" type and would improve with use. The first issue was the while driving on the freeway with auto-pilot engaged the car would veer right a few to several feet toward most on & off ramps un-nerving myself & passengers as well as getting close traffic upset enough that I would get honked at or worse. It gradually got better so that it would only veer right significantly less. However on 4/19 my car received a new software download that stated it would improve the auto-pilot & cold weather performance. I drove the car on a 140 mile freeway trip only to discover that the car would radically veer right on ~90% of all on ramps! twice it nearly jerked the steering wheel from my grip and attempted to steer completely off the freeway & onto the on ramp. I made an appointment at the lynnwood, wa service center on 4/26 and was told once again that the car was performing normally & there was nothing they could do; & same with cruise control issues.

I get repeated warnings that the door pillar cameras are blinded. When I check it is condensation between the camera and the pillar glass. They attempted to repair this last year by removing a seal for better air circulation. The problem remains. In cold weather this happens, and it means that any of the automated functions that depend on the cameras can't work correctly or at all. They have no solution. The front camera actually has a defogger in the glass in front of it. Why Tesla can't solve this problem is absurd. This happens while driving on any street or highway and is always the camera facing the sunny side, so moisture is evaporated from around the camera and condenses on the glass, which obscures it.

-multiple times that the screen has gone black while actively driving the car (both on city streets and highway) -episodes where the screen is unresponsive; thus, being unable to use any functions of the car using the touchscreen both while stationary and while driving the car -car not rebooting/resetting despite multiple attempts while stationary -car sounds suddenly being cut off while driving- unable to hear turn signal, gps, etc-and while driving -car/system implements auto-correction measure to reposition the car thinking the car is departing from the lane, when in fact, the car is not swerving or trying to do a lane switch (car is driving in lane on a highway). Due to this faulty system, car has unsafely drifted while in motion and does not let human guidance trump this mechanical error.

Side repeater camera are blurred because of light at night. Cannot see when switching lanes.

Since I purchased this car new in sept 2018, the car has had a "front left safety restraint system fault". It has been fixed over 3 times and it is going for the 4th time now. The car is going out of warranty this year and I am afraid I will be stuck with the bill if it happens again. Even though all the fixes have been free so far, it is an ongoing problem also, the known phantom breaking, just add to the numbers. It is more than common. I almost see it coming when going under overpasses because of the shadow. The computer must see it as an object. I have inquired about the lane departure warning and they keep saying it is just a software issue. If it is activated at any point during the drive, then it says that "lane departure warning" is not long available and may be restored on the next drive.
