1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2025

This is a major safety issue --- we got an error that steering assistance was "reduced" for about 12 hours. Then on [xxx] at around [xxx], we were pulling out of a parked area (after being parked for 2 hours) -- and proceeded to increase speed on [xxx] in newark, the car steering wheel abruptly locked itself - you couldn't even move the steering wheel. It just locked and shut down completely. We proceeded to do a rest (hitting two scroll buttons) to reset the system over 5-6 times. Each time it takes about 10 mins to complete. It was pure horror - sitting on the road with cars just passing by and honking at me behind. I had the hazard lights on, but it was a dangerous situation. I was completely stuck and immobile. After some time, the steering wheel "magically" started working again. We've dropped the Tesla off at springfield and they are charging us over $6,000 in damages for this. This is a safety issue (we bought the car in March of 2024) and it's only been 15 months since we've had this used car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2024

Tesla updated my vehicle with fsd 12. 5. 2. 1 and it is dangerous and should be recalled. The software is too much for my vehicles processor, it frequently freezes for as long as 10 seconds. This loses my speedometer, my signal information, and happened while merging and nearly caused me an accident. The lane keep assist has retrograded significantly, it often goes outside of the painted lines and is in danger of hitting curbs. The processor feels like it struggles to keep up, and the auto steer is unsettled and jerky as it changes its mind. Previous software worked great, Tesla is pushing the software beyond the hardwares capabilities and it’s going to cause accidents. Please stop them.

3 Assist problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2021

We received the full self-driving beta software from Tesla this week. How NHTSA has permitted Tesla to enable this software for use on public streets is mind-blowing. It is that dangerous! do the public a favor and go drive a Tesla with fsd enabled. You can read my full comments on our blog: https://nerdvittles.
