Assist problems of the 2022 Tesla Model X

My 2022 Tesla Model X has two recurring safety-critical defects that remain unresolved despite multiple repair attempts. 1. Airbag / restraint system failure (rcm2 / OCS defect): the vehicle frequently misclassifies the front passenger seat. It shows a passenger when the seat is empty and activates passenger seatbelt warnings incorrectly. Recently the vehicle displayed: “front passenger safety restraint system issue: service required (rcm2_a064). ” Tesla attempted to repair an electrical harness in the seat, but the problem returned. A Tesla technician documented that the seat may still need a new occupancy sensor. Because this affects the occupant classification system and airbag deployment logic, it raises potential fmvss 208 compliance concerns. 2. Fsd / gps safety hazard (5 unsuccessful repair attempts): across five service visits, Tesla attempted to fix gps drift and unsafe fsd routing. The vehicle still attempts incorrect turns, performs premature lane changes, and misinterprets intersections. One recent incident involved fsd attempting a left turn one intersection early, nearly causing a collision. Tesla replaced the gps antenna, recalibrated cameras, and replaced the computer, but the unsafe behavior continues. These two defects—incorrect airbag/OCS behavior and hazardous automated-driving/navigation behavior—create a significant safety risk to occupants and other drivers. Both defects persist after repair attempts. I can provide service records, videos, and documentation upon request.

While driving on an 80 mph speed limit, 2-lane interstate in a rural area, the vehicle's "traffic aware" cruise control was enabled. The driver attempted to pass a semi-truck on left while the road was curving to the left. The vehicle's emergency lane keep assist appeared to engage causing the vehicle to swerve toward the semi-truck. The driver corrected back to the left, when doing so the power steering system failed causing the driver to apply significant force to the steering to avoid a collision. For the next 12 miles of driving the power steering never engaged and turning required significant force. While charging at a supercharger the error on the dashboard stating that power steering was not available persisted. Upon departure the error message went away and the power steering worked again. The manufacturer was contacted as the vehicle was under warranty. It was determined that no repair was needed after the power steering once again began to work, but the failure created a significant risk to the five vehicle occupants at the time of failure.

While driving my 2022 Model X in full self driving beta the vehicle suddenly took a sharp right into another vehicle causing damage to both no one was severely injured. At the time of the incident I was traveling at 40mph which was the designated speed for that area. I had a passenger in the vehicle that can verify the incident.
