Warnings problems of the 2023 Tesla Model X

On [xxx], at approximately [xxx], I was driving my 2023 Tesla Model X to the macy's at bellevue square, bellevue, wa, with full self-driving (supervised) engaged. The navigation system routed incorrectly to Lincoln square instead of bellevue square, and the vehicle proceeded into the Lincoln square underground parking garage while still in fsd mode. The vehicle briefly stopped at the parking entrance gate where the barrier arm is, then suddenly accelerated at full speed toward a wall — breaking through the barrier arm and colliding with the wall. I attempted to cancel fsd and pressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not disengage and did not stop. I heard no forward collision warning of any kind — no audible alert ever sounded. I was not watching the display, so I cannot say whether any visual warning appeared, and I am not aware of any automatic emergency braking engagement or obstacle-aware acceleration intervention. To my knowledge the vehicle has not been repaired and can be made available for inspection upon request. The malfunction put occupant and bystander safety at serious risk: sudden unintended full acceleration inside an enclosed parking garage with an unresponsive brake pedal, destruction of the gate barrier, collision with a wall, and bone fractures of the neck and lower back sustained by both the driver and the passenger, requiring medical treatment. To my knowledge, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. A police report was filed. The vehicle has [not yet / been] inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. There were no warning sounds of any kind prior to the failure, and I observed no warning lamps or messages. The first indication of the problem was the sudden acceleration and impact itself. The forward collision warning setting was turned on at the time; no alert of any kind ever sounded. I am working to preserve the dashcam footage with audio, which information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act.

My 2023 Tesla Model X began experiencing safety-related failures immediately after a Tesla software update. Right after the update, the vehicle’s cameras stopped functioning correctly and gps/navigation also stopped working properly. Since that point, subsequent Tesla software updates have failed to install successfully. Tesla diagnosed the issue as requiring replacement of the hw4 computer at my expense for approximately $4,500 because the vehicle is just outside warranty. I believe this may be a safety defect or a software-induced hardware failure because the malfunction began immediately after Tesla’s software update and affects safety-relevant vehicle functions, including camera-related visibility systems and vehicle localization. My VIN does not show an open recall, but this vehicle previously received completed Tesla software recall remedies related to camera/hw4 issues. I am filing this complaint because Tesla should investigate whether this failure is related to a broader hw4 defect pattern, software update defect, or inadequate recall scope. I am requesting investigation of failures involving camera function, gps malfunction, and repeated software update failure after an over-the-air Tesla update.

Subject: urgent adas issue: ui_a114 error in Teslas with eap/fsd in east oahu I'm reporting a critical, location-specific safety concern affecting Teslas with enhanced autopilot or full self-driving in east oahu, particularly when heading westbound. This widespread issue, known as error ui_a114, disables all advanced driver assistance systems (adas) without warning. It impacts essential safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and emergency braking, presenting significant risks. Tesla support in honolulu acknowledges this as a multi-year issue among east oahu Tesla owners with eap/fsd, regardless of activation status. This suggests a software-related problem or environmental interaction unique to this region, necessitating urgent investigation and resolution to ensure driver and public safety. Further details are provided in the attached pdf. Your attention and action on this matter are crucial.

The windshield wipers, which are automatic only do absolutely nothing when it is raining. The only thing I can do is hit a button on the steering wheel each time I need the wipers to clear the windshield. Tesla claims is it working as intended. . . Which apparently is not at all. When it began raining the last time I drove the car, it was nighttime and I had to stop in the middle of the road because the car gets overwhelmed when you hit the wiper button too many times in a row and it stops wiping entirely. This is very unsafe. And here is the much worse issue. The automatic emergency braking triggers randomly all the time. If there is a shadow across the road, it might slam on the brakes. If there is an overpass, it might slam on the brakes. If there is nothing in front of you on a perfectly straight freeway with no other vehicles around, it might slam on the brakes out of nowhere. I just drove this car 60 miles today and had 6 braking events where it went from 60-70 mph to 30 mph or less. A few of these incidents happened with cars directly behind me. This car is going to cause me to be injured when it suddenly stops for no reason and a driver behind me cannot react in time. It needs to be recalled or taken off the road. One of the braking events was so sudden and harsh that the tires squealed for a moment. Also, this is my 4th Tesla. The first three had none of these issues. The latest one is dangerous to the point that I am not comfortable driving it anymore.
