Tesla's fsd functions slowly has been reduced in the last years. Firts Tesla disabled the double pull function, resulted taken away the standard cruise control function. Lately, the fully paid ($12000) fsd is not recognizing streetsigns anymore, which worked perfectly before. This function is crucial to manage speeds, lanes, pedestrians and school zones or just attend in public roads! Tesla service center refuses to fix this issue or offer any additional solutions! this is very concerning and those vehicles with full fsd are not safe to operate on public roads anymore! thank you.

Failure Date: 08/30/2024

Tesla’s “autosteer” function inexplicably and suddenly shifted lanes and sideswiped the other car that was passing me on the right. This defect of the “autosteer” function took control of the steering of the car, even with my two hands on the wheel. I do not know why the Tesla suddenly shifted in the intersection or, more importantly, why it did not detect the other car. I did see the other car approaching before the Tesla swerved into it. I wanted to remain in the left lane because it was the correct and safest thing to do. There were no obstacles ahead of me, and the left lane continued normally.

I took Tesla to arbitration over defects and deceptive practices and their legal representative committed fraud by playing my own dashcam video and muting it so you couldn’t hear the auditory warnings the car makes when it makes errors. In this case the car was driving itself into oncoming traffic and stopping on the highway for non existent stop signs. I have reported this to the florida bar and florida state attorney office ashley moody who is now investigating.

I've had enhanced autopilot since June 24 2022. Since that time I've accumulated approximately 15,000 miles, with approximately 80% bing auto pilot miles. On may 14th my car was upgraded to "full self driving (supervised)" without my concent. I was given 30 days of fsd trial, with no way to opt out. I was presented with a software upgrade that looked like a normal upgrade, however after the upgrade I was told I had fsd. I immediately disabled fsd, only enabling autopilot (highway only), and attempted a drive from fairfield, CA to concord CA along I-680. During the drive, the car was not able to maintain lane control, and would suddenly apply hard braking randomly. On two occasions the car accelerated towards stopped traffic, and I had to disengage autopilot. I ended up manually driving the car as it was unsafe to use to assistive systems. I contacted Tesla, who said they where unable to remove the fsd trial, and I was stuck with the upgrade, even though it made the car unsafe to drive.

Two incidents: 1) non-accident: my wife was slowing to make a right turn at a stop light and the steering locked up for about 3 seconds, where she wasn't able to regain manual steering control. We did not have full self-driving mode at the time. Luckily, she was only going about 10 mph, and was able to brake before running into oncoming traffic. 2) accident: our son was driving on a country road, along a section with a slight curve. We had a free trial for full self-driving mode during the previous month, but it ended two weeks before the accident, so he could not have had it in self-driving mode. It appears that he didn't make the curve, but as evidenced by a single long tire skid mark, continued almost perfectly straight, across the oncoming lane, and ran into a redwood tree. The car rolled and ended up upside down, against the bank back on the right side of the road, with the lithium batteries on fire. Our son and his passenger sustained severe injuries and neither has a memory of what caused the accident. Naturally we suspect the possibility that the steering locked up again. But it also seems likely that the aeb and abs were not functioning correctly, as if they were, there should have been several short skid marks for the tires on both sides of the car, rather than only a single long skid mark. Additionally, there's no shoulder on that road, and there is a clump of bushes that come very close to the white line, so it's possible that a steering auto-correct initiated the incident. We have not yet been able to recover edr or log data from the vehicle.

7 Assist problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2024

The front triple camera glass was found to be dirty on the interior part of the glass. I had alerts of camera blocked/blinded and also I had several instances of emergency corrective maneuvers including braking, lane assists and forward collision warnings. Tesla cleaned the interior of part of the glass.

8 Assist problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2024

Unwanted lane assistance in Tesla Model Y made the car swerve to side. When I tried correcting it, the steering got hard to control and whole car swirled 360 degrees and hit shoulder rail. Brakes didn’t slow the car.

9 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2024

I am using full self driving (fsd). When I look at my screen to control the cars map it gives me a strike. I have 5 strikes it removes fsd but also removed auto pilot that has lane centering and also removes the camera so if I were to have a stroke, tonic-clonic seizure, or heart attack or for any other issue the vehicle would not pull over like it would in fsd/auto pilot. This makes it very unsafe and I could argue it violates the ada act! for privacy I have had one of the previous issues and bought the Tesla with fsd just in case it ever happens again!!! now I don't have that safety measure for a week and I drive a lot on two lane 75 mph highways. The basic lane assist will even shut off if I hug the lane !! how dangerous is that???? now I have absolutely no safety features!.

Failure Date: 12/25/2023

Due to NHTSA recall number 23v-838, the car has become more dangerous than before. Often making me apply more force on the wheel when constantly alerting me which has inadvertently made me swerve into oncoming lanes. Not only has this mandatory recall made the autopilot experience much worse, but it seems highly politicized by the previous leader of nhsta and should be reinvestigated. This is such a failure of over regulation over biased leadership and should not be tolerated.

11 Assist problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2023

Ever since a recent update to my car, it has become far more difficult to keep the adas features active. It is incredibly intrusive, even just glancing at the screen to see what message it's telling me leads to the car threatening to cut off all driver assistance features. This is so dangerous. The car is a better driver on the highway than I am. It is better at holding speed, it never veers out of its lane, and it never misses someone attempting to impinge on my lane. I think something needs to be done to make this system more lenient. It used to be better but something changed in late December. People in other cars seem to be able to stare at their telephones with impunity while their car continues on without any issues. All I want is to be able to glance away from the road to see what the screen is trying to tell me.

Failure Date: 12/20/2023

To whom it may concern at the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA), I am writing to urgently express my concerns about the latest software update for the Tesla Model Y’s autopilot system, which, in my view, significantly compromises safety. As a Model Y owner for over two years, I have generally found the vehicle and its features to be reliable and safe. However, the recent update has introduced an overly stringent hands-on-wheel detection mechanism that is not only inconvenient but also potentially hazardous. The new update requires frequent and often forceful interaction with the steering wheel to assure the system of driver presence. This change is drastically different from my previous experience, where I received only one hands-on-wheel violation in two years. The current sensitivity of the system disrupts the smooth operation of the autopilot, leading to frequent and abrupt disengagements. I have found myself struggling to maintain the system’s activation, inadvertently causing the vehicle to exit autopilot mode multiple times. This issue goes beyond mere inconvenience; it actively detracts from driving safety. The need for constant and sometimes aggressive adjustments to satisfy the system’s requirements is distracting and can lead to erratic vehicle behavior. The irony is stark: a system designed to enhance driving safety and ease is now a source of potential danger and stress. The unpredictability and over-sensitivity of the updated system could lead to dangerous situations, especially on highways or in heavy traffic, where sudden disengagement of the autopilot can be particularly risky. As a driver, I now find myself more focused on keeping the autopilot engaged than on the actual driving conditions and surroundings, which is surely contrary to the feature’s intended purpose. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this situation and cancel the recall.

15 Assist problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2023

I was driving at 64 mph utilizing the adaptive cruise control and autosteer (beta). I was in the first of a two lane divided highway with no vehicles within 1000 feet in front of me and several cars passing me on my left. Fortunately, I had both hands on the wheel at the 10 and 2 positions and have good arm strength. Suddenly, abruptly and violently the car took over the steering and braking swerving to the left about a foot or so then applying the brakes hard while simultaneously turning the front wheels about 65 degrees to the right. I believe another vehicle without the Tesla's low center of gravity would surly have rolled over. I was now heading across the breakdown lane towards the guardrail. With great effort I took over control of the steering just 1-2 feet from the guardrail pulling hard left and pressing down on the accelerator (to release the brakes) causing a second roll over feeling. I then turned right to straighten the car out and continued down the highway in the same lane without contacting any objects. I felt the violent nature of the swerving in my lower back and left arm. The car did not want to release the steering to me. I have no evidence other than the experience of my wife and me. I was coming off a white concrete bridge deck with a slight left curve without any lane markings. At the moment of the incident the bridge deck was covered with a large area of black tar. I believe these two factors caused the car to go into some kind of avoidance maneuver. I also believe a lesser capable driver may have been killed.

I was driving my Tesla Model Y on the highway and suddenly the steering wheel turn 90 degrees and crash my driver side with the back of the car in the lane to the right. The night before the accident there was a system update for the car. No warning were made by the car.

17 Assist problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2023

I was driving south bound on hwy90 at about 78mph using navigate on autopilot. Without warning the car swerved into a left turn lane and then slammed on the brakes when the turn lane came to an end. This caused a number of personal belongings to be damaged. Thus happened as I was on my way home from a service center visit that stated the autopilot systems were all functioning correctly. Tesla was notified immediately a d has not responded to my complaints.

18 Assist problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2023

There was an update last night on my Tesla Model Y. I've noticed two episodes of phantom breaking after this update this morning when I was driving to work. There was a truck in the next lane but the car hit the brakes all of a sudden on the highway when the autopilot was on active. It was at a curve on the highway. I'm assuming the car thought that the truck was moving into my lane leading to sudden activation of brakes. This could have been dangerous. Fortunately there was nobody behind me and we were safe.

19 Assist problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2023

When I drive a Tesla Model Y under self-driving mode at night inside yellowstone np, there is another car on the opposite side with a high beam turned on, and just near that car there is a bison on the road, the self-driving computer fails to detect the bison in the beginning, and too late to do emergency break, the car hit the bison after passing that car. The bison died but driver is safe, the front right head light part and right repeater camera was missing. It's very hard to see the bison in the dark when the other car turns on the high beam, for both humans and cameras, the self-driving without radar or lidar is not able to detect the obstacle at the blind spot. I want to report this accident as a reference, the car's self-driving software helped me avoid serious injury. The Tesla fsd(full self-driving or autopilot) is great but I still hope there's more sensor such as radar or lidar can be added to the car for better night vision self-driving. The car deemed a total loss and there is a video from the front dash cam record how this accident happen.

A copy of this report is being submitted to the fbi, cia, doj, my attorney and then I'm mailing it via usps to my attorney general ashley moody which responded to me about this car about a year ago saying she would investigate it. Yesterday my wife and I drove to chevy and put a deposit on a new gasoline SUV. On the way back all the safety features disabled themselves and the car radio played "break the rules". Today I drove to wawa to report my wife almost dying from being poisoned and on the way back the car in autopilot mode sped up towards an officer with his lights on and high visibility vest so I had to slam the brakes and move over at the last second and the Tesla didn't see the officer until he was 10 feet away and wrongly displayed the cops passenger door being open. I would never drive towards an officer like that if I was in control of the car thats the faulty software. On my way back from Ford to the mister car wash in eustis to get the love bugs off the paint again I took the Tesla cam thumbdrive out, took out the micro sd from my dashcam, turned off my iphone with the Tesla app on it and used autopilot to drive the scenic route to the carwash to avoid traffic. Then the car started playing the songs "middle of the ocean" which lyrics encourage you to drive your car into the ocean; then started playing "swim good" and then "golddigger by kanye west" the car disabled all its own safety features despite them still being turned on in the settings which would have allowed me to drive my Tesla off a cliff into lake eustis just like that brain surgeon in California when his white Model Y drove him and his family off a cliff luckily they survived. I uploaded the video to my ig @aquaponics_guy which is currently banned for "using like increasing software" which is funny because I'm the only one that likes my posts but now I cant even like my own post. I have video evidence and screen recordings of everything I just said. As I type this the computer keeps stoppin.

Less than 2 minutes into my drive the car decided to disable lane keep assistance and warnings for no reason. As you can see in the photo linked below the vehicles in the oncoming lane are lagging and look kind of like a ghost car while the rest of the screen is totally fine. Well all I did was switch from the middle lane to the left lane like I do everyday with my indicator on, on my way to mcdonalds. Absolutely no reason why this happened like I mentioned I had my indicator on nobody was around me and visibility is perfect. . Read more...

For the last 8 months I've been reporting this fatal error where my Tesla in fsd with location set will slow down all the way to 0mph in a 70mph zone on the expressway for a stop sign and round about under the highway that is not visible by any of the cameras the car is supposedly using to 'read the environment' well that's a load of crap because its stopping for non existent stop signs and driving 57mph in a 70mph zone and misses several speed signs in the video. Biggest mistake Tesla ever made was not hiring me. Tesla has amateur's and liars that will do anything for an extra buck even if it means killing you and your family with a car that was put together by robots and slaves with your tax dollars. Zero ethics. When elon says "may the 4th be with you" he really means "I hope you get killed by the dumptruck behind you while I slam the brakes on the highway". Modern day techno-hitler. .

Once again I caught on video my car trying to suicide me (a jeffrey epstein (not a typo I'm in fear for my life) witness) by turning off all safety features and attempting to drive me directly into oncoming traffic. Tesla has refused to repair or replace my car. They have done everything they can to prevent me from getting service for months. Reschedule after reschedule, 'we cant reproduce the problem' and 'the car is fixed' after recording them doing nothing on hidden camera for 3 days besides unplugging my dashcam after I told them on my ig that I was recording them and they agreed because its clearly posted on the door used to enter and unplug the camera. This is racketeering, tampering with a witness and attempted murder not to mention conspiracy to defraud the us government with false advertisements to convince blind and corrupt politicians to give elon another round of government subsidies even though co2 isn't the problem, methane is! as you can see in the video the cars path is stuck in the ":kill yourself with oncoming traffic" mode. Its a feature that is activated on my Tesla way more than I have video evidence like this to prove it. . Read more...

Failure Date: 03/13/2023

This isn't another case of the auto pilot being engaged and the driver not paying attention. I was driving, in the rain, on a normal road surface, with both hands on the wheel. The car attempted to steer away and out of my lane when there wasn't an obstacle or any other hazard near me. My hand went from the 10 and 2 o'clock positions to the 11 and 3 o'clock position before it straightened back out. Because of this abrupt movement that the car made, the rear end of the car lost traction and spun around on me before the car came to a stop. Fortunately, no one else was hit during this accident. By looking at the dashcam video, the car does show brakes were applied before spinning out of control but this wasn't by my input. I feel that the car made a descision for me that I had no control of. The car was not on auto pilot but yet still steered for me. Accident report indicates no issues with road surface, no speeding, and no citations.

Failure Date: 01/22/2023

Driving in autopilot, the vehicle steered itself to the left into a barrier with no warning.

26 Assist problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2023

I have experience multiple instances of "phantom braking" where the car suddenly brakes when there is nothing in front of the car. The most concerning incidents are when traveling on interstate highways while autopilot is engaged. The car will brake suddenly, rapidly, and unexpectedly. I experienced this problem that first day I picked up the vehicle and continue to experience the problem on extended interstate drives of several hours. The car is available for inspection upon request. The biggest safety concern is that a closely following car could rear end the rapidly braking Model Y. Another concern is that the car could loose control on ice or snow while rapidly braking. Despite three requests, Tesla has declined to inspect the vehicle. During these incidences, none of the cameras have indicated that they were obscured nor were any other warnings indicated that I am aware of.

27 Assist problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2023

Driving both east and west on 429 near the wekiva river results in the car coming to a complete 0mph stop in a 70mph two lane highway with barriers on both sides and no signs or lights. Then the car starts changing lanes on the highway going about 15mph while cars are whipping past me at 70+mph with the horn on. The last 8 or 10 updates have not solved this issue I've been very alarmed and done everything in my power to avoid using the software and have demanded a refund many times, this is simply a deadly scam. The fsd contract is a license to kill and silence your attempts to alert the public like a good samaritan; it must be shut down until proven safe. Each time they say they fixed it, each time I go out and risk my life and they lie, and lie and lie and now the stories of people dying from this exact scenario are starting to pile up (pun intended). The car is still confusing its sea level or altitude positioning on the gps for the round about with stop signs below the sunpass highway. Fact of the matter is I have over 15,000 gb's of footage and there are hundreds if not thousands of scenarios where the car needs to be corrected. I am a professional driver and have software development experience but we cannot allow a private corporation to use human american citizens as lab rats and throw them aside when their software that is not safe yet kills the very people trying to improve the system. Not to mention innocent by standards who have never seen the inside of a Tesla nevermind an arbitration contract. This is all completely unethical. Windows havent been fixed after recall despite recalibrating windows, 2 software updates and restarting the car all as recommended. Cheap paint scratches, chips. Plastic snaps, upholstery loosens. .

I've reported to Tesla multiple times that on state road 46 Tesla auto pilot and fsd both come to complete stops on the highway while the speed limit is clearly posted 70mph the car is showing 45mph, ap is driving at 50mph then comes to a complete stop 0mph on the highway while traffic is doing 70+ passing me because the car thinks there is a stop sign that doesn't exist. When I spoke to Tesla about it the male tech (british accent) from tampa service center said that's highly concerning and he would take the car home overnight to make sure they didn't overlook anything but they did nothing other than take away my fsd. Now I'm out $12,000 and Tesla keeps calling me a cheater/liar and I have many examples of the car malfunctioning and we are not talking a little glitch this is fully stopped on a highway the car is trying to drive around a roundabout that isn't there because the car thinks its 30ft below the highway on the street below. I've told Tesla multiple times while I was under consideration as ai engineer that they need to include the gps altitude otherwise this exact example will happen; but what do I know, I'm just a guy with software development experience and a professional driver who just happens to be heavily invested in gps crypto. The highway has been opened for months, I've reported it to Tesla for months. Here's yet another example from today about 3 hours ago. This is like the 7th or 8th time I've reported fatal issues with the ap/fsd program Tesla can no longer gaslight me with excuses. This car has had more attempts on my life than all the countries of the world tried on hitler combined and I'm guilty of nothing so I don't understand why Tesla has taken my money and treated me as a delusional idiot since day one. .

New update came out and they took some of my advice; however, the problem got worse. I had an appointment at a new dealership 1 hour away and they ask me to see if I can replicate the issue and send them a video of it (yikes this is getting very dangerous) so on my way to the service appointment I do as I'm asked but the car keeps malfunctioning saying "cheater detected" and I'm driving with my hands on the wheel with my dashcam on and iphone with camera open ready to just grab it for the picture. I send it to them and try to use fsd again. It malfunctions again, says I'm a cheater twice in five minutes. At this time I'm unaware of what a "cheater" even is other than the traditional term. I get to the dealership and the car pops up with a window says "full self driving has been removed due to constant ignoring of the blah blah blah". I tell the Tesla employee what happened he immediately says there' nothing he can do he cant fix it and I can't get my money back. I got all of this on dashcam and audio fyi. I come back the next day, the second I get out of the car and my foot hits Tesla pavement a Tesla employee is harassing me to move my car except its the uber Tesla paid for me to come pick up my car, side note the guy next to him has a huge handgun on his hip, what a safe feeling welcome. . . The guy inside tells me what cheaters are, I look it up on youtube. Basically its a wrist weight people attach to the steering wheel to trick the car. I don' own anything like that the car was confusing it with my apple watch which I told Tesla and was promptly updated to the car in 24 hours. So now I'm driving a car I paid $12,000 for fsd that has driven me into coming traffic many times and calls me a cheater until it steals my $12,000 like some sort of horror arcade game. Now the car only has auto pilot which also calls me a cheater so its all un-useable. I have heard every excuse in the book from Tesla. Now they want to start charging me $110 to have the autopilot looked at.

I was driving with my wife and two kids at around 8:30pm (it was dark outside already) on November 29, 2022. The street was pretty empty and it had 2 lanes in each direction. I was driving the left lane with the speed at about 40 mph and had the autopilot (the one that keeps lane, not fsd) turned on. When the car was approaching the intersection with the green light on, it suddenly decided to turn left (even though there was a dedicated left turning pocket on the left hand side). It looks like it was confused and after trying to change the direction it pointed the car right to the road sign. Hopefully I had my hands on a wheel and was watching the situation, so I immediately turned the wheel right to get back to our lane. If I wasted a fraction of second we could end up smashing into the road sign at about 40mph.

Failure Date: 11/29/2022

Vehicle is approximately 9 months old with 13,488 miles. Starting today, the cruise control system which includes the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist features has failed. It will not activate, and attempts to activate it result in an error stating "cruise control unavailable. " as a result, the car will not brake as it approaches other vehicles; will not maintain its speed; and will not maintain its lane. I made an appointment with the manufacturer's service center to have it inspected and repaired, but the manufacturer cancelled the appointment the same day it was made stating, in writing, that it is a "known issue," "replacing any component will not rectify the issue," and instead it "should be rectified in a future firmware update" without any time frame as to when. I asked is there is a service bulletin or recall notice and was advised that "specifics" cannot be provided "unless otherwise authorized. ".

On 11/17/2022 about 6pm when I drive on highway I -5 from san diego to irvine, I am driving in the middle of the lane, the car keeps on going to the left and almost hitting the wall when I was on the left lane. I moved to the third lane and the car tried to do the same thing. At one point I lost the control of the car and it suddenly changed to the lane on my left. Fortunately there is no car on my left at that time. I used basic cruise control at that time, not auto pilot . I have lane departure avoidance on at that time, not sure what's going on. The girl I carpool with said the lanes displayed in the screen is very clear. After I got off the highway, we checked the front camera and it is clean. My husband turned off lane departure avoidance function and restarted the pc of Tesla. We drove in the highway again and Tesla behavior is normal.

I've brought the car into the dealership 3 times and they swear they have gone over the whole car and there are no issues with the car but at the first stop light next to the dealership the car starts driving into oncoming traffic which I recorded on dashcam. The car keeps phantom braking (braking for no reason) swerving towards concrete barriers and brick walls, driving into oncoming traffic on roads its navigated before in the same and different conditions. Just yesterday the indicator noises stopped working so I was forced to reset the car while driving my whole family, this is very dangerous and far too common. I have been harassed by Tesla employees who refuse to find any solution. I have been requesting a refund for fsd since the week I bought the car. This is a huge scam and cover up and when you post videos of your car trying to kill you on twitter or ig (post elon) they shadow ban you. It is against their agenda. Don't believe the lies this is like enron x 1,000. Ftx is nothing compared to the theft and deciet happening at Tesla.

35 Assist problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2022

After my 3rd trip to Tesla service (required 1 month wait each time I've had this problem since the first week) I video and audio recorded the Tesla service team dropping my car off in an overflow lot for 2 and a half days before unplugging my dashcam on the 3rd day. 8 hours later I'm at the dealership and they tell me and I quote "left turns isn't a feature of fsd, just try not to use it anymore. By the way, they unplugged your camera. We found nothing wrong with your car after reviewing one whole day of footage, your cars out front. " then I get to the car and plug my dashcam back in immediately and the master key for all the Teslas is in my car (last time the same manager left their phone in my car and harassed me for hours while I was driving). Then I return the key to the manager on video, leave the parking lot, set my home destination, turn on fsd (full self driving) and less than one mile away at the first turn the fsd makes it drives into oncoming traffic. This is probably the tenth time it has happened and I drive my family and passengers in this car so having to constantly bring it in and be told it has no problems after 10 total days in the shop has opportunity cost me between $2,500-$5,000 in lost revenue plus the intentional emotional infliction by gaslighting me the customer for basically not just letting my car kill me and other innocent people who didn't opt into beta. Elon wants a war with apple about censorship whenever I post videos of my Tesla driving into oncoming traffic on twitter because Tesla wont fix it after months (or return my $12,000) it gets banned. Same company different boss, now they censor evidence of Teslas malfunctioning and say you're imagining it lol. You want a war, fine. I have 5,000 gigabytes of dashcam footage with over 1,000 witnesses (passengers). Now they tell me they cant service my car without evidence being submitted but the app is blocking me from submitting photos and they deleted my job applications on Tesla os.
