1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2026

The vehicle was delivered with a critical safety defect in the braking system and inoperable safety software (gps/fsd/navigation). Upon further inspection by the dealer's own technician, it was confirmed that the vehicle had 'extremely poor brake feel' and 'extreme rust build up' on all pads and rotors, which violated Tesla’s 6mm minimum safety standard for used vehicles. Additionally, a physically damaged windshield harness caused the failure of gps and fsd features. These defects posed a significant safety risk to myself and my family during operation. The dealer has documented and confirmed these safety issues but is now refusing a buyback and is retaliating with storage fees for my rejection of the unsafe product. No warning lights appeared prior to the technician's discovery of the brake defects.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2026

I got into my car two days ago and the computer screen was black. I have tried everything to reset it, holding down both scroll wheels with the brake pressed for up to 2 minutes, unplugging the low voltage battery overnight and plugging it back in, and even doing the hard reset at the disconnect under the rear passenger seats and my computer will not turn on. I can't see any information about my speed or how much charge I have, I can't turn on climate controls and it's the middle of winter and I live in the mountains of colorado. I can't even open my glove box without the screen. From everything I read, it sounds like an mcu failure, my vehicle has the newer mcu2. Tesla quoted about $800 for a tow and it sounds like the replacement costs could be $2500+.

Failure Date: 12/13/2025

The car stopped in a busy freeway saying electric issue and doesn’t give sufficient time to drive to shoulder. This is the 2nd time this happened within 2 weeks. First time, Tesla said high voltage controller had an internal issue with voltage sensing. The hv controller was replaced along with pyrotechnic fuse. Tesla assured this shouldn’t repeat and it repeated again. This has kept us in a catastrophic situation. I request immediate attention to this error and matter.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2025

To the national highway traffic safety administration, I am filing a formal complaint regarding a dangerous safety defect in the 2021 Tesla Model Y. On December 2, 2025 at approximately 4:25 pm, my vehicle suffered a sudden, complete electrical shutdown while I was driving, with no warning and no opportunity to reach safety. Critical details: the vehicle displayed an electrical system message, then instantly powered down. I lost all ability to steer or move the vehicle, which remained immobilized in active traffic. Hazard lights did not function, leaving the vehicle unmarked and invisible to oncoming vehicles. Electronic systems failed, requiring manual release of the driver door. The incident occurred at dusk and blocked the roadway, placing myself and others at significant risk. This failure presented an immediate threat to life and safety. I have since discovered that other Tesla owners have reported similar abrupt electrical or drive-unit shutdowns, suggesting this may represent a broader systemic defect. I am formally requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this issue meets the threshold for a safety recall and whether Tesla’s systems contain a defect capable of causing sudden, uncommanded shutdown while driving. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I am prepared to provide all supporting documentation, including incident details, screenshots, timestamps, and service correspondence.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2025

I have repeatedly had electrical failure in the vehicle in the form of a "reduced power alert" which renders the vehicle with significant limitation to drivability. This places the vehicle in "limp mode" and this frequently occurs on the highway. Once this alert appears the vehicle has limited propulsion, limitations to steering and braking as well as other electrical systems. It has been to the dealership for repair on 4 occasions without remedy. It is leaving us on the highway in a dangerous situation repeatedly. It's not a one time event. There were 20 alerts showing on the screen when I limped it into the dealership once again on [xxx] having nearly wrecked on [xxx] just before the [xxx] exit. The reason this is so dangerous is the failures occur at higher speeds such as highway driving. Leaving one with an immediate loss of forward motion as if you've hit the brakes but vehicles behind you have no warning. This is going to end up with someone getting rear ended or worse. Social media indicates it is a prevalent and not well understood recurring problem. Tesla has been quietly repurchasing vehicles from angry owners. Dreadful.

9 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2025

Hello. I brought my Tesla y to Tesla service local at 7077 w. Sahara av. , las vegas, nv. To fix noise in the breaks on Aug 28, 2025, after that on the same day I went to drive Tesla and I started feeling severe ear pressure, heart pressures, severe body pain from high emf exposure, also severe electric shocks from the floor, seats, back of the seat, wheel, it has been constantly ongoing for already 6 six month since Aug 28, 2025. It’s when ever I am getting inside my car, driving, or just when it’s parked, I feel all that severe pain in the body, severe ear pressure, severe heart pressure, pain in hands, legs from high emf exposure inside Tesla, also electric shocks from the floor, back of the seat, seat, wheel. My Tesla y caused severe damaged t my health. I have all those symptoms and pain only when I am inside the car, when I am not in the car, I don’t feel any pain, and I don’t feel all of those severe symptoms and pain in my body. I have this car from 2024, it was perfectly fine, except that during hot season in vegas, when the temperature is above 80 f, the glass roof got extremely hot, and it burned my head severely despite I cover with sun protector glass roof. But besides that I didn’t have any issues with my Tesla y. Only after I brought my car to Tesla service on Aug 28. 2025, same day Tesla started causing me severe pain from high emf and high voltage causing electric shocks. I contacted local Tesla service many times and tried to address this issues. They didn’t help. I got response from Tesla manager at w. Sahara “ hope it will resolve by itself”:(( no one addressed this issue seriously. I noticed, every time I broght my Tesla y to local Tesla services here in las vegas, the emf exposure and electric shocks became even more extreme, worst like a 100 times more:(( I honestly after these horrific experience with local Tesla services I dont trust those Tesla techs anymore. Please help and conduct high emf and high voltage inspections for my car!.

10 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/19/2025

After installing the most recent Tesla software update, my vehicle immediately displayed multiple alerts: traction control disabled, stability control disabled, and reduced steering assist. Cameras were disabled, navigation was disabled and my vehicle location was wrong. The vehicle lost core safety systems that are critical to safe driving the car functioned normally before the update. Immediately afterward, these safety systems were disabled. Tesla service has since diagnosed and confirmed, they state “an internal short within the drive assistance module (computer). The internal short is causing excessive current draw, resulting in loss of driver assistance features. The latest software has revealed the underlying root issue within the car computer. ” this indicates that the vehicle was operating with a latent defect that Tesla’s diagnostic update exposed. The update did not cause wear-and-tear failure; it surfaced a hidden safety defect inside Tesla’s own hardware. Why this is a safety concern loss of traction control, stability control, and steering assist creates a significant risk of loss of vehicle control. If this had occurred while driving at speed, the sudden loss of these systems could have led to an accident. Attempting a reboot while driving (Tesla’s standard troubleshooting suggestion) would have created further distraction and risk. Luckily when the car catastrophically failed and was unable to turn, I was in my driveway and not on a highway or any other roads.

11 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2025

On July 22, 2025, at about 6:30 pm in a western suburb of illinois, on a hot, humid, sunny evening after my car had sat in direct sun all day, my 2022 Tesla Model Y long range (dual motor awd) suffered a total electrical failure. As I walked up, the car unlocked automatically with my phone key as usual. I placed my dog in the back seat, closed that door, and immediately tried to open the driver’s/front door—but it would not open. The phone key failed, and the backup key card at the b-pillar also failed to unlock the car. I then tried resetting and reconnecting my phone key through the Tesla app, but nothing worked. There were no 12-v or low-voltage warnings on the display or app. I could not find a phone number or live help in the Tesla app; my son and I searched youtube for guidance but could not fix it. My dog was trapped inside in dangerous heat, so I called 911. Police first tried a slim-jim tool without success and then broke the driver’s window to reach in and open the front door, but the rear doors and windows remained inoperative. The dog was in the car for 30 to 45 minutes before the window was broken. Once inside, I found that the front seats would not move forward or backward, none of the windows would not roll down, and the rear doors would not open from inside. It took another 30 to clear enough glass to evacuate my 75-lb dog through the front seats; we both sustained cuts, and I sprained my ankle. The event was traumatic and posed a serious heat-injury risk (~85 °f ambient, interior >110 °f within minutes). Police documented the incident. Tesla service center (naperville IL) later confirmed a 12-v failure as the cause, replaced the 12-v battery with an upgraded model under warranty, and repaired the driver’s window and door trim. Tesla insurance was notified the next morning but closed the claim and covered repairs under warranty. No warnings appeared until the following morning, when a low-voltage alert appeared in my Tesla app when being serviced.

12 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2025

On July 19, 2025 my 10-year old daughter entered the back seat and shut the door. When I (her mother) went to get into the drivers door the electricity in the car completely shut down locking my daughter in the vehicle. There were no visible icons or labels showing where the emergency/manual latch was. She was hystercial and heating up quickly. We called Tesla roadside assistance and the agent spent 10-15 minutes explaining how to get out of a model 3 (we had a Model Y). He then proceeded to tell us that he did not know how to advise her how to get out. He told us not to break the window and to search it on google. When we asked for his name he would not provide it and he displayed hesitation and resistance to connect us with his superior. We explained that he was dealing with a potentially fatal situation and he displayed zero sense of urgency or compassion for the situation. We were able get her out of the vehicle after researching it online. But Tesla did not provide any guidance to help. Our car was at 80% charge and we did not get any low voltage notification or warning that the auxiliary battery was dead or low. My daughter was dehydrated and is forever traumatized by this situation and could have been seriously harmed. Tesla does not provide a standard vehicle delivery process when you purchase or lease a vehicle from them. They do not provide any tutorial or notification on what to do in the case you lose electrical power. The manual emergency latch is not labelled at all. You would never know it was there unless you search online. We sent an email to Tesla notifying them of the situation and they never responded. We even shared this with the service manager who replaced the battery and he said it is a common occurrence and brushed it off.

13 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2025

The low voltage battery went out after rear right door was opened to put children in car seats. Drove 45 minutes to a train museum with the kids. Everything was working fine on the way down. Once done with the museum and back at the car, opened right rear door to put my younger child in the car seat. My older child decided to enter the car through same door as she didn't want to wait for me to finish to take her to the other side. Once my younger child was buckled up, I closed the door to come over to the other side the buckle in my older child into car seat. The door would not open. The phone application would not get the car to unlock the doors. I could not open any of the doors. Children were trapped inside. My oldest child was not yet buckled and I was able to instruct her to crawl to the front and try opening both doors with the electronic button, which did not work. I then instructed her to use the mechanical door latch vs the electronic and she got the door open. Had it not been for the fact that she was still unbuckled she would not have been able to get to the front to open the doors. I would have needed to call 911 for help getting the kids out as the car was unresponsive.

15 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2025

On April 18th, 2025, I dropped off my 2022 Tesla Model Y at Tesla collision center (paramus, NJ) after a minor accident. I later revoked consent for any repairs via email. Despite this, Tesla performed major body and paint work without my permission. No signed work order exists. The repairs were unauthorized and proceeded without my knowledge or approval until this day. These changes now risk altering my VIN history and vehicle safety records. I’m concerned this constitutes falsified documentation and could affect resale value, title accuracy, and liability in future accidents. I was never shown a repair summary or given the chance to approve or decline service. Even after I sent a formal cease-and-desist letter on June 6, 2025, Tesla towed my rental vehicle on June 4 (without warning), which I had been using through Tesla insurance. My personal belongings were inside. The timing suggests retaliation for revoking consent and demanding documentation. There were no mechanical failures or warning lights before this, but my concern is that Tesla falsified records & carried out structural work under my VIN without my legal consent. That poses serious risk to my safety and consumer transparency. The work was done by Tesla’s own collision center. The vehicle is available for inspection. I request NHTSA to review Tesla’s repair authorization practices and investigate whether unauthorized repairs, falsified VIN records, or retaliation have occurred in my case and others. This incident reflects broader safety concerns around Tesla’s internal repair authorization system, which may allow collision centers to proceed without documented customer consent. If vehicle repairs are being logged under owner records without approval, this poses risk to accident liability, insurance disputes, and NHTSA transparency. I request a formal investigation into Tesla’s repair authorization practices and how they affect vehicle safety, ownership rights, and regulatory compliance. Thank you.

22 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2024

Charge port didn't allow to latch the charge cable. So the car lost the ability to be charged. This failure first time happened in December 2023. A mobile service technician visited my home to look into it. He checked and was able to restore the working of latch again. He didn't replace any part. This problem again happened on a very hot day (above 43 degree c) on 4th July when me and my family were away from home and were routed to a fast charger which was more than 70 miles from my home. The battery at that time was showing only 35 miles range left. I was forced to drop my car in nearest service center which was closed due to 4th July. Me and my family were stranded on the road in harsh temperature conditions. Some how I reached back home by alternate means. It took more than 5 days service center touched the car and fixed the car. Per there report they replaced the charge port on my car. The problem happened again on July 29 but got resolved on its own. I visited service center again on 15 August and was give a detailed form to fill up next time the problem happens. I was told that they will do some further diagnosis but they didn't even touched the car as the problem was not showing at that time. I have strong feeling that this problem can happen again and may leave me again stranded on road without any support. I have lost confidence to drive this car for longer distance where I may need to charge on the way. The issue happens without any warning and will show up right at the time when I have to charge it. I feel that this issue may leave me in a unsafe situation if I am at a remote place where the car looses the ability to be charged. I am not sure if this is the right forum to bring up this issue. Please feel free to direct me if this is not the right forum.

25 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2024

I just got t-boned in my 2022 Model Y performance. I got out of the vehicle which wasn't in terrible condition, in fact the left side of the vehicle was still perfect and the doors worked fine. I had my dog with me and everyone was okay, but I opened my door and the back passenger door to grab a jacket and check on my dog. I shut the doors to make sure he didn't run out and was a bit out of it because of the accident impact so I took a moment to compose myself. . All of the car's lights flickered and then the electric cut off leaving the doors completely locked and inoperable even though they had just been used moments before and were not damaged in the accident. I had to climb in through a shattered glass window to get my dog as all the doors wouldn't open from the outside and I was unable to access the glove box, nor pry it open because the electricity was out and the impact caused that door to make the side panel to unlock the glove box manually accessible. If the car did catch fire or an occupant were bleeding out: anyone inside, unconscious, would be unable to use the manually release and would be burned alive while people pull on doors that won't open that were undamaged in the accident and working 60 seconds before. From what I have read the only solution would be to jump the car using the 12v battery in the frunk of which the tow company and emergency responders were not familiar with.

Failure Date: 03/03/2024

A Tesla Model Y has one screen which is all instruments, warning indicators and reverse camera. On March 3rd, 2024 I had just completed about a 40 mile drive. I parked the vehicle for approximately three minutes and upon returning to the vehicle the screen failed to turn on. The vehicle ran and drove perfectly normally, but I had zero instrumentation or warning indicators. I drove home about two miles this way without incident. Upon exiting the car and closing the door (which is the equivalent to turning off the key in a traditional vehicle), the screen turned back on as normal and has since not repeated this issue. I contacted Tesla service about it and even sent them a video showing the vehicle operating with the screen not functioning and I was told to just reboot the car and they brushed it off and would not see the vehicle over this incident.

My vehicle encountered a severe loss of control, resulting in a collision with a concrete wall on I-90 west towards seattle at 19,877 miles. This critical event, leading to non-deployment of airbags and subsequent hospitalization, occurred shortly after two prior services addressing a rear drive motor unit malfunction, first at 14,768 miles and again at 14,820 miles. These incidents underscore a troubling pattern of safety concerns. Inspection details: front suspension: replacement of stabilizer bar link (1188391-00-b). Steering gear: replacement of steering gear assembly (1044831-00-h), essential for control. Sub-frame & steering components: reinstallation of the sub-frame and replacement of the tie rod end (1044841-00-e), indicating significant structural and steering issues. Safety risks: the sequence of malfunctions, particularly the recurring issues with the rear drive motor unit followed by a severe loss of control and airbag system failure, presents an extreme safety risk. The absence of warnings prior to these failures compounds the danger, suggesting systemic safety and reliability flaws. Conclusions & reporting: the vehicle's history of critical malfunctions within a short mileage interval demands an in-depth examination by the manufacturer and safety regulatory authorities. The objective is to uncover root causes, evaluate if these issues are widespread among similar models, and implement corrective actions promptly. This report aims to highlight the critical nature of the encountered safety issues, advocating for immediate interventions to safeguard vehicle occupants and the public.

31 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2023

Our high voltage battery died on the side of a highway, stranding us until a tow arrived at 4am. During this time, the onboard hazard lights were activated, and no other vehicle systems besides the standard interior features were active. The low voltage battery died within 35 minutes of the high voltage battery. After the low voltage battery died, we were left on the side of the highway at 4am with no active hazard lights, the emergency vehicle door openers were required to be used, however, the windows were rendered unusable, so the doors could not be effectively shut without risking damage to the windows. Having zero hazard or external lighting emitting from the vehicle after just 35 minutes at 4am on a dark stretch of highway put us in an extremely dangerous situation, and in our opinion, the hazards should have functioned for at least 2-3 hours. The vehicle has since been repurchased from the manufacturer as a lemon due to other unrelated issues.

Yesterday I drove 1 shift on uberx in chill mode, very carefully and tried to save as much energy as possible. Here’s what happened. I left the house with 100% charged 274 miles range not 303 advertised I track everywhere I go with everlance gps. After a couple rides, I noticed the cars augmented reality for auto pilot wasn’t seeing the environment properly and like usual the safety features were disabled, but I am unable to record it responsibly while driving my passenger on uberx not uber black. When I got to a red light with no passenger, I recorded on my iphone the Tesla failing to see about 35 to 40 vehicles over the course of 45 seconds and also fails to see a black man walking slowly across the crosswalk just 2 feet in front of the car but it can see cars 100 feet away. Meaning there is an intentional blindspot that would be in the collision warning zone that the car is purposely not seeing because the car is hacked. Directly after that I picked up a man from his house who also has a Model Y and brought him to the airport. He’s an augmented reality engineer that looks familiar to me from Tesla. Turns out someone stole his brand new Model Y from tampa Tesla, and brought it to a chop shop and went on a joyride, destroying the alignment, which he was given a large check for. He said Tesla was able to provide all the problems with his car with no issue. I told him all the problems with my car. Tesla has refused to even acknowledge after a dozen service appointment. Then I told him I have 100,000 gb of dash cam footage and secret recordings of the service manager telling me if I submit the footage to the fbi they would refuse service. Well, they already are refusing service. Also I drive a lot of federal agents and military personnel. When I got home, the car couldn’t account for 70 missing miles and it’s charging at one quarter speed. I reset the car three times. Now I’m trying to submit this on my computer, but the internet cut out! busted! shut down Tesla!.

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.

Went on a 3,000 miles road trip and recorded countless bugs and safety issues. To keep this short and sweet because I’m pretty sure I’ve already broken the world record for dot reports on a car without any intervention here’s some bullet points. 1. Car is falling extremely short of claimed mileage range. 2. Car refuses to charge or charges slow. 3. Gps is constantly wrong and sending me down dirt roads and trying to put me miles out of my way by giving wrong directions on purpose. 4. Car cannot switch lanes in autopilot despite perfect visibility during night and day. 5. Car keeps slamming on the brakes with people behind me or in my blind spot for no apparent reason. 6. Car keeps telling me that charging stations are offline or unavailable and when I pull up it’s a bunch of lies and there are open spots and the car charges. 7. Whenever I pull up to a charger it always happens to be the highest energy cost of the day. 8. Car sends me to wrong charging locations despite me selecting certain charging stations manually. 9. Car keeps making an awful scratching sound when music is paused or song changed. 10. Car keeps banning me from full self driving because the autopilot isn’t working properly even though I disabled fsd. 11. Car is constantly putting off a ton of heat to the point it raises my garage to over 100f. 12. Cars overheat protection mode doesn’t work properly and never has. 13. Car summon can’t make it 4 feet without side swiping the car next to it in the parking lot. 14. Car fails to see all emergency vehicles with or without lights on like a ghost car that doesn’t exist. 15. Ac is inaccurate and is either not reaching temp and the ac is roaring so loud I can’t hear anything but the air moving or is so cold myself and passengers start shivering. 16. Charging takes twice as long as advertised and never charges advertised speed like 150-250kwh 17. Full self driving can’t drive me more than 2 minutes without trying to kill me so I disabled it.

Drove to the carwash today a couple miles away to see if its just emergency vehicles the car doesn't see but its not seeing any vehicles in the right lane or passenger side of the car until they are about 150ft ahead of me. To clarify the cars vision system is not seeing any emergency vehicles (driver side, passenger side, ahead, behind, moving away, moving towards) like they don't even exist (invisible) and also not seeing any vehicles approaching from the passenger side blind spot. Switched my ig to private, was tired of all the hecklers and people reporting me and none of the government agencies doing any of their responsibilities except trying to screw me over on made up charges lol. I'll dm it to you on the NHTSA ig page.
