general problems of the 2022 Tesla Model Y - part 2

Since purchasing the car, I've had issues with the driver's side floor mat sliding and/or flapping. By sliding I mean it slides to the right and then interferes with the braking. By flapping, I mean the left separate portion/flap of the drivers side mat just randomly bends over - again causing interference with braking. I've tried to correct this issue multiple times by repositioning the floor mats. There is no way to secure the mats. I also added this concern to a pre-existing service request as it is quite annoying; however, I was told to just purchase new mats - even though my vehicle is under warranty.

I was driving the car in a straight lane. I missed a speed bump but the car was still driving straight. After 100-150 feet driving ahead, the car suddenly steered the wheel completely towards the right side resulting in an accident where the car crashed into a wall.

Almost pooped my pants - backed up into a parking spot to get food for family gathering. Took two family members with me to pick up the said food. Put collected food in trunk and we all got back in. Placed mylr in “d” (drive) and sweet baby jesus it was going backwards! my family member in back yelled and I said that wasn’t me it’s in “d” look! and we all looked at each other puzzled. Then I tapped the “go” pedal one more time and sure enough backwards again. I put it in park and I was like “you all saw that right!?” we all agreed. Put it in “d” again and worked fine. Two family members said I had to watch some end of the world movie and they no longer want a Tesla after seeing that.

The incident happened on 12/22/2024 8:30 am to 8:40am. Weather: heavy foggy. On freeway, no raining. Road was dry. Autopilot was off. I was trying to change lane to 2nd lane (I was in 3rd lane) and I saw a white pickup truck suddenly changed lane to the 2nd lane from 1st lane, so I turned my steering to left quickly (speed was 55-60 miles) and back to 3rd lane, and then suddenly the steering wheel was out of control, the steering wheel was turning right - left many times quicky and tilting the car. It just happened so quickly (not even a second) I wasn't able control the steering. After 3-5 seconds, it stopped. The steering was back to normal. I kept the car in 3rd lane. I almost got killed. I am glad I am still alive because it's christmas holiday, not many cars on freeway in the early morning. Many cars behind me stayed away from me when they saw my car was out of control. I reported the incident to the Tesla manufacturer, they said they checked computer log remotely and nothing wrong, just something related to wheel slips and then cancelled my service request. I didn't know if there was any warning lamps or messages pop up because I was so scared at the moment and forgot to check.

Front passenger safety restraint system fault.

Hvac system in vehicle seemed to lack power since first use and now the hvac system doesn’t operate (cold or hot).

There is a bug in the browser that Tesla includes in all of their vehicles that allow people to play videos/movies while driving. Someone sells a device that takes advantage of this bug: https://teslaandroid. Com/ the browser needs to be update to prevent this, as it is a major safety issue.

Tesla incident 9/8/2023 my Tesla y started moving backwards suddenly while I was driving forward after I accidentally flicked the right drive lever, mistaking it rain wipers. I driving on henry hudson parkway in nyc. It was back to back traffic on hhp. The Tesla started racing backward despite my foot off the gas, and I barely had time to brake . Luckily, traffic was very slow due to rain and carbehind had stopped and it was not damaged at all. However, my Tesla trunk was damaged. I am very worried that the car could go from moving forward to backward with accidental flick on the drive lever.

On 9/4/23, I encountered a serious malfunction with my Model Y. The issue in question involved the vehicle crashing into a wall on the top level of a parking structure while using the “Smart summon” feature in Tesla’s mobile app. The “Smart summon” feature allows you to use the Tesla app to retrieve the vehicle and have it move to your location (within 12 meters) while you are standing outside of the vehicle. This malfunction rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and significantly affected its performance. I immediately contacted Tesla's customer support and was advised to take my vehicle to the nearest Tesla service center or certified repair service center. The Tesla service center located in west covina, CA, performed a diagnostics inspection and technicians said that due to the “Smart summon” feature being a beta version, they do not take responsibility for the damage caused. I explained that the “Smart summon” feature was first released in 2016 and that it’s original feature design is for the vehicle to stop completely if it detects any objects in its path of travel. I also raised the question on what if it was our children or any other pedestrian that could have been injured. I would like to emphasize that my Model Y is only 1. 4 year old, purchased in April 2022 and it has been meticulously maintained according to Tesla's recommended guidelines. It is perplexing and disheartening to learn that a significant malfunction, seemingly unrelated to any neglect or misuse on my part, would not be covered by Tesla's warranty. I understand that warranties have limitations, but I firmly believe that the malfunction I experienced falls well within the scope of what should be covered. This situation has placed an unexpected financial burden on me, as the estimated repair costs are substantial at almost $8,000. It also raises questions about the reliability and durability of Tesla vehicles. I kindly request your time and assistance in the matter.

During auto pilot or cruise control the vehicle suddenly brakes causing a sudden deceleration with no obstacles or obstruction! phantom braking! happens several times during a trip.

The proximity sensor alerts do not work with Tesla vision and resulted in a minor collision with adjacent vehicle while manually parking. With the removal of the ultrasonic sensors from the alert system, Tesla is not reliable anymore for distance warning and is responsible for accidents to to the false sense of confidence provided by that system.

I was driving on the highway and the frunk came off breaking the front shield. The frunk was still showing as closed on the computer, but the screws came off releasing the frunk. Luckily I was able to react appropriately and move the car to the shoulder of the highway but the incident could’ve caused death. Visibility was zero as the front shield was obstructed by the open frunk.

The driver seat's manual door opening latch does not open the door. That means in case of battery failure, fire or accident ( when the car 's battery is not working) driver cannot get out of the car from driver's seat. And from the design there is no manual door opening function in the back seats.

As I was walking up to my Tesla Model Y I used the Tesla app on my phone to open my read hatch. The door opened as I approached, when I got to the car, some how the rear hatch closed without touching the car button or the app, striking me on the head hard, causing a contusion to the top of my head. I have video from the car showing the incident, but can not upload below due to file type restriction.

No manual door latch present on rear passenger doors. In event of emergency not able to open the rear doors manually. Manual safety cord located under sealed compartment, inaccessible without small screwdriver or special tool.

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.

When traveling on cruise control the car will suddenly break in the middle of the road even though there are no vehicles, pedestrians, or threats.

Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and claims there's nothing wrong with the car once again, big surprise! they messed up my dashcam during fake service regardless of legally consenting to being video and audio recorded (very clear notice stickers on the doors) when entering the vehicle which I own; it is not leased. Consent is important, without consent things become crimes. Like if a flight attendant says no to sex with her boss elon you cant just rape her and then offer her a horse after and get away with it. Anyways the automatic indicators that elon suggested everyone try on twitter the other night doesn't actually work for automatically turning on or off with or without ap and fsd. I decided to turn off my fsd that I paid $12,000 because its a death trap. Here's a video since Tesla says I'm imagining it and I must be schizophrenic or something but this is exactly why I record everything and trust nobody. The link probably doesn't work because the government is trying to silence me in this huge coverup. . Read more...

Hello, me again. Been having alot of trouble with voice text when trying to respond to my wife at the stop light. I started telling her about how a white Cadillac escalade almost crashed into me and all the safety features 'randomly' disabled themselves while driving and I'm late because I tried to keep eyes on the car while the local pd dispatched and had to drive further than I intended but I eventually gave up after he got so far ahead after weaving thru traffic like he's playing grand theft auto. So the voice text has been doing this really 'cool' feature where I say some stuff that's incriminating about Tesla or the fbi and then it just doesn't type it at all or says some stuff I never actually said that usually sounds incriminating like this one time I tried to voice text my wife that some guy tried to crash into me and then sped away at 100mph plus and later I caught up to him because he crashed at a toll in the rain; the car said I was racing a guy and I crashed! then my wife got all freaked out and called me and I explained that I'm totally fine and wasn't racing him he raced past me. This car is scary as hell, it should have its own horror movie. Oh yea I just got a letter from the irs for the third time saying they changed my 2020 tax returns and I owe $138,021 in back taxes by next month or I'll get $20,000 a month in late fees but I only made $729 that year and already paid my taxes thru my accountant. Fbi tried to raid my house 2 nights ago again using localpd. All after Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and they claimed nothing is wrong with my car and tampered with my evidence camera despite them consenting to being recorded by entering my vehicle. Car is living in the garage now until dot agent finishes setting up our meeting because I really don't want to die that would suck. Here's a link to my shadow banned instagram that has hundreds of videos of my car trying to kill me. . Read more...

2022 Tesla Model Y front aero shield bolts become loose and the aero shield becomes loose and becomes a safety hazard for other drivers. Tesla will not warranty part nor will claim responsibility for poor manufacturing & assembly. All Tesla models have this issue and it needs to be fixed.

Why I am submitting this complaint: I am writing to you upon the advice of the CA attorney general's office. Their guidance was in response to a question I submitted on their web about safe and legal towing with the Model Y factory-installed towing package. Problem: risk of silent brake controller failure. Vehicles impacted Model Y's with the lithium ion low voltage battery & towing trailers 1500 lbs or more. Technical issues: the lithium ion low-voltage battery operates at 15. 5v, out of the normal 12v operating range. The wiring harness sends 15. 5 v to the brake controller. Brake controllers connected to the Model Y towing harness do not throw an error. High voltage through a 12 v brake controller may result in unexpected brake controller failure per controller manufacturer's support teams. Tesla disconnected the 12v aux power to the 7-pin towing connector. This power is used for rf trailer brake controllers. Rf brake controllers don't get the required power. Rf brake controllers will throw an error & the driver knows the brake system isn't connected correctly. Why do I know this? I bought the Model Y to tow my 2,000 lb teardrop trailer w/ a prodigy/tekonsha rf brake controller. When I attempted to connect & verify the rig was in spec, I discovered there was no power to the 7-pin plug. While troubleshooting, I found a twitter post that described the problem, said Tesla disconnected the power & there would be a retrofit in mid-2022. See attached. Attempted resolution I've worked with Tesla rocklin CA for a year. They submitted cases, escalated, and even unsuccessfully tried to connect a 24v controller. A fix isn't hard. I've heard corp. Didn't expect people to tow. Communication: to my knowledge, there's been no communication to affected owners or to brake controller manufacturers. No fix planned Tesla corp. Doesn't intend to fix it or communicate to owners. See attached. Action needed people towing may be at risk of silent brake controller failure.

1. Personally, I believe all new cars should be required to put blind spot monitoring notification lights in the side mirrors ! it is such a great safety addition. Tesla does not have it. 2. I have had the car since 4/16/22. I have replaced the windshield x 2 already and this weekend a rock hit the windshield which now needs to be replaced again. 4 windshields in 13 months? is there a proble m with the windshields?.

Leaving mothers day dinner at disney orlando with all 3 generations of family in the car and I click 'home' and the map sets a charging station in miami 120miles away in the wrong direction, the fsd and ap wont work and the cars gps goes completely black. That doesn't even make sense, there was the hooter's supercharger down the street and several others in miami and probably a dozen more between disney and miami. If I wasn't a professional driver I fear this many bugs and susceptibilities could kill my entire lineage. Texting and driving is illegal and dangerous, that's got nothing on a malfunctioning Tesla screen while driving main street disney. Look out king charles there's a new kid on the block, elon musk doesn't need a tunnel to disappear your whole family. He can do it in broad daylight on mainstreet disney in front of the police, god and the NHTSA and after you report it 30 times nobody will do anything about it. . Read more...

We have 2 drivers in the family. Using the Tesla app, one individual accidentally opened the trunk of the car while the other individual was driving that car several miles away. The car was in "drive", not in "park". Luckily the car was going at a slow speed so there was no accident. But the open trunk blocks the view out the rear view mirror. And the vehicle and its contents are not secure when it is driving in this mode (it is open to the road in the rear of the car as it is a hatchback-style car). This has happened twice in the last 3 months, the most recent on may 11, 2023. The confusion that led to both accidental openings of the trunk is that the family has 2 Teslas, so the individual operating the app meant to open the trunk on the other car that he was about to drive. It is an easy mistake to make when a family has multiple Teslas set up in their app. Another disturbing part of the event was that in both cases, the driver had no way to close the trunk from within the car unless the car was stopped and then placed in park. The Tesla trunk can only be opened and closed by the driver inside the car when it is in park. But the Tesla app can open and close the trunk when it is in park or drive. The car should only allow the trunk to open when it is in park, even if the app requests it to open. Upon reporting this to Tesla on may 25, the service team ran diagnostics on the car and said that there were no issues with the car. And then the issue was passed on to engineering to look at. Tesla did not report to me whether this was an intended use of the Tesla app or if there was a problem with my specific car.

After the car couldn't drive me into oncoming traffic and put me out of my misery; I reset the car and then all the safety features were disabled again, the car couldn't see the solid white freshly painted lanes during the middle of the day with perfect visibility. As I approached the red light I demonstrated how the Tesla has no collision warning or assistance enabled although they are features advertised on the car that I paid for. Once again not a coincidence. Tesla has refused or is incapable of repairing this frankenstein's monster covid Tesla it needs to be totaled under lemon law. All the windows are from different countries ffs. Also the doors are sagging and scratching the base of the car but Tesla is also completely blind on that one too, go figure! they've also illegally tracked me home and to the grocery store but that's just what I can prove, I'm sure they've broken more privacy laws than just that. From a simple google search you can discover how Tesla employees use the car footage to spy on you in your own home and pass around nude photos of you on internal company email and messenger apps. .

Since I received this awful vehicle it has never properly identified emergency vehicles. Sometimes it confuses neon/led signs with emergency lights and smashes on the brake for emergency vehicles that aren't there. Other times it slams on the brakes on the highway when behind an emergency vehicle and the reflective tape is lit up from my own headlights bouncing on the awfully hard and cheap suspension on this 'performance' vehicle. Lately I've captured video of the car completely failing to see a fire truck right in front of it for at least 1 minute straight with the lights and sirens on. This is unacceptable. Tesla not only wants me and my family dead, they don't care about the lives of our brave firefighters, emts and police officers. Then don't care about you either. . Read more...

I pay $9. 99/month for 'premium connectivity' which is an acronym for "none of the features you paid for actually work unless you also pay us $9. 99/month for spotify wrapped as Tesla radio that doesn't work half the days you drive it". How can you sell me a car with all these safety features, charge me to have access to them and then not give me service? I paid for features Tesla isn't capable of delivering on. False advertising on steroid, Tesla should be ashamed. . Read more...

Summon feature has never worked properly and has always tried to crash itself into cars next to it or drive the wrong way down the parking lot with no one inside. I have several videos of the car trying to crash itself after driving less than 4ft out of a parking spot at walmart. Couldn't even make it 100ft to the shopping cart deposit. You cant summon and record at the same time with your phone so when it failed I switched to record. Before that car was driving itself up the sidewalk towards the entrance of the building where people were entering and exiting, thank goodness for the concrete pilons. This car is worse than a piece of garbage its an intentional death trap and liability on wheels. I feel like they're trying to murder me for reporting them. I am in fear for my life. I am still censored online and just an hour ago I had a us government vehicle just about rear end me at 30mph+ over the speed limit. I have it on dashcam. Then they just followed me thru traffic for the next ten minutes. This is rackateering and fascism. Everyone said hitler was a great guy and ignored all the people he was killing for personal gain. How is this any different than Tesla and the us government in bed together passing each other tax incentives and sales contracts like its sugar free candy while silencing and trying to kill and smear whistleblowers like me. I am beyond repulsed that the NHTSA has allowed this vehicle to still be on the road driving uber and lyft customers around. But that's what they want, a witness like me earning less than minimum wage while his car tries to kill him and any crack head can just get in my car and shoot me in the back of the head so I can't testify. What's stopping blackrock or ark financial from jumping on the dark web and hiring a crackhead hitman? wouldn't be the first time a crackhead got in my uber and kept dropping his gun. That's right, nothing. . Read more...

Almost everyday I have to restart the car while I'm driving because the car starts playing songs that are mean, discriminatory, or out right telling me to "kill yourself on the beach" and "you can't sit here". While I'm driving I'm forced to restart the car to regain control of my instrument cluster which when resetting while driving you basically lose all features of the car minus steering gas and brake. The sentry mode isn't recording, the indicators aren't working, there is no speedometer or navigation, all safety features are disabled. It's the perfect time to commit a crime, no evidence except my iphone dashcam and anyone else around. I have to sometime do this with children in the car because the radio keeps cursing and I can't change the song. This car is a haunted death trap and I have entered pre-arbitration with Tesla but they have not responded. I have a lawfirm on standby that has offices in FL, CA and TX. They want my 10,000 gigabytes of evidence bad unlike NHTSA. That's because they are fascists and trying to cover this up. He also bought twitter as part of this coverup. I talked about it in my podcast about 3 years ago that's still on youtube. This is all premeditated torture and attempted murder. . Read more...

The car radio keeps freezing on songs insulting me or wont play music at all. After resetting the car while driving for the 937,845,609,238,457,609,823,756,098,273,546,908,723,549,068th time the car started playing "car radio" a song about a guys car radio being stolen and the silence making him want to pull the steering wheel and kill himself in a car accident. Shortly after this the car radio played "kill yourself on a beach" on my daily trip to mcdonalds because it's all I can afford while slowly going bankrupt driving this Tesla on uber because of all the 'defects' and false advertising if you can even call it anything other than intentional punishment for whistleblowing at this point. Tampering with a witness is a 3rd degree felony federal offense punishable by up to 5 years in prison with a $5,000 fine. Photo attached. . Read more...

Recall no. 23v-085 weeks ago, my car is currently stuck on an old software version (2022. 44. 30. 10) and is not receiving ota updates from Tesla. I've contacted Tesla's service center and their customer support line multiple times. They've instructed me to email an address (earlyaccess@Tesla. Com) to be removed from the fsd beta program which I have done 5+ times. I believe this to be an unreasonable amount of time for them to remedy what should be something simple, and think they should be held accountable for continuing to violate the safety recall violation.

My 2022 Tesla Model Y suddenly stopped on the road with a message on the screen saying “pullover safely vehicle shutting down”, but the car stopped immediately and would not move. Another error came up saying “rear motor disabled”. The sudden stopping was very dangerous, and it could have been life threatening had it been on a highway. Luckily for us, I was just pulling the car back from our driveway, but more than half of my car was on the road when the car stopped suddenly with the error message. I can’t imagine what could have happened had I been on a highway with or without auto pilot. We are all very disturbed by this experience as the car just suddenly stopped. Tesla is not safe on the road with this problem. Battery was at 235miles left and the car is in great condition otherwise having driven only 8k miles. Car had to be towed to the service center, but next Tesla service appointment shows almost a month later.

During my driving shift on lyft my first ride was right next to me at the medical clinic when I accepted the ride but lyft sent me 10 minutes away to park in the middle of a median facing a memorial for a car crash victim (while playing stan by eminem about a fan being killed in a car accident after no one gets his letters(on Tesla radio which has been proven to be hackable and I have reported to NHTSA before)). She gives me directions; I accept the ride then drive 10 minutes back to where I accepted the ride in the first place. The gps location for lyft is over a mile off, after a couple minutes of scanning parking lots for people I've never met I find them at the health clinic (lyft had deleted her directions she sent me so I was going off memory from the phone call). We start talking and it turns out they are currently in a lawsuit against lyft. On the way to their destination (which was also wrong by several miles and required their directions) the husband and I start noticing really aggressive drivers around us then all of a sudden the car in front of us hit the brakes short notice and zero of the cars collision warnings and safety precautions worked because there is clearly no audible sound. I have the sounds enabled I also have since day 1 because that's why I bought this car, for safety. Luckily for me I said nothing until the passenger mentioned that they braked too hard, I did a good job reacting and they agree there was no collision warning once I explained to them that the Tesla is supposed to do that but it rarely works when it should and goes off all the time for overly dramatic reasons. It's like elon himself hacked my car and made it a clown car as described by himself in his own tweets. Upon the riders request I have released the entire recording to them via cloud server for use only with my written consent. They will be forwarding it to their attorney who is currently representing them so I would think twice about using 'kid gloves' on Tesla now on.

I was stopped at a light, and I as I continued my trip after the green. I had put the car in auto pilot. As I approached the curve there deer to my left that got my attention. The vehicle didn't follow the road, nor did it announce with any warnings, or lane assists that the vehicle was departing the lane. Impact was made into a broken guard rail. Guard rail impaled the vehcile from the left side into the cabin impacting my left leg causing serious injuries.

On March 23rd and most recently the car while on cruise control with no cars infront of me emergency (phantom breaking).
