general problems of the 2022 Tesla Model Y - part 2

Tesla will not fix: Tesla pushed a spring software update which introduces risk to pedestrians and risk of accident including rear-ending. In the past an image of the car is on the left side of the screen and a large map is on the right side of the screen. With this update, the map is removed from the right side of the screen when not in gear. If the car is in gear it remains on the screen. To setup adas destination it now works best if you have the car in gear. If the car is in park you have only full screen car image and extra steps to get the large map. If you voice command destination you may never see the map until driving on road. You should be driving at that point not interacting with the screen. Accident and pedestrians at risk while using screen. For instance if you get in the car and issue a voice command to destination with only one location the tiny map image in the far upper right corner of the screen displays a route so small and completely without detail it could be wrong but you just assume it is correct because it will take extra user interface interaction to make it large enough to tell what it is actually going to do. You put the car in reverse and back into the street, put the car in drive and now you get the full size map, route, destination for the first time and route is wrong. When in park, interacting with the map you don't really know what will cause the map to go away and be replaced by the car image. Can happen if you change destination entry. The map is removed from the screen every time you put the car in park. Now a big problem. If you are driving and decide maybe I should go to a different destination first and you pull over and put the car in park the map is removed from the screen again and the destination remains unchanged. You either fight the propensity to replace the map with the car image or don't put the car in park. To prevent the car screen from replacing the map unpredictably you have to keep the car in gear.

Collision while using summon feature on a Tesla. I was parked, rear end in, in a parking stall at work. A minivan was parked, front end in, in the stall adjacent to me. The two cars were facing opposite directions with the drivers side of each car next to each other. As I approached my car, from a distance of about 100ft, I used the Tesla app to summon my car to me. I pressed and held down the "come to me" button and my car lights went on and the car began moving forward then made a sudden, unexpected sharp left turn before pulling out of the stall. The turn was too sharp and a collision was imminent. I let the button go on the app, but it was too late and my drivers side back door panel scraped the rear drivers side bumper of the minivan next to me. I got into the car, manually backed up and surveyed the damage. I thought it was minor, but I reported it to the minivan owner. Due to an estimate of damage in the several thousand dollar range, I filed a claim with my insurance company. They repaired the damage to the minivan. I deferred any repair to my own car because I thought it was minimal. No injuries occurred as the result of this collision. I did not mention the use of the summon feature when I reported this collision to my insurance company. I simply mentioned that I hit the car next to me pulling out of a parking stall and that the fault was mine.

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.

The (part:rear aero shield(1498771-00-e) screw - hex -m6x16(1484170-00-a) and also the (part:diffuser rear fascia(1494007-00-b) screw - hex - m6x16(1484170-00-a) rvt push - pull 8x18x20. 0). On June,05,2024 there was a storm and there was flood areas. I drove the vehicle while passing these parts came out because water underneath removed them. The manufacturer did not tight the screws correctly and water caused detachment underneath behind the electric battery where the rear electric motor is located. I reported this and schedule a service appointment but Tesla the manufacturer said they will not cover this under warranty. This is not fair. This should be secure and safe and not detached on its own when water hits it. This should be cover under the manufacturer warranty.

On two occasions, the Tesla hijacked 911 calls during emergencies. One time I was inside someone's house talking to 911. Suddenly I was cut off. The 911 call was hijacked by the Tesla and the person in the car did not understand how to respond to the emergency. On the second occasion, I was outside the vehicle, but the windows were open. I called 911 and was talking to them, but then the Tesla hijacked the call. I tried to continue the conversation through the open windows of the car, but this route of communication suddenly stopped. I changed to speakerphone and was able to complete the call through my phone. Tesla states that all car systems that use bluetooth (Tesla, apple carplay) have this feature and that all is operating normally. (I guess if all employees steal from their employer, all is normal when someone steals from their employer. ) Tesla says that before making a call, someone would have to disconnect bluetooth or unpair the phone from the car. But that is not the solution. Tesla should use, for example, the in vehicle camera to determine if someone is in the vehicle before hijacking the phone call through bluetooth and there should be an active prompt for Tesla to take over the call. Since bluetooth is needed in order to unlock the vehicle, it is not a good solution to force users to turn bluetooth on and off on the phone. Tesla indicated that they would log the complaint, but kept saying that since every other car did this they would probably not take corrective action.

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.

I had gotten the free trial of fsd (full self driving) from Tesla in 2024. I used it with a friend to take us to the zoo. It drove there perfectly with no issues & even backed itself in the parking spot. When time to leave, my friend suggested using the “summon” mode to have the car come to us- it was in view, maybe 10 or so yards away from the curb where we were. I held down the button to summon, the lights turned on & it began making the noise evs make when reversing to alert others that it was on the move. It started slowly creeping out of the spot, maybe a foot or two when it suddenly turned the wheel all the way to the left and accelerated, crashing into the parked car next to it. We were in a bit of a shock, as it was so slow- but it happened so fast? I didn’t even have time to take my finger off the button that made it move/ stop. It did everything in a split second. I have not used the feature since, and when I brought it up to a Tesla engineer they sort of downplayed it & said it was my fault for not properly supervising the vehicle. However, there was really nothing that could have been done in that situation to prevent that. At no point did my friend or I think the vehicle would randomly accelerate into the car next to it, and I would ask how a human would be able to predict that? the more I see incidents of faulty fsd online, the more I believe this incident should be investigated. Thank you for your time if you reach out regarding this case, I know the date of this incident was April 3, 2024 between window of 4-5pm.

In the Tesla full self-drive adaptive cruise control system the set speed arbitrarily and abruptly drops from the set speed to 40 mph on an interstate highway. In other words, if set to 70 it will drop instantly to 40 mph for no reason.

I was sideswiped by another vehicle which just joined our direction of traffic coming out of a cutout. As soon as I saw the vehicle moving fast from inside the cutout to join our direction and into my lane, I immediately decided to move to the lane next to me. I was at the leftmost lane at the time. Halfway into the lane I just felt the violent impact of the other vehicle hitting us. My wife and I were shaken so bad, we were shocked and terrified at what just happened and what else might happen to us. I felt like we were travelling on the front wheels with our rear end up in the air. Next thing we knew, the car stopped in front of a tree. Our iphones and the our car's phone called 911. We were pulled out of the car and taken immediately into an ambulance and orange global hospital, where we stayed for about 2 days. X rays, CT scan and mri were taken. Note: a rod sticking out from the floor hit my wife during the accident. This rod was connected to the wheel and was not supposed to be stick out inside the car during an accident! I believe that a default in car design caused this rod to hit my wife , which caused so much pain, doctors compared her bruised ribs to broken ribs!!.

I was using the summon feature and the vehicle scraped another car. The safety features that keep the vehicle from hitting an object did not work.

The front license plate holder, which is attached to the vehicle with two strips of double-sided adhesive tape, became detached while driving on the highway. This occurred while driving on the highway without any prior collision or impact that could have caused such damage. The detachment resulted in damage to the vehicle’s paint on the bumper, dislodgement of the ultrasonic parking sensor, and the license plate holder itself flying off the vehicle. I have ordered a replacement plate at my expense. Safety concerns: there was no prior warning or indication of instability of the license plate holder. Tesla’s provided literature does not include instructions for regular checks or maintenance of the plate frame, nor are there warnings against the potential risks of car washes on the adhesive’s integrity. Previous incidents: online forums and discussions among Tesla owners reveal multiple instances of similar occurrences, indicating a pattern that suggests a potential defect in the design or materials used for the license plate holder’s attachment. Response from manufacturer: upon contacting Tesla regarding the incident, I was informed that they consider this situation akin to a collision and hold me solely responsible for all repairs. Despite the availability of video footage and telemetry data from my vehicle that could confirm the absence of a collision, Tesla has declined to utilize these resources to investigate the incident further. Requested action: I urge the NHTSA to consider the potential safety hazards posed by the detachment of the front license plate holder on Tesla vehicles. An investigation into the frequency and circumstances of these incidents could be warranted to ensure the safety of Tesla vehicle owners and the driving public.

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.
