Failure Date: 06/05/2026

On xxx, at approximately 8:01:49 am eastern time, my 2024 Tesla Model Y (VIN: [xxx]) was operating under full self-driving (fsd) software version 14. 3. 3 when the system directed the vehicle into the outer wall of my residential garage without driver input. Fsd was actively engaged at the time of the incident. The vehicle sustained significant damage to the front bumper fascia and wheel well trim. Additional damage includes a cracked front fog light/corner lens assembly with surrounding fascia stress, also caused by the same incident. The incident also caused paint transfer damage to the garage wall trim. I have preserved dashcam footage documenting the incident, which is consistent with fsd-directed vehicle behavior. I am referencing NHTSA preliminary evaluation pe25012 as this incident is consistent with the pattern of uninstructed fsd-directed maneuvers currently under federal investigation. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Failure Date: 09/18/2025

When in reverse, the reverse camera disappears if the driver turns the air conditioner on. I was in reverse, pushed the air conditioner button, the camera disappeared and I hit a car behind me. There were also no warning sensors when I got close to the car. It seems to be a safety issue for the reverse camera to ever disappear while in reverse. I’ve had many other cars and while in reverse, you can still turn on the radio or the air conditioner without losing the reverse camera visibility. A child could easily be run over because of this.

4 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2025

Tesla has told me the ap4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start on 1/12, and I scheduled the earliest appointment available for 1/30. They did not offer me a rental or any assistance during this time, and I need my vehicle to commute to work and conduct other essential activities. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. This issue impacts: backup camera, emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, vehicles built in gps to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously, and I have received no reparations for it.

5 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2025

Park assist error message when put car in reverse. No visualizations on display. Early collision not working. Several times (not in this instance) backup camera has been black and does not show an image. Sentry system error message. Fsd offline. (may not be a safety issue but wanted to provide information as it would show other errors in the system affecting safety) I have a scheduled appointment with the service center in February.

6 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2024

Cameras stopped working which made all of the safety functions and gps stop working as well.

7 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2024

Tesla has told me the ap4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start right around [xxx]. I scheduled the soonest appointment available for 12/30 however Tesla contacted me and moved my appointment because they stated that the part was unavailable at this time and should be delivered by 01/9/25 but now it has been pushed back to 1/20/25. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new '24 Tesla. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. This issue impacts: emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, vehicles built in gps to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously. . . Tesla has not seemed to publicly acknowledge the issue yet either. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

8 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2024

After a software update pushed by Tesla, the ap4 computer in my 2024 Tesla Model Y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all safety systems controlled by this computer. The following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: 1. Cruise control (adaptive or otherwise) 2. Forward collision warning 3. Lane departure warning 4. Lane keeping assistance 5. Blind spot warning 6. Parking collision warning 7. Full self-driving and auto park features 8. Cameras required for autopilot functionality 9. Auto headlight dim / auto wiper system 10. Back up camera rendered inoperable additionally, because the gps system has failed, the vehicle’s navigation system is inoperable. This impacts Tesla’s unique route planning feature that sets up supercharger stops during long journeys. Without a functioning navigation system, I cannot properly plan my travel or locate charging stations, which severely affects the usability of the vehicle. This system also initiates preconditioning of the battery (heats it up to be able to charge), so super charging is extremely slow without the gps system availability. Safety concerns: the failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Rear visibility in the car is very limited without the federally required backup camera. Incident details: • the issue occurred immediately following a software update. • Tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • the failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the ap4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update.

9 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2024

All cameras stopped working. Blind spot detection not working. Blinkers stopped working. No parking assist. Auto wipers . Adas not working. Screen auto brightness not working. Clicking when letting off accelerator. We damaged our tire and rim due to this issue.

10 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2024

All the cameras on the vehicle were unavailable starting today (12/08), including the rear view camera. The vehicle was not drivable and no cruise control was working.

11 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2024

According to Tesla the ai4 computer experienced an internal short circuit. This has rendered all cameras including backup camera, gps, parking sensors, and automatic wipers inoperable. The visibility out of the vehicle is very poor to the rear without the backup camera. Parking without the rear camera and parking sensors is difficult. Not having physical controls for the wipers makes turning them on/off and changing speeds difficult, causing a lot of drivers distraction.

12 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2024

After a software update pushed by Tesla, the ap4 computer in my 2024 Tesla Model Y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all systems controlled by this computer. None of cameras on my vehicle are now viewable. Due to the design of the vehicle, reversing without having a backup camera functional is a hazardous event. Also, the following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: -cruise control (adaptive or otherwise) -forward collision warning -lane departure warning -lane keeping assistance -blind spot warning -parking collision warning -full self-driving and auto park features -cameras required for autopilot functionality -gps system has failed, the vehicle’s navigation system is inoperable. Safety concerns: the failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Without a backup camera, the risk of causing injury to people or property is greatly increased. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Incident details: • the issue occurred immediately following a software update. • Tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • the failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the ap4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update. Desired outcome: • a thorough investigation into Tesla’s software update process and its effect on vehicle hardware and safety systems. • a resolution that prevents similar failures in other vehicles and ensures system updates do not compromise vehicle safety or critical functionality.

15 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2024

This is a complaint regarding a malfunction of the Tesla full self-driving (fsd) feature, which resulted in damage to my vehicle and may potentially pose a significant safety risk to public. On 07/02/2024, my newly purchased Tesla [model-y 2024] was parked next to a pillar in a parking garage. After ensuring that the full self-driving sign was on, I activated the fsd feature. However, as soon as the function was engaged, the vehicle instantly took off and made a right turn. This sudden and unexpected action caused the right side of the back passenger door to scrape against the iron guardrail on the pillar and caused damages to the right back passenger door and a portion of right back fender. This action happened so sudden that did not have the chance to react and take manual control. I contacted Tesla to report the issue and seek assistance, but after +4 weeks of contacting and restless following up with Tesla service teams, Tesla stated that the software was functioning properly and denied any responsibility for the malfunction, and they closed my case without offering any resolution or further investigation. Luckily, this incident happened in a confined parking garage. It could have resulted in more severe damage or injury had the circumstances been different. Additionally, Tesla's dismissal of the issue and refusal to accept responsibility is deeply concerning, especially about the reliability and safety of their full self-driving technology. I sincerely request your office to investigate into this incident, and I hope you could advise any appropriate action to examine and address this issue. I attached a few photographs of where my vehicle was parked before the fsd was turned on, and the damages on both my vehicle and the guardrail at the time of the incident. I am more than happy to provide any further information or clarification. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and assistance.
