Four problems related to warnings have been reported for the 2025 Tesla Model Y. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2025 Tesla Model Y based on all problems reported for the 2025 Model Y.
On February 11, 2026, the 2025 Tesla Model Y "vision autopark" system initiated an uncommanded high-speed reverse acceleration into a stationary yellow concrete bollard in a parking lot. The vehicle's vision-only parking assist hardware failed to detect a clearly visible, fixed obstruction and displayed a clear path on the system interface immediately before impact. No warning lamps, chimes, messages, or other alerts preceded the failure. The system provided zero indication of the imminent collision. The vehicle closed the distance to the bollard in under one second, exceeding human reaction time and making manual braking intervention impossible before impact. This failure mode — autonomous acceleration toward a stationary object without detection or warning — creates a severe crush hazard for pedestrians and property. The vehicle and its onboard data logs are available for inspection upon request. High-definition video evidence of the failure has been preserved showing the system ignoring the visible obstacle. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The manufacturer's service center refused to inspect the vehicle or review data logs on the date of the incident despite an immediate in-person request. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by insurance, police, or the manufacturer. The failed component is the Tesla vision-only autopark system, including its camera-based object detection and autonomous vehicle control software.
On or about may 23 or 24, 2025, while using fsd to park the vehicle, I engaged reverse mode. The vehicle was fully under fsd control during this maneuver. Unexpectedly, the car reversed into a fixed pole, impacting the rear of the vehicle and causing a noticeable dent. The system did detect the collision and stopped upon impact, but failed to avoid it entirely. This incident occurred despite my hands being on the wheel and full attention as a supervising driver, in accordance with Tesla's guidelines for fsd use. I believe this represents a malfunction in the fsd system's object detection or path planning during reverse parking.
I bought a Tesla Model Y 2025 and got my car delivered on [xxx] I barely drove it and within a week, I noticed all sensors stopped working (all cameras and camera-related functions stopped working, including the legally mandatory backup camera for new cars, gps has stopped working, making the premium connectivity package I paid not usable). Not only was I not able to use the self driving capability, which I paid $8000 for, but also the car lacked the most basic safety features. I contacted Tesla service center, they refused to admit that the sensor malfunction is a security concern, and still put me on an appointment three weeks later (Dec 13). After the first appointment, they did not fix the problem at all and noted it was a major computer issue, as reported by several media outlets [xxx] ). So my brand new car has a defective core component upon delivery. I was scheduled to meet them after they get the computer part on Dec 27. The appointment was rescheduled to Jan 14 again for missing parts. During the process, I found some weird tricks online and semi-fixed my car’s navigation but the sensor issues still exist. And on Jan 14 again, they claimed the computer part was missing again and I had to wait until that upcoming weekend to fix it. To summarize the situation: I was given a car that is defective upon delivery on its most important core component for 2. 5 months, when the car lacks even the basic legally required safety features, as well as premium features that I already paid off! during the process, I also spent a lot of time dealing with their customer service, and rescheduled appointments (I even had to drive to their service center several times to get a loaner and had to return the loaner early before they did not have parts to fix my car). Their negligence on safety, and promised features is simply astonishing and unacceptable. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Automatic emergency braking stopped working. Parking assist stopped working. Back window is dismal. You can't see anything behind through the window. All cameras stopped working and it poses a safety hazard.
