Warnings problems of the 2026 Tesla Model Y

On November 4, 2025, I believe my new Tesla (only 2 month old) had just updated to a new software version. That morning, when I tried to start the car to drive to walgreens pharmacy, the vehicle did not start — the screen was locked. I pressed the brake pedal several times, but there was no response. Then I pressed the accelerator and the brake again, and the car finally started. I believe I turned on the full self-driving (fsd) mode as usual. The car backed out of my garage and moved only about ten houses down our street when I suddenly felt it was out of control, and within seconds, it hit a stationary vehicle on our street. I did not hear forward collision warning or feel the automatic braking system engage. The Tesla report told me that the collision warning failure and the safety systems are affected, and the passage side (front right) tire shows 0 psi) . The the damage was highly unusual — although I was driving slowly, approximately 10 to 15 miles per hour on my street, the front wheel became completely detached from the suspension, the suspension itself was severely damaged, however, the rest of the car’s body sustained with minimal impact. I had hard time to find Tesla service to help me, so I contacted allstate and they had a towing company to transport the vehicle to gwatney collision center, the only Tesla-certified body shop in our area.

On October 3, 2025, I visited the Tesla service center to resolve a persistent noise issue. The issue involves rattling and creaking sounds from the steering wheel area, especially when driving over uneven roads or turning. The service appointment did not resolve the problem, and Tesla scheduled the next available appointment for October 30, 2025 — almost a full month later. The noise from the steering wheel area raises safety concerns, as it may indicate a defect in the steering column, structure, or related components. This is distracting during driving and could potentially compromise safe vehicle operation. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this is an isolated issue or a more widespread safety-related defect affecting Tesla vehicles.

Incident date: July 12, 2025 approximate time: 1:30?pm vehicle: 2026 Tesla model?y location: I?75 south express lane toward I?285 east, marietta, GA event summary: while autopilot was engaged, the vehicle was entering the exit ramp to I?285 east when it abruptly veered left into the I?285 west entrance ramp, against traffic, crashing through two “no entry” security gates. I was able to safely bring the vehicle to a stop before entering oncoming traffic. Crash details: • the vehicle struck two barrier gates. • impact shattered the windshield, spraying glass across the cabin. • both my son and I sustained small cuts from glass shards. • vehicle was rendered undrivable and had to be towed by authorities to a secure facility.

I was driving with fsd on highway 520 and had to intervene to take control when a bumper showed up on the road. When fsd was driving in standard mode, it was driving at 72 miles/ hr and was too close to the prior car. When the prior car quickly dodged the bumper my car was already too close to the bumper and needed to make a quick turn. The car almost rolled over. Dashcam video: https://drive. Google.
