Assist Problems of Tesla Model Y - part 1

On multiple lane roads whe I am driving next to traffic in the same direction, if I try to give a large truck in the next lane plenty of room the lane keep assist activates and pushes me closer to the vehicle I am trying to avoid. When lca first takes control it feels like it turns toward the line it's alerting about. Then it steers me towards the thing I was trying to avoid. The happens every drive and causes close calls with traffic, curbs, or large shrubs in the median. I have other older Tesla Model Ys that allow you to keep this setting off permanently. My new Model Y resets on every drive. It's several menu levels deep and distracting when I have to disable while driving. Please have them let me keep this dangerous option off permanently. Thank you.

Following a 25-day repair at a certified collision center due to an earlier accident, the vehicle's full self-driving (fsd) and active safety systems began failing. The vehicle repeatedly failed to keep speed and failed to stay centered in the lane. On March 25, 2026, while traveling at low speed on a public roadway with fsd actively engaged, the system failed to maintain a stable path and incorrectly steered the vehicle into a curb, causing property damage to the wheel. This failure put my safety and the safety of surrounding traffic at risk by executing an unpredictable steering maneuver that the active safety systems failed to prevent. The vehicle was taken to the manufacturer's service center twice with this specific complaint prior to the curb strike. The service center investigated and officially concluded that this was not a software issue, stating that they could do nothing else. They deferred the resolution back to the collision shop, citing likely camera/sensor physical misalignment from the 25-day body repair. The collision shop is now refusing to review the vehicle or inspect the hardware, claiming lack of visible exterior damage despite the internal service team stating this is a latent hardware alignment defect. The vehicle is currently in the same failing condition and available for inspection upon request. No warning lamps or error messages appeared on the screen prior to the failure or the curb strike. The symptom of unpredictable lane tracking first appeared immediately upon receiving the vehicle back from the collision repair earlier this year. Note: I have a formal data privacy request pending with Tesla to pull the exact chat logs showing their refusal to service this hardware defect. I will provide these to the investigator upon follow-up.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding Tesla's removal of driver-controlled maximum speed in fsd (supervised), a change that has alarmed a significant number of Tesla owners and safety-conscious drivers. Previous software allowed drivers to set a precise maximum speed via the steering wheel scroll wheel while fsd (supervised) was active. Tesla replaced this with fixed "speed profiles" (sloth, chill, standard, hurry, mad max), none of which allow a driver to set a specific speed. Each profile operates at a programmed range relative to the posted speed limit. Even the slowest profile (sloth) has been observed exceeding the speed limit. The system also frequently misreads posted limits entirely. This is a serious safety regression. In winter conditions, a cautious driver may need to travel well below the speed limit due to snow or black ice. Previously, they could reduce fsd's max speed precisely. That is no longer possible, the system determines speed, and the driver cannot override it downward while fsd remains engaged. This concern is not isolated to just me. Online forums and Tesla owner communities have seen widespread discussion and frustration over this change, with many drivers expressing that it has made them feel unsafe and less in control of their own vehicle. Removing precise speed control from a supervised autonomous system directly contradicts Tesla's stated position that the driver remains responsible for safe operation. This is an ongoing issue and not limited to a single date for the "tell us the approximate date this incident occurred. " I request NHTSA: 1. Investigate Tesla's removal of driver-adjustable maximum speed in fsd (supervised); 2. Evaluate compliance with fmvss and driver control guidelines for automated driving features; 3. Require Tesla to restore precise, driver-controlled maximum speed settings.

Subject: Tesla self-driving / autopilot incorrect maneuver at intersection vehicle: Tesla (model: **)?software: full self-driving / autopilot (specify which was active)?date: __[xxx]__?time: _[xxx]___?location: _** carlos, [xxx] ____ (city, intersection or street) description of incident: while the vehicle was operating with Tesla’s driver-assistance system engaged, the navigation indicated the car would turn right at an intersection. As the vehicle approached the intersection and began the maneuver, it unexpectedly continued straight instead of completing the right turn. This caused the vehicle to enter the intersection in front of other vehicles that were stopped at another traffic light. I had to intervene to ensure safety. There was no clear reason for the incorrect maneuver, and the system behavior was unexpected and potentially dangerous. Additional information: •weather conditions: ___good weather _clear__ •traffic conditions: ___lot of traffic people getting off work___ •driver intervention: yes / no (explain briefly)yes heading straight to cars if I had not made a quick maneuver and turn the steering wheel. I would have crash hitting at least one or two cars. •dashcam footage available: yes / no no I am submitting this report so the event can be reviewed for possible software or safety issues with the driver-assistance system.

Vehicle: 2023 Tesla Model Y VIN: [xxx] mileage: approximately 40,531 miles software version: 2025. 45. 9 fsd (supervised) version: v14. 2. 2. 4 while driving on [xxx] near the [xxx] entrance in mission viejo, California, the vehicle was operating under full self-driving (supervised) mode. As the freeway lane ended/merged, the vehicle unexpectedly performed a sudden full stop at freeway speed. There was no visible obstruction in front of the vehicle. Multiple vehicles behind me had to brake abruptly to avoid a rear-end collision. The system did not provide any audible or visual warning before the sudden braking. This has created a serious safety risk due to the high-speed freeway environment. This issue appears to be related to lane-ending or merge interpretation by the fsd system. I am concerned that this behavior could result in a rear-end collision. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am reporting a safety incident involving my Tesla while autopilot/full self-driving was engaged. On February 11, 2025 at approximately 9:22 am, on waccamaw medical park CT conway, SC 29526, I was driving on a normal city street with the system actively controlling steering and speed. Without any warning or alert, the vehicle suddenly steered to the right toward the curb and struck it. I was very attentive, but the steering movement happened too quickly for me to safely prevent the impact. No forward collision warning, lane departure alert, or disengagement occurred prior to the incident. The impact caused damage to the wheel and tire (see attached photo). This behavior appears to be an incorrect steering decision by the automated driving system after misinterpreting the roadway edge or lane boundary. I am requesting review of the vehicle logs and investigation of the system behavior during this event.

The fsd system in my Model Y is hazardous. When I first purchased the car on 2/9/2026, they secretly loaded it with very outdated software, as follows: “software” 2025. 44. 300 full self-driving v13. 2. 9 I’ve already driven this car 9960 miles, about 85% of which was on fsd. I will itemize for you a list of events that have occurred with this car with me driving for which dash cam footage exists: 1. The car attempted to blow past a school bus picking up passengers at about 40 miles an hour without even slowing down. It was stacked with red and yellow lights everywhere and had two extended stop signs. 2. The car blows past police cars parked on the shoulder of the highway with their roof lights on without slowing down or making any attempt to move into the second lane. 3. While transitioning from one highway to another on an elevated single-lane overpass, on two occasions the car elected to depart the only travel lane and hug the concrete wall on the left side, driving in the dead zone. Both the yellow line and the white line were clear and bright. No traffic or obstacles present. 4. Right after exiting a hwy there were two lanes in my direction and one lane of opposing traffic separated by a clear and bright double yellow line. The car chose to drive in the lane intended for opposing traffic. I have dash of this as well. No traffic or obstacles were present. 5. Car made left turn into opposing traffic lanes. 6. When not on fsd, the lane departure avoidance and emerg. Lane departure avoidance features are both highly defective. They read everything as a lane departure— from tire tracks in the snow, to cracks and seams in the concrete, lines of tar intended to prevent water ingress, shadows, etc. Car almost pulled me hard towards construction workers, oncoming traffic, and nearby vehicles. Tesla refuses to disable. When I disable, it reenables every time I drive. 7. It ran over a curb on fsd, twice.

On January 28, 2026, the vehicle (a Tesla Model Y) was operating with the full self-driving (fsd) system actively engaged in normal highway traffic conditions. Without any prior warning messages, chimes, or system alerts, the fsd system abruptly disengaged approximately 1 second before the vehicle steered into a concrete road divider. Component failed: the Tesla full self-driving (fsd) software and underlying perception/control systems failed to maintain the lane and abruptly handed over control with insufficient time to react. The vehicle and its data are available for inspection. Safety risk: the sudden, sub-second disengagement provided the driver with zero time to react, take manual control, or perform an evasive maneuver. This system failure directly resulted in a high-speed collision with a road divider, causing significant vehicle damage and physical injuries to the driver that required medical treatment. Inspection/confirmation: the vehicle is currently subject to an open insurance claim and has been evaluated for repair. Warnings: there were no warning lamps, messages, or requests for the driver to take over prior to the immediate 1-second window before the crash. Evidence: I have downloaded and preserved the complete event data record (edr) and the multi-angle dashcam video files. The edr data mathematically documents the sub-second disengagement, and the video files confirm normal traffic flow with no external hazards forcing the collision. I can provide the edr pdf and video files to NHTSA investigators immediately upon request.

On [xxx], while operating my 2024 Tesla Model Y in full self-driving (supervised) mode, the vehicle experienced an uncommanded steering input leading to a collision. The vehicle was traveling at a very low speed of approximately 5 mph in a clear, simple environment. Despite this walking pace, the fsd software failed to identify a visible concrete curb and initiated a sudden, sharp turn directly into the obstacle without any prior warning or driver input. The fact that the system executed such a violent and erroneous maneuver at 5 mph indicates a fundamental failure in the neural network's object detection and path planning logic. If this logic failure had occurred at higher speeds or near pedestrians, the results could have been catastrophic. The local Tesla service center (watertown, MA) refused to conduct a physical inspection or a log review of the steering torque. They issued a repair estimate of $1,217. 26 while claiming 'no hardware fault codes' were present, thus ignoring the documented software malfunction. As a leaseholder of this vehicle with only 15,489 miles, I am reporting this as a significant safety defect that the manufacturer refuses to investigate. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Date & time: December 25, approximately 6:00 pm location: northbound I-880 between the mowry avenue and thornton avenue exits, fremont, CA weather & road conditions: heavy rain at the time of the incident. Road surface was wet with reduced visibility. Vehicle & system state: Tesla Model Y. Driver assistance / self-driving functionality was active at the time of the incident (traffic-aware cruise control / autopilot functionality). Description of the incident: while driving northbound on I-880 in heavy rain, the vehicle had been operating normally. Without warning, the vehicle appeared to incorrectly detect that it was drifting out of its lane and attempted to correct this perceived drift. Instead of a minor lane correction, the vehicle abruptly applied heavy braking and initiated a sudden and aggressive left steering maneuver. The car crossed approximately four lanes of traffic in the same direction of travel and continued rotating, ultimately performing an unintended u-turn while remaining on the northbound side of the highway. As a result, the vehicle came to a stop oriented against the direction of travel, facing oncoming northbound traffic. Immediately afterward, the vehicle unexpectedly began reversing at high speed without driver input, creating an additional imminent risk of collision with the outer highway wall (noise barrier separating the highway from adjacent residential areas). During this entire sequence of events, I was unable to regain control of the vehicle despite attempting to intervene. There were no vehicles immediately surrounding us at that moment. Had there been nearby traffic, this incident would likely have resulted in a severe or fatal multi-vehicle collision. Occupants: my wife and two young children were in the vehicle. The children were asleep in the back seat, secured in car seats. Outcome: no physical collision occurred. However, the incident caused extreme fear and distress, and we remain shaken by the event.

Approximately one month after purchasing a new vehicle, the steering system suddenly failed without any warning. While the car was parked at home and started normally, the steering wheel became extremely heavy, hot, and then completely locked. The vehicle could not be steered at all and became entirely non-drivable. Multiple warning messages appeared, including warnings related to reduced steering assist effectiveness and lane departure avoidance being unavailable. This occurred at approximately 1,000 miles. The failure happened suddenly with no prior symptoms. This defect created a serious safety risk. If this had occurred while driving, it could have resulted in loss of vehicle control and a potential crash. The vehicle was not drivable and had to be towed to a Tesla service center. The issue has been reported to Tesla and is currently under inspection. The exact cause of the failure is unknown at this time. A sudden and complete loss of steering control on a nearly new vehicle is extremely dangerous and indicates a potential defect in the steering system or related electrical components.

My car installed update v12 (2025. 38. 8. 7) last night. This morning I was driving to work using autopilot when alarms sounded, the hazard lights turned on, and the screen flashed a warning that I had to take over immediately. The message included a note that autopilot had failed due to a "systems error. " the navigation and visualization screen froze, went blank, and took 10 minutes to come back on. I asked Tesla to roll back the update and they have told me that they cannot do that. I came very close to crashing into a concrete guard rail as the car was going around a turn when the system failed.

While driving in rain at night, the vehicle’s automated driving system attempted to make a turn at an intersection near active train tracks. Instead of remaining on the roadway, the system steered the vehicle directly onto the train tracks, where the vehicle became stuck between the tracks and the paved road surface. All four tires were damaged, and the vehicle could not return to the travel lane under its own control. If a train had been approaching, this situation could have resulted in a severe or fatal collision. I had to manually reverse the vehicle a significant distance to return to the roadway. The malfunction appeared to result from the automated driving system misidentifying the roadway under rain and low-visibility conditions. This suggests a recurring risk for any vehicle using the system at this location in similar conditions. The safety issue has not yet been inspected or confirmed by the manufacturer. No warning lights or alerts were displayed prior to the incident. The affected components and system are available for inspection upon request. I also have dash-cam video of the incident documenting the event.

On 11/01/2025 at (12:15 pm]) my Tesla Model Y (VIN: 7saygaee8rf983245) was **parked in park/hold mode** in the winchester park parking lot, los angeles ,California the * navigation was set to an address in the center of the park**. The address on the address log of the car navigation system. The **Tesla gps navigation destination was set to a point marked in the middle of the park** (not a parking spot or road). **without any driver input** (no accelerator pedal pressed, no hands on wheel), the vehicle **suddenly shifted into drive, jumped the curb, and accelerated approximately more than 30 feet] into the park grass**. This caused **damage to wheels, and all the passenger side of the vehicle to impact with a large rock placed in the park **zero pedal input** — confirmed by driver and will be verified in Tesla server logs. No injuries. No other vehicles involved. **root cause**: **full self-driving (fsd) software / navigation system** incorrectly engaged **lane keeping assistance** while parked, triggering **unintended acceleration** via **speed control** logic. The car was on software update and suddenly disappeared. The car **autonomously drove itself** toward the gps point **from a complete stop**. Police report filed to lapd (case #251102900293). Tesla vehicle data report requested. **request NHTSA investigation** into * navigation-induced unintended acceleration from park**.

Fsd tried to pass on the shoulder multiple times and brake checked people multiple times. The fsd is unsafe and getting worse. Speed cannot be controlled. No way to control speed!!!?? did you know this? did you approve it? did elon convince you it is ok?.

I would like to report a significant incident involving the auto-corrective steering in my vehicle. While driving on the highway, the steering wheel experienced a strong jolt, which I believe was caused by the auto-corrective steering system. This resulted in the vehicle spinning three times and ultimately coming to rest on the grassy center divider. Fortunately, no damage occurred at that time, and I initially attributed the incident to road conditions. I continued driving for approximately 30 minutes in rainy weather without further incident. However, a few hours later, during my return journey, the same forceful jolt to the steering wheel recurred about 20 minutes into the drive. On this occasion, the car spun 1. 5 times and subsequently collided backward with the concrete center divider. It is fortunate that no other vehicles were involved, given the heavy traffic and rainy conditions at the time. During both of the incidents, I had both hands on the steering wheel and was not able to correct steering due to the strong force from the steering wheel jolt. I did have a police report filed, but have to get number when I return home.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the full self-driving (fsd) system malfunctioned. While traveling northbound with the flow of traffic in the middle lane of a surface street, the vehicle initiated a sudden right turn onto a freeway on-ramp at excessive speed and without adequate steering input. This resulted in the vehicle colliding with the left-side barrier. The vehicle is currently in the custody of state farm insurance and can be made available for inspection upon request. Dashcam footage of the incident has been preserved. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the unexpected maneuver caused the vehicle to lose control and strike the barrier, placing both the driver and other motorists at risk. The driver had no time to react to this unexpected action. The driver sustained a whiplash injury along with left shoulder and right chest pain. If another vehicle had been present in the adjacent lane, a collision could have occurred. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no. The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center at this time. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? the vehicle has been inspected by state farm insurance for collision damage. A request has been made to Tesla to preserve and provide all electronic data logs, event data, and over-the-air communications. No law enforcement or ems responded at the scene. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no warning lamps, messages, or alerts were displayed prior to or during the incident. The maneuver occurred suddenly and without any indication that corrective driver action was needed.

The full self driving (supervised) adas in this vehicle will react to shadows on the road and can put the car or other cars at risk. We have had multiple instances where, on a sunny day, the car will react to shadows cast on the road and take evasive action like braking or switching lanes abruptly. This can be hazardous due to the random nature of the of the occurrences and them happening at times when a driver may be lulled into a false sense that the car seems to be driving itself well. So far we have been lucky that no other vehicles were traveling too close behind or to the side of us. We have experienced this behavior multiple times and there are other people online who have reported this. The car gave no warning indicators either before, during, or after the occurrence. Note that our car uses a hardware 3 computer. I believe that this issue may have been fixed on newer Tesla cars that use hardware 4.

Tesla’s full self-driving (fsd) system has repeatedly demonstrated unsafe behavior in my 2021 Model Y (VIN [xxx] , ~60,184 miles). The issues involve adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and forward collision warning. Fsd frequently follows vehicles too closely, leaving insufficient distance. When I disengage, I am left with no safe option: braking hard risks being rear-ended and triggers a hard-braking event, while lifting off the accelerator leaves me dangerously close, still flagged as unsafe following. Fsd often waits until less than a mile before highway exits to attempt lane changes, causing last-second darting, missed exits, or unsafe maneuvers. It also performs excessive and unnecessary lane changes that add risk without improving efficiency. Merges are frequently unsafe, forcing me to brake hard to let others pass or accelerate aggressively to avoid being cut off. On several occasions, fsd has jerked or swerved into adjacent lanes without signaling, seemingly triggered by shadows or changes in the road surface. These phantom maneuvers are unpredictable and hazardous. On [xxx] at about [xxx], at a t-shaped intersection, fsd failed to yield to a vehicle traveling straight with the right of way while I was making a left turn. I had to slam on the brakes to disengage, narrowly avoiding a collision. This was the second such incident in the same intersection in one week. These repeated failures—unsafe following, late exit attempts, failed merges, phantom swerves, and failure to yield—create significant risks for me, my passengers, and surrounding drivers. The problem has been reported to Tesla multiple times via in-car voice reports and a written service request, and logs from my vehicle should confirm these events. No warning lamps or system alerts appeared before or during the failures. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I would like to report an incident where Tesla fsd got confused by tire marks on a bridge deck and, soon after, by shadows on pavement. On both occasions, fsd steered the car across the double yellow before returning to its lane. There was no traffic and the car slowed down, so I let it play to see what would happen.

My Tesla Model Y was in full self driving mode when it turned into a garbage truck, leading to a total loss to my car. There were no warnings from the Tesla system that could have helped me prevent the crash. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but my car is not longer usable.

Accident involving my Tesla while the full self-driving (fsd) feature was engaged. Vehicle information: [2022, model - y, ] incident summary: while driving with fsd engaged, the vehicle hydroplaned and the steering wheel started spinning uncontrollably and despite attempts, couldn't regain control of the car, and it spun while crossing lanes. A truck hit the front of the car and ended up on shoulder.

Update to odi 11678614. This problem applies to non-fsd (full self driving) Tesla Model Y cars. Tesla's manual describes autopilot as traffic aware cruise control - it's the first step on non-fsd cars. The second step on non-fsd cars, autosteer, is active lane keeping. In older ys, the first stalk pull engages autopilot, second pull engages autosteer. 2026 juniper doesn't have a stalk - a single scroll wheel press engages both. I read the 300 page juniper 2026 Model Y manual before driving it for the first time. On page 108, it lists 7 things that will cause autopilot to disengage. I presumed that comprehensive list was complete. Unable to attach. Having *autopilot* disengage when turning the wheel in *autosteer* is not listed. During my 59k miles on my 2021 model y, I used autosteer for at least 20k miles. Turning the wheel in autosteer did * disengage autopilot. In my first emergency situation in the 2026 juniper Model Y, turning the wheel * disengage autopilot, and the regen properly kicked in for the disengagement. This action came very close to causing a serious accident. My objections are 1) the action of *autopilot* (disengage / remain engaged) when the wheel is turned in *autosteer* is not documented, and 2) it's different between the old and new ys using the same current software. I understand there were problems with autopilot remaining engaged, and perhaps the change was a good idea; that's an entirely different discussion. Make the action consistent and document it and I'm happy. Summary: in heavy traffic, while on autopilot / autosteer (cruise + active lane keeping), the car beside me suddenly tried to pull into my lane. I made an emergency lane change by turning the wheel, but the cruise also disengaged, (contrary to operation in the prior model) and went to maxiumum regen braking, causing the car behind me in the new lane to nearly rear-end me. Punching the accelerator during the surprising braking avoided the collision.

I've driven my old 2021 Tesla Model Y for 4 years / 59k miles. Four days ago, I got a new 2026 Tesla Model Y. The new y has made a change to the interaction of the cruise control and automatic lane keeping. In the old one, first cruise was enabled, then lane keeping. If you disengaged lane keeping by overriding the steering wheel, cruise control was maintained. In the new y, a single selection enables both cruise and lane keeping. The safety issue is that overriding lane keeping by turning the steering wheel disengages both features at once - the old method kept cruise control enabled. I was driving in heavy traffic today on a 6 lane interstate with cruise and lane keeping enabled. The car next to me abruptly swerved into my lane, causing me to make an emergency lane change to avoid a collision. When I overrode the lane keeping to avoid the other car by turning the steering wheel, my cruise control also disengaged (unlike the old system), which caused maximum regenerative braking to kick in, abruptly slowing me in the new lane. I had to punch the accelerator to avoid being rear-ended in the new lane. This change in lane-keeping / cruise control applies to all new 2025/2026 Model Ys - the "juniper" model update. This change, according to reddit and facebook forums, seems to be universally hated and many other drivers have raised the same safety concerns. I agree with them, but didn't make a report until now because I had not yet experienced an issue where this almost contributed to a high-speed crash. Thank you.

I’ve had to replace the steering rack, upper and lower control arm for the left wheel, entire computer motherboard. I drove the car for less than 70k miles and zero accidents and zero modifications. Yes I am open for inspection. While driving with fsd lane keep failed causing the car to veer to other lane. The Tesla repair shop said the steering rack was sending errors and the whole rack needs to be replaced. They said it was both electrical and mechanical failure. Previously I’ve had the control arms replaced because it was making clicking noise when I turn the wheel. They said it was due to front compliance link and lateral link issues. Also had entire computer board replaced previously. The error message after the incident was lane assist disabled, steering assist reduced. In the maintenance mode it said “ the drive interface (di) or drive inverter (dix) electronic control unit (ecu) detects a low voltage (lv) battery undervoltage event. ”.

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. Com/file/d/1bp11q2d-nrpz8rm1haq2eymaros6ug7h/view?usp=drive_link.

I owned the vehicle less than a month, using full supervised drive, fsd. Today 6/22/2025 1:45 pm almost had an accident. The vehicle was in the right made a left turn crossing a yellow line, then made a turn in a white line, in front of the vehicle behind me. I took control of the vehicle to proceed in the correct lane. On another occasion it made a right turn, corrected itself to the left lane as it should have done. I am hearing impaired, focus on the road, cannot look at the screen monitor while driving. The vehicle stopped, advised me fsd was inoperable, had to manual drive to my destination. There is no warning, alerts for the hearing impaired. Other issues driving in the wrong lane, then at the last minute changes to the correct lane, I am certain cutting off drivers. Unknown.

My 2023 Tesla Model Y has produced concerningly loud mechanical noises while parked, plugged in, and not being driven. I’ve experienced this on two separate occasions—June 17 and June 22, 2025—after the vehicle had been parked for several hours in a garage. Upon waking the car (without driving it), it emitted a very loud and persistent mechanical sound, both while plugged in and even after unplugging. The volume and intensity of these sounds were far beyond normal operation and raised immediate concerns of overheating, component failure, or an underlying safety defect. The experience felt unsafe enough that we considered exiting the vehicle both times. We attempted to schedule a service appointment through the Tesla app, but received no response, and the request appears to have disappeared with no record remaining in the app. Based on the nature of the sound, we’re unsure what it could be, and may indicate a malfunction in the cooling system or battery thermal management. I have video documentation of both incidents, along with video from other nights with similar temperatures where this did not occur, for comparison. I’m submitting this report out of genuine concern for vehicle safety and reliability, especially given Tesla’s known issues with thermal and battery behavior in high-heat conditions. These noises began recently, and we have owned the car since 2022 and have driven it consistently in high texas heat every summer. This suggests a new or developing malfunction, not a feature of normal operation.

Tesla's fsd functions slowly has been reduced in the last years. Firts Tesla disabled the double pull function, resulted taken away the standard cruise control function. Lately, the fully paid ($12000) fsd is not recognizing streetsigns anymore, which worked perfectly before. This function is crucial to manage speeds, lanes, pedestrians and school zones or just attend in public roads! Tesla service center refuses to fix this issue or offer any additional solutions! this is very concerning and those vehicles with full fsd are not safe to operate on public roads anymore! thank you.

We experienced an extremely dangerous and life threatening situation with Tesla y model on Saturday, may 31st around 3:48pm and would like to report to NHTSA. We were driving on rt 3 going towards nashua and my Tesla-y car when the steering wheel froze and I got message that front camera was not working. When I tried to steer the car in the lane, the car suddenly braked and took two 360 degree spins (turns) on the highway with cars streaming at high speed around us. We went from the left lane to the right most lane after two 360 degree spins and ended in the right lane. Luckily, no other autos hit us and I was able to take control of the car and pull over in the right lane. The incident is recorded int the Tesla's harddrive which we can make this available to you. The car started working normally so we drove back home. We have had minor control incidents with the lane assit and auto pilot systems of this car in 2023 and 2024. We have complained and showed the problem to Tesla dealer in watertown, MA. However they said there is nothing wrong with the car. We request you to investigate this incident with Tesla and find out the cause for the car to take this dangerous breaking and spinning incident on a highway. Thanks, rashida and luvai motiwalla (978)996-9535.

This started at about 65000 miles in my 2023 Model Y. The rear camera first lost picture and I received a warning that it may be intermittent. It has progressed now to the point that autopilot, navigation, all cameras, cruise control, auto headlight, and auto wipers are all nonfunctional. The car does not know its location. All safety features such as lanekeeping, cross traffic alert, auto braking are disabled. The rearview camera no longer functions. Software updates no longer complete downloading. While there are numerous reports of computer short circuits in hardware 4 cars, the only solution I am offered is to have the computer replaced at my own cost of just under 3000 dollars. And that would be warranted only for one year or 12500 miles. Reviewing the submissions on the NHTSA website as well as searching online, this problem is not infrequent. I do not feel safe letting my wife or daughter drive the car. Certain 2024 and 2025 models with this problem have been recalled for new computers. This must be expanded to include 2023 models as well.

While driving westbound on lee jackson memorial highway (u. S. Route 50) after passing the intersection with stonecroft boulevard in chantilly, virginia, the autopilot system on my Tesla Model Y malfunctioned. Without any warning or obstacle in my lane, the vehicle suddenly and sharply veered to the right, directly toward two vehicles traveling in the adjacent lane. I was holding the steering wheel at the time and was able to immediately countersteer to prevent a collision. There were no audible or visual warnings from the vehicle before or during the incident. The autopilot system did not display any messages or alerts, and no braking or turn signal was engaged by the system. The lane shift was abrupt and uncommanded. The dashcam footage clearly captured the incident, and it is available for inspection upon request. To my knowledge, the issue has not yet been reproduced or inspected by the manufacturer or service center. The vehicle has not been examined by police, insurance representatives, or others at this time. This unexpected maneuver created a serious safety risk for myself and nearby drivers.

The vehicle's autopilot/full self-driving (hw3) computer has failed at approximately 70,000 miles. Tesla service has diagnosed the vehicle as requiring replacement of the hw3 computer. As a result of this failure, multiple safety related systems are inoperative, including collision avoidance, lane assist, lane departure warning, automatic wipers, and other driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control. The vehicle is also unable to receive over-the-air software updates, including potential safety updates. In addition, the vehicle experiences system lag, including delay when shifting into drive or reverse. The center display is slow to respond, and certain media and software features are no longer functional due to inability to update. This condition increases safety risk because active safety systems designed to assist with collision prevention are disabled. The failure appears to be hardware-related and not due to normal wear. Tesla has confirmed the need for computer replacement but has declined coverage as the vehicle is outside warranty. The failed component should be available for inspection upon request.
