Warnings Problems of Tesla Model Y - part 1

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).

Immediately after an over-the-air (ota) update on Aug 8, 2025, my vehicle began showing camera connection errors and disabled multiple safety/adas features. Over the following days, I repeatedly received alerts that aeb was unavailable. The vehicle remained drivable, but aeb and related safety functions were inactive. Chronology: Aug 8, 2025: ota software update to 2025. 26. 6 completed. Right after completion, the touchscreen displayed camera connection errors and disabled aeb / autopilot / cruise control. Aug 11, 2025: while driving, I again received an “aeb unavailable” alert. Similar alerts appeared intermittently throughout the week. There was no water intrusion, impact, or external damage. Cameras were clean and unobstructed. I scheduled the earliest available Tesla service appointment and reported the aeb failure as a safety issue. Service diagnosis: Tesla diagnosed a failure of the autopilot computer (hw3) and ordered a replacement. Cost/coverage: I requested that the repair be covered by Tesla because the failure started immediately after the ota update and I am a paid full self-driving (fsd) purchaser. My request was denied; I was charged ~$1,600 (slightly discounted) for the computer replacement. Safety risk description: the failure disabled aeb and other forward-collision mitigation features without an external cause, beginning minutes after the ota update. I consider this a safety defect because an advertised crash-mitigation system became unavailable during normal use, increasing crash risk. The timing suggests a possible software–hardware interaction (software change triggering or revealing a hardware fault) that could affect other vehicles.

All cameras went blank on vehicle 4 year and 7 months old. All driver assistance systems became suddenly disabled. Tesla service diagnosis established that computer needs to be replaced for a cost of $2,000.

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.

Just days after taking delivery of our first Tesla (2022 Model Y, second-hand ), we experienced a dangerous incident. While autopilot was engaged, the vehicle failed to slow down or properly navigate a curb near a roundabout. Despite our immediate manual intervention, the front wheel was damaged, resulting in loss of steering and a repair bill exceeding $7,000. After the incident, we were surprised and alarmed to learn that Tesla’s autopilot is widely known to be unreliable and risky in urban settings. Yet, Tesla imposes no restrictions or clear warnings on its use in such areas, even where the vehicle’s software could easily identify elevated risks. Autopilot handles highways reasonably well, following lanes, making turns, and maintaining distance from other vehicles. This creates a misleading impression that it will perform just as effectively on city roads. However, city roads are far more complex, and the brief transition from autopilot to human control is often insufficient to prevent accidents. Our experience painfully illustrates this. What concerns us most is that Tesla includes autopilot as a standard feature but fails to adequately educate users about its limitations. There are no effective restrictions to prevent the system’s use in high-risk scenarios, nor are there built-in warnings when the system is engaged in unsuitable driving environments. This creates extremely dangerous situations for customers. Every life is valuable and deserves proper protection. In addition to the physical damage, the emotional toll after the incident has been significant. What feels especially unjust is Tesla’s response. The company has shown indifference, refusing to take responsibility or provide any compensation for an incident caused by clear system design flaws. We are submitting this report in the hope of preventing similar accidents and receiving the compensation we rightfully deserve. (the vehicle issue has been inspected and confirmed by the Tesla service center).

On Tuesday, [xxx], around [xxx] returning home and in my driveway when the following happened. Pulling into the left side of the driveway because a utility van was parked on the right side of the driveway with the rear door and driver’s side door opened with no one in the vicinity. There was not enough room to go forward into the garage. I was almost at a complete stop with the intention of getting out of the car to shut the drivers side door. That was when the car sped up at full speed and turned to the right into the van and continued in the right direction into the garage. The car was headed to the right back corner of the garage smashing into paint cans, a freezer, sink and cabinets. I had no control over the car from the time the car sped up and smashed into the back of the garage and it all happened in a matter of a few seconds. The vehicle has been totaled by the insurance company. This incident was recorded in the vehicle’s computer. The police department was called the same day and a police officer came to the house to record the incident. The car was towed to gerber collision & glass, 10491 corkscrew commons dr. , estero, FL 33928, phone (239) 947-6050. The car computer system should have recorded the event.

The front collision warning is too sensitive and reacts unnecessarily to many events that are not a risk for collision. In addition, the sound of the warning is too loud causing the driver to become unnecessarily startled and may cause possible loss of control of the vehicle.

1. Brake I used the fsd all the way from the new asian market (charlotte, nc) to the t-section of [xxx] and [xxx] (columbia, SC), then changed to driver control and turned to [xxx] (home). Entering the garage, when arrived at the parking spot, I released accelerator pedal and pressed the brake pedal, the car did not stop but pushed forward, and hit a wooden shelf, bbq grill and the drywall. The car, shelf, bbq grill and the wall all damaged. 2. Usb storage the usb memory did not record any information. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

My car is equipped with autopilot feature which I am unable to use due to safety score system designed by Tesla which is used for calculating insurance premiums. This safety score system doesn’t count the miles driven on autopilot and only counts the miles driven without autopilot to decide safety score which impacts insurance premium. This policy forces consumers to drive car without autopilot to increase number of miles driven to compensate for any mistakes made during driving without autopilot. This not only compromises safety of the vehicle and passengers but also deprives me to use features of my car that I paid for. Since autopilot is a supervised driving and requires driver active engagement the miles driven using autopilot should also be counted to decide safety score. Dealership are unable to help with any issues related to safety score system and there is no customer support available to address customer concerns.

I continue to get completely false forward collision warnings. Part of this is because my front camera housing keeps fogging up and over the past 529 weeks I’ve gotten a half dozen false fcws. When these faulty alerts occur, a loud audible beeping is heard and red alerts are displayed on the screen. These faulty alerts are dangerous distractions, causing panic, fear, and uncertainty in the driver, causing them to take their attention off of the road while they assess what just occurred. This is a critical flaw in the functionality of Tesla vehicles that the company has refused to address. This also makes me insurance rate spike way higher and I’m getting charged extra for this.

This report addresses concerns regarding recent safety updates in the Tesla Model Y, specifically focusing on the "rear cross traffic alert" and the blind spot warning system. These updates are intended to enhance driver awareness and prevent collisions. However, there are significant shortcomings in their current implementation that may compromise driver safety. 1. Rear cross traffic alert: intended functionality: the "rear cross traffic alert" is designed to warn drivers of approaching vehicles from the side when reversing, thereby preventing potential collisions. Current implementation: the system currently highlights a portion of the infotainment screen in red when a potential hazard is detected. There is no accompanying audible alert to notify the driver of the danger. Safety concerns: drivers are likely to be looking over their shoulder or at their mirrors while reversing, rather than at the infotainment screen. The lack of an audible alert means that drivers may not notice the visual warning, especially if their attention is directed away from the screen. This could lead to an increased risk of collision, as the visual cue alone may not be sufficient to capture the driver's attention. 2. Blind spot warning system: intended functionality: the blind spot warning system is designed to alert drivers of vehicles in their blind spot when the turn signal is activated, helping to prevent lane-change collisions. Current implementation: similar to the rear cross traffic alert, the system highlights the screen in red when a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. No audible warning is provided to alert the driver. Safety concerns: in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, drivers may rely more heavily on blind spot warnings due to reduced visibility. Drivers typically turn their heads to check for vehicles, which means they may not see the screen's visual alert. Without an audible warning, drivers may inadvertently change lanes into an occupied space, increas.

My advance driving assist (fsd for Tesla) stop working randomly. Adaptive cruse control stoped working, forward collision stopped working. Backup camera randomly disconnect when parking. All of this happened right after a software update. I have contacted Tesla several times. They quoted me $2,666. 96 to address the issue. Isn't this a safety feature of the car specially when I paid $10,000. 00 extra when I purchase the car to have fsd? all of the advanced driving assistance and collision warning stopped working as well.

I initially visited the milford, CT Tesla service department and communicated through the Tesla ap on 12/14/2024 regarding my 2024 Tesla Model Y, which has only 2,357 miles on it. The car's cameras, sensors, & navigation stopped working, making driving unsafe. Now, the bright lights do not go on. The vehicle's camera/sensors are critical for safe operation. Tesla said the car may need a new computer, but they have none in stock. They texted me that they have many people facing the same issues.

Hello , I just bought the new Tesla Model Y 2024 in the October and all of a sudden all the driver assistance programs are not working, including the rear camera(reverse camera) I took it for the service on December 4th and they fixed issue on December 5th. After few days on December 13th the same issue happened again and Tesla service center is saying I need to wait till February 20th 2025 for the repair. All cameras are not working in the car, it does not show any backup camera, no forward collision warnings or no lane change assist Tesla is not considering this as a safety issue I am including a chat summary with the service center via pdf file. I have included previous repair invoice also when the same issue happened on 4th December.

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 thanksgiving. I scheduled the soonest appointment available at 12/24 however Tesla contacted me and moved my appointment because they stated that the part was unavailable at this time and should be delivered by 01/20/25. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new '24 Tesla. It has just over 4000 miles on it and is ~2 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.

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.

Ap4 computer failure has led to navigation, cameras, blind spot monitoring, lane departure and other systems being inoperable. Tesla has stated they don’t have the parts to fix and have pushed out my service repair time twice already. Issue reported on December 4th, since then no time table for repair has been given. Tesla keeps stating the car is operable, leaving out the facts it’s dangerous to drive due to small rear windows and blind spots based on the cars design to work with operable cameras that give the drive clearer angles to view.

Computer system failure causing all cameras to fail, mirrors to stay darkened even in daylight, navigation system not updating, collision and lane departure feature failure. Issues were reported to Tesla and an ap 4 computer replacement were scheduled, however service has been delayed for several weeks ( now 9 Jan 2025). The car does not feel sufficiently safe to drive with the impaired mirror visibility couples with the lack of any cameras or safety features working.

The automatic pilot computer (ap4) failed. This controls a lot of Tesla Model Y's auto pilot features but it also controls a lot of its safety features such as the back up camera, forward collision warning and blind spot warning. Another safety concerns is the gps navigation is no longer function because of the ap4 failure. Navigation is critical in the Tesla ecosystem in order to navigate the charging infrastructure to maintain a charge during road trips. Tesla has admitted to the issue but has done nothing to fix it. I have attached screen shots of the conversation with their service technicians. There is also a picture of the ap4 short remove and replace task for service.

My new 2024 Model Y Tesla is having a computer failure - no navigation / gps (stuck at last address when issue occurred) and no cameras (including rear camera). With limited rear windshield visibility and no backup camera functionality, we've been put in dangerous situations. They keep pushing out the service dates waiting on new parts / computers. I found this article that details the widespread issue and parts shortage. Https://electrek. Co/2024/12/16/Tesla-major-issue-self-driving-computer-inside-new-cars/.

Around the end of November, my 2024 Tesla Model Y's cameras stopped functioning. The sensors for blind spots and possible collision prevention stopped working. The gps was also not working, the car believes it's been in the same spot for over a month. The lights of the car also do not work as promised, as now I have to manually turn them on on my dashboard and it goes on and off. I have been trying to get into Tesla to have this fixed but the appointment keeps getting pushed out due to the part that needs to be fixed not being in stock. I brought my car into Tesla for them to confirm that it is the part that is missing and that is the case but they couldn't fix it because they don't have the part. It's been over a month and my date was pushed out again, probably the sixth or seventh time. Tesla claims that there will be a software update that will fix this issue, however, my car is not updating and won't even accept a software update.

Back in late November 2024, Tesla pushed an over-the-air (ota) update to my 2024 Tesla Model Y. Immediately after pushing this ota, all of my car's cameras stopped working (including my rear or "backup" camera). This is in violation of federal law as all new vehicles are required to have a backup camera. Additional safety-critical items were also impacted: the rear-view and both of the side mirrors remain tinted to the darkest level, reducing my visibility. The side mirrors are also tilted in the "downward" position, making lane changes incredibly difficult. Since the front-facing and side-facing cameras do not work the vehicle's forward and side collision detection systems are inoperable. The vehicle suffers from additional failures (gps navigation, maps, autopilot, among many others). I have presented these issues to Tesla and they have continously pushed out my repair date. I have also asked for a loaner vehicle due to the failure of the car's safety systems (some of which are federally mandated!!). Tesla has ignored my pleas for a loaner vehicle and has also remained silent when I have repeatedly asked to return the vehicle under washington state lemon laws. My safety and the safety of others have been put at grave risk due to the backup camera and collision detection cameras not working. Tesla has not inspected the vehicle as they continuously push my service date further out. No obvious warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms appear. The user doesn't know these federally-mandated safety features are inoperable until they put the car in "reverse" or attempt a lane change.

I ketal patel was driving at around 50mph with 100% visibility and in few seconds I got in to fog ( see pic shows clear condition ). I took of the accelerator and Tesla slow down but not like it normally does auto braking ( hold mode ). The car in front of me that I didn't see was in the dense fog section in full stopped state and I crash into her. With no visibility and driver in front in full stop condition I could not avoid accident. I had not time to react. At the time crash my speed might be around 10/15mph. The point I am trying to make is Tesla y model which is using camera based collision prevention didn't delect car in front of me maybe because of fogged camera. Tesla y didn't warned me for collision to avoid car crash. Tesla y also blanked out on screen, didn't show me lanes which in normal case does. On the screen usually it show all the car moving around plus the object around the car but it didn't display anything. Tesla y completely fails in foggy conditions as it uses camera to detect and we crashed with no warning or auto braking. I have recordings from all four cameras recored and also collision.

None of the cameras work in the Tesla. Unable to use any safety features. No reverse camera. Any adaptive cruise control, safety features are all disabled. Two months to get it repaired and serviced.

My car slammed on the brakes on the highway this morning at 75 mph. A box truck was following me but thankfully he didn't hit me. I was in what Tesla calls traffic aware cruise control (tacc) at the time and quickly brought the car out of tacc and hit the accelerator to get me back up to speed so I didn't pose a danger to other drivers on the highway. I dont know exactly how much my car slowed, but it was enough to throw me forward in my seat. There were no vehicles in front of me at the time. This was a classic example of "phantom braking", which is talked about a lot in the Tesla community. This is my 2nd report of phantom braking to the NHTSA.

On Friday 10/11 at 10:45 a. M I was in traffic on day street in moreno valley, California. This was the third time I experienced a sudden unintended acceleration with my Tesla. I would have hit the car in front of me, but I was able to swerve into an island on my left to avoid the car. The car went over the curve and stopped. I am unsure what happened but after my prior experiences, I knew how to react. Had I not reacted swiftly, I would have hit the car in front of me. There were no warning messages. I have an appointment with Tesla on wed 10/26. When this happened the first time, they claimed there was nothing wrong with the car, but I think they are not looking hard enough. I am aware of a voltage problem that other Tesla owners have experienced that can lead to sudden unintended acceleration.

Multiple, random occurrences of hard braking at highway speeds when there was no object or obstruction ahead. In the 2-1/2 years we’ve owned the car this has happened on two lane and multiple lane highways, generally at speeds over 50 mph. Also, the windshield wipers randomly deploy even when turned completely off. They generally work when it’s raining but the delay function is also randomly not in sync with the settings or actual rainfall.

First time when it happened, I was able to control and it went to back to normal. I did not pay attention after. Second time I took right turn and the car drove in left lane but this time I felt steering was rigid and was unable to control the steering and hit a tree. Driver seat air bag was deployed and all doors were locked. Gel from air bag burned my right hand wrist.

Airbags (any) failed to deploy in a hard impact t-bone collision with another vehicle, endangering occupants. Vehicle is being inspected by insurer.

Tesla met with an head on collision with another Toyota. Tesla’s airbags didn’t deploy and I had my 6 year old in car as well. The other car which was 2007 Toyota, its airbag still worked.
