Warnings Problems of Tesla Model Y - part 2

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.

Vehicle information: •make: Tesla •model: Model Y •year: 2024 description of the problem: 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. 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 additionally, because the gps system has failed, the vehicle’s navigation system is inoperable. The gps stays in the last position prior to the update. 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. 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.

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.

Tesla released a feature called obstacle aware acceleration. The owner's manual states: "obstacle-aware acceleration is designed to reduce the impact of a collision by reducing motor torque and in some cases applying the brakes, if Model Y detects an object in its driving path. The touchscreen displays a visual warning and sounds a chime when the brakes are automatically applied. For example, Model Y, while parked in front of a closed garage door with drive engaged, detects that you have pressed hard on the accelerator pedal. Although Model Y still accelerates and hits the garage door, the reduced torque may result in less damage. Obstacle-aware acceleration is designed to operate only when all of these conditions are simultaneously met: drive or reverse is engaged. Model y is stopped or traveling less than 10 mph (16 km/h). Model y detects an object in its immediate driving path. " however, my vehicle (and at least some other Model Y performance models) do not behave in this manner. Rather than reducing motor torque when all of the above conditions have been met, it reduces torque every time the vehicle accelerates from a stop. This has been replicated by my local Tesla service center, and they confirmed the vehicle did not detect any objects in it's path. This is dangerous because the vehicle accelerates so slowly from a stop that I may not be able to avoid an accident if the vehicle doesn't accelerate as expected.

The issue I encountered was with Tesla's Smart summon feature. While using the feature, the car crossed the parking line and crashed directly into a car parked beside it. Happening so quickly I could not react in time. All of the cameras and sensors were in working order and it seems to have been a software related issue. The safety of anyone around the vehicle could have been at risk thankfully no one was hurt. The vehicle has since been inspected by insurance and damages to both cars were repaired. There were no warnings of any kind prior to the collision. I have a video from the on-board cameras of the entire incident.

The front triple camera glass was found to be dirty on the interior part of the glass. I had alerts of camera blocked/blinded and also I had several instances of emergency corrective maneuvers including braking, lane assists and forward collision warnings. Tesla cleaned the interior of part of the glass.

We were in a head-on collision (not our fault) in April. The police determined the combined speed of the crash impact to be 60-65 miles per hour. The 2020 Tesla y  did not deploy its airbags. And as far as we can determine, the accident was not automatically recorded by the Tesla as it should have been. Because the airbags did not deploy, I sustained a fracture to my sternum that traverses over to my collarbone.  we both have tbis and other injuries. With that kind of an impact, one would expect an airbag to protect oneself, yet it did not. There were no warning lights/messages/etc from our vehicle. We are asking that you please look into this safety matter. (especially since you are part of the push to have us own electric cars, they need to be safe for us). I do not know how much longer the Tesla will be available to inspect.

Tesla recently rolled out an update that gives everyone in the us a trial of fsd. After this update I've had numerous situations where the car would panic and act like I was about to collide with a parked vehicle both while driving down a residential street in daytime and when coming around corners. This never happened in previous version. Also the auto windshield wipers no longer work when its raining but will turn on when its dry and cause dirt to smear on the window, mainly when the sun is facing the driver which makes it very dangerous. The last issue is pretty big, the car has been exhibiting severe phantom braking when on the highway using adaptive cruise control (fsd I guess now?).

Tesla is using camera-only detection for forward collision warning system and this leads to numerous false positive alerts. I'm filing a complaint because this did occur today (March 7, 2024), but this has happened countless times in my 2 years of ownership. This particular incident was triggered by cars parked along a curved street in my neighbor, while I was traveling approximately 20 mph with no other vehicles driving around me. These occur from simply driving next to parked cars or slowly approaching vehicles at a traffic light. 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.

Vehicle: Tesla Model Y blue purchased in oct’ 23 Tesla setting: regenerative braking (single pedal driving) issue: brake pedal/acceleration pedal malfunction I was pulling my car out from the parking lot to pick up my mom, from the hospital entrance. I just turned right and had to take an immediate left to leave out of the parking lot. The Tesla was driving at approximately 5 miles an hour at that point. I lifted my foot from the gas pedal for the car to stop with its regenerative braking. However, instead of coming to a stop, the Tesla started rapidly accelerating, with my foot not even on the pedal. When I slammed the brakes, the car was unresponsive and continued accelerating. I started honking madly to warn people that I had no control over the car I was driving. The vehicle continued accelerating over 100-150 meters in 4-5 seconds and banged a parked car (Lexus SUV) at the end of the parking lot. It continued accelerating while pushing Lexus over the curb, destroying road sign poles and landscaping shrubs; crossing the street, and the middle curb. At the end of the street was a tree and a ditch. Lexus couldn’t move any further and Tesla stopped. All airbags deployed. One of the emergency response detection systems called 911 immediately. The first thing the police asked me was if I pressed the emergency brake. I said the car doesn’t have one. I can’t even turn off the vehicle while it is moving. The parking button takes care of it. I used to love my Tesla but I can’t trust it anymore. What I want from them at this time investigate all the incidents thoroughly instead of blaming these as a user error. A) think about adding the redundancy system. Something mechanical where the driver reacts within a couple of seconds. Software bugs are hard and sometimes it is impossible to find the root cause. Logs may not contain everything that you need to debug the problem. Consider it as a p0 issue. B) compensate for the damage and property loss.

Phantom braking when cruise control is on and when I have the right away and cross traffic is stopped at a stop sign. Also with no cars present in front or any side, the car will suddenly brake with cruise control on and I have no reason why? shadows, sun?. Sometimes it brakes easily. Sometimes it brakes very hard like to avoid a crash, but there are no cars around. We hope no car is behind when this happens as the car behind us make run into our car. We live in country. On our drive to our town south of us when we are heading north the car does not brake at the county highway intersection, we have the right away. Heading north the car brakes every time at this intersection. I either have to immediately over ride this action by stepping on the accelerator or turn of cruise control. We also have had this happen on a curve when we meet on coming traffic. Occasionally the car will begin braking when meeting the car during and left bend in the road. Not always, but way too many times.

I was driving to work this morning, February 7th, 2024 driving at freeway speeds. My Tesla touchscreen dropped out and went completely dark. The reset process is to press and hold for about 30 seconds and another 30 seconds for the full restart. I attempted this twice and proceeded to pull off the highway. During this period, I could not see how fast I was driving, whether my brake lights, turn signals, or headlights worked at this time to safely transit through traffic to get off the road. I put my hazard lights on, but again did not know if these worked or not. The screen finally came back online and seemed fine until I could get to work, this was an extremely scary experience and a perfect example as to why all cars should have a cluster driver screen mandatory, I will be getting rid of this car as soon as possible.

I received a false forward collision warning on the intersection of alder woods dr. And sweat leaf te. Intersection for a parked that is legally parked on the street. Tesla's forward collision mistook the parked car, for a moving car. Driving conditions were clear with no snow, no ice or rain. None of the car cameras were blocked either. I took a picture or the street and the car that is parked on the street.

Car slams the brakes while on autopilot with no obstacles on the highway. Car speed reduced at least 20 miles for no reason. Weather was clear.

False forward collision warning took place on Jan 4, 2024 at 6:40pm in herndon, va while I was driving on reston pkwy: I was driving around 30mph on the rightmost lane, Tesla issued a false forward collision warning for a car that was in front of me, right before dulles access rd exit. Driving conditions were clear with no snow, ice or rain. None of the cameras were blocked either, there was no daylight. False warnings (both sound, and red screen flash) created a safety risk by startling me, distracting me and creating unnecessary confusion.

False forward collision warning took place on Jan 3, 2024 at 8:07am in herndon, va while I was driving on eds I took a u turn at the intersection of eds dr to Lincoln pk dr at the dedicated leftmost turn lane. There was a white minivan in front of me, with plenty of space between us, and both cars slowed down, almost stopped. Tesla issued a false warning when I entered the dedicated leftmost turn lane, which created a lot of confusion and stress on my side. Driving conditions are clear with no snow, no ice or rain. None of the car cameras were blocked either.
