Warnings Problems of Tesla Model Y - part 2

Backing up in a parking lot with direct sun behind the car, lost sight via the mirrors, dashboard camera and parking assist and collided with parking bollard approximately 3' high causing extensive damage to the left, rear quarter panel and wheel well. Parking assist didn't beep, blare or other as it does and has for our yard waste bins and garden cart at the edges of our driveway (backing up in the dark). I believe the fact that cameras only and sun exposure is a bad mix and was sure glad we weren't in fsd and going forward. I think that removing the radar function via software and or removing the connector plug (at a service visit) is both unsafe and a fraud against the purchaser of such a vehicle and radar systems should be reinstated for the consideration of safety whether going backwards or forwards. Wanted to make the complaint first as we also can't get a service appointment for this incident until the end of July. Happy with the overall vehicle but this safety function is fallible and unsafe.

Brand new vehicle, the vehicle cameras do not seem to be conveying the correct information to the control systems resulting in all related safety features like forward collision, parking assist, lane departure, automatic wipers, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, green light chime, etc are not working. In the last few months these features have not been operational for more than a few days. This is a major safety flaw with this vehicle and the local dealer is unable or unwilling to help.

Summon feature has never worked properly and has always tried to crash itself into cars next to it or drive the wrong way down the parking lot with no one inside. I have several videos of the car trying to crash itself after driving less than 4ft out of a parking spot at walmart. Couldn't even make it 100ft to the shopping cart deposit. You cant summon and record at the same time with your phone so when it failed I switched to record. Before that car was driving itself up the sidewalk towards the entrance of the building where people were entering and exiting, thank goodness for the concrete pilons. This car is worse than a piece of garbage its an intentional death trap and liability on wheels. I feel like they're trying to murder me for reporting them. I am in fear for my life. I am still censored online and just an hour ago I had a us government vehicle just about rear end me at 30mph+ over the speed limit. I have it on dashcam. Then they just followed me thru traffic for the next ten minutes. This is rackateering and fascism. Everyone said hitler was a great guy and ignored all the people he was killing for personal gain. How is this any different than Tesla and the us government in bed together passing each other tax incentives and sales contracts like its sugar free candy while silencing and trying to kill and smear whistleblowers like me. I am beyond repulsed that the NHTSA has allowed this vehicle to still be on the road driving uber and lyft customers around. But that's what they want, a witness like me earning less than minimum wage while his car tries to kill him and any crack head can just get in my car and shoot me in the back of the head so I can't testify. What's stopping blackrock or ark financial from jumping on the dark web and hiring a crackhead hitman? wouldn't be the first time a crackhead got in my uber and kept dropping his gun. That's right, nothing. . Read more...

The Model Y with autopilot plus and autopark enabled lurched forward and crashed into a wall during parking. Just as important a concern is that the car never made a beep, chirp or any other indication or warning that it ever even realized it was driving into an obstacle. We are certain the collision would not have happened had Tesla not removed ultrasonic sensors from the car because the driver has driven many Teslas and even owned a Tesla before but all had uss sensors in them.

Tesla purposely disabled sensors to warn when close to objects (curb, other vehicles, garage door opening & wall). I wasn’t informed that there will be no parking assist feature indefinitely when I spoke to sakes dept. Tesla says it is still developing cameras to replace sensors. I had a 2015 Tesla, which had these warnings. Before that I had a2002 Jaguar with park sensors. It is not new. Because of lack of reliable sensors, I am afraid to use any of Tesla’s driver assistance features. I was told by service manager that sensors only “see” a few feet, while cameras can see infinitely. This is doubtful. But at this point, I have neither. In fact, when parking in tight places, “infinite” camera vision would be useless. Seeing that I’m inches away from an obstacle is useful. I have been told that when a car comes in for Tesla service and still has sensors, the sensors are removed without the owner’s knowledge.

Tesla removed the parking sensors and replaced them with a "vision" system. My last Tesla has the parking sensors and the parking distance and chimes worked great. The new vision system works rarely. I've run into stuff in the garage while parking, it doesn't sense walls, doesn't work in the rain, you have to wait for an extended period of time for it to "load" and it randomly doesn't work. You'll get a message saying something to the effect of park assist unavailable. I've asked Tesla to address the issue but it's a problem I don't think they can solve as they are trying to get cameras to see where they don't have a field of view. In the image below I am about 18 inches from my garage door and it's not even being registered. The curb to the side is registering but not the giant wall behind me.

When reversing, the backup camera does not display realtime video. It will display footage that is paused or behind. The pedestrian warning sound occasionally does not "load" when backing up. This has lead to near miss collisions when reversing and has put pedestrians at risk of not hearing the vehicle in motion, whilst being unable to see realtime footage below the rear tailgate. When the car is left in a parking lot or driveway for several hours, the camera will not "load" completely and leads to this condition. It cannot be reproduced unless the car has been sitting for several hours, as most driving events begin. The vehicle was inspected on 4/25/2023 by the manufacturer and have stated the vehicle is operating as expected. The symptoms cannot be captured by an image, only video.

This 2023 Model Y has no collision warning. This was not what I expected when I purchased.

The back up camera is misaligned and shows the car in the wrong position. The poor rear visibility, combined with the “coming soon“ parking sensors means it’s very dangerous to backup the vehicle.

Bought 2023 Tesla Model Y on 29-Dec-2022. Noticed that when I am backing up the car, even when there is another car right behind, or any pedestrian crossing there was no warning. At first I thought some settings is turned off. Later, when I was changing lanes in freeway, no lane departure alert. Also no blind spot chime came on even though that option was turned on in settings. Almost I was about to crash into another car which was in my blind spot. I started googling and learnt that Tesla has removed ultrasonic sensors from oct2022 onwards and they are working on Tesla vision which is a camera based system. But Tesla vision is not ready as of 08-Mar-2023 when I am writing this. How is the 2023 Model Y manufactured without ultrasonic sensors and no Tesla vision passed basic safety test? I feel threatened every moment I drive the car without these basic safety features like rear object detection while backing up, lane departure alert, curb sensor alert, blind spot warning. I feel like I am driving a 2000 model old car which doesn't have any of these features. How does NHTSA deem Tesla cars manufactured after oct22 safe on roads? I will be at financial burden and stress and risk of death without these basic features in a 70k+ car. . Read more...

Park collision warning is defective. I have learned that Tesla has disabled park assist on this vehicle and on model 3/y manufactured after October 2022 despite still advertising this functionality in the current user manual. This is because they have transitioned from ultrasonic sensors to a purely camera based system. However, their camera based software has not been enabled for park assist. As a result of this, I had a minor impact while parking due to expecting an audible 'beep' or screen indication of distance from objects, as I have had in my prior Tesla. However, I received no such warning. Also, Tesla poorly communicated to users, many of whom have had this functionality in prior Teslas, that this functionality has been disabled. In speaking with Tesla service, I was informed that Tesla has disabled park assist until a software update will be available. However, until the software update is made available, this is a safety defect that should be communicated through a recall to all owners.

I ordered the car with parking sensor feature standard similar to my daughter car Model Y 2022 which she bought a couple of months earlier. Tesla removed the parking sensor without advising me. This sensors are vital for safety of pets, children and obstacles during parking.

Tesla advertised that Tesla vision will replace the ultrasonic sensors (uss) and help with park assist. Before buying the Tesla Model Y Tesla representative assured me that Tesla vision will function to replace the uss. Currently my Model Y has no visibility to any objects near the vehicle. The lake of sensors caused me to hit concrete blocks in parking spots. The lack of these sensors may cause serious accidents around the vehicle while moving out of garages.

The Tesla Model Y blind spot warning system does not accurately detect the position of cars in the lanes next to the car. The display shows the car as behind the vehicle while it is actually at the rear quarter panel. There is only an audio warning if the turn signal is activated. The car is in the blind spot yet the system does not warn the driver. I took the car in for an adjustment to cameras and Tesla said they are functioning as designed. Tesla removed the radar sensors that aid in parking at low speeds. This was intended to be replaced with Tesla vision. Tesla vision functionality is not yet available. Although a low-speed collision with an object may not result in injury to a person, it is a safety feature that has been removed. The windshield wiper's speed cannot be adjusted or even started on the stock. To change speed or turn on the wipers you must look away from the road, locate the control panel and then select the desired speed. This clearly is a safety hazzard.

The car advertising having uss when place the pre-order. But when pick up the vehicle, uss is not there.

The uss park assist safety feature was eliminated from the vehicle without providing an alternative method or feature to monitor the front of the parked car in case an object or child was placed in front of the car after it was parked. The original uss park assist feature would detect this but the current vision feature would not if the object or child is closer than 3 feet. It is irresponsible for a car manufacturer to eliminate a safety feature without providing a similar function as a substitute immediately. Just promising that this will come in the future should not be acceptable to the NHTSA. No problems have been recorded to date but this is just an accident waiting to happen. I'm asking the NHTSA to contact Tesla to require an immediate resolution.

When I purchased this vehicle, I was told that all adas features would be available once the cameras calibrated (approximately 50 miles). After 100 miles my wife bumped into a wall in our garage. I opened a ticket and Tesla said the adas features are unavailable until a software update is sent. The sales person who I spoke to were not aware of this. This is extremely dangerous. Drivers are reliant on warnings from features like this and to have the features off without a warning could get someone run over.

I started a drive from my house. I entered a destination into the nav system, it plotted a route. I then proceeded to start my drive. When I tried to backup, the backup cameras did not display any video, I waited over 1 minute and there was still no video. I then proceeded with my drive. The car would not start the cruise control, autopilot or fsd functions. Whenever I tried to engage the systems the car would state that they are unavailable. At this time, I also noticed that the nav system was not updating the display, it continued to display the same image that showed that I was at home in the driveway. After 15 minutes, I pulled into a parking lot to video the problem. First, I put the car in reverse and recorded that the cameras did not display video for over 30 seconds, I then started to drive and recorded that the navigation display was not updating. The display that usually has the lane markings and displays the other vehicles was also not working, there was no information other than a picture of my car with a totally blank gray area around it. I have contacted Tesla about the problem, but they keep saying that they don't detect any problem with the car. I sent them the video and am waiting to hear back from them.

Car did not stop after I parked and continued to go forward and hit another parked a car even with my foot on the break. No warning light of any sor. This incident happened at 5:35 pm pacific time on Monday, September 12. I made an appointment with the service department and it took the car there on September 23, 2022, . They only asked me about the time this happened and they said you’re going to send it to engineers and will get back to you. They did even care to look at the car or inspect it. Since then, no one ever contacted me. I was lucky that this truck was in front of my car otherwise if there was anyone walking they would have been killed.

The driver infotainment system locks up randomly. Which makes all safety features, turn signal indicators, backup camera, reverse mode (mirrors drop), speedometer, collision sensors, etc non-functional. Until either the system crashes or finally unfreezes. This also removes one-pedal driving as well when frozen. Version is 2022. 16. 3.

2021 Tesla's rear-view camera and collision warning systems did not activate when backing out of a parking spot. Tesla screen showed the navigation map instead of the rear-view camera while I was backing out at low speed ~2 mph. A 2003 Honda pilot directly behind me was also backing up at the same time resulting in a collision. After the crash, I confirmed that all safety features were enabled and I have always installed all regularly scheduled updates. After searching online forums, I found many customers reporting problems with their on-screen camera not activating. I have noticed that the camera did not consistently activate in the past. Sometimes it would, other times I would have to manually press the camera button on-screen in order to view behind me. There were no on-screen notifications of problems before the event. However, there was one notable change I made to re-enable sentry mode (security) after being disabled for some time. Prior to the event, I was notified that two sentry camera events were available to watch but they would not load when I touched on screen. After the crash, I discovered after the crash that both sentry and dash cam were not working so there was no footage at all of the crash! nor were these sentry events visible. This leads me to believe there is a bug with the camera system.

In accelerating of itself, both my own life and that of a potential bystander were in danger. I had no time to react to the sudden acceleration. This has never happened to me in over fifty years of driving and it was very obviously the result of a car malfunction. In addition, the automatic emergency braking function failed. There were no previous messages, symptoms, or signs. The car has been at the shop for three months. The dealer has failed to give us any feedback as to why the accident happened. All they have said is that they don't have the parts that they need to change. It was only after two and half months that they reached out to me. During one of my visits, one of the dealer's service representatives took me aside to inform me that she could not divulge any information about the causes of the accident, and that my case was a “legal one”. I still don't know what any of this means. In addition to all this, the pen drive located inside the glove compartment of the vehicle only has two days of picture and video information, and the file of the day of the accident is empty, which is extremely suspicious. I suffered burns from the airbag, and my cervical region was affected.

1. Pulling the car into a parking spot at a low speed (tight parking space for which you had to turn the car at a 90 degree angle, so had to be slow). 2. Applied brakes but the brakes didn't work. 3. Car went through very thick hedges and over a ledge (parking collision and emergency brakes didn't work). Follow filed a data request with Tesla and they denied the request.

Pulling into a parking space, at very slow speed, pressed service brake to stop car. The car suddenly accelerated at high speed, hit a tree directly in front of the space, veered off and sprinted across another parking space and a two lane passage, hit a brick pillar, veered into the wall of a restaurant, bounced off the wall and back into the street. All airbags deployed. No one was injured. Car probably totaled.

Phantom breaking while using adaptive cruise control. Happened 3 times in past two months. First two times were traveling on a major highway, both on a hilly section at the bottom of a hill, with no other cars nearby. The car apparently thought the hill was something that should cause the breaks to engage. Car went from about 70 to 55 in a few seconds. Very startling. The third time was on a residential road, going about 38-40. There were no cars nearby, and the breaks engaged abruptly. The safety implications are obvious, although luckily there were no cars behind us when the breaks went on. We reported these incidents to Tesla today and asked for a service appointment. A Tesla representative called us and said we had assumed these risks when we bought a Tesla, there was nothing they could do, and it was probably driver error. They did agree to make an “internal report. ” we told them we would report this to you. This is our second Tesla. We had a 2018 model 3 and never had any problem like this. We wanted more storage space and higher seating, so we sold the 3 and bought the y in July 2021, not understanding that Tesla had changed to an “all camera,” no radar/lidar safety system. Add us to the growing list of evidence that the new system is dangerously faulty.

The car was almost parked and the parking button was about to pressed when the car suddenly accelerated hitting a light pole in front on the passenger side and the car ended up on a lane in a four lane local road perpendicular to traffic flow. The accelerator was definitely not pressed. I have been driving the car for last year and three months and have 26000 miles on it. There was no warning of nearby obstacles or any beeps.

The backup warning system did not work when I backed out of a driveway on a dark night. I knew there was a black car (sedan I believe) parked along the curb across from the driveway, and could partly see it in the backup camera when the tail lights would turn on (I. E. , when I stepped off the drive pedal), but was unable to tell exactly how close I was to the car. There were no beeps from my car to warn me. My car stopped abruptly as the edge of my trunk lid hit what I guess was the corner of the other car. All damage appears to have been to my car - a dent in the trunk lid. I reported all of this to Tesla through their service app, and received a list of places from which I can get an estimate to repair the damage, but never received an explanation from them of their evaluation of the car's records I want to point out that I believe my Tesla includes all camera sensors - a change they apparently made over the summer. My car was ordered in June 2021 for September delivery.

Sudden, hard self breaking when in autopilot mode. Danger of collision at high speeds.

First, the car was not in auto pilot mode or cruise control. The car was driven into the garage, 22 inches from the landing and put in park. The “p” was lit so it was in park when it suddenly lurched forward and hit the landing and the four way flasher came on. Damage has been repaired but was $2500. Per Tesla, the car was not at fault and the car functioned as intended but it was driver error. With all the safety features that this car has, why did it not sound a warning or apply brakes to prevent this from happening. I have read about hundreds of thousand’s of incidents of sudden unintentional acceleration but yet nothing has been done about it. There is another problem with phantom braking when the car suddenly stops if you use the cruise control. I do not use cruise control because of this problem. Tesla continues to add games and other nonsense but have done nothing to fix these problems. I reported this to the minnesota attorney generals office and they suggested that I contact the NHTSA. Their response from Tesla was also that it was driver error and it was not, the car was in park.

I put the car into the parking mode to back into a stall between two cars. The car backed into a shopping cart at the rear of the car to my left. There was a woman putting groceries into her trunk standing next to the shopping cart. I was able to stop the car before any damage to the cart or my car. The woman was never in danger of being hit. I asked the Tesla service department to check out the sensors but the said that there was nothing wrong with the car and refused to check out the sensors unless I paid to have the check them out. They also refused to make a report of the issue. They said that the sensors "probably" saw through the cart and that it was my responsibility to make sure that the auto-park worked properly.

I purchased the Tesla full self-driving capability via subscription for my 2021 Tesla Model Y on Saturday, July 17, 2021. On Sunday, July 18, 2021 at approximately 12:40pm CT. While activating the Smart summon feature in a private residential parking lot, the car drove itself into a tree damaging the front of the car resulting in a total cost of $1,799. 32. Tesla is refusing to refund me the $200. 00 for the self-driving subscription after their software malfunctioned. This is a dangerous feature that is available to millions of drivers.

I had turned into the taco bell address: 5217 mudd tavern rd, woodford, va 22580 when the car surged and sped. I was able to avoid a person and the dog. But the car continued to accelerate. I tried to utilize the brake system but it did not engage and continued speeding into the next parking lot address 5217 mudd tavern road, woodford, va 22580. The car did not stop for trees and so I had to stop the car by impact with a dumpster in the best western plus parking lot. This happened on June 5th 2021. I have tried to get the video from the hotel but to no avail. The senior deputy is [xxx] spotsylvania county. They have the scene photographs. His email is [xxx]. Phone [xxx] ext 3936. The case file number is [xxx]. Over the last 40 years of driving my records are excellent. I really would like to understand the reason for the crash. I am not getting any assistance in a rapid manner to determine the cause. Since I have driven multiple car type over the years I need to understand why this car caused this. Hoping nobody else has to go through this. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I pulled up next to a parking space in a parking lot and the Tesla auto park feature was offered on the screen after detecting the parking spot. I pressed to auto park and the Tesla proceeded to perform the auto park. During the parking the Tesla hit the truck parked in front of the Tesla while turning into the space and broke the taillight of the truck and scratched the Tesla on right front side. I then braked and disable the auto park after the collision. I reported the incident to Tesla and they reported back that they don't see any issues with the sensors at that time and they say I need to take full responsibility. I cannot think of anything that was particularly challenging for this parking spot or surroundings. It seems a bad calculation by the sensors of Tesla or the software and it made a mistake. Given this experience I cannot trust any of Tesla autopilot features now. They have concluded they will not do anything about it.

In the process of filing a claim court against Tesla for garage door closing on my vehicle (because of homelink). Multiple damages and no help from Tesla at all. Homelink was installed on my Tesla y in February and the door closed twice on my vehicle while I was parking the car.
