Purchased a pre-owned 2024 Tesla Cybertruck directly from Tesla and took delivery on October 1st, 2026. Before delivery, I noticed the tailgate would not latch properly. A Tesla employee forced it closed, but the truck was delivered with the problem unresolved. After delivery, the tailgate unexpectedly opened multiple times while I was driving, including on the highway. I had to pull over to close it. This endangered me and other motorists. I requested service on October 2nd, 2026, and brought the truck to Tesla on October 14th. Tesla subsequently repaired the tailgate, but the problem was apparent before delivery. The rear camera was scratched or damaged at delivery and later replaced by Tesla. I have also experienced interruptions to Tesla’s self-driving or driver-assistance features when camera functions were unavailable, raising concerns about camera-dependent safety systems. The truck also shakes and makes unusual noises above about 70 miles per hour. The cause has not been identified, and the vibration remains unresolved. I do not feel safe driving it at highway speeds until it’s inspected. Shortly after delivery, I found numerous cockroaches and ants, particularly around the bed and tailgate. My daughter has a documented cockroach allergy, which makes exposure a serious concern for my family. Tesla service described the infestation as a hazard and said service could not proceed until professional cleaning was completed. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe. I have ser

The PCS2 (Power Conversion System) is an integrated power module that handles AC home charging, DC-DC conversion for the 48V low-voltage systems, and PowerShare (V2L/V2H). • The Defect: Early units (mostly pre-2026 and Foundation Series models) suffer from thermal fatigue in the AC charging MOSFETs. • Symptoms: AC charging speeds drop from 48 amps to 24 amps, error codes like PCS2_a136_cycloAMosfetHealthCheckFailed appear, and AC/home charging eventually fails completely.

Tires
Filed Oct 15, 2026CA

All tires have upper side wall and tread cracks and tears. This is causing the tread to fall off in pieces and chunks of tire tread with a size of 1 inch diameter or more are going is missing and the tire wire mesh underneath the tread is exposed. All tires have similar issues and several tread areas have signs of tread peeling and about to fall off. Tire issue was reported to Tesla at around 6,000 miles when a tire rotation was refused from local tire shop. I took vehicle in for service and Tesla did nothing about it. I took truck back again at around 7,000 miles and the issue again was ignored and they told me to deal with manufacturer. I called manufacturer and they only offered a partial credit but I am responsible for full tax, disposal and labor. The tires currently have about 7,500 miles and my truck in only 15 months old. Looked online for researched and there are many other cybertruck owners experiencing the same exact issue with tire tread separation. Internet sources state the problem is due to Dry Rot which causes tire tread separation, cracking and separation of internal foam sound insulation. Several owners have experienced tire blowouts and most also are unaware of tire issue and only become aware when in process of tire rotation which is recommended at about 6,250 miles

Today, I nearly ran someone over, and felt the need to send this feedback, as I never saw a person in my A-pillar blindspot. I was driving manually, making a left-hand turn, and never saw the man pictured below. He walked perfectly as to be obscured by my A-Pillar the entire time. I caught a flash of him sprinting out of the way in my driver’s side window as I nearly ran him over. (I am working on a road-capture mobile application that happened to be running on my phone in the center of my windshield at the time, resulting in this image. This mount was not obscuring my vision, nor that of FSD. FSD was inactive, I was driving manually.) Obviously I accept fault here, but I can’t help but feel that Tesla has an opportunity to make the Cybertruck safer here, likely through software. I have FSD, I believe the cameras saw him fine, but I did not see him for even a second. There has to be something Tesla can implement here that would alert me of his presence, stop me, apply the brakes, something. Something that didn’t activate today.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the steering wheel became unresponsive, and the vehicle crash into eight vehicles parked along the side of the road. The contact attempted to turn the steering wheel away from the vehicles but was unable to regain control of the vehicle because the steering wheel was firm. Following the crash, the vehicle was towed to a dealer and then to a body shop. The contact instructed the body shop not to perform any repairs because until the vehicle was thoroughly diagnosed. However, the body shop was unable to perform a diagnostic test or retrieve the EDR information. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but refused to assist with the request to investigate why the steer-by-wire system failed. The vehicle was inspected by the body shop but not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,000.

While driving on a highway with Full Self-Driving engaged, I approached an exit and applied steering input to take control. I expected the system to disengage and the Cybertruck to follow my steering input. The vehicle did not respond in the manner I expected and left the paved roadway, entering a grass field. To my knowledge, it did not strike another vehicle, guardrail, tree, or structure. The airbags nevertheless deployed, and a collision event was indicated. I cannot determine from my observations what triggered the restraint system or whether contact with the ground or another condition played a role. After the vehicle came to rest, it lost power to the extent that it would not operate normally and I could not access parts of it by the usual means. Tesla personnel attempted to supply external power but could not restore normal operation. They ultimately had to force access to the trunk to retrieve belongings. The disabled vehicle was towed to Tesla’s Mechanicsburg Service Center and then to Sun Motors Collision Center. I notified Tesla and requested an explanation specific to this incident. Tesla has provided me with vehicle data through its privacy process. Unfortunately, Tesla stated most of the data was unavailable without explanation, such as video recordings and event data. In correspondence through September 17, Tesla referred to general driver responsibility and collision-related warranty coverage, but I have not received a technical explanation that resolves the

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with Tesla service, involving repeated failed repair attempts, inaccurate representations that the vehicle was ready for pickup, and unprofessional conduct by the service manager, Kris. I initially brought my vehicle in for service due to a critical error. After being notified that the vehicle was ready for pickup, I arrived and discovered a fluid leak underneath the vehicle. The vehicle had to be taken back in for further inspection, resulting in a wasted trip. I was later notified again that the vehicle was ready. I returned, and at that time the vehicle presented a new alert (“Trailer functionality may be unavailable”), which had never appeared prior to service. Due to this, I left the vehicle again for additional work. Following this, I had a phone conversation with the service manager regarding the ongoing issues. During that call, I explicitly asked that the call not be ended while I was addressing the situation. Despite that, the call was ended. This conduct is unacceptable, particularly given the repeated service failures and the time and inconvenience this situation has already caused. After that, I received another email directly from the service manager confirming that the vehicle was ready for pickup. I returned for a fourth time based on that representation. Upon arrival, I was told that I was “misunderstanding” and that when the vehicle is marked as ready for pickup, it does not necessarily mean t

Component AffectedComponent Name: Electrical System / Engine Cooling / Climate ControlSpecific Part: Front grille/louver assembly and HVAC condenserComplaint The front grille and louver area of the Tesla Cybertruck features an inadequate design that fails to protect critical cooling components from ordinary road conditions. The wide openings allow predictable road debris to easily enter the front end, causing direct impact damage and structural failure to the HVAC condenser. Tesla corporate communications acknowledge this vulnerability occurs but classify the resulting damage strictly as an "outside influence" rather than a systemic design defect, thereby refusing warranty coverage. This structural failure occurred on my vehicle despite recently undergoing an extensive $14,691.92 front-end repair that addressed the HVAC system. The lack of protective screening or mesh in the factory grille exposes essential thermal management systems to immediate damage during standard highway driving, representing a widespread product defect.Safety Impact Statement. Failure of the HVAC condenser due to unprotected debris intrusion poses a direct safety risk. The condenser is critical to the vehicle's thermal management system. A sudden loss of cooling capability can cause rapid passenger cabin overheating, unexpected window fogging that obscures driver visibility, or thermal management failures in the high-voltage battery system, potentially leading to a sudden loss of propulsion while drivi

The left sail applique was nearly disconnected from the vehicle, so I removed it the rest of the way manually before it could fly off while driving at speed. The right one is still a little loose, but doesn't seem to be in danger of flying off. The model number stamped into the piece that came off indicates that it was replaced during recall work in Nov 2024 as part of Safety recall 24V-457, however because work had been done on the tonneau cover by Tesla in Jun 2026, I believe it exacerbated the problem causing the part to detach enough to be dangerous. They did not mention the problem to me at the time even though the vehicle was specifically brought into the service center prior to warranty expiration to check for covered issues. Tesla is now quoting $1190 and refusing free repair because the mileage is 53,500. I asked for, but did not receive a copy of the final estimate with the updated parts listed for $1190. I did upload a preliminary estimate where they showed the parts that would have been needed if the vehicle had the new rails installed.

On XXX at approximately 5:15 AM, I was driving my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (VIN [XXX], ~47,300 miles) on an interstate trip to [XXX] with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engaged. I heard a loud pop from the front of the vehicle, immediately followed by an alert stating the left front turn signal was malfunctioning and that I needed to take over control. FSD disengaged and I was forced to manually drive in pre-dawn darkness with a failed turn signal until the next charging stop. The fault then behaved intermittently: it cleared on its own, returned, cleared again, and I resumed FSD for much of the trip. Then, with roughly 100 miles remaining, the left turn signal malfunction warning returned while the vehicle was actively driving itself, again forcing manual takeover and leaving me without a functioning left turn signal in traffic. This is a serious safety defect on multiple levels: (1) A failed turn signal prevents me from lawfully and safely signaling lane changes and turns to other drivers. (2) The failure occurred WHILE the automated driving system was operating and depends on functional signaling to execute its own lane changes — yet the system had been driving with a component that failed audibly and without warning. (3) The intermittent nature means the vehicle can re-enter a hazardous state at any time, without warning, at highway speed. (4) I cannot get a service appointment immediately, so I must continue operating a vehicle with an unrepairable intermittent signal failu

The PCS (Power Conversion System) failed on my Cybertruck as it has on thousands of other trucks. It's an issue for me because the nearest supercharger station where I can charge is 45 miles away. I have to budget my daily driving so I don't run out of charge before reaching the supercharger. If I run out of charge, the truck will be inoperable until the service center can fix the vehicle. Right now the service appointment is 24 days from now.

I paid Tesla to perform a safety inspection of my Tesla Cybertruck after I purchased it. During that inspection, Tesla determined that the vehicle's as built configuration was **not safe** and required me to purchase a newer revision of the Power Conversion System (PCS). The required PCS revision did not exist when my vehicle was originally manufactured, meaning the vehicle could not have been built with that revision. The original PCS installed in my vehicle has a widespread failure rate among Cybertrucks. When the PCS fails, the vehicle is unable to charge, leaving it stranded. I believe this is a safety defect that warrants investigation by the NHTSA. Tesla's own words on their invoice state that the as-built configuration was determined to be unsafe, and required me to purchase a newer revision of the PCS (1777777-T2-G) to address the safety issue.

The vehicle has experienced an issue with its power conversion system (PCS2) that leaves AC charging unavailable. Based upon online forums and social media, this issue is clearly widespread amongst early VIN model Cybertrucks. The scope of the issue has lead to delays with repair. My vehicle has experienced this issue since early June 2026, and I am still awaiting repair. This is a safety concern because it could plausibly leave the vehicle stranded due to lack of ability to charge the vehicle. While Tesla and third party superchargers are widespread, they are not everywhere and cannot allow a vehicle to travel to most roads in the United States. There have been circumstances where, if AC charging was not an option, I would have been stranded in a desert and surely would have died of excessive heat exposure. With the PCS2 failure, this issue a plausible risk.

I am filing a safety defect complaint regarding my Tesla Cybertruck. Water entered the truck bed outlet area and caused corrosion to the mounting bolts and surrounding components, resulting in Tesla determining that the entire bed wall panel requires replacement. The bed outlet is designed for outdoor use and exposure to weather conditions. In my opinion, water intrusion into this area represents a design defect because moisture can enter the electrical outlet assembly and associated mounting hardware, leading to corrosion and component deterioration. My concern is that continued corrosion could potentially affect the integrity or functionality of the electrical outlet system and create an electrical safety hazard for owners using the bed power outlets in normal outdoor conditions, including rain or vehicle washing. Tesla inspected the vehicle and confirmed water ingress and corrosion were present and advised that replacement of the bed wall panel was necessary to correct the condition. I request that NHTSA review whether the design of the Cybertruck bed outlet and surrounding components adequately protects against water intrusion and corrosion during normal vehicle use.

Approximately 10 minutes after my vehicle was serviced at a Tesla Service Center for a Full Self-Driving (FSD) concern, I entered the highway and engaged FSD. The service center had stated the system was operating correctly. While traveling approximately 75 mph through a highway curve, FSD suddenly changed to an "Unavailable" state. According to Tesla's own accident data, I did not disengage FSD. There was no audible warning, no effective visual warning, no takeover request, no controlled deceleration, and no safe handoff to the driver before the vehicle stopped controlling itself. Within about one second of FSD becoming unavailable, the vehicle left its intended path and struck a concrete highway divider. If the divider had not been present, the vehicle likely would have crossed into oncoming highway traffic, creating the risk of a catastrophic head-on collision with other vehicles, including a semi-truck. Tesla's accident report confirms I did not disengage FSD and shows no warning or takeover request before impact. I possess documentation supporting that FSD became unavailable without a safe transition to the driver. This failure occurred immediately after Tesla serviced the vehicle and represented that the FSD system was functioning properly. Despite the accident data, Tesla Customer Support and the Service Center have refused to acknowledge or investigate what appears to be a failure of the FSD system's fail-safe behavior.

PCS system has failed. This causes the vehicle to be unable to charge and can lead to loss of power if unable to get to a supercharger before the battery is depleted. It can now only be charged at full Tesla superchargers and not at other brands, hotel chargers, or home AC chargers. The vehicle did notify me of the PCS failure and recommended using a supercharger. Tesla proactively updated my account to allow for free supercharging, but this does not eliminate the risk when going to areas that do not have superchargers available. Parts are not currently available to repair the problem and my service requests are left in a "review" state. Vehicle is available for inspection if needed.

This is reporting an issue with v14.3.3 and v14.3.4 of Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) Supervised. This month I have driven over 4,000 miles with FSD enabled, approximately 2/3rd on 14.3.3 and 1/3 on 14.3.4. FSD has regularly failed to respect speed limit changes, even though it seems to recognize / observe the speed limit signs. I am certain it’s observing the signs because it renders them on the in-car display, but it doesn’t actually adjust its speed in response to those signs. The most egregious of cases have been when driving through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona where the speed limit is often 75 mph on Interstate highways (e.g., [XXX]). On multiple occasions the vehicle has ignored construction speed limit changes to 55 mph, and instead has tried to maintain 75-80 mph through the construction zone. Not only could that get me a nasty speeding ticket, but it could also put construction workers lives at risk. It has also happened in non-construction zones, like when on a non-interstate highway that passes through towns and reduces speed when doing so. It doesn’t fail 100% of the time, but it has been an issue more than 50% of the time I enter a construction zone.

I was driving my Tesla Cybertruck on the highway when I experienced unexpected steering movements from side to side. I attempted to maintain control of the vehicle and slow down. The vehicle ultimately left its intended path and collided with the median. I do not know the cause of the incident. At the time of the accident, I believe a Tesla driver-assistance feature may have been engaged, but I am requesting that Tesla review the vehicle data and logs to determine exactly what systems were active and whether any vehicle malfunction contributed to the event. The accident resulted in significant vehicle damage. I am submitting this report because I am concerned that a potential steering, vehicle control, or driver-assistance system issue may have contributed to the incident and I believe the event should be investigated.

Tesla does a warning if it can not detect your eyes on the road when using FSD (Full Self Driving). After few warnings on a trip it becomes a strike. After 5 strikes, they remove FSD and AutoPilot for a week. It becomes dangerous now since I have been driving on FSD for several years to drive the big CyberTruck without FSD. The removing FSD for a week behavior needs to be stopped. Without FSD chances of accident are 10000% increased.

On 05/30/2026 at approximately 15H24, my Tesla Cybertruck was parked and stopped at approx. [XXX] of Target). No one was seated in the driver seat. A passenger entered the vehicle and sat in the front passenger seat to play music. Shortly after the passenger sat down, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly moved forward on its own and rear-ended the vehicle parked directly in front of it and causing damages. This occurred while the vehicle was supposed to be parked/stationary and while there was no driver in the driver seat. We do not understand what triggered the vehicle to move forward. This appears to be a serious safety issue because a parked, unattended vehicle should not move forward without driver input. The incident created a collision risk to nearby vehicles, pedestrians, and anyone standing in front of or around the vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA review this as a potential unintended movement / unintended acceleration / park-to-drive activation / rollaway safety defect. Tesla should be required to investigate the vehicle logs and determine whether the movement was caused by a software issue, gear selection issue, Autopark/FSD/Summon/mobile app activation, brake hold/parking brake failure, sensor/occupancy issue, accelerator pedal issue, or any other defect.

My Tesla Cybertruck has experienced a failure of the Power Conversion System (PCS), which prevents the vehicle from charging at home using the installed residential charging equipment. Tesla diagnosed the issue and advised that the required replacement part is unavailable, with no estimated date for repair. As a result, I have been forced to rely exclusively on public Superchargers for several months. While Tesla has provided free Supercharging, this does not restore the vehicle’s intended functionality and requires significant additional travel, waiting time, and disruption to my daily activities and business operations. The vehicle was purchased and represented as capable of convenient home charging, and the prolonged inability to repair a critical charging system due to parts unavailability substantially impairs its use, value, and practicality. I am submitting this complaint because Tesla has been unable to provide a repair timeline, and I am concerned that other owners may be experiencing similar failures and extended delays in obtaining repairs. The offered loaner vehicle is a Tesla Model Y, which is not comparable to a Cybertruck and does not meet the hauling and cargo needs associated with my business operations.

Beginning approximately December 2025, my vehicle produces a severe grinding sound when attempting to accelerate. The sound has been consistent and ongoing for approximately 6 months. Confirmed verbatim on recorded Tesla corporate support call May 21, 2026: "If I try to accelerate it's making this horrible grinding sound. This has been going on since December." Component: Drivetrain / power unit (unknown — Tesla has never inspected). Safety risk: Grinding on acceleration indicates mechanical failure in the drivetrain that could result in sudden loss of power or vehicle control. Manufacturer response: Tesla Pensacola GM intentionally cancelled 8 consecutive service appointments since December 2025 — confirmed on recorded Tesla corporate call May 29, 2026. Owner stated on Tesla's recorded line: "For the last two years it's been broken. I've literally had it in the shop more than I've driven it." Tesla has never examined the source of the grinding sound. As of May 29, 2026, vehicle is at Tallahassee Service Center. Tesla escalated to Regional Manager on May 29, 2026.

My vehicle achieves only 80-100 miles of real-world range per charge, requiring charging to 100% to reach even this reduced figure. On April 30, 2026 at 11:08 PM, I documented energy consumption of 460.8 Wh/mi — 37% worse than the specification required to achieve Tesla's advertised range of 318-340 miles. Component: High voltage battery / power distribution system. Safety risk: Severe undisclosed range reduction means the vehicle may reach 0% charge in locations and at times the driver does not anticipate based on advertised specifications, creating stranding and safety risks. Manufacturer response: Raised on May 21, 2026 recorded call with Tesla corporate. Tesla acknowledged the issue and said to discuss at service — but all service appointments have been cancelled since December 2025.

The vehicle's tonneau cover was defective from the day of delivery and remained unusable for approximately the first 12 months of ownership. Factory over-application of adhesive forced the rear window against the tonneau rollers, preventing operation. I purchased this vehicle specifically for its cargo bed functionality for business use. The cover was finally repaired at Tesla Lincoln, NE when a senior technician was present — root cause identified as a manufacturing defect present from the factory. Component: Tonneau cover / rear bed cover system. Safety: Debris containment failure — unsecured cargo bed.

Pcs2 failure

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding the rear visibility system on my Tesla Cybertruck. The physical rear view mirror does not provide any usable visibility of the roadway behind the vehicle. The design of the rear window and cargo area blocks the view, which makes the mirror ineffective for its intended safety function. Because the physical mirror cannot be used, the driver must rely on the rear camera feed displayed on the center screen. This is the only way to see directly behind the vehicle during normal driving. However, the rear camera feed disappears every time the turn signal indicators are activated. When the indicators turn on, the screen automatically replaces the rear view with the side camera view. This removes all rear visibility at the exact moment when the driver needs full awareness for lane changes, merging, and turning. This behavior cannot be disabled or overridden. It is part of the default software design. As a result, the driver is left without any functional rear visibility method during critical maneuvers. This creates a clear safety risk and raises concerns regarding compliance with FMVSS 111, which requires reliable rear visibility. The loss of rear visibility during lane changes and turns increases the risk of collisions with vehicles approaching from behind. Since the physical mirror is unusable and the digital feed is removed by the software, the driver has no safe or compliant way to monitor rear traffic during these maneuvers. I request

In July of 2025, I drive my vehicle on a 130 mile trip. About 25 miles into the drive, I started receiving errors about AC charging not available. I stopped at a Tesla supercharger Hannibal [XXX] but I couldn’t charge it there either. Drive it the rest of the way to my destination where I had an ac charger available. Tried there but I couldn’t charge there either. Tried resetting the car…still couldn’t charge. Opened service ticket. Tesla had to send a tow vehicle 110 miles to me and then tire the truck back to the service center in [XXX] . they had to keep the car 3 days and replaced the pcs system.

6 deaths reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
