2022 Tesla Model Y complaints

The vehicle pulls or "snaps/clicks" when wheel is moved at all speeds while driving manually. It is more prevalent at higher highway speeds. Tesla stated steering gear mechanism may need replacement and it is considered normal wear and tear. There are no alignment, nor wheel, problems. The steering issue has become a hazard on the highway due to the sudden "jerk" reaction from steering wheel input. I am concerned the steering wheel input may become completely unresponsive in the near future when vehicle is being driven. Steering components should be a safety problem and not a typical "wear and tear" component. Car has never been in an accident or incident.

"I have a Tesla Model Y that experienced what looks like a steering malfunction, with documented data and repair records already in hand. "While driving our 2024 Tesla Model Y when the steering wheel suddenly turned itself, hard left, and driver couldn't regain control. The car went up a hillside, between a utility/ electricity pole and an electrical box, coming to a stop just inches from the pole. No injury, but real vehicle damage." "I pulled Tesla's own vehicle data log for that exact moment. It shows the steering angle went from +362° to -358° — basically two full wheel rotations — in about 1.5 seconds, while the torque sensor barely registered any force. Then the wheel stayed pinned at full-left lock for about 8 seconds while the car was actively accelerating in Drive." There was a fault code 14 mention in the data file right before the incident. "Tesla told us their review of the data showed 'no malfunction.' But afterward, Tesla's own repair records show they replaced the steering gear assembly and the drive unit — after we complained the steering felt stiff once we got the car back from the first repair."

I had gotten the free trial of FSD (full self driving) from Tesla in 2024. I used it with a friend to take us to the zoo. It drove there perfectly with no issues & even backed itself in the parking spot. When time to leave, my friend suggested using the “summon” mode to have the car come to us- it was in view, maybe 10 or so yards away from the curb where we were. I held down the button to summon, the lights turned on & it began making the noise evs make when reversing to alert others that it was on the move. It started slowly creeping out of the spot, maybe a foot or two when it suddenly turned the wheel all the way to the left and accelerated, crashing into the parked car next to it. We were in a bit of a shock, as it was so slow- but it happened so fast? I didn’t even have time to take my finger off the button that made it move/ stop. It did everything in a split second. I have not used the feature since, and when I brought it up to a Tesla engineer they sort of downplayed it & said it was my fault for not properly supervising the vehicle. However, there was really nothing that could have been done in that situation to prevent that. At no point did my friend or I think the vehicle would randomly accelerate into the car next to it, and I would ask how a human would be able to predict that? The more I see incidents of faulty FSD online, the more I believe this incident should be investigated. Thank you for your time If you reach out regarding this case, I know the date of th

FSD / vision system , no warnings , the vehicle is turning left and right on a straight road sunny conditions. I have a video that it wouldn’t let me attach to the case. I had Tesla service review this and they told me it’s standard behavior, this never occurred before and is dangerous and unusable. Autopilot has an issue that Tesla themself can’t detect and when I get into an accident it’ll Be too late. I’ve been complaining about this for 3 months and Tesla keeps telling me it’s standard behavior, this never happened before the car used to drive straight, brand new tires front and back , blanket and aligned the car drives straight while not in autopilot, issue is directly related to FSD and Tesla autopilot.

On Saturday, [XXX] at around [XXX] going west on [XXX] toward [XXX] stopped at the intersection of [XXX]. While driving my 2022 Tesla Model Y, Performance, I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green and I began accelerating normally through the intersection, both passenger-side doors unexpectedly unlatched at the same time. The windows on both passenger doors lowered slightly, and the vehicle displayed a warning indicating the doors were open and to drive carefully. This created an immediate safety hazard, as the doors opened while the vehicle was in motion without any intentional action from the occupants(there were 0 occupants there). This is the second time this exact issue has occurred under similar circumstances, with the previous incident also happening as I accelerated from a red light. The vehicle should not allow multiple doors to unlatch while driving. I have reported the issue to Tesla for inspection and request that this incident be documented and investigated as a potential safety defect. I was going less that 10 mph when this occurred. Thankfully, my toddler was not sitting in the back seat and there were no passengers in the car. No injuries. No crash. *Unable to upload any photos/screenshots at the moment, but can email or link a drive when need be. This website doesn't support any uploads at the moment. I'm on a Mac using Google Chrome.

This week, I was driving my Tesla at approximately 65 mph in the middle lane of a six-lane freeway. Autopilot was engaged. Traffic was moving normally, and I was not aware of any obstacle or hazard that would have required emergency braking. Without any warning, the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes and rapidly decelerated until it came to a complete stop in the middle travel lane of the freeway. I was not pressing the brake pedal. The event occurred unexpectedly and created a potentially life threatening safety hazard. my vehicle came to a stop in a high-speed traffic center lane! After I disengaged Autopilot and pressed the accelerator, the vehicle responded normally. Immediately following the incident, the display showed the message “Autopilot unavailable.” That message later disappeared, and no additional warning messages remained on the screen. I contacted Tesla to report the incident. Tesla reviewed the vehicle’s logs remotely and later discussed the results with me by telephone. During that conversation, I was told that the event was considered an “anomaly.” I was also told that the vehicle logs reflected the event approximately one hour from when it actually occurred and that the logs indicated the vehicle was not operating in Autopilot at the time of the incident. This information was inconsistent with the event, because Autopilot was engaged when the sudden braking occurred. I could not even move to berm. Tesla did not request that I bring the vehicle in for a phy

I am writing to formally raise a serious concern regarding the functionality of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. On May 11th, while the vehicle was operating under FSD, I experienced an unexpected disengagement of the system, which then reengaged on its own without any input from me. This erratic behavior caused the vehicle to hit the garage door and resulted in a crash.

The contact’s wife owned a 2022 Tesla Y. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, his wife shifted the gear shifter into drive(D), and the vehicle independently accelerated. The Autonomous feature was not engaged. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed, and the front center of the vehicle crashed into a pile of cinder blocks, drove through a gate, and crashed into a dumpster, where it came to a stop. As a result of the impact, the front driver's side tire detached, and the dumpster was damaged. The contact stated that another person helped remove the driver from the vehicle due to the front driver door being unable to open. The air bags deployed as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was deemed a total loss. A police report was filed. The driver had pain in the back and sought medical attention. The contact's wife was informed of a slight fracture of an unstated bone in her back and ribs, and had to return to the doctor several times for medical assistance. The contact was certain there was no user error to have caused the crash The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While in Full Self Driving mode in my Tesla, it was making a right turn into a parking lot when it suddenly violently accelerated. Before I could gain control it crossed the parking lot entrance, climbed the curb, and came to rest on a lawn in front of a business. Luckily no one was hurt. It appears the car will be totaled by the insurance company at the completion of their investigation.

When exiting the driver seat of the vehicle my left arm gets caught in the hinge of the back door. This has happen before. This time my arm was bruised bad and shoulder painfully wrenched. The pain was so bad I thought my arm was broken.

Model Y (VIN: [XXX]). On XXX, I brought my vehicle to Tesla Service for replacement of the front wheel hub assembly and paid approximately $1,000 for the repair. Shortly after picking up the vehicle, I noticed abnormal knocking and clicking noises while turning the steering wheel. Because I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle, I sought a second opinion from an independent repair facility. On XXX, the independent shop inspected the vehicle and found that two wheel hub mounting bolts had not been properly tightened and that one mounting bolt was completely missing. The repair invoice states that the vehicle was being operated in an unsafe condition and that continued operation could have resulted in wheel hub failure and a serious accident. The shop corrected the condition by replacing the missing bolt and properly tightening the wheel hub assembly. I incurred an additional expense of $284.47, which would not have been necessary had the original repair been completed properly.

The heat pump failed after experiencing temperatures below 10 degrees fahrenheit. There was no warning until after the failure, when I received a notification that the climate system needed maintenance. All heating/cooling, including defrosting/defogging the windshield, is inoperable. The service center confirmed that this is a heat pump failure and requires a replacement of the entire system, and a Tesla employee indicated that this is a common issue in the first 6-9 months of this cooling system design. This is well documented across many forums, and there is a class-action lawsuit in Quebec, Canada related to this failure.

Bolts for front lower lateral links in suspension backed themselves out over time, eventually causing the suspension to suffer a total collapse and trigger a complete loss of steering authority.

On Feb 25, 2026 My 2022 Tesla model Y with only 25k miles on it suddenly stopped knowing where it was and almost drove me into a ditch. All cameras stopped working and the gps was stuck in the same wrong location. (Service Mode showed Primary DAS ECU shows "AP IN COREBOOT" and "Status: INIT." Secondary B shows nominal. Features unavailable. GNSS shows 0 satellites in open sky.) Tesla service said I was outside of warranty and “There is an internal processor issue with your autopilot system that will prevent updates from installing. The only solution is replacing the computer on April 9, 2026, 12:22,” I had had other computer related issues I brought up during regular service visits but weren’t recorded and I was told software updates would fix such as: delayed rearview camera upon startup, navigation volume resetting, headlights staying on for extended periods after exit, and lockout issues. I asked Tesla to document the specific failure codes which they never sent. They said “Tesla diagnostics are showing the primary Autopilot computer is not booting properly, which is preventing cameras, software updates, and related systems from functioning. Because the computer is not initializing, a firmware reinstall will not complete successfully. At this point, replacement of the computer is the required repair to restore normal functionality.” My car had a safety recall during its service appointment that they could not install software for unless I paid $3200 to replace computer. I

While driving, the vehicle displays a critical “Air pressure in tires very low — pull over safely” alert. When I pull over and inspect, the tire pressure is normal and there is no flat. The alert clears on its own after driving a few more miles. The vehicle has been serviced four times for this issue between February and May 2026 at Tesla service centers in Austin TX, Flower Mound TX, San Diego CA, and Los Angeles CA. The tire pressure monitoring sensors have been replaced three times (rear left twice, front left once). On the May 7, 2026 San Diego service visit, the technician documented the root cause as a low voltage issue with the sensor system. The issue continues to recur after each repair. A false critical safety alert that instructs the driver to pull over creates a safety risk because it trains drivers to distrust real alerts, and pulling over on highways carries its own risk.

2021built -2022 Model Y rear doors manual release door cable is really hard and impossible without tool to access. first removing the rubber pad is annoying because there is no lip sticking out to grab and remove easily, then it comes to the small plastic access to the manual door release cable, without tools it’s impossible to open, it would destroy finger nails and get cuts around fingers trying to open it. even after getting open the small access trim is still really hard to access the cable itself, cable is far from reach and not easy to grab and pull. access door is way to small to use 2 fingers. there’s no way people can get out in time not even for kids, i know 2023 model Ys have better rear door panel design to access the cable, Tesla need to have this replace ASAP.

The front driver-side lower control arm bolt completely fell off the vehicle while in motion at 5pm in a parking lot. The failure caused the front suspension to immediately collapse, resulting in the front driver side of the vehicle dropping and resting directly on the wheel. The failure was witnessed and confirmed by the roadside assistance tow truck operator. The operator had to temporarily jack up the car and fasten the bolt back into the control arm just to safely load the vehicle onto the tow truck. The vehicle is currently awaiting formal inspection and repair by an auto repair shop. The vehicle and the detached bolt were inspected at the scene by the tow truck operator dispatched through my auto insurance. An initial claim was reported to my auto insurance provider. It has not yet been inspected by Tesla yet. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms. The failure happened suddenly and without warning; I simply heard a loud noise, felt the vehicle physically shift and drop to the ground.

The touchscreen dedicates 2/5th of the screen to what they call "traffic visualization" which is the car depicting where the surrounding vehicles, traffic lights, etc. are. While this display is useful for the self driving software engineers to compare what the car is seeing vs. the actual traffic near it, for the actual driver this display is nothing more than a VERY DISTRACTING VIDEO GAME! which diverts driver's attention away from the road to the touch screen. And this display cannot be turned off by the driver. In fact it can be expanded to cover the entire touchscreen....even MORE distracting! The visualization changes to a vertical view when parking to display other vehicles and parking lines which IS useful, but during driving the traffic visualization is the same as watching a movie on the touchscreen.....and I believe NOT allowed both by Tesla and NHTSA. Please have Tesla remove the dangerous traffic visualization display while moving more than say 10mph so I can be used for parking, but not for anything else. I am not sure why Tesla wastes so much of the limited touchscreen space on a useless safety distraction when their are other items that can be displayed in that screen space most drivers would appreciate. Most Tesla models only have the one screen compared to other brands that now feature 2 or more that seem to be appreciated by buyers so when Tesla complains about removing it, remind them of this point!!

Our 2022 Tesla Model Y long range had a braking system failure due to a flawed routing of the rear flex brake lines. When applying the brakes at a red light the vehicle rolled into the intersection despite the brake pedal being pressed to the firewall. There were no warning lights at this time. After arriving home, large amounts of brake fluid were visible under the car. I removed the rear passenger side wheel to inspect the source of the leak. It was immediately clear that the flexible brake line was the source of the leak. It was installed (at the factory) in a position that allowed it to rub against the thin and abrasive edge of the wheel well. Over time, this cut into the brake line until a hole formed. The same issue was occurring on the rear driver side brake line. I took the car to a Tesla service center where they insisted that this was not a Tesla issue. They claimed that the faulty routing of the brake lines must have occurred within the last three weeks, and that they had never heard of this happening with another Tesla. Only after they looked at the problem did a brake warning appear on the screen showing there was a problem. I paid an independent service center to replace the lines and reroute them. I’m filing this report because I’m worried there are other customers, (especially those that have Model Ys that came off the line when mine did) driving around unaware that their brakes may fail when they need them most.

The vehicle in question is a 2022 Tesla Model Y with approximately 60,000 miles. Tesla has advised that four bushings on the rear transfer case require replacement. Given the relatively low mileage and age of the vehicle, this level of wear is highly concerning and suggests a potential manufacturing defect. Bushings in comparable vehicles are generally expected to last well beyond 100,000 miles, even under significant operating stress. The premature failure of these components raises serious concerns about durability and reliability. Tesla should promptly investigate this issue and consider issuing a recall or service campaign to address the defect. Failure to do so may result in further vehicle damage and increased safety risks for owners.

INCIDENT SUMMARY On April 16, 2026, at approximately 2:06 PM local time, my 2022 Tesla Model Y was traveling on a multi-lane divided roadway in the Austin/Lakeway, Texas area with Autopilot engaged. Traffic in my direction of travel was heavily congested and traveling with 32 mph. Without warning, alert, or any input from me, Autopilot commanded an uncommanded left steering maneuver. The vehicle veered left out of its lane and into a painted buffer separator area. The direction of travel pointed directly toward a building, an electrical transformer/utility box, and a landscaped area containing mature trees. I immediately recognized the unexpected maneuver and manually gripped the steering wheel to override Autopilot. I steered the vehicle to avoid collision with the building and the electrical box, both of which posed serious collision and electrocution risks. In the approximately 1.5 to 2 seconds available to me, I successfully redirected the vehicle away from the building and the transformer. The vehicle came to rest after striking a tree in the landscaped area adjacent to the road. The vehicle was totaled. Driver and curtain airbags deployed. I was wearing my seatbelt, was alert, and sustained no major injuries as a result of my intervention and the successful redirection of the vehicle.

My driver side headlight assembly stopped working. The headlight assembly includes the driving lights, high beams, and turn signals. I am open to having this product inspected upon request. This impacts the safety of me and others due to decreased visibility and the inability to appropriately indicate when I am turning. The dealer has not reviewed this yet, but I have a scheduled appointment on Friday, April 24. Vehicle has not been inspected by any third-party, improving manufacturer, police, insurance, or other representatives. There were no warning, lamps, messages, other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. The failure first appeared at around 55,000 miles, which was 5000 miles beyond my warranty. I believe that Tesla is pushing out updates that intentionally cause light assemblies and other high priced items to stop working after the warranty. there are multiple instances people replacing the same fixture after their warranty period has expired. Tesla charges $2000 to replace one light fixture. I believe this is fraudulent and corrupt business practices by Tesla.

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my Tesla Model Y. While driving, the vehicle’s main center screen (MCU) suddenly failed and entered a continuous reboot loop. This resulted in the loss of critical driving information and controls, including navigation, camera display, and vehicle system status. The issue occurred without any warning and nearly caused a serious accident, as I was unable to safely monitor essential driving information. This failure made the vehicle extremely unsafe to operate. The problem appears to be related to a known MCU system failure affecting some Tesla vehicles. I am concerned that this issue may present a broader safety risk for other drivers. Please investigate this matter for potential safety defects.

My 2022 Model Y Performance developed severe front-left inner shoulder tire wear caused by a suspension alignment defect. On 4/7/2026 at 57,974 miles, Les Schwab diagnosed excessive shoulder wear due to alignment issue, deemed the tires unsafe, and required a liability waiver before I could leave (WO #XXX). I drove to Tesla Portland. Tesla’s own ExpressAlign check confirmed the front toe was out of spec, with multiple values flagged red on their equipment. The left front toe was the most severe, matching the wear pattern Les Schwab diagnosed that morning. Tesla charged me $1,874 for four new tires but did NOT perform a corrective alignment. Their own post-install report shows front toe STILL flagged red (left front toe slightly worse than before). They released the car on new tires with alignment still out of tolerance. I had paid Tesla for an alignment in Feb 2025 at 33,261 miles to prevent uneven wear. It failed within 24,713 miles with no suspension impacts or damage. The specific inner shoulder wear pattern, validated independently by both Les Schwab and Tesla on the same day, is consistent with the documented suspension geometry defect in 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles. I request NHTSA consider expanding the scope of recall 21V-835 (Tesla SB-21-31-003), which addressed front suspension lateral link issues on 2019-2021 Model 3/Y, to include 2022+ Model Y vehicles exhibiting the same alignment geometry failure. This is a safety hazard. Les Schwab required a liability waiver. I

Car was on FSD Software version 2026.8.6 Car had trouble centering itself in the lane (so it does a “ping pong effect”) which I believe caused the car to lose control No others cars involved no injuries Lo and behold, 2 days later a software update (2026.8.6.1) to correct this issue is issued by Tesla I have dashcam and footage of the accident which shows car was on FSD and also shows the “ping pong effect”

The contact stated that they rented a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that the vehicle was supervised in autonomous mode when it suddenly turned left while driving at approximately 45 MPH, causing it to hit an electrical box nearby. The vehicle then steered itself back onto the road and shortly after, turned off the road towards the right and crashed into a tree, where it came to a stop. There were no warnings or notifications that were displayed during the incident. The air bags did deploy. The vehicle did not allow the driver to correct the direction of the vehicle or disable the autonomous mode setting. The vehicle had caught on fire. The contact and the other passenger, sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle at the time, were able to exit the vehicle. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. The police department was contacted, and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and totaled. The contact received a broken left wrist, a sprained right foot, and seat belt bruising to their lower stomach and chest area. The passenger in the vehicle received seat belt bruising. Medical attention was needed. The contact rented the vehicle through Turo and informed the person they had rented from. The contact was not sure if the incident was reported to the dealer or manufacturer by the owner. The contact stated their attorney contacted the manufacturer and informed them of the incident in an attempt to retrieve data information from the vehi

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

On January 12, 2026, I was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on I-4 West near US-27 Off Ramp in Polk County, Florida. My vehicle was struck on the left rear quarter panel causing me to lose control, hit a second vehicle, and travel off the road to the hazard lane. The vehicle was declared a total loss by the insurance company. Despite the severity of the impact, none of the airbags deployed. The Florida state crash report confirms airbags were marked as Not Deployed. The vehicle is currently at a salvage yard and is available for inspection. No warning lamps related to the airbag system were present prior to the crash. The failure of the airbag system to deploy in a total loss collision put the driver at significant risk of serious injury.”

Tesla Model Y Performance with 47,000 miles. Driver's side, rear passanger door would not open. No accident or damage to the car or car door. Door could not be opened from the inside nor the outside with the handle. ISSUE: The Emergency Door release in the pocket of the door failed to release and open the door.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that the steering wheel material had been unraveling. The contact received notification of TSB Number: SB2332003. A Tesla Service Center was contacted via the Mobile App Chat feature, and informed the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at the owner's expense because the warranty had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

While driving on Intestate I-95 in the Express Lane at high speed in my 2022 Tesla Model Y, the hood (frunk) suddenly flew open, smashed into the windshield and remained in the upright position. Luckily I was able to slow down and ease blindly into the emergency lane without causing further damage to myself or others. I lost entire visibility at high speed and my windshield was smashed on the highway. This was a traumatic experience that could have caused serious damage to me personally and other motorists. The hood (frunk) latch failed to operate properly and was available for inspection immediately. Once the highway safety patrol officer forced the hood down and escorted me safely off the highway, we drove the vehicle to a Tesla dealership directly after the incident. The Tesla dealer initially took full responsibility for the incident and said they would repair at their expense. However, the story changed once they did a VIN search on my vehicle and discovered I had been hit (not my fault, driver ran red light) in the front quarter panel prior to this incident. Tesla said the fault was on the repair shop (Tesla recommended) who had fixed the vehicle prior to the incident. The repair facility claimed they were not at fault, and Tesla was responsible, as they did not touch the frunk latch as noted by the invoice for repair/parts and painting/lack of near the latch. This is a recurring incident as reported by recalls and my vehicle is listed as one of the possible vehicles fo

The vehicle was delivered with a critical safety defect in the braking system and inoperable safety software (GPS/FSD/Navigation). Upon further inspection by the dealer's own technician, it was confirmed that the vehicle had 'EXTREMELY POOR BRAKE FEEL' and 'EXTREME RUST BUILD UP' on all pads and rotors, which violated Tesla’s 6mm minimum safety standard for used vehicles. Additionally, a physically damaged windshield harness caused the failure of GPS and FSD features. These defects posed a significant safety risk to myself and my family during operation. The dealer has documented and confirmed these safety issues but is now refusing a buyback and is retaliating with storage fees for my rejection of the unsafe product. No warning lights appeared prior to the technician's discovery of the brake defects.

Hello. I brought my Tesla Y to Tesla service local at 7077 W. Sahara Av., Las Vegas, NV. To fix noise in the breaks on Aug 28, 2025, After that on the same day i went to drive Tesla and I started feeling severe ear pressure, heart pressures, severe body pain from high EMF exposure, also severe electric shocks from the floor, seats, back of the seat, wheel, it has been constantly ongoing for already 6 six month since Aug 28, 2025. It’s when ever I am getting inside my car, driving, or just when it’s parked, I feel all that severe pain in the body, severe ear pressure, severe heart pressure, pain in hands, legs from high EMF exposure inside Tesla, also electric shocks from the floor, back of the seat, seat, wheel. My Tesla Y caused severe damaged t my health. I have all those symptoms and pain only when I am inside the car, when I am not in the car, I don’t feel any pain, and I don’t feel all of those severe symptoms and pain in my body. I have this car from 2024, it was perfectly fine, except that during hot season in Vegas, when the temperature is above 80 F, the glass roof got extremely hot, and it burned my head severely despite I cover with sun protector glass roof. But besides that I didn’t have any issues with my Tesla Y. Only after I brought my car to Tesla service on Aug 28. 2025, same day Tesla started causing me severe pain from High EMF and high Voltage causing electric shocks. I contacted local Tesla service many times and tried to address this issues. They didn’t

Around 02/10/2026, all of ADAS functions of my 2022 Tesla Model Y has suddenly stopped working, and the rearview was just black. On 02/27/2026, Tesla service diagnosed the car and tole me that the car computer should be replaced and its total repair cost would be about $3,200. My car's mileage was 51,000 at the onset of the problem, so just passed the standard 50K warranty. My car has total loss of rearview camera (FMVSS 111 violation) and loss of Active Safety Systems (AEB/FCW), but Tesla refused to repair a federally mandated safety defect if I don't pay the full repair cost.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while charging the vehicle or using the onboard navigation system to search for a charging station, the entire infotainment central processing unit shut down unintendedly. The contact stated that there was an abnormally low humming sound, and approximately 30-seconds later the infotainment screen shut down unintendedly. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where the battery and the coolant system were checked. The contact was advised by the dealer that they were not able to isolate the failure and needed to run additional diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V296000 (Back Over Prevention, Equipment); however, when the dealer was contacted about the recall, the contact was advised there was no recall associated with the VIN. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to make a left turn, the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated while the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, no object or persons were in front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a service center to be diagnosed; however, the service center stated that the obstacle-aware acceleration system was activated, and that the vehicle performed as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

On January 9th my wife got into an accident in our 2022 Tesla Model Y vehicle. She reported that as she was backing out of a prking spot in a strip mall, the vrhicle suddenly accelerated backward involuntarely which resulted in colliding with a vehicle which was approaching from the rear side. My wife reported the speed was so violent that she felt dizziness. When she took the car bto the Tesla shop for repair by the insurance, the Tesla repair people discounted her reporting and did not do any follow-up to investigate the issue. Note the onboard camera recorded the swift movement of the vehicle and I will try to upload it. We have read that such problem was looked into by the NTHSA in the past and that it is being revisited again. Note that that Tesla has determined the vehicle as being totalled and has kept it at their shop. Please let us know your thoughts on this matter so if this is a serious problem that it can be addressed so it won't happen to others. My wif was lucky she didn't get hurt and also she didn''t heart others. Please note I am currently traveling out of the country and will be be back in the US on March 12, 2026. You can contact me via my email or I will be available for phone conversation on the indicated date. Also please note I could not upload the recording of the on board camera because of the format incompatibility. THe phone number included is my wife's and please feel free to contact her.

On December 30th, 2025, my wife experienced a serious and unexpected safety event while using Autosteer in one of our Tesla Model Y cars (we own two of them). The version of the vehicle software in use was v12 (2025.26.8) and the Full Self Driving (Supervised) Software was v12.6.4. The vehicle came to a complete stop at a red traffic light on northbound San Gabriel Blvd in Pasadena at the intersection that controls entry to the I-210 West. After waiting for approximately 55 seconds, Autosteer initiated forward movement into the intersection while the traffic light was still red. The vehicle’s movement was not caused by driver input. My wife’s feet were away from the pedals at the time. There was no visible lead vehicle movement or other obvious external trigger. Fortunately, my wife was attentive and immediately disengaged Autosteer, brought the vehicle to a stop, and carefully reversed back into a safe position. Moments later, multiple fast-moving vehicles crossed the intersection in front of her path. Had she not intervened promptly, there was a realistic risk of a serious side-impact collision. This serious incident was reported to Tesla on 12/30/2025 including a video of the incident. In my correspondence, I requested that all relevant vehicle telemetry, Autosteer/FSD logs, and any uploaded video associated with this time and location be preserved and reviewed. As of today (7 weeks later) they have not followed up with me. The 18-second video was recorded by an independen

HV failure failed on 2/12/26 @ 62k miles. Multiple errors (BMS_d265 Replacebatterypack, BMS_a079_Max_charge_limit_exceeded, and BMS_a029_dSOC_limiting. Frequent errors while driving, especially during acceleration on highway which were confusing/distracting. The errors seem to indicate danger with the vehicle and to not charge the vehicle/limit the charge to prevent further damage to the vehicle/surroundings. Took into service center on 2/13/26. Confirmed need a replacement HV Pack.

Front driver side lower control arm bolts came off without external forces. Both bolts fell off with no damage to the threads. Tesla service stated that they were possible not seated or missing per their inspection. Further er damage was caused by this defective part leading to the car not being operable due to no steering and no drive as well as wheel literally coming off the car.

Front driver side lower control arm bolts came off without external forces. Both bolts fell off with no damage to the threads. Tesla service stated that upon inspection of their technician it is determined that the front left lower link bolt was either not properly seated or missing which caused a defective front lower link bushing. (I included a screenshot of their finding). The damage was caused by this defective part leading to the car not being unsafe and inoperable due to no steering and no drive as well as wheel literally coming off the car while in motion. Luckily I was simply backing into my driveway when this failure happened narrowly avoiding a potential life threatening accident. I have researched that this was a known issue for my exact make and model just months before my car was purchased in march 2022. I have attached the document "Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-835. Unfortunately, Tesla refuses to admit the defect when it was time to pay for the repairs despite clearly admitting it on their initial inspection, leaving me with the repair bill.

We live on a road with a steep embankment. My wife backed across our driveway and when she put the car from reverse to drive it accelerated uncontrollably. She hit our mailbox, then a power pole across the street, a driveway across the street then over the embankment where she hit a retainer wall another wooden railing and finally came to rest against our neighbors house. If she wouldn’t have caught the edge of the house she would have went down approximately 150 foot embankment. Not only the car accelerated on its own it is supposed to automatically brake, it didn’t and the airbags never deployed. This all this happened right after it went through an automatic update. The car was totaled, with my wife getting a concussion and a lot of muscle injuries. There was no warning lights prior to event and we reported it to Tesla and all they did was send camera images which we had. The car is now in possession of Wawanesa Insurance because it was a total loss

While driving, the front left brake caliper detached, causing immediate damage to the wheel and a tire blowout. There was no recent brake, wheel, or suspension service (over two years). Tesla is repairing the vehicle for an estimated $2,336.41 but did not clearly identify root cause. This was a sudden brake system failure that could have resulted in loss of control. I am reporting this as a potential safety defect.

HVAC system failure in sub-freezing weather causing loss of windshield defrost and cabin heat. Tesla has acknowledged this as a known hardware design limitation of the heat pump/octovalve system but is refusing repair coverage outside of warranty. This condition affects driver visibility and winter driving safety.

A tire experienced a sudden bead-area blowout while the vehicle was traveling at freeway speed. There was no pothole, curb, debris, or roadway impact. The failure occurred approximately ten days after installation. Inspection shows failure at the tire bead adjacent to a wheel defect. The wheel was represented as new at installation but shows evidence of prior material removal and cosmetic reconditioning, including rounded aluminum exposure and surface striations inconsistent with fresh impact. The compromised wheel-tire interface caused sudden bead unseating and rapid air loss.

The contact owned a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while the contact’s daughter was driving at approximately 70 MPH under significant rainy weather conditions, with autopilot mode engaged, the auto pilot became inoperable. The contact stated that the driver attempted to steer the steering wheel; however, the steering could not be steered, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently collided with a concrete wall and might have collided with another vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that all the air bags of the vehicle deployed during the crash. As a result of the incident, the driver sustained a nose injury and facial lacerations. The driver was transported to a local Emergency Room for medical treatment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. A Tesla service center was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance had been provided. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

While using cruise control at highway speed, the car suddenly slams on the breaks causing major panic. Oversteering onto incoming traffic and cars following are affected slamming on their breaks to avoid contact. Have contacted Tesla Service Center multiple times addressing the problem (Phantom breaking problem). What they keep on telling me is that there is no fix to the problem at this time. The cruise control intermittently turns off and on by itself with no warning or obstruction. No lamps warning or messages prior to failure. My Tesla 2022 Model Y (Performance) has been inspected at the Tesla Service Center many times, but to no avail problem still exists.

In 9/2025 I noticed that the vehicle software was defaulting to a speed limit of 55 mph. I noticed that when in any form of autopilot and FSD it would accelerate to that speed. This happens in any situation before the car encounters a sign or an area that it's internal map corrects it, which is not common outside of major routes in Idaho. This includes paved marked roads, graded roads, single track dirt roads, my driveway and garage. Sometimes the car controls it's speed consistent with conditions, sometimes not. It can happen unexpectedly, and that's the issue. Where I have learned this is a problem, I of course turn off the AP or FSD and drive myself, however, if I am in driver assist mode and things are going well and the speed limit in the vehicle changes suddenly to the default 55 mph, it can take a moment for me to react. In October 2025 I reported this to my Tesla Service center as well as Tesla's over the air and on line email reporting options (from which I got no response). The service center entered a ticket directly with Tesla, and told me that that Tesla was aware. The explanation that came back was that it was due to a mapping update for the internal map of the car. They said it was the result of Google Maps setting the default speed limit in Idaho, which is where I live, to 55 and that this was due to a September 2025 update. They said it might be corrected with the next update, which has not occurred at this point (January 2026). This speeding behavior can hap

The lateral lower front right suspension link and its securing bolts failed, causing the control arm to drop and the vehicle to become uncontrollable. (The bolts actually fell out on the ground) This was the second repair involving the same suspension area, with prior work performed on March 27, 2025. The replaced components should be available for inspection upon request. The failure caused the vehicle to become uncontrollable while backing into a parking spot. Had this occurred at road speed, it could have resulted in a complete loss of control, posing a risk to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and surrounding traffic. Tesla service confirmed the failure during the January 5, 2026 repair and replaced the affected suspension components under Invoice #[XXX]. Tesla service technicians inspected the vehicle during both repair visits (March 27, 2025 and January 5, 2026). There is no record of inspection by police or insurance representatives. No warning lamps, messages, or prior symptoms were present. The failure occurred suddenly while backing into a parking spot with no advance indication.

I got into my car two days ago and the computer screen was black. I have tried everything to reset it, holding down both scroll wheels with the brake pressed for up to 2 minutes, unplugging the low voltage battery overnight and plugging it back in, and even doing the hard reset at the disconnect under the rear passenger seats and my computer will not turn on. I can't see any information about my speed or how much charge I have, I can't turn on climate controls and it's the middle of winter and I live in the mountains of Colorado. I can't even open my glove box without the screen. From everything I read, it sounds like an MCU failure, my vehicle has the newer MCU2. Tesla quoted about $800 for a tow and it sounds like the replacement costs could be $2500+
