2026 Tesla Model Y complaints

Fore Link Snapped

The FSD (full self driving) failed when it backed into my garage. All passengers are safe, including my wife (pregnant), mother, and [XXX] child. I was following the supervised FSD requirement by supervising the FSD with hands on steering wheel and foot on brake the whole time. The FSD left very little amount of time for me to react. Tesla insurance judges it is my fault. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My new 2026 Tesla model Y has a feature called lane departure assistance. This feature is constantly activated in the car. This feature is a terrible safety hazard and has made me almost crashed several times because it dictated a lane when there was no lane present and the car would veer violently in a direction to try to correct a possible lane departure. Clients contemporarily disengage this feature, but it continues to reactivate every time you enter the car this particular software needs to be looked at more in detail by Tesla because multiple of my family have the same car in our experiencing the same issues. I have reported this issue to Tesla but they are not willing to listen or modify this particular software. I need your help to make this feature safer for those purchasing this new model Y. Clients should have the right to be able to disengage this feature permanently to make the car drive, normally without having lane departure assistance. It should not be required to have this feature on all the time when you re-enter the car.

7/17/26 about 8pm my Tesla Model Y backed into a wall under FSD (full self driving). The vehicle was placed into FSD to assist in backing the car from a narrow street into a garage space. Wall on one side and another SUV parked on the driver side. Driver was monitoring the vehicle maneuver forward and backward attempting to clear the wall so it can back into the space. The vehicle appeared to be close to the wall and I anticipated the vehicle to inch forward but instead the car went backwards into the wall and caused damage to my vehicle. The vehicle should have stopped and asked the driver to take over or alarms/chimes. The fsd system failed to recognize that the right rear would not clear the wall and still proceeded to reverse and cause damages

On many occasions in the year we have owned our Tesla Model Y, we have experienced sudden, unexplained braking while using the Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) feature. We have experienced several near-misses of cars or semi tractor trailers rear-ending us. These incidents were avoided by quick reaction of the Tesla driver to override the TACC. I have documented several incidents using the dash camera on the car and have assembled a spreadsheet of times and places of occurrence that correspond to the videos. One Tesla service representative dismissed my complaint by saying the feature is working as designed, so nothing further was done. A representative at a different dealership acknowledged that it is a known characteristic in the current firmware and they expect it to be addressed in a future software update. As I said, we have been experiencing this for over a year. It is a clear safety hazard, not only for the Tesla driver and passengers, but also for any vehicle following who has to react to the sudden, unexpected braking.

Home link failure 1 Homelink was set to close the garage at 90 feet. Garage was open and I was parking manually going in reverse. Home link closed the garage as rear of my car was entering. Since tesla has a taller base and the wing like device projects beyond the car was damaged. 2 Homelink does not work consistently and this has put my home at risk because sometimes the garage door does not close as it is supposed to. 3 I had a service call. The technician saw the problem and claimed to have fixed it. He also said that he will tell the service manager about the damage and will see if they could fix the damage. 4 problem with this inconsistent behavior has continued. I have escalated the complaint with Tesla. I have called four times. All visited a service center in East plano. No one has contacted me to discuss the problem.

Tesla Full Self Driving has no way to limit the speed or lane changes, and even in its standard profile it keeps going 15+ over the limit. Chill mode occasionally goes 10+, and Sloth switches between -10 and +5 erratically. It's unsafe to use and there's no way to do anything about it without a manual speed limit, like it used to have

The contact owns a 2026 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed without the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature engaged, the steering wheel suddenly jerked to the right. While the FSD was engaged, the vehicle made erroneous turns at 51 MPH, forcing the driver to take control of the vehicle. The contact received several warnings about the brakes and other safety features. The steering wheel jerked to the right while driving with the FSD engaged. The vehicle was towed to a Tesla Service Center on July 9th. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 303.

Tesla's FSD system has ZERO opportunity for the driver to adjust what the car believes is the speed limit. My car often has no idea what the speed limit is. More often than not, it believes the speed limit is lower than it actually is, by as much as 30 MPH. This causes the car to impede traffic if I do not intervene. I can press and hold the accelerator to force the car to drive the speed limit, however I am then faced with a warning that the car will not automatically brake in an emergency. I run my car in "Sloth" or "Chill" 99% of the time to prevent speeding (something you should actually enforce), and this is really where the issue becomes somewhat problematic. If I'm on a 55 MPH road driving 55-57 and the car suddenly decides the speed limit is 30, in sloth, it will decelerate aggressively, making people behind me think I'm nuts... could potentially be dangerous. Recently I was on a "new" road into a campground, a couple days after school ended and there were children around, the speed limit on the road is posted at 20... the car said [XXX], and proceeded to accelerate aggressively of course I terminated the FSD session and just drove the car myself. But no matter which way it is, it's insane that I cannot adjust the speed limit to whatever the speed limit actually is. I own this car, and I pay for FSD for one reason, I'm getting older [XXX], and my driving skills and reflexes are not what they used to be. I'm spending my money to increase safety... please insist that Te

Supervised self driving. The latest software requires drivers to divert attention from the road to enter information on the screen whenever self driving is disengaged. This is potentially dangerous.

June 30, I was driving an highway, PA 376 during a rain storm, FSD 60 MPH 4-5 PM. The rain was heavy, vehicles in front of me flashing their emergency lights, I attempted several times to slow down, Acceleration Modes, towards me. Vehicle would not slow down, heavy rain and puddles blurred my vision, thinking I would rear end the vehicle in front of me. Traffic was light due to the rain, FSD needs better software to slow down during weather conditions.

The contact owns a 2026 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH with the Full Self-Driving mode engaged, the vehicle suddenly swerved into the left lane, and the rear passenger’s side door struck the right side of another vehicle. The vehicle stopped after the impact. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle did not need to be towed. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the Forward Collision Avoidance feature was not activated during the failure. A Police report was filed. There was no injury reported. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,609.

Steering wheel vibration occurs at highway speeds between 70 and 75 mph on a 2026 Model Y with under 1,000 miles at time of complaint. The vibration was reported to the dealer, who performed a tire balance and alignment check and confirmed both were within specification. The vehicle was tested by the dealer during a service ride-along and no vibration was detected by the technician. However, vibration was independently confirmed by the owner in a same-model loaner vehicle on the same road, suggesting the issue may not be isolated to a single vehicle or tire set. Similar vibration issues have been reported by other owners of the same model year in online owner forums, with no documented fix currently available. Safety concern: reduced steering feedback at highway speeds. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request.

Yesterday evening, my wife and I had friends over to our house, and we were excited to show them our new Tesla. We offered to take them on a short drive around town using the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature. At approximately 8:00 PM, we entered the address of our local Sam's Club as the destination. As the vehicle approached Sam's Club, it entered the parking lot through the gas station entrance, which appeared to be the expected route. However, instead of proceeding to a parking space, the vehicle unexpectedly continued driving and attempted to make another loop toward the gas station entrance. At that moment, an SUV was exiting the gas station. The Tesla steered toward the SUV and then continued toward a brick wall where there was no roadway. It appeared the vehicle was attempting to drive into an area that was not a valid path. I immediately disengaged Full Self-Driving, took manual control of the vehicle, and reversed to avoid what could have been a collision with both the SUV and the brick wall. The occupants of the other vehicles were understandably upset because the situation appeared unsafe. This was a very dangerous situation that placed my wife, our friends, and me at risk. Had I not intervened immediately, the incident could have resulted in a collision causing property damage or personal injury. I am reporting this event so your engineering team can investigate the behavior and improve the Full Self-Driving software. I hope this information helps identify a

Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) — control handover protocol. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. WHAT HAPPENED: On June 25, 2026 at approximately 4:17 PM, the vehicle was operating under Full Self-Driving (FSD) navigating into a residential driveway. The driver pressed the gas pedal to take manual control. At the exact moment FSD transferred control, vehicle telemetry confirms the steering wheel was at −299° (nearly 3 full turns of hard left lock). No warning was given. With a ~13:1 steering ratio, approximately 300° of wheel rotation was required before driver input would affect the front wheels — taking 0.4–0.5 seconds during which the front wheels remained pointed left despite the driver turning right. The vehicle struck a tree at approximately 13–15 kph. Secondary failure: FSD re-engaged once during the first override attempt, requiring a second override before full control was obtained, further delaying driver response. Telemetry confirmed: factory crash algorithm (RCM_CRASH_ALGO_WAKEUP_EVENT_ACTIVE), Electronic Stability Control, and Traction Control all activated at impact. Post-impact speed registered −1.67 kph (backward bounce), confirming direct collision. SAFETY RISK: FSD handed off control mid-maneuver at extreme steering lock with no warning, creating an unrecoverable situation in a confined residential driveway. PRIOR WARNINGS: None. No warning lamps, messages, or alerts before or during handover. INSPECTION STATUS: Vehicle photographed. Insurance in

While driving my 2026 Tesla Model Y in June 2026, the vehicle suddenly applied steering input on its own and began swerving left and right even though there were no obstacles in the road. I was driving on a straight section of roadway, centered in my lane, when the steering wheel started moving by itself as if the lane keeping system and steering were confused. I had to fight the wheel in both directions to keep the car from veering toward the curb and toward the adjacent lane. It felt like struggling against another person at the wheel. Fortunately there were no vehicles directly beside me at that moment, so I was able to avoid a collision, but this behavior could easily cause an accident for a typical driver. This incident is part of an ongoing pattern of safety issues with this vehicle. Since late 2025, I have experienced multiple events where the car fails to respond to the accelerator after shifting into Drive and behaves as if it is in neutral until I shift back to Park and then into Drive again including a complete loss of propulsion while driving in moderate traffic. Tesla has already performed recall repairs on the battery/battery contactors and multiple diagnostic visits for intermittent loss of propulsion and steering concerns, but the problems continue. I am filing this complaint because I believe there is a serious defect involving the steering, propulsion system, and lane keeping driver assist systems that could cause loss of control and a crash.

The contact owns a 2026 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system engaged, the vehicle unexpectedly made a left turn toward a tree and a light pole. The contact manually took control of the vehicle to avoid a crash. There were no warning lights illuminated, or messages displayed prior to the failure; however, after the failure, the contact was prompted to take control from the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,800.

We have owned a 2026 model Y Tesla for one week and have encountered these dangerous behaviors while in full self drive mode, even in “sloth” mode: 1. Tailgating, repeatedly, while at highway speeds. Controls did not allow me to increase trailing distance while in FSD. 2. Dangerous merging, cutting off other cars. 3. Failure to read surface directions and driving wrong way against oncoming traffic. And this is with only one week of casual driving!

I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a serious safety incident involving our brand‑new 2026 Tesla Model Y (Juniper), equipped with FSD version 14.2.2.5 and Software Version 2025.45.10. We purchased this vehicle as our dream car, and for nearly six months it delivered exactly what we hoped for—innovation, safety, and an exceptional driving experience. That trust was the foundation of our decision to choose Tesla. On [XXX], at approximately [XXX] in Frisco, TX, that trust was shaken by a sudden and alarming event. After coming to a stop and while making a routine right turn at under 10 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated on its own, causing an immediate loss of control. The entire incident unfolded in seconds, leaving no opportunity to react or correct the vehicle’s behavior. The incident happened at the intersection of [XXX]. The "Autopilot" feature in Tesla was on at the time of the incident. The impact was severe. The airbags deployed, the vehicle was declared a total loss by insurance, and first responders—including the Frisco Police Department—were required to clear the wreckage. My wife sustained injuries in the crash and continues to recover. Witnesses at the scene confirmed that the acceleration was abrupt and not driver‑initiated. The emotional and physical toll has been significant. More importantly, the nature of this incident raises serious concerns about a potential safety issue that could affect other Tesla owners. We feel compelled to ensure th

A day or two prior I had received an alert that my coolant was low and to get service on my vehicle. Through the Tesla app I was unable to orginally schedule until July but I kept looking and an opening opened up on June 20th. I was on my way to that appointment from New Bern (the nearest service center is 120 miles from my house). I was avoiding highways, driving early AM, and driving at or below the speed limit to try to avoid the car from overheating. The car is pretty much brand new with just over 10k miles. I was only an hour in and had just left Kinston when I got a warning to pull over and then another alert a few moments later as I was trying to get off the parkway that the rear motor was shutting down and I began to lose speed rapidly. I stopped the car which proceeded to make a ton of noise and called roadside assistance. I had never experienced this type of noise before and was worried about combustion. Tesla was excellent at responding, towing, and the car is currently being repaired under warranty but I wanted to report the incident as it is a 2026 model with only 10k miles on it and has not been in an accident. This should not be happening to a brand new car. The latest repair report shows the rear drive inverter inlet hose and the supermanifold coolant pumps required replacing.

The assisted steering function has on multiple occasions failed to activate when vehicle is turned on. It will reset if vehicle is left off, then will randomly fail to activate again. Dash warns you that it has not activated and the car becomes extremely difficult to steer. Manufacturer stated steering rack likely needs replaced but wait time to get an appointment to inspect was over 2 weeks. Car has less than 500 miles on it.

On June 7, 2026, while Full Self-Driving (FSD) was engaged, my 2025 Tesla Model Y drove itself forward out of a parking spot and struck a stationary landscape rock directly in its path. The vehicle did not slow, brake, or steer to avoid the obstacle before impact. The rock was a fixed object roughly 20 inches tall, clearly visible in the vehicle's forward (windshield) camera from a complete standstill, before FSD began moving the car. It stayed visible as the car advanced and dropped into the camera's near-field blind zone just before contact. The vehicle struck it with no apparent detection or avoidance. This is a serious safety concern beyond the resulting property damage. An obstacle of this height is in the same range as a small child or a crouching person. An automated driving system that fails to detect and respond to a fixed, clearly visible object in its direct path presents a significant risk of injury. The dashcam footage (windshield camera) is available and shows the obstacle visible from a standstill. The vehicle's front bumper camera feed is not saved to dashcam, so only the manufacturer's internal logs can confirm whether the obstacle was detected and how it was classified. I reported this to the manufacturer's service team and requested a log review; they declined to confirm detection and directed me elsewhere. No warning lamps or alerts appeared before the impact. Footage and repair documentation available on request.

We just got our new Model Y today (6/21/2026) at Tesla Dealer in Plano. And I noticed the fabric liner in the center console/storage area is shedding fine fibers. The fibers adhere to skin and clothing and continue to release during normal vehicle usage. These fibers can inadvertently inhaled and I am concern that this issue might cause health hazard to me and my family whenever we are using the vehicle.

This is Reference my existing ODI number 11742309. On June 4, 2026, while driving slowly into a parking space, the vehicle experienced a sudden and unintended acceleration. I applied the brake, but the vehicle did not respond as commanded, resulting in a collision. The vehicle was approximately 3 months old at the time of this incident.

The right rear aluminum rim on my 2026 Tesla Model Y (Juniper trim) has a crack in it, causing a slow air leak. I discovered this issue approximately 2 weeks ago when I noticed the tire was repeatedly losing pressure. I have had to refill air in the tire every 2-3 days. The crack is located on the rim itself, at the sidewall area between the rim and the tire, where air bubbles can be observed escaping when submerged or sprayed with soapy water. I have no recollection of hitting any potholes or curbs that would have caused this damage. The rim appears to be defective from the factory. The vehicle component (rim) is available for inspection. No crash, fire, or injuries have occurred at this time, but continued driving poses a safety risk due to the potential for a sudden tire blowout. Photos and a short video documenting the crack and escaping air are available.

I was driving on FSD mode, my car suddenly changed very fast to left lane by itself and hit the car on that lane right behind me.

Using Tesla FSD 14.3.3. It began raining hard, causing standing water to pool on the road. The standing water was making the car lose traction and started sliding within the lane, it did change its speed or driving to account for the rain. FSD was doing over the speed limit and would not slow down slower than the speed limit. Changing the Tesla speed profile from Standard to Sloth slowed it down to exactly the speed limit but no lower. At this point the car could not maintain its lane, I feared for our safety, so I had to disengage FSD to regain control of the car. Tesla have removed all methods of allowing the driver to maintain accurate speed control of the car and it often ignores speed limit signs, which means it is traveling too slow or too fast for the currently posted speed limit.

This is a safety concern for visibility. How can a brand new, barely used windshield crack like this? There are no rock chips and it has barely been driven to fall as wear and tear on the vehicle. This is not okay and incredibly unexceptional for vehicle standards. This vehicle spends 90% of its time in a garage. I have contacted my insurance company.

I am writing to formally report a serious safety failure involving Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature, which resulted in property damage and a severe safety hazard.While FSD (Supervised) was fully engaged, the vehicle failed to detect a large block of wood in the roadway. The vehicle struck the object, causing significant damage to the brand-new car's left-side tire and body, t touched two other cars hence I called 911 and reported it to ensure they remove the wood. Because I did not know how to manually trigger the dashcam save at the exact moment of the crash, video footage was not captured locally. However, the vehicle’s internal sensors, and Event Data Recorder (EDR) should have logged the active FSD status and sensor data at the time of impact and potentially save it.Immediately following the incident, I contacted emergency services via 911 to report the roadway hazard. I have since visited a Tesla Service Center, where staff informed me that I must wait for the formal complaint process to proceed.Due to recent publicly reported fatalities involving FSD, I strongly believe this software is not safe for public roads, and I have chosen not to renew the feature. I am requesting a comprehensive corporate review of my case. I expect Tesla to pull the vehicle's internal logs, take accountability for this hardware and software failure, provide a full repair of the vehicle, costs about $2000 as estimated by their collision center and issue a complete reimbursement fo

Tesla recently pushed a software update that introduces a major, unavoidable driver distraction right at the most critical moment of driving: the exact second you take manual control back from Full Self-Driving (FSD). Whenever you disengage FSD, a mandatory, multiple-choice survey pops up on the center touchscreen asking why you took over. Unlike previous versions where this would disappear after a few seconds, it now stays on the screen permanently. There is no close button, and it does not time out. This causes two clear safety hazards while driving: 1 It blocks the screen: The popup actively covers up part of the navigation map and basic screen controls. If you are trying to navigate a tricky intersection or see your route right after taking over, you can't see the map clearly because this giant survey is blocking it. 2 It forces you to look away from the road: Because the prompt never goes away on its own, it forces the driver to physically look down, read the small text options, and tap the screen to clear it. Forcing a driver to do a multiple-choice survey while actively managing a manual takeover in traffic is incredibly dangerous. Tesla should not be allowed to use a mandatory, permanent UI popup to collect data while a vehicle is actively moving. It is a severe visual and cognitive distraction at the exact moment a driver needs to be 100% focused on the road. Please investigate this software design and require Tesla to add an automatic timeout or a quick-dismiss butt

While operating a 2026 Tesla Model Y on Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised, the vehicle's vision-based lane-keeping system failed on an unmarked residential road. At approximately 26 MPH, the vehicle approached a blind crest of a hill. Due to the lack of painted center lines, the FSD software miscalculated the road geometry and drifted significantly into the center/oncoming lane exactly as it reached the top of the hill. This lane departure created an immediate, severe safety hazard, as it placed the vehicle directly in the path of potential oncoming traffic with zero forward visibility over the crest. Due to the critical lane positioning error, immediate driver intervention was required. The driver took manual control of the steering wheel to force the vehicle back into the correct lane, causing the FSD system to instantly disengage. Simultaneously, the driver applied manual braking to reduce speed drastically down to 10 MPH to safely clear a resident working on the right shoulder and stabilize the vehicle. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms indicating the system would fail to maintain proper lane positioning. The system appeared to be functioning normally up until the crest of the hill. The vehicle and its Autopilot/FSD components have not yet been inspected by Tesla, police, or an independent service center following this specific event. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request

I purchased a new 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard and took delivery on approximately 30 May 2026. Within the first week of ownership, the vehicle displayed multiple safety-related warnings, including: * Steering Assist Reduced * Power Braking Assist Reduced * Automatic Emergency Braking Unavailable * Lane Departure Avoidance Features Unavailable * Automatic Vehicle Hold Disabled The warnings have occurred more than once. They initially disappeared and then returned on a later drive. Both incidents occurred while the vehicle was operating with Full Self-Driving (FSD) engaged. During the most recent occurrence, while parking at less than 3 mph, the vehicle’s braking assistance appeared reduced and the brake pedal required significantly more effort than normal. As a result, I nearly struck a curb because the vehicle did not slow as expected. The warnings indicated that increased steering and braking effort may be required. Because the vehicle is brand new and these warnings involve steering, braking, and collision-avoidance systems, I believe this creates a significant safety risk. I no longer feel the vehicle is safe to drive until it is inspected and repaired. Tesla has been notified and a service request has been initiated.

On XXX at approximately 9:30am, my 2026 Tesla Model Y suddenly accelerated without driver input while parking at The Center at [XXX], [XXX]. Vehicle surged forward unexpectedly. I immediately applied brakes. No warning messages appeared before or during the incident. Vehicle struck parking lot curb. Police responded and vehicle was towed. Physical evidence including tire drag marks and vehicle debris remain at scene. Requesting full EDR data log preservation.

While using Full Self-Driving, Tesla hit a parked car when pulling out of a parking spot in a lot.

The contact owns a 2026 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, with the autopilot feature engaged, the vehicle approached a lane closure as big, metal arrow road signs where on the road indicating the road closure. The contact, who was distracted at the time, expected the vehicle to acknowledge the road closure and switch lanes. The vehicle failed to recognize the Chevron barricade lights on the highway and the vehicle ran through the road signs without warning. The contact was forced to take over and stop the vehicle due to the failure. Due to the failure, the front, driver side mirror detached from the vehicle. The contact exited the highway and inspected the damage to the vehicle. Despite the failure, the contact managed to drive the vehicle home. The service center was notified of the failure and an appointment was made to have the damages repaired. The cause of the failure had yet to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Incident Report – 2026 Tesla Model Y Date of Incident:XXX Time of Incident: 12:30 am Location: [XXX] I was operating my 2026 Tesla Model Y and was driving manually. Full Self-Driving (FSD), Autosteer, and other self-driving functions were not engaged at the time of the incident. While traveling on Highway 16 at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle approached the right-side white lane line. At that point, I experienced a sudden steering intervention that turned the vehicle sharply to the left. The steering input was unexpected and occurred while I was manually controlling the vehicle. Following the steering intervention, the vehicle crossed the centerline into the opposing lane of travel and continued off the roadway into the ditch on the opposite side of the road. The incident resulted in damage to the vehicle. Road conditions were dry. Weather conditions were safe. Lane markings were clear. I am requesting that Tesla preserve and review all vehicle telemetry, event logs, steering-assistance records, and any other relevant data associated with this incident. Specifically, I request an investigation into whether Lane Departure Avoidance, Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance, or any other driver-assistance feature activated and contributed to the steering maneuver. I am also requesting a determination regarding responsibility for the resulting vehicle damage and whether Tesla will reimburse repair costs if a system malfunction or defect is identified. Supporting documentation, inclu

On XXX at approximately 8:30 PM, the vehicle was operating under Full Self-Driving (Supervised) mode when it failed to detect or react to a stationary pole, resulting in a front-end collision. 1 System Failed: The Full Self-Driving software, Tesla Vision camera system, and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) failed to detect the obstacle or apply brakes. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2 Safety Risk: The autonomous driving software drove the vehicle directly into a fixed object without warning, creating a severe collision risk for occupants and nearby pedestrians. 3 Confirmed by Dealer: Yes. The vehicle was taken to the Tesla Service Center in [XXX] on XXX, where technicians officially captured and logged the diagnostic vehicle data for this specific incident under my active service file. 4 Inspected: The physical hardware and system logs have been initially inspected and captured by Tesla Service technicians. 5 Prior Warnings: There were zero warning lamps, chime alerts, or visual indicators on the center console display prior to the impact.

Service Concern — Front Suspension / Rattling Noise Vehicle is experiencing a persistent rattling/knocking noise from the front area when driving over bumps, uneven pavement, or rough roads. Noise is noticeable at low to moderate speeds and appears suspension-related. Condition seems consistent with known Tesla Model Y service concerns regarding: * front upper control arm mounts, * front damper assemblies, * and wiper bracket pencil braces. Requesting inspection and evaluation of: * front suspension components, * damper assemblies, * upper control arm mounts, * and any applicable Tesla Service Bulletins related to front-end NVH/rattling concerns. Noise has become increasingly noticeable during normal driving conditions and is affecting ride quality. Please document findings and advise whether repairs are covered under warranty. The symptoms typically include: * Rattling noise over small bumps * Knocking or clunking from the front suspension * Noise on rough pavement, speed bumps, or uneven roads * Sometimes vibration or looseness felt near the dashboard/firewall area The repair procedure mentioned is consistent with a Tesla internal service approach for addressing front-end NVH issues (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). Here’s what each item means: Front Upper Control Arm Mounts These are suspension mounting components near the top of the front wheel assembly. If worn, loose, or improperly isolated, they can create: * Metallic knocking * Clicking during suspension travel * Vibrati

Tesla 2026 Model Y was involved in a severe motor vehicle accident directly caused by a critical software and/or hardware malfunction of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. At the time of the incident, the vehicle’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software suite was actively engaged and driving the vehicle. While navigating, the system suffered an abrupt and uncommented control malfunction. Despite prompt attention, the autonomous system executed an erratic, uncorrectable maneuver that overrode human intervention thresholds, completely failed to respond safely to the immediate driving environment, and directly caused a collision.

My bulldog died yesterday in the new Tesla y we bought because the side storage in the back doesn’t have a cover. I regret ever buying that car. The side storage should come with a cover especially for the size of the space. My explorer came with covers. She went in head first and suffocated to death. I pulled over as soon as I realized something was wrong and had do compressions on her in front of my kids. But it was too late. This is a safety issue. Fix it before it happens to other families. My family is devastated by this. People put their animals back there. It should be safe. We should be able to trust the product especially at the cost we paid. The car has dog mode which means it is supposed to be safe for you to leave your dogs in the car. It is not. I have records of her cremation

Adaptive cruise control slams on the brakes at highway speed alleging “curvature assist” on flat, straight roads. Dealer replaced firmware and problem persists. Defect appears to be inherent to adaptive cruise control

Second time in the five months I have owned the car that I need to replace the windshield in its entirety. Not only does it chip incredibly easily, but any chip immediately becomes a large crack, usually overnight and definitely before Safelite or a similar company can be called to try to fix it. In addition to being dangerously fragile and very expensive to fix - although very lucrative for Tesla since I can’t drive without an intact windshield - it’s very difficult to get an appointment. This time around I must drive around with an ever-expanding crack for 16 days before driving 100+ miles to the nearest Tesla service center to get it replaced. How can it possibly keep me and my family safe if it breaks that easily and that often and why is it normal to replace the windshield that often in any car much less a brand new car?

The car is unstable on the highway when there is a crosswind - either from wind gusts or from large vehicles. The car is easily pushed by wind until lane assist activates to stop it from going outside of the lane. It feels very unsafe to drive on the highway. This is how the car was when it was bought. An alignment was done during the first Tesla service visit and that helped slightly. The second Tesla service visit they said the vehicle was operating as expected and then checked wheel balance after I insisted. They said they fixed wheel balance but it still did not change how the car handles in crosswind. The third Tesla service visit (different service center) they said the vehicle was working as expected and said they could not drive for a significant distance to test. If lane assist ever fails when I'm not ready to instantly react to a gust of wind, it feels like it would easily move into another lane or off the road. When passing large vehicles where wind changes direction, the car sometimes gets pushed left and right which sometimes triggers an alarm and shows an on screen message saying to take control of steering. I test drove another of the same model car for an hour and had the same unstable feeling in the wind but was unable to test long enough to find an area with high crosswind.

This is the opposite of a complaint. Somebody may have already submitted a blurb about their Tesla Y traveling on a highway with the speed limit of 60 giving an extra foot of room to a motorcyclist that was passing their vehicle. This happened to me today for the first time while I was in full self driving mode . My car was aware of the motorcyclist wanting to pass me and the car in the next lane.  Sensing this it moved over about a foot in my lane to allow the motorcycle passage  more room. A few minutes later, it did it again for a different motorcyclist. It did this all while in full self driving mode. Kudos to this safety technology. 

At about 2:16 PM on Monday, 5/18/2026, I was driving southeast in the right lane of Amaya Drive from Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa, CA, planning to turn right across the trolly tracks onto Severin Drive. There is an intermittent LED sign indicating NO RIGHT TURN in the southeast corner of the intersection, just below and to the right of the ground-level stoplight, that illuminates when the trolley is passing so traffic going straight on Amaya can still proceed. In the first Street View PDF I uploaded, it is not illuminated. I had FSD engaged, and as I approached the intersection the NO RIGHT TURN LED was illuminated. If I recall correctly, I assumed FSD would stop for the NO RIGHT TURN LED; but instead, it continued to make the right turn. Luckily my son was in the right seat and yelled several times for me to stop, which I did—just a few feet from the crossing arm, which can been seen elevated in the middle of the second Street View PDF I uploaded, and which was just coming down for the approaching trolley. By the time I got stopped, The crossing arm was fully down, and as noted above I ended up just a few feet from it, and would clearly and unequivocally have driven under and through it if I hadn’t braked suddenly. It’s clear that this was completely the fault of FSD either not reading or not being aware of the intermittent NO RIGHT TURN LED sign. Since FSD clearly doesn’t read NO RIGHT TURN signs, particularly intermittent LED signs, the solution seems to make this intersect

Car is missing front trunk emergency release. Apparently standard on newer Tesla’s but it violates FMVSS 401 as a child can easily fit in the front trunk.

I am reporting a recurring and unresolved electrical/safety issue with my new Tesla Model Y. The issue has occurred 5 times within the past 4 weeks and affects multiple systems simultaneously. When the issue occurs: * The air conditioning stops working completely. * The driver-side front and rear windows cannot be rolled down or up. * The driver seat adjustment may not function properly. The problem appears intermittently. It may disappear temporarily and then return hours or days later. Tesla service has inspected the vehicle multiple times, but the issue continues to recur. This creates a significant safety concern because: * The driver window may not function during rain or emergencies. * The AC may fail during extremely hot weather. * The driver seat may not adjust properly, potentially affecting safe vehicle operation and driver visibility. * The intermittent nature of the failure makes the vehicle unpredictable and unreliable to operate safely. The issue has not been permanently resolved despite repeated service visits. I am concerned there may be a broader electrical or control system defect affecting vehicle safety.
