2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK Complaints

While operating on a public roadway with Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engaged, the vehicle unexpectedly departed its intended roadway trajectory. Upon recognizing unsafe vehicle behavior, I attempted to manually override and disengage the system using normal driver control inputs. Despite these attempts, the system did not disengage or yield control in a timely or effective manner. The vehicle continued on an unsafe path, left the roadway, and collided with a fence and a tree before meaningful driver control could be restored. This incident raises concerns regarding the reliability of driver override authority and the system’s ability to relinquish control during supervised operation.

On December 23, 2025, my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (Foundation Series) was operating with Full Self-Driving (FSD – Supervised) engaged. While FSD was active, the vehicle executed an unsafe driving trajectory. I attempted to intervene and regain control; however, the system did not disengage as expected and did not yield control appropriately to driver input. Despite driver intervention attempts, the vehicle continued along the unsafe trajectory, resulting in a loss of control and collision with roadside objects. There were no mechanical warnings or alerts prior to the incident. The issue appears related to system behavior, disengagement logic, and driver override response while FSD was active. The vehicle is currently preserved under a formal litigation hold. No inspection, teardown, or data access has occurred. Tesla has confirmed in writing that it does not modify, delete, or alter vehicle data it has received. I am submitting this complaint due to concerns regarding the safety behavior of Full Self-Driving (Supervised), including the system’s failure to disengage upon driver input and the human-machine interface governing control authority.

At approximately 6:30 PM on January 4, I experienced an incident where the passenger front door unlatched, completely by itself without pressing the unlatched button or pulling the manual release. It has since opened itself again in my driveway. And this can be a very serious issue if it worked to unlatch while driving and the door swings open and causes an accident or hits an object or person which can in terms caused serious injury, or property damage, and even in some cases if a passenger is in the seat in the door and latches without their seatbelt on, it can cause serious injury, and or death. In the event of a passenger falling out.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while driving at a moderate speed on a windy day, a metal piece, approximately 2-3 ft. long and located on the side of the sunroof, detached from the vehicle. The contact managed to recover the piece that detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a Tesla service center, where the failure was acknowledged the failure, and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The contact stated that the failure was a manufacturer's defect and that the repair should be free of charge. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

I believe there was an issue with the ABS system that kept me from stopping the vehicle, as speed was increasing while going downhill with the brake pedal pushed hard. I was forced to make the choice to steer the vehicle into a mountainside to stop it before I ended up over the side of the mountain road. The vehicle then tipped over, coming to a stop.

While driving on a local road and thank fully at speed of 20mph vehicle lost all power, in few seconds of alerts steering failed as well as brake failed. Car slowly coasted to stop and died completely. Steering and brakes were completely unresponsive all of a sudden while driving. Was only able to get out of car via emergency exit. If this was on a highway at highway speed am very positive it would have been a disaster.

I am submitting this safety complaint as the vehicle owner of a Tesla that was involved in a collision on November 15, 2025. Although I am the policyholder and registered owner, I was not the driver at the time of the incident. My husband, [XXX] , was operating the vehicle, and Tesla Autopilot/FSD was engaged when the loss of control occurred. At the time of the incident, it was raining heavily, though visibility and road conditions were still within what Autopilot typically handles during normal operation. While driving under these conditions with Autopilot activated, the vehicle suddenly exhibited unexpected and erratic steering behavior, causing it to lose stability and veer out of control. The deviation happened rapidly and without sufficient warning or opportunity for my husband to intervene manually. The resulting collision appeared to be the result of an Autopilot system malfunction, not driver error. Key concerns include: Autopilot’s failure to maintain proper lane position Sudden abnormal steering input originating from the system Possible sensor, perception, or weather-related detection failure Lack of adequate warning or disengagement alert prior to the loss of control Tesla Insurance later determined the driver to be “principally at fault,” but this conclusion did not consider the possibility of Autopilot system failure under heavy rain conditions and does not reflect the sequence of events as experienced by the driver. As the vehicle owner, I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident as a potential safety defect involving Tesla’s Autopilot/FSD system. I am concerned that this malfunction—particularly under adverse weather—may also affect other Tesla owners and could indicate a broader systemic safety issue. I am willing to provide additional information, driver statements, documentation, or vehicle data upon request.

While exiting the Chick-fil-A drive-thru lane, I lightly pressed the accelerator to move into the next lane. Suddenly, the vehicle jerked forward very quickly, as if I had floored the accelerator. At the same time, the display showed "Emergency Braking in Progress." It felt as though the truck briefly braked and then rapidly released, causing unexpected acceleration. No collision occurred, but it was startling and very scary.

We received a notice from Tesla about a recall involving the cant rail. We reached out to Tesla and they said we must go to a Tesla dealer and the mobile team will not be able to do this repair. We are in South Dakota and the nearest dealer is 6 hours away in Colorado. We asked Tesla to give us a name of a local shop who can do the repair and they said we must go to Tesla. They are unwilling to handle this recall.
