2022 TESLA MODEL 3 Complaints

While at a red light, my car was stopped with Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) on. When the car in front of me nudged forward, my car, still in FSD , accelerated and drove into the car in front. Looking at the event report of my car, the automatic emergency break did engage but too late. This means the sensors in front failed to recognize the vehicle ahead.

There is NO way to find the emergency manual release in the rear doors. WHERE ARE THEY!!!!??? There is no panel or cover to remove to find a release for the doors in case there is no power!!! This my friends car. I don't have his VIN so I grabbed on off the internet.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that while approaching the vehicle, the tire was abnormally low. The TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who discovered a crack in the wheel, resulting in damages to the tire. The contact was informed that the wheel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance because the wheels were not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was 20,000.

SAFETY CONCERN: for kids getting trapped in rear doors with no manual release in the rear of my 2022 Tesla model 3. Only the front has a manual release which is not practical for two kids in the back.

Tesla’s full self driving did not react to emergency vehicles approaching from behind.. vehicle was a police cruiser emergency lights, and sirens were active on freeway.

The central computer in my 2022 Tesla Model 3 failed unexpectedly. This is a critical component that controls essential vehicle functions, including safety alerts, battery management, regenerative braking, Autopilot features, navigation, and over-the-air updates. The failure makes the vehicle unsafe to operate. The car is only 2–3 years old, and such a major systems failure in such a short time frame suggests a defect or premature failure in a component that is expected to last the life of the vehicle. Tesla has not offered a remedy despite this being a safety-critical system. I believe this failure presents a serious safety risk to myself and others on the road and should be investigated.

Then forward collision warning system inaccurately reported and reacted to a park car that was not in my lane. This caused my car to slam the brakes and subsequently almost cause an accident behind me. This also raised my car insurance premium so they can charge me more money

Tesla Model 3 while using the “FSD” or auto pilot mode will do what’s called “phantom breaking” with its emergency breaking system. This is very scary and has almost caused more accidents than preventing them in my experience. Tesla had not addressed or fixed this issue even with their constant software updates. How is this FSD considered legal I wonder.

I have experienced multiple tire failures on my 2022 Tesla Model 3, with at least 7 tires needing replacement due to air bubbles. These issues have occurred on both front and rear tires, and currently I have 3 more tires with visible bubbles and one tire is actually leaking air. Most of these tires failed within 2,000-6,000 miles of use, which is far below normal tire lifespan of 25,000-40,000 miles. Despite repeated service visits, no alignment or suspension inspection has ever been performed by Tesla to determine why this keeps happening. The tires are just replaced at my cost, with the problem recurring again and again. Despite the pattern, Tesla service advisors continue to blame road conditions or driving habits. I want to be clear: I actively avoid potholes, drive cautiously, and have never experienced anything like this with any previous vehicle. Something is clearly abnormal here. In addition, I have noticed strange clicking and popping noises while driving, which seem to come from the chassis or steering area. It worries me that there may be a deeper mechanical or build quality issue. The vehicle often feels unstable, and I am genuinely concerned that a failure of a suspension component, battery mounting, or other structure could lead to a fire or loss of control. No warning lights have appeared, but the pattern of repeated air bubbles showing in my tire after just driving not even 1,000 miles and abnormal noises makes the vehicle feel unsafe to operate.

Tesla odometer discrepancy) combines the energy to run the car to count against the mileage. The car is often sitting parked and all of a sudden the mileage is shorter… Basically the odometer reading is wrong because weekly added miles are attached to odometer because the air is on or screen is used and that’s not fair for us because it’s incorrect.
