2023 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

When entering the vehicle, the touchscreen does not turn on. The vehicle can be operated but without the touchscreen on, the speedometer is not available. I believe this to be a safety issue.

The car advertising having USS when place the pre-order. But when pick up the vehicle, USS is not there

On January 13th, 2023 we were waiting for green light on an intersection, 2nd in place. The car in front of us started moving on green light for a left turn, and suddenly it slowed down as a result of another car coming in the opposite direction. Our Tesla Model Y didn't recognized the situation and crashed into it. The automatic emergency braking didn't actuate and also the Forward collision warning didn't alert. The low speed collision avoidance also failed to act. A police report was filed because of the accident. Previously, On January 6th, 2023, a service was requested because of the vision system is not properly detecting objects / situations that can result in collision. Tesla canceled the service appointment. After contacting the dealer on January 13th, they acknowledged verbally that the car is missing sensors that were previously installed in older models.

There was a spontaneous blowout of a rear tire made by Continental. Thankfully I was not hurt while driving at 75 on a highway. I had to tow and replace the tire at discount. There was blowout from sidewall with no evidence of other damage or cause of it. I have kept the tire as evidence. I noticed there is a safety recall on very similar Continental tires. I am attaching the pictures and video of the tire and the note from Discount tire professionals that nothing was found inside the tire. I wonder if these continental tires also need to be on recall list.

I purchased the vehicle on Dec 14 th and so far had two episodes of Phantom breaking leading to near rear end collision. Car is applying breaks for no reason even when there is nothing in front.

I was driving along the highway on cruise control - plenty of space between me and the car in front of me, both of us traveling around 70 mph. My car suddenly started decelerating quickly, as if the cruise control had turned off. It slowed down to about 55-60 before I hit the accelerator to get back up to speed. Nothing obvious that would have caused the slowdown, no one was merging, the car in front of me was still travelling 70ish, and I didn't disengage the cruise control or hit the brake.

Tesla advertised that Tesla Vision will replace the ultrasonic sensors (USS) and help with park assist. Before buying the Tesla model y Tesla representative assured me that Tesla vision will function to replace the USS. Currently my model y has no visibility to any objects near the vehicle. The lake of sensors caused me to hit concrete blocks in parking spots. The lack of these sensors may cause serious accidents around the vehicle while moving out of garages.

My brand new 2023 Tesla Model Y brakes for no reason at all while driving in a completely open lane on the interstate highway. I took my car to my local dealer to have it fixed, but they refuse to even acknowledge this serious safety issue. I am now forced to manually remember to DISABLE the dangerous Emergency Braking feature with my brand new car. I have owned cars with cruise control for decades - I am 62 tears old. I have never had an accident on the highway. Never. This is because I keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Please understand that I do love this car. it drives beautifully, and I appreciate the other safety features such as the distance feature keeping the car too close to the car ahead of me while cruise control/auto pilot is engage. However, when I am on the highway in heavy traffic and the car brakes for no reason whatsoever, the chance of having a car ram into me from from behind is a serious danger to myself and my family. Please escalate this issue to the highest level possible, or connect me with legal services involved with class action lawsuits to force Tesla to disable this dangerous malfunction in their automobiles.

I was driving in cruise control on the freeway going 70 mph with no other cars in front of me when suddenly the car slammed on the brakes and slowed to less than 40 mph before I could even react. The car behind me came close to crashing into me. The car continued to slam on the brakes every time I put it in cruise control. I am concerned going forward that if I use cruise control and someone is following close behind me, that they may crash into me if it happens again. I reported the incident to Tesla and they stated that they are aware of the issue and are working on a software fix. However, after researching into the issue, it looks like this issue has been occurring for multiple years with still no resolution.

While using “Autopilot” and “Traffic Aware Cruise Control” the vehicle will heavily apply the brakes when there are no forward obstructions or incidents. This causes issues for vehicles behind me and is very unsettling, as there never appears to be a reason for the dramatic reduction in speed.
