2024 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

I was driving and going about 50mph and there was no other car near me. Suddenly the car slammed on its brakes. Dropped to probably 10mph. My mom and I were both wearing seatbelts but our heads were thrown forward. My neck and shoulder are sore and stiff today now. There were dark skid marks in the road ahead of us and I believe the car saw those and broke because of them. If there had been a car behind us, we would have be rear ended. There were no warnings beforehand. When the car broke, lights flashed and there was also an alarm. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or manufacturer.

My 2024 model Y experienced a steering rack failure. It took three steering racks for Tesla to fix the issue. I was given the vehicle back and the same issue occurred two weeks later. This time it was worse, including failure of the entire power steering issue.

I was involved in car accident 8/7in which vehicle total. After first impact vehicle did not stop felt like kept going accelerating into 3 additional impacts

This is a complaint regarding a malfunction of the Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature, which resulted in damage to my vehicle and may potentially pose a significant safety risk to public. On 07/02/2024, my newly purchased Tesla [Model-Y 2024] was parked next to a pillar in a parking garage. After ensuring that the Full Self-Driving sign was on, I activated the FSD feature. However, as soon as the function was engaged, the vehicle instantly took off and made a right turn. This sudden and unexpected action caused the right side of the back passenger door to scrape against the iron guardrail on the pillar and caused damages to the right back passenger door and a portion of right back fender. This action happened so sudden that did not have the chance to react and take manual control. I contacted Tesla to report the issue and seek assistance, but after +4 weeks of contacting and restless following up with Tesla service teams, Tesla stated that the software was functioning properly and denied any responsibility for the malfunction, and they closed my case without offering any resolution or further investigation. Luckily, this incident happened in a confined parking garage. It could have resulted in more severe damage or injury had the circumstances been different. Additionally, Tesla's dismissal of the issue and refusal to accept responsibility is deeply concerning, especially about the reliability and safety of their Full Self-Driving technology. I sincerely request your office to investigate into this incident, and I hope you could advise any appropriate action to examine and address this issue. I attached a few photographs of where my vehicle was parked before the FSD was turned on, and the damages on both my vehicle and the guardrail at the time of the incident. I am more than happy to provide any further information or clarification. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and assistance.

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with auto-polite activated, the vehicle suddenly pulled in the left direction across three lanes of traffic. As a result, the vehicle collided with the passenger-side front headlight and came to a complete stop in the roadway. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact transported himself to his primary care doctor, who treated him for nondescript injuries to his neck, shoulders, right hand, and hips. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 9,000.

Whenever turning a clicking sound is occurring underneath the driver seat. The seat does not seem to be properly secured from the factory. Tesla said it does not seem to be a safety concern over the phone and will not work to get my vehicle into the service department in a reasonable timeframe. Many weeks to schedule with no alternative.

My tesla frunk has opened twice without warning or command on, [XXX] and [XXX]. This is after the 2024.20.3 update that was supposed to fix it. Jason from roadside assistance had me do a soft reboot and hopes it won't open in the future. Thankfully both incidents occurred in the parking lot. Conclusion is that Tesla did NOT fix the issue and there will be severe accidents in the near future. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle was under full self-driving mode and approaching a shopping center. There was a crossroad with signs on the corner. The vehicle was supposed to turn left but kept slowly approaching the signs on the corner. I was ready to step on the brake to stop the full self-driving mode while expecting the vehicle to turn left or step on the brake. Instead, the vehicle accelerated toward the signs, so I had to steer the wheel to the left and apply the brake immediately. The vehicle jumped a bit as it ran over the corner of the crossroad and stopped after about 10 feet. I was fortunate because I took action immediately, avoiding hitting other people or property. However, human reactions seem not to be quick enough to prevent some accidents as in this case. During this incident, the right corner of the front bumper of the vehicle hit the signs, and the top right corner of the vehicle (right above the front window) was also slightly damaged.
