2024 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

It was raining, when I was driving on I95 highway, the vehicle suddenly started to spin by itself, and out of my control. When I tried to hit the brakes, there was no response, then it swung out of the lane and hit on the tree. I have reported to police, and I just filed a claim with insurance company, and I will also report this to Tesla later. However, I think it is really very dangerous, and I hope it can be investigated for safety reason. I have video recordings, I can provide if you need them. Thank you.

After about 2 minutes from leaving a patients house, I was driving at approximately 25mph when my frunk(front trunk) of my Tesla flew open and hit my windshield. There was no alert through the Tesla app or in the car itself. I stopped the car stepped outside and the frunk would not close after when I tried to close by hand, it would stop at the latch. When I closed it from the Tesla app it was able to close properly

Whenever the self driving feature is disengaged, a pop up menu is forced into the user asking for a reason for the disengagement. The user is forced to submit a response for the pop up menu to go away. This menu shifts sections of the screen around and can cause distractions due to the user looking for specific information that is typically there but is not due to the pop up menu.

VEHICLE INFORMATION Year: 2024 Make: Tesla Model: Model Y Mileage at time of incident:1,288 Date of incident: XXX Location of incident: [XXX] On XXX, I was operating my 2024 Tesla Model Y in [XXX] when the vehicle experienced a sudden and unexpected malfunction of its Autopilot/autonomous driving system. The vehicle activated in Autopilot mode without my intentional input, causing me to lose control and resulting in a serious crash. Prior to the collision, the vehicle's Autopilot system, engaged without my input and abruptly accelerated. I was seriously injured as a result. The vehicle, a brand-new 2024 Tesla Model Y, was in normal operating condition with no prior mechanical issues. I had not modified the vehicle in any way. Following the crash, Tesla provided data to attorneys regarding the incident which I believe to be inaccurate and inconsistent with my experience. I am requesting that NHTSA: 1. Open a formal investigation into this incident 2. Investigate the accuracy and completeness of data Tesla provides following Autopilot-related crashes 3. Preserve my complaint as part of any ongoing investigation into Tesla Autopilot/FSD systems Was I injured? YES Number of injuries: 2 Were there fatalities: NO Was there a police report? YES INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Tesla Autosteer (equivalent of adaptive cruise control) failed to brake on seeing the car ahead braking. In the 5 seconds before impact, the car ahead had started braking. The autosteer did not brake for the first 3 seconds and then It asked me to take over 2 seconds before collision. It did not apply automatic emergency braking causing me to rear end the car ahead of me on the freeway at around 30mph This is supposed to be a safety driver assist feature which instead was the primary cause of the accident. The take control was too late to avoid collision. This is a serious safety issue.

On XXX, at approximately 5:00 PM, my daughter was operating our 2024 Tesla Model Y on [XXX] near the [XXX] exit in [XXX]. The vehicle suddenly became uncontrollable. According to the driver, the steering wheel appeared to move on its own, the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly, braking was ineffective, and the vehicle zig-zagged across multiple lanes of traffic from the far left lane to the far right lane. The vehicle reportedly performed approximately half of a 360-degree spin before control was regained. Several motorists reportedly pulled over after observing the vehicle’s erratic behavior. Tesla Service later inspected the vehicle and advised that no fault was found and that the vehicle was operating within factory specifications. However, no explanation was provided for the loss-of-control event. Due to the seriousness of the incident and the risk of severe injury or death, I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter as a potential vehicle safety defect.

Vehicle: 2024 Tesla Model Y Date of Incident: XXX Location: Southbound XXX Express Lanes near the [XXX]/[XXX] exit split in [XXX]. At the time of the incident, Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised was engaged. I was traveling in the Express Lanes and intended to remain in the Express Lanes. I was not attempting to take any exit. As the roadway approached a lane split/gore area, the vehicle began steering toward the striped boom barriers that prevent drivers from going into oncoming traffic, rather than remaining in the travel lane. There were not impending impact alerts or lane deviation alerts. There were no unusual weather conditions, and I did not observe any road conditions that would have made the lane path unclear to a human driver. As soon as I saw the vehicle veering into the boom barriers, I intervened by taking control of the steering wheel. The system disengagement alert/chime occurred only after I took over. Despite my intervention, the vehicle made contact with the boom barrier assembly. The impact caused significant damage to the windshield and driver's side door frame. Glass entered the passenger compartment. My infant child was in the vehicle at the time. Fortunately, no injuries were sustained. Tesla Dashcam footage of the incident was preserved and is available. A claim was opened with Tesla Insurance, and I was advised to submit a vehicle malfunction report for review of vehicle telemetry and FSD operation during the incident. After the collision I maneuvered the vehicle back into its lane, exited the toll highway and parked at a nearby shopping center to assess our injuries the vehicle. While there, another Tesla parked near me, and the driver had experience the same exact situation while his Tesla was in autodrive. I am requesting investigation into whether the vehicle's driver-assistance system improperly tracked toward the boom barriers rather than remaining within the intended travel lane.

On XXX, at approximately 8:01:49 AM Eastern Time, my 2024 Tesla Model Y (VIN: [XXX]) was operating under Full Self-Driving (FSD) software version 14.3.3 when the system directed the vehicle into the outer wall of my residential garage without driver input. FSD was actively engaged at the time of the incident. The vehicle sustained significant damage to the front bumper fascia and wheel well trim. Additional damage includes a cracked front fog light/corner lens assembly with surrounding fascia stress, also caused by the same incident. The incident also caused paint transfer damage to the garage wall trim. I have preserved dashcam footage documenting the incident, which is consistent with FSD-directed vehicle behavior. I am referencing NHTSA Preliminary Evaluation PE25012 as this incident is consistent with the pattern of uninstructed FSD-directed maneuvers currently under federal investigation.
