2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

"Full Self Driving" without explanation stopped working while I was using it. I tried to park the car, walk away, lock it; I even rebooted the car by holding both scroll wheels on the steering wheel as I've been directed in the past. Nothing worked. I noticed during my shift that "Auto Pilot" still worked on the highway so I was using it for a couple miles successfully. Then when the time for the exit came the car took the exit normally but then when it switched to "FSD" the car stopped steering and drove me directly towards a drainage ditch next to the off ramp and all steering assist and lane keeping was turned off all at the same time (while traveling at 50mph on I4). I was really scared luckily I never took my hands off the wheel but anyone with lesser reaction time would have crashed and possibly died. I got this on dashcam, pulled over to calm down (McDonalds near MCO), then drove back to prove it happened with the iPhone as Tesla has directed me to do on many occasions to "prove it". So I got it all on video you can see on this link here since NHTSA only allows low quality short videos less than 10mb like its the 1990's. The more I report Tesla and tell my riders about the child slaves in the Congo mining the cobalt in the batteries the more frequently the car tries to kill me. This is a cover up not a coincidence. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksryabtxo953qz5/Video%20Jan%2024%202023%2C%201%2040%2043%20PM.mov?dl=0

The vehicle started shaking and stuff wrong from the rear wheels and was told to pull over safely. The error codes Dl_a063 and Dl_a139 popped up and it seems there is a rear drive unit failure.

Driving both east and west on 429 near the Wekiva river results in the car coming to a complete 0mph stop in a 70mph two lane highway with barriers on both sides and no signs or lights. Then the car starts changing lanes on the highway going about 15mph while cars are whipping past me at 70+mph with the horn on. The last 8 or 10 updates have not solved this issue I've been very alarmed and done everything in my power to avoid using the software and have demanded a refund many times, this is simply a deadly scam. The FSD contract is a license to kill and silence your attempts to alert the public like a good Samaritan; it must be shut down until proven safe. Each time they say they fixed it, each time I go out and risk my life and they lie, and lie and lie and now the stories of people dying from this exact scenario are starting to pile up (pun intended). The car is STILL confusing its sea level or altitude positioning on the GPS for the round about with stop signs below the sunpass highway. Fact of the matter is I have over 15,000 GB's of footage and there are hundreds if not thousands of scenarios where the car needs to be corrected. I am a professional driver and have software development experience but we cannot allow a private corporation to use human American citizens as lab rats and throw them aside when their software that is not safe yet kills the very people trying to improve the system. Not to mention innocent by standards who have never seen the inside of a Tesla nevermind an arbitration contract. This is all completely unethical. Windows havent been fixed after recall despite recalibrating windows, 2 software updates and restarting the car all as recommended. Cheap paint scratches, chips. Plastic snaps, upholstery loosens.

While driving on the freeway into a tunnel during bright conditions while on Autopilot, the car unexpectedly braked heavily on a straight road, even though there were no debris or vehicles in front. Had to take immediate action since cars were driving around me. Similar event occurred when driving at night, luckily no cars were around me. During rain, automatic wipers did not activate. Required 2 actions to deploy wipers: pressing button on the turn-signal stock, then finding the menu on the screen to set wiper speed while driving in dangerous conditions. Another option is to use the voice command, however at times it takes 2-4 attempts to activate.

I had engaged Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” feature in a 25 MPH zone. As the speed limit changed to 35 MPH the vehicle correctly adjusted to 35 MPH. However, right after that I entered a school zone marked by a flashing yellow light. I used the brakes to slow down to 18 MPH, which disengaged the “Full Self Driving” feature because the vehicle did not adjust on its own. Once I was at 18 MPH I re-engaged “Full Self Driving” and the vehicle immediately started accelerating to 35 MPH again, in spite of the fact that I was in a school zone still. It seems the ”Full Self Driving” feature cannot detect school zones, even when marked by flashing yellow lights. The onboard visualizations appears to have detected them as stop lights.

On multiple occastions my car has suddenly applied the brakes when using cruise control. The braking ranges from mild to severe. This hasn't resulted in an accident but there has been a close call when a car was following closely. I have brought this to Tesla's attention and there response was along the lines of there is nothing that can be done to fix it and it should get better over time. It has not got better.

We have experienced phantom braking at least once almost every time we drive on the interstate or on a two lane highway. For example, wen approaching a underpass with a concrete retaining wall or on a curve with a hill. In other instances, we do not understand why phantom braking occurred.

Wanted to report a problem with Tesla's map navigation and adaptive cruise control (what they refer to as "Autopilot). I haven't seen this reported in the media so wanted to report it here. The map navigation system is problematic, when navigating using the map on the freeway, it will reroute a different path because it somehow thinks I am driving on surface streets. It does this consistently. Because of that, the car when on "Autopilot" will stop in the middle of the freeway, which is incredibly dangerous. This system aims to be safe (by stopping) but also causes greater danger to the following cars by having the car brake. This could be the source behind the "phantom braking problem" that is reported in the media.

2nd row floor is flexing. Same issue found on Model 3 which already has a service bulletin for it. Tried to tell Tesla Service but they won't address it and will not fix it per the service bulletin and every shop that I went will do their own repair that doesn't fix the issue. Here's the service bulletin on the Model 3 which is the same issue. SB-18-45-002 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10143016-9999.pdf

“Phantom braking” episode: While driving on a two lane freeway using Tesla branded Autopilot (not full self drive) the car automatically and suddenly braked, reducing speed approximately from 70 mph to below 50 mph before manual intervention. This happened with no car in front or behind and while approaching a car in the lane to the right while also approaching an overpass. I also noticed there was a patch of uneven colored pavement beneath the overpass. One passenger in the front seat was thrust into her seatbelt in the event.
