2023 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

The incident involves the malfunctioning of the Tesla Vision and Parking Assist systems in my 2023 Tesla Model Y. Over the course of owning the vehicle, I have experienced multiple issues with these systems that led to three parking accidents and safety concerns. On several occasions, the Tesla Vision system displayed a message indicating "Tesla Vision will experience degraded performance." This message appeared consistently, signaling an ongoing issue with the system's capabilities. The degraded performance of Tesla Vision was particularly evident in its inability to accurately gauge distances and detect obstacles during parking maneuvers. The Parking Assist feature, which is crucial for safe and efficient parking, also exhibited significant flaws. The system failed to provide accurate distance measurements and warnings, which are essential for preventing collisions. This was especially problematic in tight parking spaces and while maneuvering near obstacles. Specific incidents of concern include: 1. A parking accident occurred when attempting to park in my garage. The Tesla Vision system failed to accurately detect the garage door, resulting in a collision while exiting the garage and attempting to turn the car. 2. Another incident involved a collision with a white column positioned against a gray wall, which the Tesla Vision system failed to recognize, leading to vehicle damage. These incidents highlight the unreliability of the Tesla Vision and Parking Assist systems in their current state. Prior to owning the Tesla Model Y, I drove a 2019 Acura MDX and had no parking accidents. The technicians at the Tesla dealership do not use the Park Assist because of this I have a video showing assist lines moving from stop to 16" ... while parked. The image showed I had 14" when in fact it was 5"

Driving 75 MPH on the interstate with cruise control activated. Brakes slammed unexpectedly with no reason or warning. Had there been anyone behind me it would have caused serious accident.

Steering got locked while driving. Couldn’t perform left turn in the middle of drive

I was driving eastbound on interstate 8 with adaptive cruise control engaged and my Tesla suddenly stoppeg in the freeway. No one was behind me but it was frightening. 0930 hours

I was driving on the freeway on cruise control. As I was manuvering a slight curve in the road, there was a car in the lane to my right. All of a sudden my Tesla just started stopping almost violently. Luckily no one was behind me. It was the third time this has happened. Scary. No warning or anything.

Since we’ve purchased this vehicle we have had several phantom braking incidents while using cruise control (NOT full self driving). There is NO way to report this to Tesla that we have found. So we have decided to report this directly to the NHTSA. We would be happy to provide additional details.

The contact owns a 2023 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, the headlights inadvertently turned off. No warning light was illuminated. The contact parked the vehicle, and the headlights inadvertently turned on. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,370.

Intermittent sudden braking for no reason when driving with the cruise on during highway driving.

Vehicle reversing malfunctioned , may be a software defect. Vehicle while reversing without pressing the accelerator went berserk and hit another vehicle in the driveway. Vehicle data was provided by Tesla but there is no evidence of collision nor any video recording of the incident. No issues were seen nor any warnings displayed prior to the vehicle reversing itself. However insurance deemed it as driver fault without any confirmation by the manufacturer (Tesla).
