Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2025: “My 2025 Tesla AWD Cybertruck's rear driver 20 wheel came loose, creating a loud banging noise. The wheel nuts on 2 of the studs worked finger-loose, and one of the studs broke off the hub. The truck had 9000 miles on the odometer. Tesla's service dept blamed me for improperly rotating the tires, but I had never removed or replaced them.”
NHTSA complaint #11750853, filed 2026-072024: “I believe there was an issue with the ABS system that kept me from stopping the vehicle, as speed was increasing while going downhill with the brake pedal pushed hard. I was forced to make the choice to steer the vehicle into a mountainside to stop it before I ended up over the side of the mountain road. The vehicle then tipped over, coming to a stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11707191, filed 2025-122026: “Lane Departure Avoidance is jerking the vehicle aggressively back into the lane and is creating a serious safety concern. I have already scheduled maintenance with Tesla regarding this issue, but I was told that there was nothing they could do about it. The issue occurs when driving in a lane and needing to move over quickly or make an immediate lane adjustment. If the turn signal is not activated, the vehicle will aggressively steer/jerk itself back toward the original lane. …”
