Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On December 23, 2025, at approximately 9:45 AM, I was operating my Tesla Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged under normal driving conditions. There was no inclement weather, the roadway was straight, and visibility was clear. While driving, the vehicle suddenly veered off the main roadway without warning and traveled off-road, ultimately colliding with a tree. The movement was abrupt and not consistent with normal lane departure. …”

“The new tesla update forces me to interact with the touch screen in order to operate my vehicle after self driving is disabled. There is no way to dismiss or disable this screen in the new update and no way for me to roll my vehicle back to the old software. After disengaging self driving a forced selector box forces you to make one of 4 choices in order to see your screen/navigation and perform other features in the car such as adjusting the windshield wipers. …”

“This is reporting an issue with v14.3.3 and v14.3.4 of Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) Supervised. This month I have driven over 4,000 miles with FSD enabled, approximately 2/3rd on 14.3.3 and 1/3 on 14.3.4. FSD has regularly failed to respect speed limit changes, even though it seems to recognize / observe the speed limit signs. I am certain it’s observing the signs because it renders them on the in-car display, but it doesn’t actually adjust its speed in response to those signs. …”

“NHTSA Recall 24V276000 covers an accelerator pedal pad that can dislodge and become trapped under the pedal, causing unintended acceleration. This recall was identified as active and unperformed on my vehicle by Tesla Council Bluffs, IA. Tesla Pensacola told me the vehicle had nothing wrong and performed no recall work despite multiple service visits. Safety risk: Unintended acceleration is an extreme safety hazard capable of causing fatal accidents. Manufacturer response: Tesla Pensacola failed to identify or perform this safety recall. …”

“While driving with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system engaged, my vehicle struck two standard traffic cones in a clearly marked construction zone. The system failed to detect the cones or make any evasive action. I have video evidence of the incident. The situation was extremely dangerous. The cones could easily have been construction workers, pedestrians, or something more severe. I hesitated to intervene because it happened in a split second, and I was trusting the system to respond — which it completely failed to do. …”
