Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I've created several bug reports for the autopilot system which is, a very real danger. The vehicle accelerates towards parked or stopped cars, slams on the brakes without explanation on the freeway, begins to change lanes on the freeway then violently swerves back into the original lane without explanation. I've taken the vehicle into 3 different service centers. The explanation is software and they recommend updating the software when new versions come out. The version of software released are not ready to be released to the general public. …”
NHTSA complaint #11363208, filed 2020-10, 6,000 miles“Upon accelerating the front end bounces and vibrates unsafely. Tesla is aware of the faulty dangerous design, yet they continue to sell their Model X without disclosing to purchaser. Additionally, they refuse to repair the vehicle, indicating that new front half axles will only temporarily solve the issue. The bounce happens when starting from a complete stop or often when accelerating from one speed to another. The bounce has been happening since april but repeated repair requests to Tesla have been refused.”
