“On the beginning of october 11, my reverse camera stops functioning. At night, when I park my car in the garage, my front screen (behind steering wheel) was blank. Shortly after, my car suddenly self-accelerated while I was parked. This resulted in the car smashing through my garage wall, causing loads of damage in the room opposite of the wall. Some damage included: a broken wooden bar, shattered glasses & liquor bottles, and damages to the front of my Tesla. This car was newly purchased, with a milage of simply 40 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #11677957, filed 2025-08

“While driving my Tesla Model X on the interstate at highway speed, the vehicle began intermittently displaying false warnings that the trunk was open.

This loses my speedometer, my signal information, and happened while merging and nearly caused me an accident. The lane keep assist has retrograded significantly, it often goes outside of the painted lines and is in danger of hitting curbs. The processor feels like it struggles to keep up, and the auto steer is unsettled and jerky as it changes its mind. …”

“While driving on an interstate at night traveling at 70mph the computer/console froze navigation and wouldn’t respond to touch commands. Then everything on the car went dark. No screen, no signal lights, nothing. Luck is the only reason I did not have an accident. This was terrifying and dangerous and I and others could easily have gotten hurt. My car had no lights and other cars couldn’t see me as I changed lanes (without being able to signal) to pull in the emergency lane. The car has had connectivity issues starting at 1 year after purchase (about one month ago). …”
