2025 Tesla Model Y Brakes Problems

“On 11/29/2025 at 1635 hours, our Tesla Model Y - awd was parked on our driveway with a less than 1% incline after it was snow blowed, cleared of snow. The Tesla was plugged in to its charger. The vehicle then unexpectedly, uncontrolled began moving forward, striking the car in front of it shortly after I walked in front of these Tesla. This incident could have seriously injured myself or one of my children. Tesla said car is operating as designed and was due to cold temps, snow and slight grade of driveway. …”

“Following a secondary botched windshield replacement within 3 weeks performed by the Tesla Service Center in Carle Place, NY, my Tesla Model Y experienced a catastrophic structural water intrusion during rainfall. A great amounts of water dripping directly through the windshield seal into the cabin, soaking the dashboard electronics, floorboards, and much more water coming in from the brake pedal area while driving on LIE.
