“Using Tesla FSD (full self-driving supervised) I drove home, approximately 120 miles, from a family visit. From previous experience with Tesla FSD, I knew that the navigation system would navigate into the incorrect of 2 driveways (left, instead of the correct driveway, right) leading to my parking space. …”
NHTSA complaint #11736264, filed 2026-05“The automatic pilot computer (AP4) failed on my 2025 Tesla Model Y after approximately 400 miles. This controls a lot of the vehicle's auto pilot features but it also controls a lot of its safety features, such as the back-up camera, forward collision warning and blind spot warning. As of 19 December, the Tesla Service Center has had my vehicle for 14 days with no fix for the foreseeable future.”
NHTSA complaint #11631671, filed 2024-12“While on a two lane road, my car decided to go around the car in front of me into on-coming traffic while in Full Self-Driving mode. I had to jerk the car to the right to prevent a head-on collision!!!! I missed the on-coming vehicle by seconds!!! This was terrifying!”
NHTSA complaint #11690679, filed 2025-09“We were Driving East on I-40 at mile marker 245 Friday Nov 29 2024 around 8:50am in the right lane. We were passed by a gray Ford F-150 on the left. We had the Traffic Aware Cruise Control enabled. Our Tesla braked hard when the F-150 was directly beside us. The Ford was not in our lane at any point, and never changed lanes. Luckily a car behind us was not following too closely or an accident could have happened.”
