Example complaints

Back-over prevention (rear camera): “The rear camera has never worked properly. When I put the car in reverse, sometimes it doesn’t show an image. This happens most days. This has been over a minute in duration, though sometimes shorter. This has happened hundreds of times. It also sometimes will display a still image when moving, which of course is very dangerous as it gives a sense of safety and being clear when anything could move into the rear area without me knowing. I have done the recall, which was an ineffective software update. I am on software 3.7, which has the latest, and it didn’t work. …”

NHTSA complaint #11702368, filed 2025-12

Vehicle speed control: “I drive in the standard one pedal driving mode which allows for the car to brake and come to a complete stop using the regen system by simply releasing the accelerator. The issue is that I had come to a stop behind another car at traffic lights with my foot of the accelerator. In one pedal driving there is no need to hold the brake pedal as the car should so this itself. After a few seconds of being stationary the car, without me touching the accelerator, left forward and started to drive on itself. I was able to stop this by applying the brake before I hit the car in front. …”

Other or unknown: “On June 22, 2024 at 5.25pm I went to my driveway to open my car door to leave for dinner. When I opened the door black smoke came gushing out on my face. The whole car was filled with black soot and the passenger seat was burning and my Nikon DSLR camera was melted and battery compartment opened and maybe leaking. Temperature inside the car was 104 and outside was 87 when I opened the car. The car passenger seat was melted including the foam and wires. …”
