2022 TESLA MODEL Y — Complaint #1884432
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING filed March 31, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1884432 (ODI reference 11514825) concerns a 2022 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on March 31, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 29, 2022. The vehicle had 6,900 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Utah based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:autonomous/self driving, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA MODEL Y cohort independently describe similar electrical system:adas:autonomous/self driving failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 TESLA MODEL Y shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH with the Autonomous Self Driving feature activated, while attempting to make a lane change, the vehicle was independently self-correcting back into the original driving lane. Additionally, while driving with Autonomous Self Driving feature activated, the vehicle experienced phantom braking and the vehicle stopped in the middle of the highway. The contact stated that there were no obstacles in front of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to experience the phantom braking. The contact also stated that the "Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance" failed to function correctly and would overcompensate when the vehicle made slight lane adjustments. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the Autonomous Self Driving and Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance features be deactivated. The vehicle was not rep
