2024 TESLA MODEL Y — Complaint #1990152
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH filed May 8, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1990152 (ODI reference 11587761) concerns a 2024 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on May 8, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 4, 2024. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as latches/locks/linkages:hood:latch, 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 latches/locks/linkages:hood:latch 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 2024 TESLA MODEL Y shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
While driving on highway at around 60,65 miles speed, I saw a warning that fronk is open. I dont think I pressed open fronk while driving and not sure even its possible while driving. Fronk wasnt open when I started the drive for sure else would have noticed the warning. Warning actually started after driving for 5,6 miles. I was on highway and took me some time to find a safe place to get on the shoulder and when I checked fronk was actually open. Im not sure how much an issue it was or if Tesla fronk can get loose and fly or hit the windscreen and cause visiblity issue or accident involving other vehilces but this was something which was a big concern for a moment while driving at high speed.
