2022 TESLA MODEL Y — Complaint #2065285
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE filed February 13, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2065285 (ODI reference 11642471) concerns a 2022 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on February 13, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 1, 2024. The vehicle had 30,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:autonomous/self driving:software, 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:software 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 that while driving at various speeds with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) activated, the destination was entered, and the system announced the direction steps when suddenly the Full Self-Driving (FSD) disengaged independently causing the driver to be required to take control of the vehicle. During the independent disengagement of the Full Self-Driving (FSD), the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The contact was concerned that the failure could result in a crash if a rear vehicle was tailgating. In addition, the contact stated that the Full Self-Driving (FSD) independently disengaging occurred during excessive sun exposure. On a separate occasion, the contact stated that the Full Self-Driving (FSD) was engaged and driving at various speeds, and the vehicle independently maneuvered into oncoming traffic on a 4-lane road causing the contact to have to take over control of the vehicle. A crash was avoided; however, the contact was concerned
