NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS filed March 5, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2071152 (ODI reference 11646403) concerns a 2025 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on March 5, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 4, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: warnings, 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 back over prevention: warnings 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 2025 TESLA MODEL Y shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Not only was I not able to use the self driving capability, which I paid $8000 for, but also the car lacked the most basic safety features. I contacted Tesla service center, they refused to admit that the sensor malfunction is a security concern, and still put me on an appointment three weeks later (dec 13). After the first appointment, they did not fix the problem at all and noted it was a major computer issue, as reported by several media outlets [XXX] ). So my brand new car has a defective core component upon delivery. I was scheduled to meet them after they get the computer part on Dec 27. The appointment was rescheduled to Jan 14 again for m
