2022 TESLA MODEL Y — Complaint #2123373

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL filed August 23, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2123373 (ODI reference 11682599) concerns a 2022 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on August 23, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 21, 2025. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: adaptive cruise control, 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 forward collision avoidance: adaptive cruise control 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

When using Tesla Autopilot (Adaptive Cruise Control) Tesla Curvature Assist will engage on straight roads during nice weather and great forward visibility. When Tesla Curvature Assist engages, the car brakes and slows dramatically. I have had drivers behind me think I was brake checking them or messing with them. This feature is dangerous and there is not an option to disable.
