2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK — Complaint #2177149
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL filed February 16, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2177149 (ODI reference 11718199) concerns a 2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK and was filed on February 16, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 2026. The report was geocoded to Missouri 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 CYBERTRUCK cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: adaptive cruise control failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.

Complaint Description
Since the release of V14, the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system automatically defaults to operating approximately 7 MPH above the posted speed limit. This occurs on all road types, including city streets and highways. When FSD is engaged, the vehicle sets the cruising speed above the detected speed limit without driver input. There is no setting that allows the driver to enforce strict compliance with the posted limit. Available speed settings only permit equal or greater deviation above the speed limit. The driver cannot manually lock or command the system to remain at or below the posted limit while FSD is active. The only way to prevent speeding is to fully disengage FSD. This is not a malfunction. The vehicle is operating as designed under V14. This creates a safety concern because: 1.The system is programmed to exceed legal speed limits by default. 2.The driver does not retain meaningful authority to ensure lawful operation while automation is engaged. 3.Automatic speeding increas
