On January 9th my wife got into an accident in our 2022 Tesla Model Y vehicle. She reported that as she was backing out of a prking spot in a strip mall, the vrhicle suddenly accelerated backward involuntarely which resulted in colliding with a vehicle which was approaching from the rear side. My wife reported the speed was so violent that she felt dizziness. When she took the car bto the Tesla shop for repair by the insurance, the Tesla repair people discounted her reporting and did not do any follow-up to investigate the issue. Note the onboard camera recorded the swift movement of the vehicle and I will try to upload it. We have read that such problem was looked into by the NTHSA in the past and that it is being revisited again. Note that that Tesla has determined the vehicle as being totalled and has kept it at their shop. Please let us know your thoughts on this matter so if this is a serious problem that it can be addressed so it won't happen to others. My wif was lucky she did

On December 30th, 2025, my wife experienced a serious and unexpected safety event while using Autosteer in one of our Tesla Model Y cars (we own two of them). The version of the vehicle software in use was v12 (2025.26.8) and the Full Self Driving (Supervised) Software was v12.6.4. The vehicle came to a complete stop at a red traffic light on northbound San Gabriel Blvd in Pasadena at the intersection that controls entry to the I-210 West. After waiting for approximately 55 seconds, Autosteer initiated forward movement into the intersection while the traffic light was still red. The vehicle’s movement was not caused by driver input. My wife’s feet were away from the pedals at the time. There was no visible lead vehicle movement or other obvious external trigger. Fortunately, my wife was attentive and immediately disengaged Autosteer, brought the vehicle to a stop, and carefully reversed back into a safe position. Moments later, multiple fast-moving vehicles crossed the intersect

HV failure failed on 2/12/26 @ 62k miles. Multiple errors (BMS_d265 Replacebatterypack, BMS_a079_Max_charge_limit_exceeded, and BMS_a029_dSOC_limiting. Frequent errors while driving, especially during acceleration on highway which were confusing/distracting. The errors seem to indicate danger with the vehicle and to not charge the vehicle/limit the charge to prevent further damage to the vehicle/surroundings. Took into service center on 2/13/26. Confirmed need a replacement HV Pack.

Front driver side lower control arm bolts came off without external forces. Both bolts fell off with no damage to the threads. Tesla service stated that they were possible not seated or missing per their inspection. Further er damage was caused by this defective part leading to the car not being operable due to no steering and no drive as well as wheel literally coming off the car.

Front driver side lower control arm bolts came off without external forces. Both bolts fell off with no damage to the threads. Tesla service stated that upon inspection of their technician it is determined that the front left lower link bolt was either not properly seated or missing which caused a defective front lower link bushing. (I included a screenshot of their finding). The damage was caused by this defective part leading to the car not being unsafe and inoperable due to no steering and no drive as well as wheel literally coming off the car while in motion. Luckily I was simply backing into my driveway when this failure happened narrowly avoiding a potential life threatening accident. I have researched that this was a known issue for my exact make and model just months before my car was purchased in march 2022. I have attached the document "Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-835. Unfortunately, Tesla refuses to admit the defect when it was time to pay for the repairs despit

We live on a road with a steep embankment. My wife backed across our driveway and when she put the car from reverse to drive it accelerated uncontrollably. She hit our mailbox, then a power pole across the street, a driveway across the street then over the embankment where she hit a retainer wall another wooden railing and finally came to rest against our neighbors house. If she wouldn’t have caught the edge of the house she would have went down approximately 150 foot embankment. Not only the car accelerated on its own it is supposed to automatically brake, it didn’t and the airbags never deployed. This all this happened right after it went through an automatic update. The car was totaled, with my wife getting a concussion and a lot of muscle injuries. There was no warning lights prior to event and we reported it to Tesla and all they did was send camera images which we had. The car is now in possession of Wawanesa Insurance because it was a total loss

While driving, the front left brake caliper detached, causing immediate damage to the wheel and a tire blowout. There was no recent brake, wheel, or suspension service (over two years). Tesla is repairing the vehicle for an estimated $2,336.41 but did not clearly identify root cause. This was a sudden brake system failure that could have resulted in loss of control. I am reporting this as a potential safety defect.

HVAC system failure in sub-freezing weather causing loss of windshield defrost and cabin heat. Tesla has acknowledged this as a known hardware design limitation of the heat pump/octovalve system but is refusing repair coverage outside of warranty. This condition affects driver visibility and winter driving safety.

A tire experienced a sudden bead-area blowout while the vehicle was traveling at freeway speed. There was no pothole, curb, debris, or roadway impact. The failure occurred approximately ten days after installation. Inspection shows failure at the tire bead adjacent to a wheel defect. The wheel was represented as new at installation but shows evidence of prior material removal and cosmetic reconditioning, including rounded aluminum exposure and surface striations inconsistent with fresh impact. The compromised wheel-tire interface caused sudden bead unseating and rapid air loss.

The contact owned a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while the contact’s daughter was driving at approximately 70 MPH under significant rainy weather conditions, with autopilot mode engaged, the auto pilot became inoperable. The contact stated that the driver attempted to steer the steering wheel; however, the steering could not be steered, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently collided with a concrete wall and might have collided with another vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that all the air bags of the vehicle deployed during the crash. As a result of the incident, the driver sustained a nose injury and facial lacerations. The driver was transported to a local Emergency Room for medical treatment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. A Tesla service center was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failu

While using cruise control at highway speed, the car suddenly slams on the breaks causing major panic. Oversteering onto incoming traffic and cars following are affected slamming on their breaks to avoid contact. Have contacted Tesla Service Center multiple times addressing the problem (Phantom breaking problem). What they keep on telling me is that there is no fix to the problem at this time. The cruise control intermittently turns off and on by itself with no warning or obstruction. No lamps warning or messages prior to failure. My Tesla 2022 Model Y (Performance) has been inspected at the Tesla Service Center many times, but to no avail problem still exists.

In 9/2025 I noticed that the vehicle software was defaulting to a speed limit of 55 mph. I noticed that when in any form of autopilot and FSD it would accelerate to that speed. This happens in any situation before the car encounters a sign or an area that it's internal map corrects it, which is not common outside of major routes in Idaho. This includes paved marked roads, graded roads, single track dirt roads, my driveway and garage. Sometimes the car controls it's speed consistent with conditions, sometimes not. It can happen unexpectedly, and that's the issue. Where I have learned this is a problem, I of course turn off the AP or FSD and drive myself, however, if I am in driver assist mode and things are going well and the speed limit in the vehicle changes suddenly to the default 55 mph, it can take a moment for me to react. In October 2025 I reported this to my Tesla Service center as well as Tesla's over the air and on line email reporting options (from which I got no response). T

The lateral lower front right suspension link and its securing bolts failed, causing the control arm to drop and the vehicle to become uncontrollable. (The bolts actually fell out on the ground) This was the second repair involving the same suspension area, with prior work performed on March 27, 2025. The replaced components should be available for inspection upon request. The failure caused the vehicle to become uncontrollable while backing into a parking spot. Had this occurred at road speed, it could have resulted in a complete loss of control, posing a risk to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and surrounding traffic. Tesla service confirmed the failure during the January 5, 2026 repair and replaced the affected suspension components under Invoice #[XXX]. Tesla service technicians inspected the vehicle during both repair visits (March 27, 2025 and January 5, 2026). There is no record of inspection by police or insurance representatives. No warning lamps, messages, or pri

I got into my car two days ago and the computer screen was black. I have tried everything to reset it, holding down both scroll wheels with the brake pressed for up to 2 minutes, unplugging the low voltage battery overnight and plugging it back in, and even doing the hard reset at the disconnect under the rear passenger seats and my computer will not turn on. I can't see any information about my speed or how much charge I have, I can't turn on climate controls and it's the middle of winter and I live in the mountains of Colorado. I can't even open my glove box without the screen. From everything I read, it sounds like an MCU failure, my vehicle has the newer MCU2. Tesla quoted about $800 for a tow and it sounds like the replacement costs could be $2500+
