NHTSA Complaint #11685462 — 2025 TESLA MODEL Y

I am filing this complaint regarding recurring safety, security, and system failures in my Tesla Model Y, concerns about unauthorized access, and Tesla’s refusal to provide complete diagnostic and privacy data. These issues have directly endangered my safety and prevent me from confirming whether the vehicle has been compromised. The vehicle’s touchscreen and associated software systems repeatedly failed. An unfamiliar key fob activity was detected on July 27, 2025 and on at least two occasions prior to July 27, 2025, the touchscreen went black and could only be restored via a full hard reboot. Safety Risks: * Loss of touchscreen functionality could disable access to critical driving and emergency controls. * Potential unauthorized access poses risks of theft or malicious interference with the vehicle. * Chemical/gas odors could indicate exposure to harmful substances. Tesla service center inspected the vehicle but reported no issues; I believe the inspection may not have been fully conducted as requested. The vehicle has not been independently inspected outside of Tesla. Police and insurance representatives have not been involved. Warning Signs Prior to Failure: * The touchscreen went black twice in the two days prior to July 27, 2025. * Unfamiliar key fob activity was detected on July 27, 2025. * The charger port opened by itself multiple times. * The vehicle locked while I was inside on one occasion. Attempts to Resolve: * Tesla’s mobile service rescheduling and service center inspection did not identify or resolve the issues. * Five privacy/data requests submitted to Tesla for access and diagnostic logs returned incomplete, empty, or irrelevant files. Desired Outcome: * A complete copy of all records and data related to my vehicle, including access logs, diagnostic logs, security/camera events, and system communications. * A thorough, transparent inspection of the vehicle by Tesla, conducted in my presence, with full documentation of findings provided.
