NHTSA Complaint #11701975 — 2026 TESLA MODEL Y

We recently bought Tesla Model Y. Last week of October 2025. Last week we had visited our friend who lives in Pineville. Less than a mile from our place. We were at his place for an hour, as we decided to leave and as we put the car in park to drive we get a warning that “steering assist is not available.” I was unable to move the steering even with all my strength. The steering had become very hard to steer the car in any direction. We had to leave the car there and get back the next day to check on it. There was a software glitch that got resolved however the situation was scary as if this would have happened anywhere else or if this would have happend when my wife is alone it could have had different consequences. I would like to report this to the Authorities to see if other Tesla people have been facing similar issues.
