All Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Complaints
The autopilot ECU failed on my car per Tesla. There was no warning on the car that my safety features were disabled. This is also reported online as a common issue and Tesla is charging $2k to repair a safety computer. The computer was advertised as two chips as a failsafe but that was not the case as both failed on my car. I suspect this software updates broke the computer as well and not at fault from the customer
When driving my car last Friday evening at ~5:45pm PST, I was about 1 mile away from home when alerts popped up on my car including- "Regenerative breaking unavailable", "ABS disabled", "Stability Control disabled", "Traction Control disabled", "Steering Assist reduced", "Automatic Emergency Braking is Unavailable" Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault" "Park Assist Unavailable". I drove the last mile to my house and when I pulled into my garage my gear shift would not work to put my car into park. I tried to then do a "soft reset" by holding both buttons on the steering wheel down, and this would not work. I frantically called the nearest Tesla service center and after 20 min the person there told me there wasn't anything they could help me with and gave me the number for Tessa Roadside Assistance. This whole time I had to have my foot on the break pedal...
I received a notice from Tesla for recall No. 23V-838 for my 2017 Tesla Model X - P100D. The notice states that I should check if my software version is "2023.44.30" or a later release. Unfortunately, the 2017 Model X is on a different update schedule, as it has different computer and sensor systems than newer Model X's. My software version is from 2022. Accordingly, the recall was not remedied by Tesla for my vehicle and all other older Teslas with the prior sensor suite. I checked for any software updates but none was available. At the very least, the notice is deficient, as if they pushed a separate update for older model Teslas, it was not communicated therein. Thanks!
The steering wheel was dysfunctional; the wheel was locked in the middle of the highway, and the car started to change lanes, causing a massive accident. There was a significant accident between my car and a truck; both cars were totaled. My airbags didn't open as well. I got a massive concussion, and I do not know about the condition of the other driver. There was a recall about the steering wheel, and we brought our car to the dealership, and supposedly they fixed the issue. There was no warning or message before the accident. The message appeared on my Tesla screen for the first time less than a few minutes before the accident.
This is a follow on complaint due to this occurring 12 times over the past 6 months, 6 of those times nearly resulted in catastrophic accidents. I wrote Tesla via certified mail, per their owner's rights requirements in Dec 22 and Jan 23, stated the problem and requested repair, replace, or repurchase. I gave Tesla ample opportunity to repair the vehicle. Tesla now refuses to repair and is failing to adhere to their own warranty, recall, stated owners rights, TX code, and NTHSA guidance (recall and likely codes due to breach), and they're now threatening me and behaving negligently by asking that I take their malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle back out on the road. Our vehicle has been out of service 2 months total and 1 month currently over multiple corrective action attempts for a recalled item. Service Visit Invoices versus reality, plus dates in and out of service do...
Continuation of complaint 3 of 3 though this occurred 12 times over 6 months and nearly causing 6 accidents - tell me if you need me to make 6 separate complaints - 12/8/2022 - Vehicle key fobs stopped working (still able to start vehicle from the Tesla mobile app) and the screens completely locked up while driving multiple times nearly causing multiple accidents. It's also likely that the key fob failure was a result of the malfunctioning computer. Cleared computer cache. 12/23/2022 - Battery Fault (vehicle may not start warning) BMS_w035, front passenger safety restraint fault, buggy and unsafe screens; still no information from Tesla regarding the recall for the malfunctioning screens and computers. Tesla stated that they could not "see" any of the faults in the vehicle or in their server, though my wife took photos. 1/16/2023 - Service request scheduled for warranty/recall repair for unsafe screen hazard that...
Phantom breaking occurs predictably in the same spots along the NJ Garden State Parkway. Most certainly I have noticed it and can easily replicate it around the Toms River exit 80 in both south and north bound lanes. The vehicle will break suddenly and abruptly when enhanced autopilot or self-driving is engaged. It will come to a complete stop if allowed even when there is absolutely no other vehicles or obstacles in front of it which would justify breaking. It has happened during the day and even late at night when the road is void of vehicles. This same behavior also occurs further south on the GSP I believe around exit 50 but I can't recall with precision on that one.
When exiting an on-ramp on a freeway, the car suddenly veered to the left on its own, almost colliding into another vehicle. There was no dangerous activity nor any stopped cars anywhere around the car.
I was driving my Tesla on left line of I75 Norh with 70 miles speed. It was on autopilot . Without any warning car lost the control and slipped, changed three lines and collide at the right side median .it’s happened on 3 July 2022. I reported the accident to Tesla right away. The accident took place more than 6 months and still Tesla is saying they are studying the car and not giving a clear report. So the repair people doesn’t know how to fix it and I am out of car. Please investigate the case and help me to get a report so that I can fix the car.
When using autopilot (handsfree) feature, it brakes automatically. In some cases, there is no car in front of it and applies short brake automatically. During bottleneck traffic it gets worst, applies throbbing hard brake and due to excessive hard braking rotors/pads are going bad very often. Whatever is on your seats, will be on the floor and feels like you are having a stroke. Due to the defect in autopilot feature, rotors/pads are going bad and need to spend lot of money replacing them. As tesla service centers are pretty expensive. Attached is the invoice. I feel that brake pads/rotors/labor should be all covered under Tesla warranty. Autopilot feature is very dangerous to use and it also creates lot of stress when the feature is engaged. One of the location/time stamp sharing it below, pretty sure Tesla can pull it off from their history as well. There was no car...
At 1:10 pm on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 we were travelling SB on I-5 near Longview, WA. The day was clear and dry. We were in Lane 2 of a 3-lane stretch of interstate. There were no vehicles in either lane right next to us; a semi-truck was in Lane 1 (outside lane) several car lengths in front of us; a passenger car was 1-2 car lengths behind us in the same lane as us (Lane 2). No overpasses, trees, or any other discernable distractions were present. We were travelling at 70 mph on cruise control. With no warning, the car braked suddenly in an effort to bring the car to a full stop. Fortunately, the driver directly behind us was paying attention and was able to swerve into Lane 3 to avoid rear-ending us. I was able to bring my car into the Tesla location in Lynnwood, WA for...
Firmware version: 2020.48.37.8 Date of Occurrence: 2/18/22 Location: I66 Westbound Description: On I66 Westbound near Rt123 Exit the car was traveling at 70mph and decreased 50mph. The car was on full autopilot. Set speed limit changed from 70 to 50mph but signage and the car's perceived speed limit was 55mph. No cars ahead of me to initiate the rapid deacceleration. The occurrence happened between 8 to 8:15AM. Weather was partly cloudy. Second occurrence of rapid deacceleration occurred on the same commute. On I66 Westbound near Rt50 the car was traveling at 70mph and the vehicle decreased speed to 30mph. The autopilot set to 70mph and rapidly deaccelerated to 30mph. Cars ahead were several car lengths away. No braking or deacceleration was observed by the cars ahead. The occurrence happened between 8:15 to 8:30AM. Weather was partly cloudy. Note, this issue has happened multiple times over the last 6 months. Didn't...
Tesla Full Self Driving FSD is too dangerous for public street experiments. The video evidence is not from my vehicle but mine does sudden automatic unexpected swerving the same way: Twitter video shows the automatic system swerved toward a bicyclist and the driver was able to grab the steering wheel to manually abort the system. This automatic system with numerous close calls should not use the public as dummies for testing. https://twitter.com/TaylorOgan/status/1491224700303060992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1491224700303060992%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fteslamotorsclub.com%2Ftmc%2Fthreads%2Ffsd-beta-videos-and-questions-for-fsd-beta-drivers.210858%2Fpage-268
Tesla Full Self Driving FSD is too dangerous for public street experiments. The video evidence is not from my vehicle but mine does not recognize many obstacles that increase the risks of collisions: The YouTube video shows the automatic system failed to recognize the green bollard and even with the quick intervention from a claimed well experienced FSD driver, the car collided with the green bollard. The public should not be forced to be at risk for allowing this automatic system with numerous dangerous behaviors to experiment on the public street. Tesla should have tested this in its closed course by building its own green bollard and then it can crash all it wants but not at the expense of public safety. https://youtu.be/Zl9rM8D3k34
