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 didn't get hurt and also she didn''t heart others. Please note I am currently traveling out of the country and will be be back in the US on March 12, 2026. You can contact me via my email or I will be available for phone conversation on the indicated date. Also please note I could not upload the recording of the on board camera because of the format incompatibility. THe phone number included is my wife's and please feel free to contact her.

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 intersection in front of her path. Had she not intervened promptly, there was a realistic risk of a serious side-impact collision. This serious incident was reported to Tesla on 12/30/2025 including a video of the incident. In my correspondence, I requested that all relevant vehicle telemetry, Autosteer/FSD logs, and any uploaded video associated with this time and location be preserved and reviewed. As of today (7 weeks later) they have not followed up with me. The 18-second video was recorded by an independently installed Viofo dashcam, which clearly shows: . the vehicle stopped at a red light, . the light remaining red, . and the vehicle beginning to move forward unexpectedly.
