Driver Assist & Collision Avoidance complaints by model year
Lane Departure Avoidance is jerking the vehicle aggressively back into the lane and is creating a serious safety concern. I have already scheduled maintenance with Tesla regarding this issue, but I was told that there was nothing they could do about it. The issue occurs when driving in a lane and needing to move over quickly or make an immediate lane adjustment. If the turn signal is not activated, the vehicle will aggressively steer/jerk itself back toward the original lane. This can be dangerous because the system is essentially fighting the driver’s steering input at a moment when the driver may need to move out of the lane to avoid a hazard, merge, or reposition the vehicle. Lane Departure Avoidance should assist and warn the driver, not override the driver’s steering input to the point that the vehicle aggressively forces itself back into the lane. At minimum, the system should be adjustable to provide a vibration, warning, or chime rather than making such a strong steering correction. The current behavior makes it feel like the vehicle cannot safely exit a lane without activating the turn signal, even when the driver is intentionally and safely controlling the vehicle. This needs to be investigated and corrected because the steering intervention itself can create a hazardous situation rather than prevent one.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Interior factory component off-gassing causes a recurring residue film on the internal glass of the forward-facing camera, completely blinding the vehicle's primary safety systems and FSD. Tesla Service refuses to rectify the defect under warranty, calling it standard maintenance, forcing owners to drive with compromised driver-assist features or pay recurring out-of-pocket fees.

NHTSA complaint #11750193 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
Approximately 10 minutes after my vehicle was serviced at a Tesla Service Center for a Full Self-Driving (FSD) concern, I entered the highway and engaged FSD. The service center had stated the system was operating correctly. While traveling approximately 75 mph through a highway curve, FSD suddenly changed to an "Unavailable" state. According to Tesla's own accident data, I did not disengage FSD. There was no audible warning, no effective visual warning, no takeover request, no controlled deceleration, and no safe handoff to the driver before the vehicle stopped controlling itself. Within about one second of FSD becoming unavailable, the vehicle left its intended path and struck a concrete highway divider. If the divider had not been present, the vehicle likely would have crossed into oncoming highway traffic, creating the risk of a catastrophic head-on collision with other vehicles, including a semi-truck. Tesla's accident report confirms I did not disengage FSD and shows no warning or takeover request before impact. I possess documentation supporting that FSD became unavailable without a safe transition to the driver. This failure occurred immediately after Tesla serviced the vehicle and represented that the FSD system was functioning properly. Despite the accident data, Tesla Customer Support and the Service Center have refused to acknowledge or investigate what appears to be a failure of the FSD system's fail-safe behavior. The failed component appears to be the FSD/Autopilot system and its driver handoff logic. The vehicle and electronic records are available for inspection. An automated driving system should not terminate operation at highway speed without providing adequate warning, a safe transfer of control, or controlled deceleration. I believe this presents a serious safety defect that could result in fatal crashes. The collision caused approximately $15,500 in vehicle damage.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
This is reporting an issue with v14.3.3 and v14.3.4 of Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) Supervised. This month I have driven over 4,000 miles with FSD enabled, approximately 2/3rd on 14.3.3 and 1/3 on 14.3.4. FSD has regularly failed to respect speed limit changes, even though it seems to recognize / observe the speed limit signs. I am certain it’s observing the signs because it renders them on the in-car display, but it doesn’t actually adjust its speed in response to those signs. The most egregious of cases have been when driving through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona where the speed limit is often 75 mph on Interstate highways (e.g., [XXX]). On multiple occasions the vehicle has ignored construction speed limit changes to 55 mph, and instead has tried to maintain 75-80 mph through the construction zone. Not only could that get me a nasty speeding ticket, but it could also put construction workers lives at risk. It has also happened in non-construction zones, like when on a non-interstate highway that passes through towns and reduces speed when doing so. It doesn’t fail 100% of the time, but it has been an issue more than 50% of the time I enter a construction zone.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Tesla does a warning if it can not detect your eyes on the road when using FSD (Full Self Driving). After few warnings on a trip it becomes a strike. After 5 strikes, they remove FSD and AutoPilot for a week. It becomes dangerous now since I have been driving on FSD for several years to drive the big CyberTruck without FSD. The removing FSD for a week behavior needs to be stopped. Without FSD chances of accident are 10000% increased.
NHTSA complaint #11743084 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
On 05/30/2026 at approximately 15H24, my Tesla Cybertruck was parked and stopped at approx. [XXX] of Target). No one was seated in the driver seat. A passenger entered the vehicle and sat in the front passenger seat to play music. Shortly after the passenger sat down, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly moved forward on its own and rear-ended the vehicle parked directly in front of it and causing damages. This occurred while the vehicle was supposed to be parked/stationary and while there was no driver in the driver seat. We do not understand what triggered the vehicle to move forward. This appears to be a serious safety issue because a parked, unattended vehicle should not move forward without driver input. The incident created a collision risk to nearby vehicles, pedestrians, and anyone standing in front of or around the vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA review this as a potential unintended movement / unintended acceleration / park-to-drive activation / rollaway safety defect. Tesla should be required to investigate the vehicle logs and determine whether the movement was caused by a software issue, gear selection issue, Autopark/FSD/Summon/mobile app activation, brake hold/parking brake failure, sensor/occupancy issue, accelerator pedal issue, or any other defect. Video and photos in the link: [XXX] There was property damage to the vehicle parked in front. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA complaint #11741313 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
All vehicle cameras failed simultaneously on May 12, 2026 at approximately 4:41 PM. Tesla app displayed "Cameras Unavailable — Please try again later." All camera-dependent systems were completely inoperable: Autopilot, FSD, Sentry Mode, dashcam/TeslaCam. Component failed: Entire forward and perimeter camera system. Vehicle available for inspection at Tesla Tallahassee Service Center. Safety risk: Vehicle cannot safely operate driver assistance systems with all cameras dead. Total loss of rear/side visibility systems while driving. No warning prior to failure. Manufacturer response: Tesla Pensacola general manager intentionally cancelled 8 consecutive service appointments — confirmed on recorded Tesla corporate call May 29, 2026. Owner drove 2.5 hours to one appointment and the GM rescheduled it without any notice. Tesla corporate agent confirmed on record: "You shouldn't have to travel to a service center that's over 100 miles away when you have one that's close to you." As of May 29, 2026 vehicle is at Tallahassee SC — Tesla refusing to provide a loaner or complete repairs. Owner has been without vehicle 24-48 hours despite being promised a loaner at time of tow. Prior warning: TeslaCam left-repeater camera failure events auto-saved December 15, 2025 — system was already failing 5 months prior to total failure. Was defect reproduced by dealer: No — Tesla refused to inspect despite 8 cancelled appointments.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The main FSD computer has given me a fault which probably necessitates replacement of the main computer at a cost of $3250. Car is 2024 and is just out of warranty with 52,000 miles within the last month. Tesla states they will not cover. Safety features are "not available", per the warning on my dash.

The failed components include the Tesla Vision system (cameras), sensors, Active Safety Control Module (AEB), and Gear Selection UI. Symptoms first appeared on April 30, 2026, including black screens and "Autopilot Unavailable" alerts. Internal vehicle logs from Apr 30 to May 02 confirm persistent "SNA" (Signal Not Available) and "UNAVAILABLE" states for these critical safety modules well before the collision. On the day of the accident (May 02), the logs recorded 25 instances of Gear UI signal loss, which completely disabled the rearview camera and proximity alerts while reversing. This total "blind" state put my safety at extreme risk as I had zero visibility of blind spots and received no audible warnings. The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) was also recorded as "UNAVAILABLE," failing to prevent the collision. The problem is scientifically confirmed by the vehicle's internal diagnostic logs, which I have retrieved and am ready to provide for inspection. The accident has been reported to the local police and Progressive Insurance. I am currently coordinating with Tesla Service for a formal inspection of these software and hardware defects.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The new tesla update forces me to interact with the touch screen in order to operate my vehicle after self driving is disabled. There is no way to dismiss or disable this screen in the new update and no way for me to roll my vehicle back to the old software. After disengaging self driving a forced selector box forces you to make one of 4 choices in order to see your screen/navigation and perform other features in the car such as adjusting the windshield wipers. There is no way to disable this screen, it pops up every single time Full Self Driving is disengaged and there is no way to disable it. I believe this actively violates california law by requiring me to interact with the touch screen while actively controlling the vehicle on manual mode. I tried clicking elsewhere on the screen but yuo are forced to select one of the four options presented
