2024 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Dec-19, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, and LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

The car lost all adas functions, and gps on the onboard navigation system. In addition. It can't use regular cruise control and it does not have rear view mirror blind spot warning capability any more. This all happened when the car attempted to install the "holiday" updated from tesla automatically around 11/29/24.

2023 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Dec-28, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Heads do not work properly. Dark spots appear during night time driving. While driving during night you can see portions of the left side of the road. This car was bought brand new and i have made two appointments to correct this problem. But was told it was normal. Can’t see a portion of the road so this is definitely not normal.

2024 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Dec-12, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

After a software update pushed by tesla, the ap4 computer in my 2024 tesla model y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all safety systems controlled by this computer. The following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: 1. Cruise control (adaptive or otherwise) 2. Forward collision warning 3. Lane departure warning 4. Lane keeping assistance 5. Blind spot warning 6. Parking collision warning 7. Full self-driving and auto park features 8. Cameras required for autopilot functionality 9. Auto headlight dim / auto wiper system 10. Back up camera rendered inoperable additionally, because the gps system has failed, the vehicle’s navigation system is inoperable. This impacts tesla’s unique route planning feature that sets up supercharger stops during long journeys. Without a functioning navigation system, i cannot properly plan my travel or locate charging stations, which severely affects the usability of the vehicle. This system also initiates preconditioning of the battery (heats it up to be able to charge), so super charging is extremely slow without the gps system availability. Safety concerns: the failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Rear visibility in the car is very limited without the federally required backup camera. Incident details: • the issue occurred immediately following a software update. • tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • the failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the ap4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update.

2025 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Dec-15, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

All cameras and related functions stopped working, including back up camera. Gps is not working. Tesla pushed back my service appointment until 1/21/25. Safety is an issue now due to blindspots and they will not give me a loaner car. Tesla informed me the computer needs to be replaced. They reported this is wide spread and tesla is not sure why it happened. I was informed that even though my new appointment is 1/21 it is likely that it would be pushed back further. I have only had this car for 5 weeks. No warning lights came on prior to this happening.

2025 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Dec-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-20, 2024
  • Failed components: LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, VISIBILITY/WIPER, and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

Computer system failure causing all cameras to fail, mirrors to stay darkened even in daylight, navigation system not updating, collision and lane departure feature failure. Issues were reported to tesla and an ap 4 computer replacement were scheduled, however service has been delayed for several weeks ( now 9 jan 2025). The car does not feel sufficiently safe to drive with the impaired mirror visibility couples with the lack of any cameras or safety features working.

2017 Tesla MODEL X
  • Date of Incident: Dec-20, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-20, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and VISIBILITY/WIPER

The rear camera failed as i tried to reverse into a parking spot. The whole system froze up and took over 20+ second to finally load happened twice in one day

2024 Tesla MODEL Y
  • Date of Incident: Nov-30, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-20, 2024
  • Failed components: LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, and LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

My new 2024 model y tesla is having a computer failure - no navigation / gps (stuck at last address when issue occurred) and no cameras (including rear camera). With limited rear windshield visibility and no backup camera functionality, we've been put in dangerous situations. They keep pushing out the service dates waiting on new parts / computers. I found this article that details the widespread issue and parts shortage. Https://electrek. Co/2024/12/16/tesla-major-issue-self-driving-computer-inside-new-cars/
