|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 2023 | SEATS | Driver seat constantly moving forward and will not move or stay backwards. Every 20-30 seconds the seat will move/adjust on its own and we cannot move the seat back. The seat moving on its own and not allowing us to move it back to normal or regular driving position leaves us in an unsafe position putting our chest right up to the steering wheel because it keeps pushing the seat forward. There were no accidents that resulted from this thankfully, no message or warning lights or lamps. Just happened randomly out of no where and will not go back to normal driving position. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Repeated phantom braking when using adaptive cruise control. This happened at least 10 times in one day and is a safety issue. Most recent software update seems to have made this problem worse not better. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 2022 TESLA MODEL Y- Consumer sent in a copy of settle request sent originally to Tesla Corp. and a copy of proposed complaint document. Short summary of settlement doc is as followed: "To Whom it May Concern, Please regard this as my last and final attempt to resolve our disputes. I had previously directed Counsel to transmit a letter to you on January 6, 2023. That letter indicated my Revocation of Acceptance pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code §2608 and notice of defect under the Lemon Law. You have neither responded or taken any action to investigate or make me whole, despite the vehicle having less than 3,000 miles on it, and thus being well within the scope of your warranty. As you are aware, the vehicle you sold me contains material manufacturing design and marketing defects, which I summarize here and in the attached proposed complaint, as follows: -The Vehicle has been contaminated with dangerous VOCs. Independent environmental testing has detected the presence of methl ethly ketone (72 ppbv), ethyl acetate (120 ppbv) and Methyl methacrylate (140 ppbv). This renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. These chemicals are industrial adhesives and solvents used in the manufacture of Tesla's products, and their use has been experimentally tested with fast charging lithium ion cells, specifically, the product I purchased. -The Vehicle does not meet purported manufacturer charging specifications as sold. The vehicle I purchased takes 48 hours to charge - far longer than the normal time represented to me both in terms of materials you posted online in addition to your sales staff. Moreover, the driving range is far shorter than what you purported it to be when the vehicle is sold. -The Software is defective. It freezes. It prevents me from actually shutting the car off. -The "Hands Free" feature is inherently dangerous. This feature does not truly let you drive "hands free". The driver can't merely touch the wheel. One has to jerk the wheel with sudden motion, and if one doesn't the car repeatedly beeps - startling both passengers and other motorists in a manner that would tend to cause a traffic accident. It is my obligation as a prospective Plaintiff to mitigate my damages. As such, I have not been driving the vehicle, but rather, I wish to return it to you for a full refund of all money and interest paid. and a complete and total rescission of my purchase contract from day one. Absent your acceptance of this resolution, I will have to file some prospective version of the attached proposed complaint and pursue all remedy available to me under the law, within thirty (30) days of this letter. Please advise as to whether you will be accepting a return of the vehicle and refunding all of my money, or whether I need to pursue a civil action returnable to New London Superior Court." | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | PHANTOM BRAKING issue at highway speeds with autopilot engaged. The car will harshly start braking suddenly on highway to a near complete stop. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The driver seat's manual door opening latch does not open the door. That means in case of battery failure, fire or accident ( when the car 's battery is not working) driver cannot get out of the car from driver's seat. And from the design there is no manual door opening function in the back seats. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My wife and I were on the highway 44 in the model Y travelling at around 79 miles an hour. There was no other vehicles close to us or in front of us. This was about 1:30 PM and there was no clouds in the sky. The autopilot had been engaged and for no reason, the car started to emergency brake. This was very scary since it was very abrupt and if another vehicle would have been following too close we would have been hit from behind causing damage and or causing death to us both. The vehicle has done this numerous times since we have owned it. It was reported to Tesla and I had a service scheduled to have them look at it. They claimed they looked at the logs and did not see any issues, which I find hard to believe, I asked for the logs and they refused to provide them to me. They claimed I would not understand them, although I explained that I am engineer and I have 25 years of experience with such things. Trust me, I can read a safety log! They claim they will fix with a software update, but when asked for an ECD or ETA they refused to give me that information. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I have the latest software for FSD, 2023.7.20. I was driving North on 71 in Ohio, there are three lanes of traffic. I was in the right hand lane at the speed limit under FSD. There were no cars in front of me and no objects on the roadside. There were cars in front of me in the center and left hand lane. Suddenly the brakes were applied very hard, fortunately the SUV that was behind me was able to slow and move to the middle lane. The speed went from 70 to about 35. My wife, as the sole passenger will never ride in the car again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | As I was walking up to my Tesla Model Y I used the tesla app on my phone to open my read hatch. The door opened as I approached, when I got to the car, Some how the rear hatch closed without touching the car button or the app, striking me on the head hard, causing a contusion to the top of my head. I have video from the car showing the incident, but can not upload below due to file type restriction | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The contact rented from Turo a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at approximately 65-70 MPH in rainy weather, the contact's daughter released her foot from the accelerator pedal to decelerate; however, she lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle crashed into a guardrail and went into a ditch. The vehicle then inadvertently reversed onto the highway. The contact's daughter slammed her foot on the brake pedal, and the vehicle stopped immediately. No warning light was illuminated. No air bags were deployed. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter suffered body aches, and medical attention was received. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location. The contact was unaware if the vehicle was deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Yesterday I drove 1 shift on UberX in chill mode, very carefully and tried to save as much energy as possible. Here’s what happened. I left the house with 100% charged 274 miles range not 303 advertised I track everywhere I go with Everlance GPS. After a couple rides, I noticed the cars augmented reality for auto pilot wasn’t seeing the environment properly and like usual the safety features were disabled, but I am unable to record it responsibly while driving my passenger on UberX not Uber black. When I got to a red light with no passenger, I recorded on my iPhone the Tesla failing to see about 35 to 40 vehicles over the course of 45 seconds and also fails to see a black man walking slowly across the crosswalk just 2 feet in front of the car but it can see cars 100 feet away. Meaning there is an intentional Blindspot that would be in the collision warning zone that the car is purposely not seeing because the car is hacked. Directly after that I picked up a man from his house who also has a model Y and brought him to the airport. He’s an augmented reality engineer that looks familiar to me from Tesla. Turns out someone stole his brand new model Y from tampa Tesla, and brought it to a chop shop and went on a joyride, destroying the alignment, which he was given a large check for. He said Tesla was able to provide all the problems with his car with no issue. I told him all the problems with my car. Tesla has refused to even acknowledge after a dozen service appointment. Then I told him I have 100,000 GB of dash cam footage and secret recordings of the service manager telling me if I submit the footage to the FBI they would refuse service. Well, they already are refusing service. Also I drive a lot of federal agents and military personnel. When I got home, the car couldn’t account for 70 missing miles and it’s charging at one quarter speed. I reset the car three times. Now I’m trying to submit this on my computer, but the Internet cut out! BUSTED! Shut down Tesla! | Crash: No Fire: No Medical attention | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | A copy of this report is being submitted to the FBI, CIA, DOJ, my attorney and then I'm mailing it via USPS to my Attorney General [XXX] which responded to me about this car about a year ago saying she would investigate it. Yesterday my wife and I drove to Chevy and put a deposit on a new gasoline SUV. On the way back all the safety features disabled themselves and the car radio played "Break the Rules". Today I drove to Wawa to report my wife almost dying from being poisoned and on the way back the car in autopilot mode sped up towards an officer with his lights on and high visibility vest so I had to slam the brakes and move over at the last second and the Tesla didn't see the officer until he was 10 feet away and wrongly displayed the cops passenger door being open. I would NEVER drive towards an officer like that if I was in control of the car that's the faulty software. On my way back from Ford to the Mister Car Wash in Eustis to get the love bugs off the paint again I took the Tesla cam thumbdrive out, took out the micro sd from my dashcam, turned off my iPhone with the Tesla app on it and used autopilot to drive the scenic route to the carwash to avoid traffic. Then the car started playing the songs "Middle of the Ocean" which lyrics encourage you to drive your car into the ocean; then started playing "Swim Good" and then "Golddigger by Kanye West" the car disabled all its own safety features despite them still being turned on in the settings which would have allowed me to drive my Tesla off a CLIFF into LAKE EUSTIS just like that brain surgeon in California when his white Model Y drove him and his family off a cliff luckily they survived. I uploaded the video to my IG [XXX]which is currently banned for "using like increasing software" which is funny because I'm the only one that likes my posts but now I cant even like my own post. I have video evidence and screen recordings of everything I just said.

| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Went on a 3,000 miles road trip and recorded countless bugs and safety issues. To keep this short and sweet because I’m pretty sure I’ve already broken the world record for DOT reports on a car without any intervention here’s some bullet points. 1. Car is falling extremely short of claimed mileage range. 2. Car refuses to charge or charges slow. 3. GPS is constantly wrong and sending me down dirt roads and trying to put me miles out of my way by giving wrong directions on purpose. 4. Car cannot switch lanes in Autopilot despite perfect visibility during night and day. 5. Car keeps slamming on the brakes with people behind me or in my blind spot for no apparent reason. 6. Car keeps telling me that charging stations are offline or unavailable and when I pull up it’s a bunch of lies and there are open spots and the car charges. 7. Whenever I pull up to a charger it ALWAYS happens to be the highest energy cost of the day. 8. Car sends me to wrong charging locations despite me selecting certain charging stations manually. 9. Car keeps making an awful scratching sound when music is paused or song changed. 10. Car keeps banning me from full self driving because the autopilot isn’t working properly even though I disabled FSD. 11. Car is constantly putting off a ton of heat to the point it raises my garage to over 100F. 12. Cars overheat protection mode doesn’t work properly and never has. 13. Car summon can’t make it 4 feet without side swiping the car next to it in the parking lot. 14. Car fails to see all emergency vehicles with or without lights on like a ghost car that doesn’t exist. 15. AC is inaccurate and is either not reaching temp and the AC is roaring so loud I can’t hear anything but the air moving or is so cold myself and passengers start shivering. 16. Charging takes twice as long as advertised and never charges advertised speed like 150-250kwh 17. Full self driving can’t drive me more than 2 minutes without trying to kill me so I disabled it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | Driving in Autopilot, the vehicle steered itself to the left into a barrier with no warning. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | No manual door latch present on rear passenger doors. In event of emergency not able to open the rear doors manually. Manual safety cord located under sealed compartment, inaccessible without small screwdriver or special tool. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Drove to the carwash today a couple miles away to see if its just emergency vehicles the car doesn't see but its not seeing any vehicles in the right lane or passenger side of the car until they are about 150ft ahead of me. To clarify the cars vision system is NOT seeing ANY emergency vehicles (driver side, passenger side, ahead, behind, moving away, moving towards) like they don't even exist (invisible) and ALSO not seeing ANY vehicles approaching from the passenger side blind spot. Switched my IG to private, was tired of all the hecklers and people reporting me and NONE of the government agencies doing ANY of their responsibilities except trying to screw me over on made up charges LOL. I'll DM it to you on the NHTSA IG page. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving on the highway with autopilot activated. There were no cars in front, beside or behind me. A car did come up behind me at a fast speed. My car suddenly started to brake (phantom braking). The car coming up behind me sped around me. There was no reason for the car to brake like that. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Tesla took my car in for service again, fixed nothing again. This time they messed up my dashcam even though it is clearly marked with bright red NOTICE stickers on both sides of the car that consent for audio and video recording is given by entering vehicle that is owned by me (not a lease). Car wouldn't charge yesterday, then I do the newest software update and when I get 3 miles down the street from my house I yield for an EMS EMT with siren and lights on in the middle of the day with perfect visibility and big surprise the car doesn't even register that I've not only left the lanes without lane keeping assistance but it also doesnt see the emergency vehicle so I have disabled FSD and am refusing to use AP because this is a death trap. When I complained to the FBI about it they tried to have the local PD basically SWAT my house at 4am and wake up my whole family. My wife and I are both FBI witnesses. I also received a letter from the IRS claiming they changed my taxes from 2020 (filed by my accountant) claiming that I owe $132,021 (On less than $800 in gains) by next month or they will charge me $20,000 a month interest. Today I received a notice from my insurance company of 1 year claiming they are canceling my coverage because I "drive UBER Black" which isn't true I never have because the Orlando PD wouldn't approve me to because the insurance agent lied about the coverage because Ana (Moore resources Insurance) and Mercury Insurance; was too drunk on New Years Day and has caused me to lose $30,000+ in lost revenue because she ruined my 4 month wait for UBER black approval which has completely destroyed my financial ability to provide for my family. I received a call from a DOT agent a couple weeks ago from Washington DC but the call was dropped so he called me back on a cell and we haven't been able to contact each other since. I am REALLY in fear for my life. I am an FBI whistleblower and POTUS is retaliating against me and anyone who helps us. SOS SEND HELP! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Made it less than a mile from my house this time when the Tesla couldn't see the FHP (Florida Highway Patrol) with lights on and perfect visibility. The car was updated yesterday but it has NEVER actually worked as advertised and the more I complain the more everywhere I go gets hacked. My wife Red Cross servers, hacked. My medical files, hacked. The pizza shop I was driving to, hacked, my grill, hacked, my alarm system, hacked. The lawn equipment store, hacked. My iPhone, hacked. My Tesla, Hacked. My insurance, hacked. My Uber, hacked. My Lyft, hacked. I am currently obtaining my Security+ cybersecurity certification so I can keep my family ALIVE. I am failing and being SMOTHERED! Tesla REFUSES to cooperate despite my countless attempts to be civil, involve the FBI, Local Sheriff, Local PD, IRS, CISA, my State Attorney [XXX] and Governor [XXX] and even the AIRFORCE with .mil emails are having trouble contacting me/my family. I am a high profile witness that DEMANDS WITNESS PROTECTION. I am a witness against [XXX] Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Local PD and Sheriff offices, the DOJ, the FBI, the USDA, UBER, Lyft and of course Tesla and MANY more. They want me and my family DEAD! They will stop at NOTHING! IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH! HUGE COVERUP! WITNESS INTIMIDATION! VIOLATION OF HEAD OF STATE! RACKETEERING! I AM NOT SUICIDAL! I POSE NO HARM TO ANYONE! I applied to GS13 TS clearance under Spaceforce DoD was interviewed and told I was one of the final selections and ever since Biden took office I have been in a Hunger Games type survival nightmare where I am continually hacked, poisoned, banned and left for dead. Not even your own DOT agent has called me back in weeks. If you are being targeted like me then contact the CIA and Sokolove Law for Tesla class action false advertising.

| May 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving between Lincoln Nebraska and Denver using the driver assist system in my Tesla the car braked for no apparent reason. This occurred 3 times in my 8 hour drive. I would be driving at 80 miles an hour with nothing around on a sunny day and all of a sudden the vehicle would hard brake. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Adaptive cruise control with Auto Steer will without warning or noticable reason suddenly decelerate the vehicle. At highway speeds from 70 to sudden deceleration to 30 mph if the accelerator pedal isn't pushed immediately when it slows without warning. Sometimes with vehicles behind. There has been some close calls but no accidents. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | When traveling on cruise control the car will suddenly break in the middle of the road even though there are no vehicles, pedestrians, or threats. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Hello, me again. Been having ALOT of trouble with voice text when trying to respond to my wife at the stop light. I started telling her about how a white Cadillac escalade almost crashed into me and all the safety features 'randomly' disabled themselves while driving and I'm late because I tried to keep eyes on the car while the local PD dispatched and had to drive further than I intended but I eventually gave up after he got so far ahead after weaving thru traffic like he's playing grand theft auto. So the voice text has been doing this really 'cool' feature where I say some stuff that's incriminating about tesla or the FBI and then it just doesn't type it at all or says some stuff I never actually said that usually sounds incriminating like this one time I tried to voice text my wife that some guy tried to crash into me and then sped away at 100mph plus and later I caught up to him because he crashed at a toll in the rain; the car said I was racing a guy and I crashed! Then my wife got all freaked out and called me and I explained that I'm totally fine and wasn't racing him he raced PAST me. This car is scary as hell, it should have its own horror movie. Oh yea I just got a letter from the IRS for the third time saying they changed my 2020 tax returns and I owe $138,021 in back taxes by next month or I'll get $20,000 a month in late fees but I only made $729 that year and already paid my taxes thru my accountant. FBI tried to raid my house 2 nights ago AGAIN using localPD. All after Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and they claimed nothing is wrong with my car and tampered with my evidence camera despite them consenting to being recorded by entering my vehicle. Car is living in the garage now until DOT Agent finishes setting up our meeting because I really don't want to die that would suck. Here's a link to my shadow banned Instagram that has hundreds of videos of my car trying to kill me. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsxNKLNRh-3/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Hello it's me for the 500th time. I was sitting at a light when a new song came on that's actually a movie clip from Pulp Fiction directed by [XXX] about hitmen that kill people that speak out, like whistleblowers; for their boss. So I'm sitting at the light and the cars behind me are all glitching between 3 lanes but nobody is moving and my volume is up and it starts 'yelling' "STORING DEAD [XXX] AINT MY [XXX] BUSINESS!". This was soon after almost being ran off the road by a white Cadillac escalade that I called in and reported to the local PD. I was rear ended by a white Cadillac escalade in 2019, I almost died and received death threats while leaving a competitors business. and I'm permanently partially handicapped at 31 years old. About 1 mile down the road my car started encountering 'ghost cars' that show up on the GUI of the screen but aren't actually there in real life lol. Just so I'm clear the car is basically threatening me after Tesla says there's nothing wrong with it so I disabled my $12,000 FSD and will be keeping this car in the garage from now on. Here's the link to my shadow banned Instagram that holds all the videos of this car trying to kill me because the government wants to cover it up. The FBI actually tried to SWAT me in the middle of the night for the second time in 3 years 2 nights ago but luckily the Sargent was cool and a desert storm veteran so he knows what's up. Truly terrifying! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsxNKLNRh-3/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Tesla refused my Lemon Law surrender and claims there's nothing wrong with the car once again, big surprise! They messed up my dashcam during fake service regardless of legally consenting to being video and audio recorded (VERY clear NOTICE stickers on the doors) when entering the vehicle which I own; it is NOT leased. Consent is important, without consent things become crimes. Like if a flight attendant says no to sex with her boss Elon you cant just rape her and then offer her a horse after and get away with it. Anyways the automatic indicators that Elon suggested everyone try on Twitter the other night doesn't actually work for automatically turning on or off with or without AP and FSD. I decided to turn off my FSD that I paid $12,000 because its a death trap. Here's a video since Tesla says I'm imagining it and I must be schizophrenic or something but this is exactly why I record everything and trust nobody. The link probably doesn't work because the government is trying to silence me in this huge coverup. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsxNyMLsFkK/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | We have 2 drivers in the family. Using the Tesla app, one individual accidentally opened the trunk of the car while the other individual was driving that car several miles away. The car was in "drive", not in "park". Luckily the car was going at a slow speed so there was no accident. But the open trunk blocks the view out the rear view mirror. And the vehicle and its contents are not secure when it is driving in this mode (it is open to the road in the rear of the car as it is a hatchback-style car). This has happened twice in the last 3 months, the most recent on May 11, 2023. The confusion that led to both accidental openings of the trunk is that the family has 2 Teslas, so the individual operating the app meant to open the trunk on the other car that he was about to drive. It is an easy mistake to make when a family has multiple Teslas set up in their app. Another disturbing part of the event was that in both cases, the driver had no way to close the trunk from within the car unless the car was stopped and then placed in park. The Tesla trunk can only be opened and closed by the driver inside the car when it is in park. But the Tesla app can open and close the trunk when it is in park or drive. The car should only allow the trunk to open when it is in park, even if the app requests it to open. Upon reporting this to Tesla on May 25, the service team ran diagnostics on the car and said that there were no issues with the car. And then the issue was passed on to engineering to look at. Tesla did not report to me whether this was an intended use of the Tesla app or if there was a problem with my specific car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
