UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

My child received second degree burns from playing the sky force reloaded game on the front display screen. See attached picture taking screen temperature measurements where it exceeds 125 degrees. This is when the truck is not in direct sunlight with the air conditioning running, it appears that the CPU dissipates heat through the screen directly which is not conducive to games that require a kid to keep his fingers on the screen. This is a safety risk that should be re-engineered. We noticed that it does not occur with all games, only with those that require a lot of processing power.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

This is a supplemental update to Complaint #11656525 regarding NHTSA Recall 25V170 for my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (VIN: [XXX] ). On [XXX], Tesla returned my vehicle after performing the recall repair. However, the results are visibly flawed on both sides of the vehicle. One side of the cant rail panel overlaps and is misaligned, while the opposite side is spaced too far apart, leaving a visible gap. The right-side gasket was not seated and required me to manually push it back into place. When I raised concerns, Tesla acknowledged that the misalignment exceeds their own internal tolerance threshold, and I was told that it was due to engineering limitations with the replacement parts. They also indicated I may need to return for new parts once a proper fix is available — implying the current repair may not be final or sufficient. This leaves me driving a vehicle that, in my view, remains structurally compromised, potentially vulnerable to panel instability, water intrusion, or corrosion — especially given Colorado’s weather and road conditions. The original recall involved panels detaching while driving. This level of misfitment does not inspire confidence in the safety or durability of the so-called remedy. Wait to schedule another appointment for another reinstall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I raised concerns, Tesla acknowledged that the misalignment exceeds their own internal tolerance threshold, and I was told that it was due to engineering limitations with the replacement parts. They also indicated I may need to return for new parts once a proper fix is available — implying the current repair may not be final or sufficient. This leaves me driving a vehicle that, in my view, remains structurally compromised, potentially vulnerable to panel instability, water intrusion, or corrosion — especially given Colorado’s weather and road conditions. The original recall involved panels detaching while driving. This level of misfitment does not inspire confidence in the safety or durability of the so-called remedy. Wait to schedule another appointment for another reinstall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

NHTSA Safety Complaint – Recall 25V170 (Tesla Cybertruck 2024) Vehicle Details: •Make/Model/Year: Tesla Cybertruck 2024 •VIN: [XXX] •Recall Number: 25V170 •Recall Notification Date: March 18, 2025 Issue Summary: I am filing this complaint due to Tesla’s failure to provide a timely remedy for an open safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number 25V170) affecting my 2024 Cybertruck. I was notified of the recall on March 18, 2025, and I have since attempted to schedule service appointments to address the issue. Service Attempts: I scheduled appointments with Tesla on the following dates: •April 4, 2025 •April 29, 2025 •May 7, 2025 Each appointment was canceled by Tesla, citing that the recall remedy was not yet available. When I inquired further, Tesla customer service was unable to provide a timeline for when a remedy would become available. Impact: I am currently out of the country for work until mid-August and have been listing my Cybertruck on the Turo car-sharing platform to cover its monthly payments. Due to this recall and Tesla’s inability to resolve it, Turo has unlisted the vehicle, citing the recall as a safety hazard. As a result, the vehicle is now sitting idle, generating no income, while I continue to make monthly payments on it. This has caused financial hardship due to the loss of expected income. Conclusion: It has now been over seven weeks since the recall was issued, and no remedy has been offered. I believe this delay is unreasonable and request that NHTSA investigate Tesla’s handling of Recall 25V170 and require the manufacturer to provide a timely remedy. Sincerely, INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Front drivers seat moves under hard turning. Clicking noises and the feeling that the seat is either shifted left or right depending on direction of last sharp turn. Tesla has admitted it’s a design defect after 4th attempt to fix. 2 different technicians test drove the vehicle and confirmed the issue; online Cybertruck forums discuss the problem as well. Problem apparent immediately after purchase. I’m concerned that the sear will not hold up as designed in an accident

Potential Consequences:

I am reporting a safety defect on my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck related to Recall 25V170 (cant rail panel detachment hazard). Tesla has confirmed in writing that no remedy is available for my VIN, and they canceled my scheduled service appointment due to this. I explicitly requested that my appointment not be canceled because I felt unsafe driving the vehicle. I also disclosed my safety concerns to Tesla, explaining that this is my primary mode of transportation. Despite my follow-ups, Tesla provided no timeline for repair, leaving me without a safe vehicle. This recall involves a structural panel that may detach while driving, creating a serious road hazard and risk of injury to me and others. Tesla’s inability to fix or address this defect in a timely manner violates federal recall law (49 U.S.C. § 30120(c)). I request that NHTSA investigate this issue and ensure Tesla provides a timely remedy or refund.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR

Potential Consequences:

At highway speeds (typically between 70–80 mph), the driver’s side door of my Tesla Cybertruck begins to visibly vibrate and emit wind noise. The vibration is strong enough that I can see the door flexing from inside the cabin. It is not subtle — it shakes to the point that I’ve become genuinely concerned for my safety. At times, it feels unstable enough that I worry the door could detach, which could lead to a serious accident or even death. It is scary, and no vehicle should behave this way at normal highway speeds. I have returned to the Tesla service center seven times for this issue. During my most recent visit, a technician was finally able to reproduce and confirm the problem. I greatly appreciate that the local manager is now taking it seriously, but up until this point, I’ve repeatedly been told “it’s normal,” which it absolutely is not. From what I’ve gathered online, many other Cybertruck owners have reported similar experiences. Some mention a service bulletin and a bracket fix, but I have not received a definitive solution despite the repeated visits. No warning lights or system messages appear when this happens, and the issue only occurs at high speeds. This vehicle has been inspected numerous times by Tesla technicians, but the vibration remains unresolved. I’m reporting this because I believe it reflects a design or manufacturing defect, and I’m deeply concerned about the safety implications if this issue is not addressed.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

While driving with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system engaged, my vehicle struck two standard traffic cones in a clearly marked construction zone. The system failed to detect the cones or make any evasive action. I have video evidence of the incident. The situation was extremely dangerous. The cones could easily have been construction workers, pedestrians, or something more severe. I hesitated to intervene because it happened in a split second, and I was trusting the system to respond — which it completely failed to do. In that moment, I was also faced with a difficult choice: swerve and potentially cause a more serious accident, or trust that FSD would navigate correctly. It didn’t. The impact caused damage to my vehicle. When I brought it to Tesla, the technician dismissed my concern, laughed, and sarcastically told me, “There’s no way we’re paying for it.” He said it was my responsibility to avoid the cones — even while FSD was fully engaged. That kind of response is unacceptable, especially when Tesla markets this system as being capable of handling real-world driving environments like construction zones. This incident shows a significant failure in Tesla’s FSD recognition and decision-making systems. There were no warnings or alerts prior to the impact. The event raises major safety concerns, not only for the driver but for anyone on or near the road. I’m reporting this because I believe Tesla's current version of FSD has critical deficiencies that could lead to injury or worse. The system should never ignore basic road hazards like cones, and the company's dismissive response after the fact is alarming.
