Defect Description:
LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Potential Consequences:
After my 3rd trip to tesla service (required 1 month wait each time I've had this problem since the first week) I video and audio recorded the tesla service team dropping my car off in an overflow lot for 2 and a half days before unplugging my dashcam on the 3rd day. 8 hours later I'm at the dealership and they tell me and I quote "left turns isn't a feature of FSD, just try not to use it anymore. By the way, they unplugged your camera. We found nothing wrong with your car after reviewing one whole day of footage, your cars out front." Then I get to the car and plug my dashcam back in immediately and the master key for all the Teslas is in my car (last time the same manager left their phone in my car and harassed me for hours while I was driving). Then I return the key to the manager on video, leave the parking lot, set my home destination, turn on FSD (Full Self Driving) and less than one mile away at the first turn the FSD makes it drives into oncoming traffic. This is probably the tenth time it has happened and I drive my family and passengers in this car so having to constantly bring it in and be told it has no problems after 10 total days in the shop has opportunity cost me between $2,500-$5,000 in lost revenue plus the intentional emotional infliction by gaslighting me the customer for basically not just letting my car kill me and other innocent people who didn't opt into Beta. Elon wants a war with Apple about censorship whenever I post videos of my tesla driving into oncoming traffic on Twitter because Tesla wont fix it after months (or return my $12,000) it gets banned. Same company different boss, now they censor evidence of Teslas malfunctioning and say you're imagining it LOL. You want a war, fine. I have 5,000 gigabytes of dashcam footage with over 1,000 witnesses (passengers). Now they tell me they cant service my car without evidence being submitted but the app is blocking me from submitting photos and they deleted my job applications on Tesla OS.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While driving at freeway speeds, a vehicle cut me off. In order to avoid a collision, I pressed the brake pedal causing all brakes to lock up and the vehicle skidded. I felt the vehicle starting to hydroplane sideways over the dry surface and I heard the screech of the tires. I released the brake pedal, I felt the tires regain traction and I corrected the direction of travel. It was apparent that the ABS system did not function as intended. I contacted Tesla Service and they sent me a message stating that my vehicle needs to be repaired. I am still waiting for the estimate so I do not have specifics as to what needs to be repaired, but since they are having me take the vehicle to their shop, it appears that it can not be repaired over the air. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I've brought the car into the dealership 3 times and they swear they have gone over the whole car and there are no issues with the car but at the first stop light next to the dealership the car starts driving into oncoming traffic which I recorded on dashcam. The car keeps phantom braking (braking for no reason) swerving towards concrete barriers and brick walls, driving into oncoming traffic on roads its navigated before in the same and different conditions. Just yesterday the indicator noises stopped working so I was forced to reset the car while driving my whole family, this is very dangerous and far too common. I have been harassed by Tesla employees who refuse to find any solution. I have been requesting a refund for FSD since the week I bought the car. This is a huge scam and cover up and when you post videos of your car trying to kill you on twitter or IG (post Elon) they shadow ban you. It is against their agenda. Don't believe the lies this is like ENRON x 1,000. FTX is NOTHING compared to the theft and deciet happening at Tesla.

I have been harassed by Tesla employees who refuse to find any solution. I have been requesting a refund for FSD since the week I bought the car. This is a huge scam and cover up and when you post videos of your car trying to kill you on twitter or IG (post Elon) they shadow ban you. It is against their agenda. Don't believe the lies this is like ENRON x 1,000. FTX is NOTHING compared to the theft and deciet happening at Tesla.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I floored the accelerator, and heard a pop. The pedal then remained depressed about 50% of the pedal travel. I was able to drive the car normally, but only using about 50% of the pedal range to do so. I took it to Tesla for service and after diagnosis, had to replace the accelerator and brake pedal assembly. The mounting plate that held both pedals broke. They said it was impossible to break by stepping on either the brake or accelerator. An “outside force” must have caused the failure and they refused to cover the part and labor under warranty.

On 11/17/2022 about 6pm when I drive on highway I -5 from San Diego to irvine, I am driving in the middle of the lane, the car keeps on going to the left and almost hitting the wall when I was on the left lane. I moved to the third lane and the car tried to do the same thing. At one point I lost the control of the car and it suddenly changed to the lane on my left. Fortunately there is no car on my left at that time. I used basic cruise control at that time, not Auto pilot .I have lane departure avoidance on at that time, not sure what's going on. The girl I carpool with said the lanes displayed in the screen is very clear. After I got off the highway, we checked the front camera and it is clean. My husband turned off lane departure avoidance function and restarted the PC of Tesla. We drove in the highway again and Tesla behavior is normal.

SUSPENSION
Potential Consequences:
Went to get my state vehicle inspection and had heard a noise actually from the time I picked the car up new at dealer. The noise sounded like something rattling in the "frunk" down by front driver wheelwell. I thought nothing if it until the state inspector at the Tesla focused shop in Londonderry NH called me from waiting room and showed me on the lift what the noise was. He showed me what I now know is called a "jam nut" on the tie rod end of the front driver wheel. It was not even touching the actual tie rod end to hold it in place. I noticed after he tightened it the steering wheel became tighter slightly in a good way. The noise I heard was gone since picking the car up as well. This concerns me greatly. I am not sure if other nuts or bolts are correctly set on the suspension or even throughout the car as the robot or human device attaching bolts may have had a muscalibrated device and this likely is not limited to one nut on one vehicle unless it was simply gross human incompetence.

The front facing camera keeps rattling so I pulled the Teslacam footage and the camera is so blurry you can barely see anything so I bring it in for service and they say nothing is wrong.

I make a choice every day to get in a car I know is trying to kill me or not be able to feed my family. Tesla service manager Prince HARASSED me by calling 15+ times while I was at dinner with my 9 month pregnant wife and threatening me by telling me he's tracking my car to Publix and to my home. Wouldn't take the car out of service mode until I drove 45 minutes back to return his phone; I should have thrown it off a bridge! because he left his phone in my car with a 1 hour timer counting down.

I have brought the car into service 3 times now and Tesla each time says there is nothing wrong with the car despite 5,000 gigabits of my own dashcam footage showing the car driving me into oncoming traffic, swerving towards concrete barriers, not seeing 5 people in a cross walk when turning at 25 mph, randomly SLAMMING on the breaks and much more. The touchscreen will freeze leaving the driver with no turn signals, no speedometer etc. I feel like the car is possessed trying to kill me, I am a full time Uber driver. Tesla service manager tells me with a straight face "just don't use it." "just don't make any left turns". The front facing camera keeps rattling so I pulled the Teslacam footage and the camera is so blurry you can barely see anything so I bring it in for service and they say nothing is wrong. This is beyond dangerous this is a dereliction of duty that will result in lost lives, NHTSA you MUST intervene I have already alerted my Governor and State Attorney, they have verified they have received my testimony. I make a choice every day to get in a car I know is trying to kill me or not be able to feed my family. Tesla service manager Prince HARASSED me by calling 15+ times while I was at dinner with my 9 month pregnant wife and threatening me by telling me he's tracking my car to Publix and to my home. Wouldn't take the car out of service mode until I drove 45 minutes back to return his phone; I should have thrown it off a bridge! because he left his phone in my car with a 1 hour timer counting down. This is a cover-up please launch a REAL investigation Tesla is stealing billions Elon makes Enron look like a hill next to a mountain this just ain't right! Last time I checked 3 service trips without a solution qualifies the car as a Lemon and needs to have recalls.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on I-70 in Colorado, heading westbound. I had the vehicle in basic "cruise control" speed mode. No autosteer or anything like that. Our of the blue, the car jammed on the brakes on its own, as if it was about to hit something. However, there were no vehicles in the area. It was a significant reduction in speed. Probably from 65-35. Luckily, there wasn't anybody behind me. It was scary, to say the least. There were no warnings prior to the episode. I believe that this is referred to as "phantom brakes". THANK YOU!
