LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
Tesla’s “Autosteer” function inexplicably and suddenly shifted lanes and sideswiped the other car that was passing me on the right. This defect of the “autosteer” function took control of the steering of the car, even with my two hands on the wheel. I do not know why the Tesla suddenly shifted in the intersection or, more importantly, why it did not detect the other car. I did see the other car approaching before the Tesla swerved into it. I wanted to remain in the left lane because it was the correct and safest thing to do. There were no obstacles ahead of me, and the left lane continued normally.

Hello, My name is [XXX] and I had the 2022 Tesla Model Y performance. I had an accident on [XXX]. Car just took control itself, we hit the tree.

Both of us were unconscious, by the time I got awake, the car was in flames, my friend was still unconscious but then he got awake after I tried with the local neighbor to pull him out from the car. Unfortunately my friend passed away after an accident in 5 hours. I had autosteer assistance on my car as a subscription. Plus my car had a problem with the side cameras, from time to time it was giving me errors - Door Pillar error message. Cops were trying to get information from the car, but according to Tesla representative my car was out of network from June 30, 2022. And I never got any notifications that my car is out of network. I have a case against me VS State of New Jersey, the prosecutor's office charged me with vehicle manslaughter, at the time of accident i gave a statement to the police officer, in December 12, 2023 it was Nationwide recall on Tesla cars, and this recall it was exactly for the same problem what I described to the police officer at the time of accident, so my problem is, I can't retrieve any information from Tesla regarding what happened at the time of accident, DUE TO TESLA had my car out of network for 25 days prior.

I have a case against me VS State of New Jersey, the prosecutor's office charged me with vehicle manslaughter, at the time of accident i gave a statement to the police officer, in December 12, 2023 it was Nationwide recall on Tesla cars, and this recall it was exactly for the same problem what I described to the police officer at the time of accident, so my problem is, I can't retrieve any information from Tesla regarding what happened at the time of accident, DUE TO TESLA had my car out of network for 25 days prior. I can't prove my innocence because of that I'm facing serious charges right now.

Potential Consequences:
On Friday 10/11 at 10:45 a.m I was in traffic on Day Street in Moreno Valley, California. This was the third time I experienced a sudden unintended acceleration with my Tesla. I would have hit the car in front of me, but I was able to swerve into an island on my left to avoid the car. The car went over the curve and stopped. I am unsure what happened but after my prior experiences, I knew how to react. Had I not reacted swiftly, I would have hit the car in front of me. There were no warning messages. I have an appointment with Tesla on Wed 10/26. When this happened the first time, they claimed there was nothing wrong with the car, but I think they are not looking hard enough. I am aware of a voltage problem that other Tesla owners have experienced that can lead to sudden unintended acceleration.

They advised they would not cover suspension because it’s a wear item and required me to pay for a suspension alignment which they did and I question the print out on the alignment showing the left front was not in factory specifications, they said it’s within their parameters and they can’t adjust it so I drove the vehicle and came back to have them put new tires on because of the worn inside edge again I question the suspension they said parameters of not affecting the vehicle even though based on specs of the alignment sheet was not meeting The numbers specified by the system again would not do anything to dress. It said it’s not adjustable and it will not affect my tires. I drove the vehicle. Had to replace a new set of tires a year later for the same issue requested them to fix the alignment and they provided me a receipt showing that the suspension is not adjustable so there is an issue with the suspension which causes the tire wear out which can cause it to blow out if I continue to drive it without constantly buying tires .

No other car I have have had any flat tires till date on the same routes in past 10 years. Tesla vehicles are heavy and they make tires prone to this posing a safety hazard. Tesla should either publicly announce this or give some solution since if known no one would want to take this vehicle with this kind of risk. I have asked tesla technicians and it seems it does not matter what company's tire it is.

Every trip has become scary because one or the other tire turns flat right on busy highways with my little kids in it. I have had one replacement and two repairs on the only long trips I made. No other car I have have had any flat tires till date on the same routes in past 10 years. Tesla vehicles are heavy and they make tires prone to this posing a safety hazard. Tesla should either publicly announce this or give some solution since if known no one would want to take this vehicle with this kind of risk. I have asked tesla technicians and it seems it does not matter what company's tire it is.
