FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
I continue to get completely FALSE forward collision warnings. Part of this is because my front camera housing keeps fogging up and over the past 529 weeks I’ve gotten a half dozen false FCWs. When these faulty alerts occur, a loud audible beeping is heard and red alerts are displayed on the screen. These faulty alerts are dangerous distractions, causing panic, fear, and uncertainty in the driver, causing them to take their attention off of the road while they assess what just occurred. This is a critical flaw in the functionality of Tesla vehicles that the company has refused to address. This also makes me insurance rate spike way higher and I’m getting charged extra for this.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
Tesla has told me the AP4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start on 1/12, and I scheduled the earliest appointment available for 1/30. They did not offer me a rental or any assistance during this time, and I need my vehicle to commute to work and conduct other essential activities. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. This issue impacts: backup camera, emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, Vehicles built in GPS to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously, and i have received no reparations for it.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
Back in late November 2024, Tesla pushed an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to my 2024 Tesla Model Y. Immediately after pushing this OTA, all of my car's cameras stopped working (INCLUDING my rear or "backup" camera). This is in violation of federal law as all new vehicles are required to have a backup camera. Additional safety-critical items were also impacted: the rear-view and both of the side mirrors remain tinted to the darkest level, reducing my visibility. The side mirrors are also tilted in the "downward" position, making lane changes incredibly difficult. Since the front-facing and side-facing cameras do not work the vehicle's forward and side collision detection systems are inoperable. The vehicle suffers from additional failures (GPS navigation, Maps, Autopilot, among many others). I have presented these issues to Tesla and they have continously pushed out my repair date. I have also asked for a loaner vehicle due to the failure of the car's safety systems (some of which are federally mandated!!). Tesla has ignored my pleas for a loaner vehicle and has also remained silent when I have repeatedly asked to return the vehicle under Washington State lemon laws. My safety and the safety of others have been put at grave risk due to the backup camera and collision detection cameras not working. Tesla has NOT inspected the vehicle as they continuously push my service date further out. No obvious warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms appear. The user doesn't know these federally-mandated safety features are inoperable until they put the car in "reverse" or attempt a lane change.
Corrective Action:
Back in late November 2024, Tesla pushed an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to my 2024 Tesla Model Y. Immediately after pushing this OTA, all of my car's cameras stopped working (INCLUDING my rear or "backup" camera). This is in violation of federal law as all new vehicles are required to have a backup camera. Additional safety-critical items were also impacted: the rear-view and both of the side mirrors remain tinted to the darkest level, reducing my visibility.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Description for NHTSA Report: I am reporting a significant safety concern with the new Teslas (starting with the 2024 models) that do not have a traditional physical horn. Instead, the horn sound is generated through the car’s external speakers. This design poses a severe safety risk, especially in rainy conditions or when the speakers are wet, as the horn becomes inaudible or significantly less effective. Additionally, the volume of the speaker-generated horn is not comparable to the loudness of traditional horns, making it insufficient for alerting other drivers and pedestrians in emergencies. This lack of an actual horn is extremely dangerous and has already led to situations where the horn was not effective. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue as it compromises vehicle safety.

Potential Consequences:
Tesla has told me the AP4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start right around [XXX]. I scheduled the soonest appointment available for 12/30 however Tesla contacted me and moved my appointment because they stated that the part was unavailable at this time and should be delivered by 01/9/25 but now it has been pushed back to 1/20/25. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new '24 Tesla. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. This issue impacts: emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, Vehicles built in GPS to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously... Tesla has not seemed to publicly acknowledge the issue yet either.
