SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

This car is three months old. Driving near my home on a four-lane divided road with 55MPH speed limit. While having either cruise or auto-steer enabled and using cruise control only, experiencing ongoing instances—during every drive—of unexpected and unexplained hard, sudden braking, reducing vehicle speed dramatically (multiples of 10MPH in less than five seconds). Each time, there has been very light traffic, and there is nothing I can see on the road that could explain the reason for the braking, hence the unexpected nature. The problem could easily cause a rear-end collision soon if another car is following closely, and I’m not able to correct and accelerate fast enough. Vehicle is very clean all around, including camera locations, and the weather is perfectly sunny and temperate each day. I do not recall this event happening while driving at night in my semi-rural area. I have not yet reported the problem to Tesla, so they have not inspected or attempted service on the vehicle.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

Potential Consequences:

I bought a tesla model Y 2025 and got my car delivered on [XXX] I barely drove it and within a week, I noticed all sensors stopped working (ALL cameras and camera-related functions stopped working, including the legally mandatory backup camera for new cars, GPS has stopped working, making the premium connectivity package I paid not usable). Not only was I not able to use the self driving capability, which I paid $8000 for, but also the car lacked the most basic safety features. I contacted Tesla service center, they refused to admit that the sensor malfunction is a security concern, and still put me on an appointment three weeks later (dec 13). After the first appointment, they did not fix the problem at all and noted it was a major computer issue, as reported by several media outlets [XXX] ). So my brand new car has a defective core component upon delivery. I was scheduled to meet them after they get the computer part on Dec 27. The appointment was rescheduled to Jan 14 again for missing parts. During the process, I found some weird tricks online and semi-fixed my car’s navigation but the sensor issues still exist. And on Jan 14 again, they claimed the computer part was missing again and I had to wait until that upcoming weekend to fix it. To summarize the situation: I was given a car that is defective upon delivery on its most important core component for 2.5 months, when the car lacks even the basic legally required safety features, as well as premium features that I already paid off! During the process, I also spent a lot of time dealing with their customer service, and rescheduled appointments (I even had to drive to their service center several times to get a loaner and had to return the loaner early before they did not have parts to fix my car). Their negligence on safety, and promised features is simply astonishing and unacceptable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Their negligence on safety, and promised features is simply astonishing and unacceptable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Additional Notes:

I bought a tesla model Y 2025 and got my car delivered on [XXX] I barely drove it and within a week, I noticed all sensors stopped working (ALL cameras and camera-related functions stopped working, including the legally mandatory backup camera for new cars, GPS has stopped working, making the premium connectivity package I paid not usable). Not only was I not able to use the self driving capability, which I paid $8000 for, but also the car lacked the most basic safety features. I contacted Tesla service center, they refused to admit that the sensor malfunction is a security concern, and still put me on an appointment three weeks later (dec 13). After the first appointment, they did not fix the problem at all and noted it was a major computer issue, as reported by several media outlets [XXX] ). So my brand new car has a defective core component upon delivery. I was scheduled to meet them after they get the computer part on Dec 27. The appointment was rescheduled to Jan 14 again for missing parts. During the process, I found some weird tricks online and semi-fixed my car’s navigation but the sensor issues still exist. And on Jan 14 again, they claimed the computer part was missing again and I had to wait until that upcoming weekend to fix it. To summarize the situation: I was given a car that is defective upon delivery on its most important core component for 2.5 months, when the car lacks even the basic legally required safety features, as well as premium features that I already paid off! During the process, I also spent a lot of time dealing with their customer service, and rescheduled appointments (I even had to drive to their service center several times to get a loaner and had to return the loaner early before they did not have parts to fix my car). Their negligence on safety, and promised features is simply astonishing and unacceptable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

While driving towards our friends place, an alert came up saying "Steering Assist reduced" with error code GTW_w075. The car was running at about 60 to 65 mph and at that speed l, we didn't notice much issue in handling the car. When we were leaving for home, the alert was still active and at that time, we realized that the steering was extremely difficult to use. Herculean effort was required to turn the car left or right and we decided it was unsafe to drive. I then researched this alert and lots of other drivers had observed this error on their 2023 or older model 3 or Yes. Mine is 2025 and not even 20 days old since I took delivery. The car had to be towed to the nearest service center.

This is especially dangerous when backing out into the garage. I almost had 2 near misses when the mirrors which I was using to reverse the car suddenly folded in the middle of the maneuver. Ideally the mirror should only fold if the car is in park or at least not traveling in reverse
