TESLA MODEL Y 2026 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
high
Tesla took off from a parking lot and was uncontrollable, went through the grass, crossed the street and construction before hitting the barricades and fell into a sewer as the road ended there. There were 2 passengers in the car and luckily both passengers came unharmed. But FSD needs to be investigated on why this happened.

TESLA MODEL Y 2026 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
high
7/17/26 about 8pm my Tesla Model Y backed into a wall under FSD (full self driving). The vehicle was placed into FSD to assist in backing the car from a narrow street into a garage space. Wall on one side and another SUV parked on the driver side. Driver was monitoring the vehicle maneuver forward and backward attempting to clear the wall so it can back into the space. The vehicle appeared to be close to the wall and I anticipated the vehicle to inch forward but instead the car went backwards into the wall and caused damage to my vehicle. The vehicle should have stopped and asked the driver to take over or alarms/chimes. The fsd system failed to recognize that the right rear would not clear the wall and still proceeded to reverse and cause damages

TESLA MODEL Y 2026 LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
low
My new 2026 Tesla model Y has a feature called lane departure assistance. This feature is constantly activated in the car. This feature is a terrible safety hazard and has made me almost crashed several times because it dictated a lane when there was no lane present and the car would veer violently in a direction to try to correct a possible lane departure. Clients contemporarily disengage this feature, but it continues to reactivate every time you enter the car this particular software needs to be looked at more in detail by Tesla because multiple of my family have the same car in our experiencing the same issues. I have reported this issue to Tesla but they are not willing to listen or modify this particular software. I need your help to make this feature safer for those purchasing this new model Y. Clients should have the right to be able to disengage this feature permanently to make the car drive, normally without having lane departure assistance. It should not be required to have this feature on all the time when you re-enter the car.

TESLA MODEL Y 2026 UNKNOWN OR OTHER
low
Tesla Full Self Driving has no way to limit the speed or lane changes, and even in its standard profile it keeps going 15+ over the limit. Chill mode occasionally goes 10+, and Sloth switches between -10 and +5 erratically. It's unsafe to use and there's no way to do anything about it without a manual speed limit, like it used to have

TESLA MODEL 3 2026 BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
high
Incident involving my 2026 Tesla Model 3 equipped with HW4 hardware and the latest FSD (Supervised) software. During a garage reverse maneuver performed under FSD supervision, the vehicle had sufficient time to assess the surrounding environment before initiating the maneuver. There were no pedestrians or moving obstacles nearby. An adjacent parked vehicle was present next to the intended reversing path. During the maneuver, the vehicle made initial contact with the adjacent vehicle. At no point did the vehicle provide any collision warning, alert, or indication that a collision had occurred. After the initial contact, the vehicle continued moving and a second impact occurred shortly afterward, resulting in additional damage. Immediately after the second impact, the driver intervened and took control of the vehicle to stop the maneuver, before further damage is caused. My main concerns are: 1. Why did FSD fail to identify the adjacent vehicle before the maneuver? 2. Why was no collision warning provided before or after the initial contact? 3. Why did the vehicle continue the reversing maneuver after the first impact instead of stopping till driver intervention? 4. What if is pediatrician who qualify ADA, children, elder was in the position of the adjacent vehicle, this failed sensing would cause imparable result. I would appreciate a technical review of this event and a detailed explanation of Tesla’s findings.
