What 379 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Tesla Model S 75d

Software 2025.14.1, Full Self Driving 12.6.4 (FSD). Vehicle when using FSD continuously slows to 10 MPH below the speed limit. You can manually press the accelerator to speed up but FSD will not brake when doing so and warns you of the same. After a minute of being back at the speed limit, FSD again slows down. Repeat this process constantly. Very dangerous.

Stoped at intersection. While trying to engage signal lights, hit the stalk below that engages full self driving. Car immediately jumped into intersection .in front of another car and almost collided. Since the last update, Cars with my configuration wave been acting irradely and it is not safe to use FSD.

Approaching my garage door as it was opening when the car suddenly accelerated smashing through the garage door, through the back wall of the garage, through the laundry room and finally stopped in the main bedroom with the front wheels off the ground as the car rested on top of the washing machine.

-I think there is known problem with the Tesla. It autoaccelrates o behaves like someone is taking ove the control fo the car - The inital problem happend on June 24th 2022. I was in the parking lot of my work when It felt like I had lost control of the car to hit 2 parked cars. It cost severe damage to front of the car. Car was in the workshop for 4 months. This was completely unanticipated.I have hisotry of driving in US for over 20 years on major freeways before this without a single accident may have developed muscle memory( reflexes by repeated actions) in controlling the car. I was not distracted at the time. of note however my car had rear damages from being rear ended 10 days prior but Tesla authroized dealer had said it was drivable. The car was not in auto pilot mode - Tesla didnt give me any explanation and the repair workshop generalized saying it's usually driver's fault - Since the return from the repair I have 2 auto accelarations driving in the low speed zone. I had to break immediately to control it. Each time it felt like somthing remotely did this. There hasnt been recurrent damage. --The car was inspected by the Tesla authorized workshop couple of times and they claim nothing is wrong. -There have been no warning except on 04/15/2023 when it happened smewhere between 1.34 to 1.36 I thught I heard sort of noise/ quick warning. Again, each time it happens it feels like car is trying to do its own thing ( even when it's not in auto pilot mode)or someone is remotely doing it. Further info on my car: It was purchased in 2020 as a used from Tesla.This problem of auto accleartion or loss of control feeling did not start until car was rear ended in June 2022. I have security footage from the parking lot on how the car behaved in June of 2022 -

Since full self driving, beta has been turned on my car no longer slows down when I reduce the speed or when it encounters a lower speed limit sign, which it will read the speed limit. Prior to this when I decrease the speed or it noticed a decrease speed limit sign. It would use regenerative braking to slow the vehicle down. Now it’ just coasts , and actually sometimes maintains power at a high speed. There are times from going from a 60 and then to a 40 and then to a 30 mile an hour speed zone where it will continue to travel at 50+ miles an hour through the entire speed zone without slowing down which it did not do before FSD beta was active.I have to disengage the full self driving in order to get the car to slow down

This is aTesla Model S electric car. The battery was 80% charged at the time of the incident. Under normal driving at a speed of around 40 MPH in a city road road, suddenly the car lost power. The steering wheel locked and I had no control over the car. Display screen in the instrument panel and the large central tocuh screen display blacked out. A few seconds later, the car control returned and I was able to safely drive the car. But, the momentary loss of control is dangerous and scary.

The issue occurred twice over the period of the past two months, both times I was driving on highway with Tesla autopilot enabled ( It is Adaptive Cruise Control), for no apparent reason the car hit the brakes, all vehicles driving behind me had to hit brakes or change lanes to avoid Collision. Both times I created service request with tesla and got no clear answer to why its happening, first time I was told it is because the exit on map was about couple miles from car location so car had to hit brake hard and change lane to make it to exit but car never tried to change lane, it just did hard braking. 2nd time I was told it happened due to wheel alignment not being accurate. After wheel alignment was done I reached out to tesla again but so far they can not confirm or deny if tesla autopilot is safe for me to drive. I was told to use autopilot at my own discretion. Are car manufactures allowed to sell hardware or software without taking responsibility for its safety ?

NHTSA ODI 11486057

Vehicle automatically and unexpectedly applies brakes when using Cruise Control when no other cars are in proximity or approaching. Sometimes braking is light but other times it is a jolt that is extremely starling. Often happens multiple times within minutes. Unpredictable when it will occur. I have taken the vehicle to Tesla 3 times and they say that they know about the problem but their Autopilot is still in Beta and are not actively working on a fix. On 4/28/2022, while on a trip, there were 5 incidents between 9:51am and 1:43pm.

NHTSA ODI 11469671

I experienced the "Phantom Braking" phenomenon while driving on freeways. It has happened 3 or 4 times in the last year or so. I did not see any obvious reason for the car to have slowed down dramatically because there wasn't a car in front of me at such instances. it occurred while Autopilot was engaged. It has happened on different freeways (I-680, I-880), traversing in different directions and at different times of the day.

FOR MANY MONTHS, MY TESLA'S COMPUTER WOULD REBOOT OR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THAT WOULD STOP THE DEFROSTER, THE ABILITY TO BACK UP, AND MULTIPLE DRIVING ISSUE.

ON 12/03/20 AT AROUND 9:57AM, AFTER I SLOWLY TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING NEAR A WHITE TRUCK AND JUST ABOUT TO BACK UP INTO MY COMPANY'S EV CHARGING PARKING LOT THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SPED FORWARD CLIMBING OVER THE CURB OF THE MEDIAN SEPARATING THE PARKING AREA AND A DRIVEWAY ON THE SIDE OF ANOTHER COMPANY'S BUILDING THEN RUNNING THRU THE MEDIAN AND HEADING FAST TOWARD THE BUILDING BEFORE I SLAMMED THE BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP THE CAR ~15 FEET AWAY FROM HITTING THE BUILDING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR SCRAPED A TREE ON THE MEDIAN AND THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR BROKE THE TREE SUPPORTING POLE. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TESLA SERVICE CENTER 2 HOURS LATER, THEY REPORTED THE NEXT DAY THAT THEY FOUND NO ERROR WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOTALLY CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF THE CAR THAT ICOULD NOT BRAKE EARLY ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR ON THE MEDIAN AFTER IT CLIMBED OVER THE CURB. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY, I TURNED LEFT INTO THE PARKING WITH CAUTION AND FOCUS ON SAFETY ESPECIALLY KNOWING THE WHITE TRUCK WAS NEARBY AND THE MEDIAN WITH THE TREE WAS VISIBLE IN FRONT. THIS IS WHERE I PERFORMED BACKING UP MY CAR ALMOST DAILY AT WORK SO I COULD CHARGE MY CAR IN THE COMPANY'S EV CHARGING PARKING LOT FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THIS LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT, MY HEALTH, MIND, EYE SIGHT AND AWARENESS WERE AND ARE VERY GOOD. I DO NOT SMOKE, DRINK OR HAVE ANY MEDICATION THAT CAN AFFECT MY DRIVING CONTROL WITH SAFETY. I REPORTED THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION TO MY AUTO INSURER AND ASSESSMENT FOR DAMAGE REPAIRED WITH TESLA AUTO BODY SHOP IS UNDER PROGRESS. THERE IS NO POLICE REPORT BECAUSE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

THERE ARE CHALLENGES WITH THE MCU1 AND ITS INTEGRATION WITH FSD HARDWARE #3. THIS MANIFESTS AS FREEZES ON THE CENTRAL AND DRIVERS DISPLAYS UNTIL THE CARS MCU DOES A FULL RESTART(SPEEDOMETER IS NOT AFFECTED). THIS RESTART CAN TAKE AS LITTLE AS 5MIN OR CAN STAY OFF FOR THE DRIVE UNTIL MANUALLY FORCE REBOOT INITIATED. DURING THE FREEZE I EXPERIENCE LOSS OF PASSENGER AIRBAG(WARNING COMES ON, I CANT TELL IF OTHER AIRBAGS ARE AFFECTED). THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM TURNS OFF NO A/C OR HEAT IS AVAILABLE. SOMETIMES AUTO PILOT IS AFFECTED, SO I WOULD ASSUME EMERGENCY BRAKING IS AFFECTED BECAUSE ITS THE SAME SYSTEM AS AUTO PILOT. THE ODOMETER IS DOES NOT RECORD MILES IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. NO BACK UP CAMERA IS AVAILABLE. THESE ISSUES HAVE INCREASED SINCE I HAD THE HW3 UPGRADE HERE IS A WEBSITE THAT TALKS ABOUT THIS ISSUE HTTPS://TESLA-INFO.COM/BLOG/TESLA-MCU1-EMMC-FAILURE.PHP HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/JOE-ROGAN-VS-MCU1-HW3.203776/

THE DEFECTIVE MCU WENT DOWN AND WHAT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY REPORTED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PANDEMIC WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN, IS THAT BESIDES THE ENTERTAINMENT, THE AIR CONDITIONING (AND VIRAL HEPA FILTER), THE SUSPENSION HEIGHT, THE STEERING AND ACCELERATION PROPERTIES, NEARLY EVERYTHING IS NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE WHEN THE MCU FAILS BECAUSE TO THE DRIVER, THESE THINGS CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED AND MANIPULATED THROUGH THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS IN PERMANENT SHUT DOWN MODE. LOOK, I PERFORM FMEA ANALYSIS FOR A LIVING. THIS IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE BEING CAUSED BY THE POOR DECISION TO SELECT AN MCU CHIP THAT HAS A LIMITED NUMBER OF DATA WRITES TO THE MEMORY, AND THAT CANNOT BE CLEARED OUT BY ANY SYSTEM DESIGNED INTO THE CAR. MINE JUST FAILED LAST WEEK AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. TESLA CLAIMS THAT THEY ONLY WARRANTY THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR 25,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY'VE INTEGRATED THE MCU AND EMMU AS THE SINGLE SOURCE OF OPERATIONS FOR ALL OTHER VITAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY INSANE AND IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT WAS 90 DEGREES THE DAY MY MCU FAILED AND DANGEROUSLY HOT INSIDE MY CAR, EVEN WITH ALL WINDOWS DOWN, WHICH ONLY GOT WORSE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH THERMAL LOADS CREATED BY THE BATTERY, NORMALLY PROTECTED BY THE OVERHEAT SENSORS & FANS, THAT ARE NOW NOT OPERATING PROPERLY THANKS TO THE MCU FAILURE. IT ALSO IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MOST OF THE NEED TO WRITE TO THE FINITE MCU & EMMU MEMORY IS CAUSED BY TESLA DURING THEIR FREQUENT SOFTWARE UPDATES. MINE IS A P100D LUDICROUS + AND COST WELL OVER $100,000 WHEN NEW. TELL ME WHAT OTHER MANUFACTURE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH DESIGNING A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE THAT EFFECTS NEARLY EVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES, AND THEN SAY ITS ONLY COVERED FOR LESS THEN THE TIME THEY KNOW THE FIRST FAILURE WILL OCCUR. CRIMINALS AND MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW PLEASE.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VIN OF A RANDOM TESLA MODEL S HAS BEEN USED TO ENABLE ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. HERE IS A FRESHLY UPLOADED YOUTUBE VIDEO OF SOME KIDS FOOLING AROUND WITH AUTOPILOT AND PUTTING MANY LIVES AT RISK. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GXGLMMMFKUA DESPITE SEVERAL FATALITIES AND THE SCATHING NTSB REPORT PEOPLE ARE STILL DOING DANGEROUS THINGS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE MISCONCEPTION THAT AUTOPILOT IS SELF DRIVING AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO RELY ON IT. THIS PUBLIC MISCONCEPTION WAS DELIBERATELY ENGINEERED BY ELON MUSK. AUTOPILOT SHOULD BE GEOFENCED SO THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE IT ON UNDIVIDED ROADS. DRIVER MONITORING SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THE KIND OF STUPIDITY SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDO THE WIDELY HELD BELIEF THAT AUTOPILOT IS PERFECTLY SAFE AND INDEED SAFER THAN A HUMAN DRIVER THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DISABLE TESLA AUTOPILOT IMMEDIATELY VIA AN OVER THE AIR UPDATE. THE WRECKERS YARDS ARE FILLED WITH ASTONISHING NUMBERS OF CRASHED TESLAS. HTTPS://POCTRA.COM/TESLA-FOR-SALE IT IS A CERTAINTY THAT MANY OF THESE TESLA CRASHES WERE CAUSED BY DRIVER DISTRACTION I.E. TOUCHSCREEN AND/OR AUTOPILOT. I PETITION NHTSA TO DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OR DISABLING OF THIS DANGEROUSLY MISNAMED AUTOPILOT. THANK YOU. KEEF

I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TESLA 3 TIMES TO FIX A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE. 11 DAYS AFTER I REPORTED THE ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS OK TO DRIVE I GOT INTO A ACCIDENT. IT TOOK TESLA 5 MONTHS TO GIVE BACK THE REPORTS OF THE CRASH IN WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT. I HAVE LOST TRUST IN THE COMPANY AND HAVE SEEN THAT 127 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO CNN PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. ANY TESLA OWNER IS A PIONEER OF A FUTURE CREATION. AFTER THE ACCIDENT THEY TOLD ME AUTOPILOT IS ON BETA MODE ITS NOT PERFECT YET. THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW PUBLIC TO USE A HAZARDOUS SOFTWARE. ALSO TESLA EMPLOYEES WERE VERY NEGLIGENT. I ALMOST DIED IN THIS ACCIDENT WITH MY FATHER AND THE MANAGER HAD NO IDEA OF MY CASE EVEN AFTER MY CAR WAS GIVEN TO ME AND THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE. I GOT INTO A ACCIDENT 11 DAYS AFTER THEY OK'D MY CAR PLEASE HELP AS I AM FRUSTRATED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE OR WHO TO GET TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF ADDRESSING SUDDEN INTENDED ACCELERATION TO TESLA MULTIPLE TIMES. THANK YOU

OUR TESLA HAS HAD TWO INCIDENTS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION....ONCE SLOWLY GOING INTO A PARKING PLACE AND ONCE BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE. THE FIRST ONE RESULTED IN A COUPLE OF CRACKED RIBS (WITH SEATBELT ON) AND $18,000 IN DAMAGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT: THE TESLA, WHEN BACKING UP WENT TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL BY ACCELERATING AND IT BARRELED ACROSS THE STREET AND KNOCKING DOWN A TREE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE TESLA IS NOW IN THE REPAIR SHOP WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR OF THE CAR. NOT SURE YET OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE TESLA MODEL S.
