HTSA Safety Complaint Description The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck exhibits a persistent and recurring air suspension system defect that impairs safe vehicle operation. From the moment of delivery, the air suspension failed to raise or lower properly, displaying a fault message indicating potential restoration on the next drive. This did not occur. The issue included repeated overheating warnings, multiple system failure alerts, excessive compressor noise/knocking, steam and water discharge from the undercarriage, and the vehicle remaining stuck in a lowered ride height, causing scraping damage to underbody trim and mud flaps. The vehicle underwent a major warranty repair where the air suspension compressor was replaced due to a stuck exhaust valve and damaged air line, followed by recalibration. Despite this, suspension overheating warnings and intermittent system failure notifications continued to appear. On December 23, 2025, while driving at moderate speed in clear conditions, the vehicle suddenly and uncorrectably migrated off the roadway. Adaptive steering correction, braking intervention, and lane assist failed to engage. At the time of the incident, the display actively showed service notifications indicating suspension system failure and overheating. The vehicle veered into a ditch, resulting in a significant drop and requiring specialized heavy-duty extraction. This defect has impaired the vehicle’s handling, stability, and safety from delivery onward, with no resolution after attempted repair. The recurring nature and active failure alerts during the loss-of-control event suggest a serious safety risk.
