What this problem usually is

Owners in this group describe Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) doing something they had to override: a wrong turn or lane change, a hard slowdown with nothing ahead, a red light or stop sign it didn't stop for. This page sticks to what owners wrote and what NHTSA has on file.

Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.

What owners wrote

“I was using the Tesla FSD in stop and go traffic. At the moment I was moving with traffic at about 30 mph and then traffic started slowing down. The vehicle in front of me came to a complete stop. The FSD on my car started slowing down, but not fast enough. It rear-ended the vehicle at about 18 mph.”

“While driving on the highway with Tesla FSD engaged, the vehicle activated the right turn signal and began steering right as if taking an exit. There was no exit ramp, gore area, or valid right-turn path at that location. I took manual control to prevent the vehicle from leaving the highway/entering the shoulder. I believe this could have caused a crash if I had not intervened. I have dashcam footage of the event.”

“My 2024 Tesla Model Y hit a parked vehicle on the right side of the street during FSD self driving. The car suddently slanted to the right and hit the parked vehicle. During FSD drive, it did not give any warning before the accident. My dauther was injured on her face. Clearly the new version FSD v14.1 software is very defective. I am located in San Jose, CA.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 17 of 37 reports involved a crash and 7 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
