2025 Tesla Model Y owner complaints

I took delivery of the Tesla Model Y yesterday (12/24/2024). The car has 73 miles on it as of now. First, the rear view camera stops working this morning (12/25/2024) and parking assistant is not available. Then the autopilot won't turn on and the car shows an alert that "power limited". After I arrived home from a supercharger (the car is charged to 80% as of now) around 1pm, the screen turns brick, and it will not turn on again after rebooting. It can drive, but the power feels weak. I called Tesla roadside service. The car has been towed to the Fresno service center.

All cameras and related functions stopped working, including back up camera. GPS is not working. Tesla pushed back my service appointment until 1/21/25. Safety is an issue now due to blindspots and they will not give me a loaner car. Tesla informed me the computer needs to be replaced. They reported this is wide spread and Tesla is not sure why it happened. I was informed that even though my new appointment is 1/21 it is likely that it would be pushed back further. I have only had this car for 5 weeks. No warning lights came on prior to this happening.

Computer system failure causing all cameras to fail, mirrors to stay darkened even in daylight, navigation system not updating, collision and lane departure feature failure. Issues were reported to Tesla and an AP 4 computer replacement were scheduled, however service has been delayed for several weeks ( now 9 Jan 2025). The car does not feel sufficiently safe to drive with the impaired mirror visibility couples with the lack of any cameras or safety features working.

The automatic pilot computer (AP4) failed on my 2025 Tesla Model Y after approximately 400 miles. This controls a lot of the vehicle's auto pilot features but it also controls a lot of its safety features, such as the back-up camera, forward collision warning and blind spot warning. As of 19 December, the Tesla Service Center has had my vehicle for 14 days with no fix for the foreseeable future.

Once you start driving in the rain the horn start loosing volume intensity until it basically it becomes so quiet no one can hear it. This is a safety issue and i've read on line of many peoplehavi g the same issue on their Teslas. A recall shoukd be imposed on Tesla immediately.

Here is my draft: Vehicle Information: • Make: Tesla • Model: Model Y • Year: 2025 Description of the Problem: After a software update pushed by Tesla, the AP4 computer in my 2024 Tesla Model Y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all systems controlled by this computer. The following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: 1.⁠Cruise Control (adaptive or otherwise) 2.⁠Forward Collision Warning 3.⁠Lane Departure Warning 4.⁠Lane Keeping Assistance 5.⁠Blind Spot Warning 6.⁠Parking Collision Warning 7.⁠Full Self-Driving and Auto Park features 8.⁠Cameras required for Autopilot functionality Additionally, because the GPS system has failed, the vehicle’s Navigation system is inoperable. This impacts Tesla’s unique route planning feature that sets up Su

On December 16 and 17, 2025, the manufacturer (Tesla, Inc.) utilized remote telemetry to modify the software state of my 2025 Model Y while it was being operated on public roadways. The manufacturer remotely switched the vehicle profile to "Inventory Mode" (Error Code displayed: "Delivery Type: PICKUP_SERVICE_CENTER"). The Safety Failure: This unauthorized remote manipulation immediately DISABLED the electronic Child Safety Locks without driver consent or warning. My minor children were seated in the rear of the vehicle at the time. The rear doors, which had been locked for child safety, suddenly became operable from the inside while the vehicle was in motion - and my children actually opened the doors while the vehicle was in operation. (Thus my discovery of the issue) The Hazard: This

The camera and GPS failed with 3 weeks of taking possession of this new lease. After several days in the shop, TESLA informed me THE MAIN computer was broken and needed to be replaced, but it was back ordered. They asked me to reopen their loaner and drive this defective car, until the computer comes in.

After approximately 6 months we leased this vehicle we found out some issues with the vehicle. This vehicle has e Parking(P),Drive(D),Neutral(N),Reverse(R) positions. When you want to maneuver you vehicle you pull the lever at the required position. So what happenes some times: I put the vehicle in drive(D) and when I am in very slow traffic,or stop and go traffic or in stop light/sign vehicle Parks itself in Park (P) positions and sometime its difficult placing the vehicle right away in Drive (D). Parking (P) is reseved only to put the vehicle manually in Park(P) like any other vehicle. This vehicle has another option :when you remove your feet from accelarator after 2-4 sec it does apply brakes without pressing the brake pedal. This has happen several times until now. Can you imaging you

The Automatic Pilot Computer (AP4) failed. This controls a lot of Tesla Model Y's auto pilot features but it also controls a lot of its safety features such as the back up camera, forward collision warning and blind spot warning. Another safety concerns is the GPS navigation is no longer function because of the AP4 failure. Navigation is critical in the Tesla ecosystem in order to navigate the charging infrastructure to maintain a charge during road trips. Tesla has admitted to the issue but has done nothing to fix it. I have attached screen shots of the conversation with their service technicians. There is also a picture of the AP4 short remove and replace task for service.

I am writing to formally report a serious safety incident involving a Tesla vehicle and to document multiple critical system failures that occurred during an accident, resulting in physical injuries to me. On the 12/24/2025, while operating Tesla under rainy conditions, I experienced a sudden and dangerous malfunction of the vehicle. During the event, the steering system became unresponsive and appeared to lock, preventing me from maintaining control of the vehicle. Simultaneously, the braking system failed to respond as expected despite my attempt to apply the brakes. These failures significantly impaired my ability to avoid or mitigate the collision. Most concerning, the vehicle’s airbag system did not deploy during the impact. Given the severity of the collision and the resulting

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? There were multiple component and system failures that were experienced. My vehicles autopilot and full self driving took over causing my vehicle to crash head on into a tree. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and others were at risk because I had no control over my vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. The car was taken into custody of the insurance company. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

The vehicle was in supervised full self driving on the turnpike, when all of a sudden it darted out of the lane into th grass hitting a guard rail.

Automatic Emergency braking stopped working. Parking assist stopped working. Back window is dismal. You can't see anything behind through the window. All cameras stopped working and it poses a safety hazard.

Tesla has told me the AP4 computer has failed in my car which has resulted in them having to replace it. I had this issue start right around December 7, 2024. I scheduled the soonest appointment available for December 24, 2024 however Tesla contacted me and moved my appointment because they stated that the part was unavailable at this time and should be delivered by January 24, 2025. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new 2025 Tesla. It has just under 1,000 miles on it and have the car since November 8, 2024. This issue impacts: emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keep/centering, assisting with parking, automatic high beams and wipers, cruise control/ adaptive cruise control, Vehicles built in GPS to be stuck at one location every time, has made my touchscreen not a
