2022 Tesla Model Y problems

“Tesla manual States that to shift from drive to reverse all you have to do is press the stop all the way up. However while driving if you had used autopilot which is the adas system and disengaged it without hitting the brakes then the car will refuse to go into reverse contradiction to the user manual. I have almost been in numerous low-speed crashes because I pressed the stock up to go into reverse and thinking that the car will go into reverse I'm pressing the throttle again only for the car to work forward followed by a delayed sound indicating that the car didn't go into reverse. The sound he's almost always delayed.”

“When engaging fsd, you can’t see the safety distance between you and the car in front of you for defensive driving. Even if you are supervising fsd at high speed on the freeway, the high speed and sudden possibility of fsd disengaging is dangerous. The fsd mode should allow for safe distance between you and vehicle in front to be set manually and if it can’t be set manually, it shouldn’t be allowed to following too closely to the front vehicle. It’s unfair and absolutely dangerous to all should the fsd disengage and the driver doesn’t have time to react even though we are responsibly supervising. This feature needs mitigation”

“The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while stopped at a red light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended and jerked. The contact stated that after shifting into reverse(R), the vehicle failed to reverse as intended. The vehicle was shifted to park(P) and then into drive(D) several times, and the vehicle accelerated. The contact stated that approximately 20 minutes later, while exiting the highway and approaching a red light, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle was stopped and the hold feature was engaged and the icon showed up on the dashboard, but the vehicle rolled backward and struck another vehicle. The vehicle was then shifted to park(P), and after speaking with the other driver, the vehicle was moved to the closest parking lot. The Police were called, but a report was not filed. The vehicle was then taken to the residence. The vehicle was taken to a dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was then taken to the same dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,500.”

“The contact owned a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the central computer suddenly overheated. The failure caused the vehicle to stop immediately and disabled other essential safety features. During the failure, the center screen flashed red with a message instructing the driver to take control, followed by a series of unknown error codes and an "APP_W141 ECU thermal alert" warning. After researching, the contact discovered that the failure might have been caused by a recent software update from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a Tesla Service Center confirmed the failure as a Hardware 3 computer failure. The contact was informed that the system needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 95,000.”

“I was using the Full Self Driving Feature on the Tesla when it began to merge into the lanes on the right and it almost hit another vehicle. Today is the second day using the FSD feature, this is the first time it does this. Prior to it merging lanes on its own, it did swerve to the right on one lane as well.”

“After making a left turn I got 2 alerts on my screen "steering assist reduced" and "lane departure disabled", I tried to reset the vehicle few times, but it didn't work, I drove it to Tesla repair center and they issued steering rack damage diagnosis, Tesla is removing and replacing the steering rack along with wheel alignment at this moment. Driving with the alert was extremely dangerous since the steering could have been completely disabled while driving and this could happen on the freeway or a busy street which would have put me and others at the risk. Since it has been a very common problem with 2022 and 2023 models and recall has been issued for 2023 models, I feel like the 2022 models having the exact same problem are being ignored and it's drivers put at a risk of hurting themselves or others.”
