Recent 2024 Tesla Model Y complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Steering · reported Nov 6, 2026
While driving my 2024 Tesla Model Y, a slight right turn of the steering wheel caused the left front wheel to turn sharply to the right, appearing to reach its full steering angle, while the right front wheel did not turn similarly. The steering was difficult to return to center, with loud clicking/cracking noises. I pulled over safely and stopped driving. After getting out, I observed that the front wheels were pointing at noticeably different angles and recorded a video. The vehicle was unsafe to drive. I contacted Tesla service and arranged towing through Uber. The cause has not yet been…
Seat Belts · reported Nov 5, 2026
The driver side, rear passenger seat buckle, and the middle rear seat buckle, due to work/latch. Tesla is refusing to repair under warranty and charging $160 per seat buckle.
Power Train · reported Nov 2, 2026
While driving with the vehicle's Full Self-Driving system engaged, my vehicle suddenly displayed a 'Rear Motor Disabled' alert and lost all propulsion, without any prior warning of any kind. The vehicle could not be restarted. I had just exited State Route 134 onto a local road across from Providence High School in Burbank, California, and the vehicle came to a stop in the middle of the roadway, in darkness. Had this failure occurred minutes earlier, while traveling at highway speed at night, the consequences could have been catastrophic: a vehicle that suddenly loses all propulsion and cannot…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 30, 2026
Following a software update (2026.38.3.2), without any prior warning messages or symptoms, the vehicle's onboard computer failed on 10/26/26, which resulted in the loss of critical driver-assistance and safety systems. The affected systems included the backup and side-view cameras, blind-spot monitoring, emergency braking, collision warning, lane departure warning/assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, GPS, and adaptive headlights. The loss of the cameras and blind-spot monitoring reduced my ability to identify surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, while the loss of automatic emergency braking…
Suspension · reported Oct 28, 2026
I am reporting a potentially serious rear suspension safety defect involving a 2024 Tesla Model Y manufactured in January 2024. On August 22, 2026, during tire service, technicians demonstrated excessive movement of the right-rear wheel while applying torque. I observed the entire wheel visibly shifting relative to the wheel opening and recorded the movement on video. I postponed a prepaid wheel alignment and scheduled a Tesla inspection. Tesla subsequently confirmed excessive play in the right-rear upper ball joint and replaced it. During this repair, Tesla discovered that the retaining nut…
