None of the cameras work in the Tesla. Unable to use any safety features. No reverse camera. Any adaptive cruise control, safety features are all disabled. Two months to get it repaired and serviced.
2024 Tesla Model Y driver assistance complaints
Page 4 of 7: complaints 71 to 100 of 177, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Park assist error message when put car in reverse. No visualizations on display. Early collision not working. Several times (not in this instance) backup camera has been black and does not show an image. Sentry system error message. FSD offline. (may not be a safety issue but wanted to provide information as it would show other errors in the system affecting safety) I have a scheduled appointment with the service center in February.
Back in late November 2024, Tesla pushed an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to my 2024 Tesla Model Y. Immediately after pushing this OTA, all of my car's cameras stopped working (INCLUDING my rear or "backup" camera). This is in violation of federal law as all new vehicles are required to have a backup camera. Additional safety-critical items were also impacted: the rear-view and both of the side mirrors remain tinted to the darkest level, reducing my visibility. The side mirrors are also tilted in the "downward" position, making lane changes incredibly difficult. Since the front-facing and side-facing cameras do not work the vehicle's forward and side collision detection systems are inoperable. The vehicle suffers from additional failures (GPS navigation, Maps, Autopilot, among many others). I have presented these issues to Tesla and they have continously pushed out my repair date. I have also asked for a loaner vehicle due to the failure of the car's safety systems (some of which are federally mandated!!). Tesla has ignored my pleas for a loaner vehicle and has also remained silent when I have repeatedly asked to return the vehicle under Washington State lemon laws. My safety and the safety of others have been put at grave risk due to the backup camera and collision detection cameras not working. Tesla has NOT inspected the vehicle as they continuously push my service date further out. No obvious warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms appear. The user doesn't know these federally-mandated safety features are inoperable until they put the car in "reverse" or attempt a lane change.
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 [XXX]. I scheduled the soonest appointment available for 12/30 however Tesla contacted me and moved my appointment because they stated that the part was unavailable at this time and should be delivered by 01/9/25 but now it has been pushed back to 1/20/25. Not offering me a rental or anything on my brand new '24 Tesla. It has just over 1,000 miles on it and is ~3 months old now. 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 automatically brighten or dim, my auto dimming mirrors be too dim in most driving conditions, constantly fail to install system improvements and safety updates, and because my vehicle keeps trying to do this, it has caused increased battery drain as well. This has increased the safety risk of my vehicle tremendously... Tesla has not seemed to publicly acknowledge the issue yet either.

Around the end of November, my 2024 Tesla Model Y's cameras stopped functioning. The sensors for blind spots and possible collision prevention stopped working. The GPS was also not working, the car believes it's been in the same spot for over a month. The lights of the car also do not work as promised, as now I have to manually turn them on on my dashboard and it goes on and off. I have been trying to get into Tesla to have this fixed but the appointment keeps getting pushed out due to the part that needs to be fixed not being in stock. I brought my car into Tesla for them to confirm that it is the part that is missing and that is the case but they couldn't fix it because they don't have the part. It's been over a month and my date was pushed out again, probably the sixth or seventh time. Tesla claims that there will be a software update that will fix this issue, however, my car is not updating and won't even accept a software update.
I initially visited the Milford, CT Tesla Service Department and communicated through the Tesla Ap on 12/14/2024 regarding my 2024 Tesla Model Y, which has only 2,357 miles on it. The car's cameras, sensors, & navigation stopped working, making driving unsafe. Now, the bright lights do not go on. The vehicle's camera/sensors are critical for safe operation. Tesla said the car may need a new computer, but they have none in stock. They texted me that they have many people facing the same issues.
Tesla Full Self Driving v13.2.2 attempted to make a left turn while having a red light. The vehicle successfully came to a complete stop due the red light but once traffic cleared the intersection it attempted to proceed with the left turn while still having a red light. I immediately took over preventing the car from entering further into the intersection.
According to Tesla the AI4 computer experienced an internal short circuit. This has rendered all cameras including backup camera, GPS, parking sensors, and automatic wipers inoperable. The visibility out of the vehicle is very poor to the rear without the backup camera. Parking without the rear camera and parking sensors is difficult. Not having physical controls for the wipers makes turning them on/off and changing speeds difficult, causing a lot of drivers distraction.
Around Dec 16 all cameras in my 2024 Model Y Tesla stopped working and it has not worked since that date. This affects many systems, the most important of which is that I now have no rear backup camera. I believe vehicle manufacturers are required to have functioning back up cameras. I notified Tesla service on 12/16 and was told there was a known computer hardware problem which would cause my incident. Tesla service told me they were unable to obtain the needed computer replacement for a month at least. They informed me there was no safety risk, but I disagree since I don’t have a functioning back up camera, nor lane change camera assistance. Also the display panel is very dark and impossible to read most of the time, posing another safety concern. Why has Tesla not issued a public statement about this problem, and why has the federal safety agency not mandated a formal recall?
Vehicle Information: • Make: Tesla • Model: Model Y • Year: 2024 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: Cruise Control (adaptive or otherwise) Back up Camera Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Blind Spot Warning Parking Collision Warning Full Self-Driving and Auto Park features 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 Supercharger stops during long journeys. Without a functioning navigation system, I cannot properly plan my travel or locate charging stations, which severely affects the usability of the vehicle. Safety Concerns: The failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Incident Details: • The issue occurred immediately following a software update. • Tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • The failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the AP4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update. Desired Outcome: • A thorough investigation into Tesla’s software update process and its effect on vehicle hardware and safety systems. • A resolution that prevents similar failures in other vehicles and ensures system updates do not compromise vehicle safety or critical functionality.
The FSD feature for which we have paid in full to Tesla does not work. No cruise control and no Assisted Steering Control or Cruise Control works. As per their Service Department, AP4 Car Computer has internal short and camera can not communicate for above mentioned features.
Several malfunctions: all cameras including rear cameras were disabled, high beams would flash on and off continuously when in auto mode. Front Passenger safety restraint failure alert message that eventually turned off. The car continuously has a humming noise even after turned off. Navigation system was not operable.
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. None of cameras on my vehicle are now viewable. Due to the design of the vehicle, reversing without having a backup camera functional is a hazardous event. Also, the following safety-critical and driver-assist features have become non-functional: -Cruise Control (adaptive or otherwise) -Forward Collision Warning -Lane Departure Warning -Lane Keeping Assistance -Blind Spot Warning -Parking Collision Warning -Full Self-Driving and Auto Park features -Cameras required for Autopilot functionality -GPS system has failed, the vehicle’s Navigation system is inoperable. Safety Concerns: The failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Without a backup camera, the risk of causing injury to people or property is greatly increased.

All cameras stopped working. Blind spot detection not working. Blinkers stopped working. No parking assist. Auto wipers . Adas not working. Screen auto brightness not working. Clicking when letting off accelerator. We damaged our tire and rim due to this issue.
The autopilot computer failed. This has rendered all safety systems and camera on the vehicle inactive, including the rear view camera, all forward and side cameras so no active safety systems are functioning. This includes crash avoidance, lane keeping, blind spot warning, cruise control, and rear camera during reverse, the vehicle is nearly impossible to reverse as the view is terrible with no cameras.
Hello , I just bought the new Tesla Model Y 2024 in the October and all of a sudden all the driver assistance programs are not working, including the Rear Camera(Reverse camera) I took it for the service on December 4th and they fixed issue on December 5th. After few days on December 13th the same issue happened again and Tesla service center is saying I need to wait till February 20th 2025 for the repair. All cameras are not working in the car, it does not show any backup camera, No forward collision warnings or no lane change assist Tesla is not considering this as a safety issue I am including a chat summary with the service center via PDF file. I have included previous repair invoice also when the same issue happened on 4th December
Software update applied OTA. Complete failure of ECU on reboot, including cameras, rear backup camera, all proximity warnings, cruise control, FSD, GPS, navigation, battery preheating, etc. Car is unsafe to drive in this state.
Cameras stopped working which made all of the safety functions and GPS stop working as well.
The car lost all ADAS functions, and GPS on the onboard navigation system. In addition. it can't use regular cruise control and it does not have rear view mirror blind spot warning capability any more. This all happened when the car attempted to install the "holiday" updated from Tesla automatically around 11/29/24 .
After a software update pushed by Tesla, the AP4 computer in my 2024 Tesla Model Y shorted out, causing a complete failure of all safety systems controlled by this computer.

Auto headlight dim / Auto wiper system 10. BACK UP CAMERA RENDERED INOPERABLE 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 Supercharger stops during long journeys. Without a functioning navigation system, I cannot properly plan my travel or locate charging stations, which severely affects the usability of the vehicle. This system also initiates preconditioning of the battery (heats it up to be able to charge), so super charging is extremely slow without the gps system availability. Safety Concerns: The failure of these systems, especially safety features like forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot monitoring, puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Losing access to safety-critical functions after an update is unacceptable and poses a serious danger to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Rear visibility in the car is very limited without the federally required backup camera. Incident Details: • The issue occurred immediately following a software update. • Tesla pushed the update remotely without providing any warning or indication of potential risks. • The failure appears to be related to a hardware short in the AP4 computer, directly caused or exacerbated by the update.
My New 2024 Model Y Tesla is having a computer failure - no navigation / GPS (stuck at last address when issue occurred) and no cameras (including rear camera). With limited rear windshield visibility and no backup camera functionality, we've been put in dangerous situations. They keep pushing out the service dates waiting on new parts / computers. I found this article that details the widespread issue and parts shortage. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Navigation is frozen. No cameras work. No full self driving features work. No cruise control.
Back-up camera went out along with blind spot camera. All camera inoperable. Front research this appears to be an issue with the computers in 2024 late year Model Y's built in the Tesla Fremont factory.
They advertise it as a computer failure. The cruise control doesn't work, none of the cameras displays, causing me to hit the lawnmower in my garage. Other functions as navigation, range prediction, and automatic light/dark display switching don't work either.
2024 Tesla Model Y. All cameras and GPS used for safety and convenience features suddenly stopped working. Everything was working when vehicle parked for the evening, next morning cameras and GPS stopped working. No accident or other incident associated with it. No longer able to use: Backup Camera Automatic Cruise Control (including Full Self Drive (Supervised)) Blind Spot warning when changing lanes. Navigation Parking Collision Warning Automatic Braking There is concern with safety of vehicle overall since many of the safety features rely on Tesla cameras.
AP4 computer failure has led to navigation, cameras, blind spot monitoring, lane departure and other systems being inoperable. Tesla has stated they don’t have the parts to fix and have pushed out my service repair time twice already. Issue reported on December 4th, since then no time table for repair has been given. Tesla keeps stating the car is operable, leaving out the facts it’s dangerous to drive due to small rear windows and blind spots based on the cars design to work with operable cameras that give the drive clearer angles to view.
On 12/16/2024 my vehicle received software update 2024.39.15, after installing the update i went to the grocery store and noticed nothing was working in the car except basic driving functionality. cameras were showing up as a black screen. TACC, aurosteer and FSD supervised were no longer working as well as AEB,FCW,BSM,LDW,LKAS and the gps had me in the middle of the ocean, headlights on during broad daylight. I informed a service center by my home and they simply didn’t care, i took it to another service center 50 minutes away and they took two days to do repairs and diagnostics, i was told the computer had shorted out and the technician replaced the car computer and AI4 (HW4) computer system which runs safety features. A software update physically pushed from tesla should not be shorting out computers on its vehicles, i heavily rely on the cameras and safety features since living in a state where nobody knows how to drive (lol). I hope my vehicle is fixed and this issue doesn’t persist anymore.
Starting on 12/4/2024, my car's camera stopped working, no blind spot warning, no navigation, no rear view camera and no cruise control. Reported to Tesla on 12/8 and they said it is a known problem nationwide and some Autopilot computers are getting shut or something. They have given me an appointment for 1/4/2025. The vehicle is really unsafe to drive without these components working and the vehicle draws on heavy amount of battery usage without these controls and for my commute on highway, I am always nervous about if there is going to be enough for me to reach the next charging station. I would expect this falls into safety recall and Tesla should at least send out a service bulletin as well as provide alternate vehicles for the owners to use until this can be fixed.
My computer has failed. No cameras work including the rear camera. It no longer has cruise control, keeps me in my lane, or has blind spot detection.
