FSD Safety Incident — November 4, 2026 While my wife was driving our 2026 Model Y with FSD (Supervised) engaged, the vehicle unexpectedly moved from a right-turn-only lane into a center lane at Volunteer Blvd and Las Vegas Blvd in Henderson, NV. After stopping at a red light, FSD moved back into the right-turn lane when the light turned green. Later, the navigation destination disappeared, and FSD drove toward an incorrect location rather than MADhouse Custom and Detailing. Please investigate the FSD behavior, navigation failure, and vehicle logs. This is a safety concern.

What 2027 Tesla Model Y owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Phantom Breaking when using Traffic Aware Cruise Control. It's dangerous when it slams on the breaks in the middle of the freeway for no reason when traffic is moving at 70 mph. I'm afraid I'll get rear-ended. It mostly happens when going under overpasses and the car sees the shadow, freaks out, and thinks is a solid object, and slows abruptly. Happen every other day or so.
The Tesla, during full self drive ran a red light. The left turn signal changed to green, but the other lights remained red. The Tesla proceeded to go through the intersection.
On October 26, 2026, Tesla FSD Supervised entered an active school zone (20 mph, flashing yellow lights) at ~54 mph and did not slow. I disengaged and braked manually. The same trip, FSD could not position the vehicle in the school car-rider line, forcing another full manual takeover.Failed system: FSD Supervised speed control and path planning. Vehicle/software available for inspection.Safety risk: More than double the posted school-zone speed with flashing lights endangered children, crossing guards, and other road users. Manual intervention was also required in a congested pickup area.Reproduction: Matches public reports and the federal safety agency defect petition DP26010. Not yet inspected by Tesla, police, or insurance.Warnings: None. No lights, messages, or alerts before the failures.Assessment: FSD does not reliably detect or honor active school zones or common pickup-line geometry. The streak system penalizes these necessary interventions, so the only practical way to maintain a long streak is to avoid real-world driving (school zones, local roads, parent drop-off) and stick to interstate miles—the opposite of the “handles everyday driving” claim. This design forces parents to choose between safety and the score.
