TESLA MODEL Y 2026 STRUCTURE:BODY
low
We just got our new Model Y today (6/21/2026) at Tesla Dealer in Plano. And I noticed the fabric liner in the center console/storage area is shedding fine fibers. The fibers adhere to skin and clothing and continue to release during normal vehicle usage. These fibers can inadvertently inhaled and I am concern that this issue might cause health hazard to me and my family whenever we are using the vehicle.

TESLA MODEL 3 2026 STRUCTURE:BODY
high
While the vehicle was parked outdoors and the powered rear trunk lid was fully open, I leaned/bent forward into the trunk to retrieve an item. The edge of the trunk lid near the taillight assembly made contact with my scalp, causing a laceration. The wound bled significantly。The trunk lid’s fully-open position, combined with the geometry/edge of the liftgate near the taillight, creates a head-strike hazard for an average-height adult bending into the cargo area. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the powered trunk lid’s open-position geometry presents an unreasonable risk of head injury to vehicle occupants/owners during normal use.

TESLA MODEL Y 2026 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
high
On June 7, 2026, while Full Self-Driving (FSD) was engaged, my 2025 Tesla Model Y drove itself forward out of a parking spot and struck a stationary landscape rock directly in its path. The vehicle did not slow, brake, or steer to avoid the obstacle before impact. The rock was a fixed object roughly 20 inches tall, clearly visible in the vehicle's forward (windshield) camera from a complete standstill, before FSD began moving the car. It stayed visible as the car advanced and dropped into the camera's near-field blind zone just before contact. The vehicle struck it with no apparent detection or avoidance. This is a serious safety concern beyond the resulting property damage. An obstacle of this height is in the same range as a small child or a crouching person. An automated driving system that fails to detect and respond to a fixed, clearly visible object in its direct path presents a significant risk of injury. The dashcam footage (windshield camera) is available and shows the obstacle visible from a standstill. The vehicle's front bumper camera feed is not saved to dashcam, so only the manufacturer's internal logs can confirm whether the obstacle was detected and how it was classified. I reported this to the manufacturer's service team and requested a log review; they declined to confirm detection and directed me elsewhere. No warning lamps or alerts appeared before the impact. Footage and repair documentation available on request.
