What owners report
My 2019 Tesla Model X Performance (HW3, Full Self-Driving purchased outright) has experienced repeated, intermittent critical failures of Autopilot/FSD while driving at highway speeds above 60 mph. On multiple occasions, FSD abruptly displayed a RED immediate-takeover warning and disengaged while actively steering, including during curves and lane changes. Immediate driver intervention was required to maintain control. Some incidents involved unexpected acceleration immediately before disengagement. At other times, Autopilot, FSD, and cruise control become unavailable, displaying âCruise control unavailable.â The problem sometimes disappears without repair. During an active failure, Te
In 2020 my Tesla started throwing a strange fault. Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Issue. The seat would be empty and sometimes the vehicle threw warnings that seatbelt was unbuckled like someone was sitting in the seat. I reported the problem to Tesla and they sent home service in 2020 and supposedly reconnected a cable. The issue has now returned. When I had my vehicle serviced last week they denied warranty to repair the issue even though I reported it back in 2020 and they failed to fix it. They said the sensor has to be replaced, but they can't replace the sensor and have to replace the entire seat just to fix the sensor. And since they refused warranty, I can't afford to
My 2019 Tesla Model X has Full Self Driving (FSD) software version 12.6.4, which is the latest version provided by Tesla for my vehicle. While driving with FSD engaged, the car became confused by the yellow centerline road markings and possibly lines of black tar road repair and swerved across the centerline and into oncoming traffic. I had to take manual control over from the FSD software to swerve the car back into my lane to avoid oncoming traffic. It is clear that this FSD software version is faulty and not capable of promised autonomy. There are newer versions of the Full Self Driving software that Tesla is providing to newer Tesla vehicles but not to my older Tesla with AI Hardware 3.

Vehicle: 2019 Tesla Model X VIN: [XXX] My horn stopped working, and Tesla Service diagnosed the issue as a âknown issueâ with the driver airbag module, stating the entire airbag assembly must be replaced. They quoted me several thousand dollars for the repair. A horn failure caused by the airbag assembly is a safety defect, and Tesla has an active NHTSA recall (25Vâ172) for Model X vehicles with incorrect driver airbag/horn pad assemblies that cause the horn to stop working. My vehicle is experiencing the same failure mode, but Tesla says my VIN is not included in the recall.
