2024 Tesla Model Y: problems, recalls and reliability

“A Tesla vehicle passed by me and my kid while we are trying to get into the car, it just stopped in front of my parking spot to block my car. Then I got down and checked there is a no driver. I took a picture of the license plate and side view of car where no one is there in the car. It was terrifying since no one is in the parking lot we came after a movie and entered the parking lot to get our car. This smart driving needs to be banned or restricted without driver.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Jul 2026

“Car making excessive noise, service department refuses to address at Tesla even though various cases of the same issue are easily available online. Issue is with half shaft lubrication being dried but Tesla is trying to charge and claiming that the part hasn't failed. But to me a part failing due to lack of lubrication can lead to hazard road conditions. I don't want to put my kids safety in harm but Tesla tells me that no lubrication will not result in part failure”Owner report · Steering · Jul 2026

“While driving on the highway with Tesla FSD engaged, the vehicle activated the right turn signal and began steering right as if taking an exit. There was no exit ramp, gore area, or valid right-turn path at that location. I took manual control to prevent the vehicle from leaving the highway/entering the shoulder. I believe this could have caused a crash if I had not intervened. I have dashcam footage of the event.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Jun 2026

“The rear hatch has shifted out of alignment, and has started to fall 5-10 inch's when opened intermittently. TESLA service can't fix the issue and pushing me to a body shop.
