2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK Steering Problems

While operating on a public roadway with Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engaged, the vehicle unexpectedly departed its intended roadway trajectory. Upon recognizing unsafe vehicle behavior, I attempted to manually override and disengage the system using normal driver control inputs. Despite these attempts, the system did not disengage or yield control in a timely or effective manner. The vehicle continued on an unsafe path, left the roadway, and collided with a fence and a tree before meaningful driver control could be restored. This incident raises concerns regarding the reliability of driver override authority and the system’s ability to relinquish control during supervised operation.

Component/System Failed: The primary component failing is the Front Overhead Console Assembly (P-R-N-D manual gear selector/shifter and hazard light switch). The assembly detaches, rattles, and fails to remain securely affixed to the headliner. The defect has been present since delivery (Aug 2024, 208 miles). Safety Risk: The overhead console contains the crucial backup gear selector and the hazard light button. Should the vehicle’s primary touchscreen fail (rendering the main gear selector unusable), reliance on this repeatedly detaching or faulty manual shifter compromises the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive) or activate emergency hazard lights. Problem Confirmation/Inspection: The failure is confirmed by the manufacturer (Tesla Service Centers). Tesla attempted to fix the overhead console defect at least four times. The defect was confirmed again on October 22, 2025 (11936 miles), where Tesla noted only a "slight adjustment... as a temporary fix" and stated a "Permanent fix will be performed on the upcoming visit". The vehicle and its components have been inspected repeatedly by Tesla technicians. Warning Lamps/Symptoms: The primary symptom is the physical rattling, looseness, and detachment of the overhead console/gear selector. The center console can come off at ant time that the windshield visor is detached from the console. This has happened to me several times while I was driving and it caused the cybertruck to shift out of gear and has changed the gear to neutral and park on different occasions. The first time this happened while I drove, I was driving down the street and the car came to a hault when the gear shift cover came loose. This could have caused a serious accident, but fortunately it didnt. This problem existed from the time of delivery & we had to make our 1st service apt on the day we took possession of the truck. This happened several times afterwards and tesla was unable to fix this in 7 attemp

On [XXX], [XXX] sat in the left rear-seat of a Cybertruck that was involved in a solo-vehicle collision. [XXX]'s impact injuries were minor. The truck caught fire. The right rear door remained mechanically openable, but its ordinary operation depended on low-voltage electronic buttons located inside the cabin and on the exterior pillar. Those buttons failed after the crash. A man tried to rescue the occupants, but he could not open the doors because the buttons failed and the truck lacks exterior handles. The "armor" glass made it difficult for the rescuer to break open the windows. The mechanical backup releases for the rear doors are concealed beneath the map pocket liner at the bottom of the doors — not feasible to find or use in the smoke, heat and chaos of a post-crash fire. This obscure release left the rear seat occupants with no practical means of egress. [XXX] died of smoke inhalation and burn injuries because he was trapped inside the Cybertruck. Another occupant and the driver also died. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact leased a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the windshield wipers turned off. The contact stated that the indicator was inoperable. While depressing the left turn signal, the blinker was slow to respond. While driving on a narrow street, the vehicle swerved to the right. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received a recall letter related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V170000 (Structure). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who referred the contact to the dealer. The contact called an unknown dealer in Las Vegas, NV, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was called, but there was no response for two hours. The contact eventually spoke to a representative who suggested that a service appointment should be scheduled using the App. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

Mileage: 5,000

Cyber truck went hydroplane twice in the rain on low speed

Truck mirror came in contact with a small eucalyptus tree at 65 MPH on the side of the highway during a trip on FSD autopilot. On the way back from the trip, the destination address was put into navigation and the FSD button was pressed. Unbeknownst to me the vehicle had switched from FSD Autopilot to cruise control. The vehicle was swerving all over the road and almost hit a curb and other parked vehicles at 25-30 MPH Also, aside from this case in some areas on the highway the vehicle will cut over the lines and not stay in the lane while in FSD Autopilot. I have NEVER had this issue where FSD Autopilot disengaged after a trip and returning. Once the settings are placed in FSD Autopilot they were never changed unless done manually. There were no alerts/notification telling me FSD/Autopilot was disengaged. I’ve sent a report to Tesla and received an automatic AI response mentioning that FSD or Cruise Control needs to be selected for each trip. This has NEVER been the case.

When the vehicle achieves highway speeds of 65-75 mph, there is a tremendous vibration all over the vehicle. It feels like the tires are coming off and it is difficult to stear and maintain lanes, or control of the vehicle.

Hello are you still in business or has Elon DOGED you already? No matter.... here's a CyberTruck in the junkyard. [XXX] The wheels have gone all whompy. Don't suppose you are bothered about it. Have a [XXX] day. Your friend [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On Saturday, [XXX], vehicle was at a T-intersection, in normal drive mode (not FSD) waiting for traffic to pass to enter roadway from side road. Vehicle suddenly started to go backwards. Had to press on the brake to stop. Rebooted the car and the error happened again. Tried to reverse from the intersection to be able to stop the vehicle in a safe location, but steering (drive by wire) was not working. Had to drive with one foot on the brake and one on the electronic throttle to go backwards, even though vehicle was in drive model. Display read 'Traction Control Disabled', 'Adaptive Rider Control Degraded', 'Stability Control disabled', and 'Emergency braking not available'. Tesla service was requested and vehicle was transported to Tesla facility in Tampa. I am very concerned that had this failure occurred while on interstate could have resulted in a serious accident.

I purchased 2024 Tesla cybertruck and got the delivery of the truck on May 11th 2024. One the very first day I experienced a critical warning that stated " Critical Steering issue detected" and it started beeping loudly and I was unable to steer it. Now I am unable to drive the car as I have a whole lust of critical alerts that pop up on the screen. I am concerned about my safety and others on the road. One of the warning says "loss of system redundancy detected. Unable to shift out of park because vehicle has detected loss of redundancy. The vehicle may suddenly lose electrical power, steering and propulsion, and maybe unable to apply the parking break." I tried contacting Tesla emergency roadside support and they just keep me on hold and I am unable to reach a real person. I tried scheduling a service appointment but these warnings are critical and is a potential safety concern.

While driving vehicle a prompt flashed on the screen saying “power reduced, steering performance reduced due to overheating”. Then the next screen said “critical steering issue detected pull over”. Then I got a loss of system redundancy detected. This has happened twice in one week and I’ve towed it to Tesla twice.
