Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Vehicles running Autopilot or FSD have drifted or steered toward the curb or an adjacent lane, in some cases striking curbs, poles, or parked cars.
  • Sudden unexplained hard braking (phantom braking) while cruise control or Autopilot is engaged has caused near-misses and rear-approach hazards on two-lane roads and highways.
  • Summon mode has caused the car to cross into an adjacent parking aisle and strike another vehicle.
  • Steering has pulled sharply to one side during driver-assist use, in one case after a tire service visit, leading to curb strikes.
  • Some owners report the system failed to detect a red light or an approaching vehicle in time to avoid a collision.
