Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report Full Self-Driving making abrupt, uncommanded steering inputs that pulled the car into walls or off the road.
  • Several drivers describe FSD failing to change lanes to pass slower vehicles like motorcycles, forcing manual disengagement to avoid a collision.
  • Some report FSD veering the vehicle off the roadway on curves, in one case striking a light pole and totaling the car.
  • Owners describe FSD choosing the wrong lane at intersections, such as moving into a turn lane when the driver expected to go straight.
  • A few complaints mention the adaptive cruise/lane-centering control wheel not registering button presses reliably, making it hard to toggle the system off.
  • One owner reported an AP4 computer failure that disabled lane-keep/centering along with emergency braking and blind-spot detection.
