Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report
- Full Self-Driving or Autopilot fails to hold the lane and drifts toward oncoming traffic, including a case where the car did not recognize yellow double lines on a turn.
- Steering wheel locks or resists input mid-turn, forcing the driver over a curb or into a fixed object.
- Autopilot or FSD makes a sudden, unprompted steering correction that pushes the car into an adjacent lane and into another vehicle.
- Steering feels unusually heavy or hard to turn while Full Self-Driving is engaged, then the condition clears on its own after a few minutes.
- FSD drifts into an occupied left lane despite an oncoming vehicle already in that lane, requiring driver intervention to avoid a collision.
- Vehicle continues moving forward at a stopped red light after initially recognizing and stopping for it, while lane-keeping also falters.
