Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

Owners report the vehicle steering itself into an adjacent or oncoming lane mid-turn while using Autopilot or FSD Beta, in some cases leading to a collision with another vehicle.
During attempted lane changes with the turn signal engaged, the car sometimes pulls back into the original lane partway through, and in one case caused a rear-end collision.
Some drivers describe the lane-keeping system fighting their steering input, pulling the car back toward an obstruction or off the intended path after they tried to maneuver around it.
In wet weather, several owners report the car spinning or swerving out of control across lanes while on Autopilot, with the system failing to detect stopped traffic, road debris, or slick conditions.
One owner linked lane-change and backup-camera dropouts to a broader electrical glitch that also affected proximity sensors, resolving only after leaving and re-entering the vehicle.
A few complaints raise concern that 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self-Driving' branding overstates what the lane-keeping feature can actually do.
