Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Vehicle steers itself out of the lane and into a tree, barrier, or guard rail without warning while Autopilot or FSD is engaged.
  • Steering wheel suddenly turns sharply or spins uncontrollably, causing the car to cross lanes or spin out, in one case reported the night after a software update.
  • Autosteer or Smart Summon fails to detect nearby vehicles, animals, or parking lines, leading to collisions despite functioning cameras and sensors.
  • Lane assist activates unexpectedly during normal driving in the rain with the driver's hands on the wheel, pulling the car toward an obstacle-free area.
  • Braking does not slow the car after an unwanted lane-assist swerve, with owners reporting difficulty regaining control.
  • A b-pillar camera shows condensation inside the housing, preventing it from operating correctly.
