Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Rearview and other cameras, blind spot detection, parking assist, and blinkers all stop working simultaneously, sometimes leading to a collision after failing to detect an obstacle.
- Front collision sensors fail to detect another vehicle during a low-speed stop, resulting in a crash into the front fender.
- The reverse camera image disappears when the driver turns on the air conditioner while backing up, with no warning sensors alerting to a nearby vehicle, leading to a collision.
- A software issue causes the reverse camera or control screen to malfunction while backing out of a driveway, contributing to a crash.
- Full Self Driving mode brakes hard unexpectedly in traffic, causing a rear-end collision from behind.
- Autosteer or Full Self Driving mode causes the vehicle to change lanes without driver input, forcing the driver to steer back to avoid hitting a divider or another vehicle.

Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Model 3, Model S, 2023-2025 Model X, and Model Y vehicles. The computer circuit board may short, resulting in the loss of the rearview camera image.
