Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Autopilot or Full Self-Driving reportedly veers sharply out of the lane without warning, in some cases crossing into oncoming traffic or off the roadway entirely.
  • Owners describe the vehicle failing to detect lane lines near intersections or lane merges, causing sudden unexpected turns toward barriers or trees.
  • Some drivers report Autopilot disengaging abruptly when a seat sensor detects weight shift, with the car continuing straight into another lane or ditch instead of staying centered.
  • A cluster of complaints describes an AP4 computer failure that knocks out lane departure warnings along with cameras, mirrors, and navigation at the same time.
  • Several owners report losing ADAS and lane departure functions simultaneously in specific locations, suggesting an external signal or software conflict disables the systems while driving.
