Latest Cybertruck complaints
I am reporting severe safety negligence by a dealership delivering a dangerous, unroadworthy vehicle by falsifying or completely skipping the mandatory Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). I purchased a demo 2026 electric truck. Immediately after taking delivery, I drove 4 hours on the highway. During this drive, the tire pressure was dangerously low at 44 psi, and the windshield washer fluid reservoir was completely empty, severely impacting visibility and handling. The very next day, an independent tire shop measured...

the tire tread depth at 2/32" to 3/32", which is the absolute legal bald limit in Texas. The dealership knowingly delivered a 6,800-pound heavy vehicle on legally bald tires with unsafe pressure, putting my life and public safety at extreme risk of a high-speed blowout. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by a different official manufacturer service center. Their Service Advisor physically confirmed the tires failed safety standards and officially approved a free replacement (documented as "Rectification" in their system). However, the manufacturer later reversed this safety approval, citing a fabricated "clean" delivery report from the original selling dealership to cover up their PDI failure. The safety of myself and others was directly compromised by the delivery of a vehicle unfit for public roads. The hazard was confirmed by both an independent shop and the manufacturer's own service center, yet the manufacturer is now attempting to use falsified delivery records to avoid correcting the safety defect.
On [[redacted]], at approximately [[redacted]] Hawaii time, my 2026 Tesla Cybertruck was entering my own driveway in Honolulu, Hawaii, heading toward the garage, with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engaged and me seated in the driver's seat. The vehicle struck the concrete block wall at the entrance of my driveway. I did not observe any automatic braking before the impact. After the initial impact, the vehicle did not stop or reverse - it continued moving forward. I applied the brake pedal about three seconds after...

the impact, and the vehicle came to a stop. No one was injured, and the vehicle remains drivable. The collision damaged the front end and driver side of the vehicle - including the hood, front driver-side door, headlight, front light bar and wheel-arch trim - and broke a section of the concrete block wall. My insurer's approved repair estimate is approximately $12,500. I have preserved photos and a walk-around video of the damage. The dashcam clips from around the time of the collision exist in two encrypted folders on the vehicle's USB drive. I have backed up both folders but cannot open or play them, and Tesla's official online viewer tool did not decrypt them. I sent Tesla a written request for investigation and data preservation on October 10, 2026, with follow-ups on October 30, 2026 and through the Tesla app on November 6, 2026. As of November 10, 2026, Tesla has provided no case number and no substantive response, and has not provided a playable copy of the collision video.

VEHICLE SAFETY DEFECT COMPLAINT Manufacturer: Tesla, Inc. Vehicle: Tesla Cybertruck Premium All-Wheel Drive Incident date: [redacted] Location: [[redacted]] VIN: [Insert VIN] Nature of complaint: Unexpected vehicle movements during Full Self-Driving operation and an extremely loud metallic grinding noise while driving. Description of incident On [redacted], at approximately 8 PM Central Time, I experienced a potentially serious safety malfunction while driving my recently purchased Tesla Cybertruck. While...

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) was engaged, the vehicle began making unexpected and erratic driving movements. During the same drive, I heard an extremely loud noise resembling thunder or heavy metal components grinding against one another. I became concerned that a critical mechanical component could be failing while the vehicle was in motion. I was able to return home safely and have stopped operating the vehicle pending a professional inspection. This incident follows an earlier major malfunction in which the windshield-wiper system failed. Tesla service personnel subsequently informed me that the wiper motor had come apart and that associated damage required brake-system repairs. I believe the combination of unpredictable driving behavior, the severe mechanical noise, and the vehicle's recent repair history warrants investigation for possible safety-related defects. I recorded a short video during the incident and preserved available Dashcam footage. I request that NHTSA review this incident and determine whether further investigation is warranted, including whether similar complaints have been reported involving Cybertruck Full Self-Driving behavior, braking, steering, or drivetrain components. I am willing to provide the recordings, prior repair documentation, and any additional information necessary for an investigation.

My 2026 Tesla Cybertruck (base AWD, 18-inch wheels) developed warped front brake rotors at about 6,000 to 6,831 miles, roughly one month after purchase. Tesla Service Center [[redacted]] (invoice [redacted], [redacted]) measured rotor lateral runout of 0.007 in against a 0.002 in spec and denied warranty coverage, saying 'Brake wear is not covered by Tesla warranty.' Tesla attributed the warping to 'spirited driving' and deceleration events of 5 m/s^2. That is about 0.5 g, which is normal braking. Tesla also stated...

the brake pads are like new and the brakes are not glazed, which contradicts its claim that driving style overheated and warped the rotors. Rotor runout this early on a nearly new truck points to a component or manufacturing defect, not abuse. Warped rotors cause vibration and reduce braking performance, which is a safety concern on a heavy vehicle. NHTSA recall 26V255 already covers brake rotor/hub problems on Cybertrucks with 18-inch steel wheels. NHTSA's VIN lookup shows no open recall on my VIN. I have filed an official complaint and dispute with Tesla. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle was parking under full self driving. As it got close to parking pillar it slowed down like it's going to stop but then bumped it.
purchased a pre-owned 2024 Tesla Cybertruck directly from Tesla and took delivery on October 1st, 2026. Before delivery, I noticed the tailgate would not latch properly. A Tesla employee forced it closed, but the truck was delivered with the problem unresolved. After delivery, the tailgate unexpectedly opened multiple times while I was driving, including on the highway. I had to pull over to close it. This endangered me and other motorists. I requested service on October 2nd, 2026, and brought the truck to Tesla on...

October 14th. Tesla subsequently repaired the tailgate, but the problem was apparent before delivery. The rear camera was scratched or damaged at delivery and later replaced by Tesla. I have also experienced interruptions to Tesla's self-driving or driver-assistance features when camera functions were unavailable, raising concerns about camera-dependent safety systems. The truck also shakes and makes unusual noises above about 70 miles per hour. The cause has not been identified, and the vibration remains unresolved. I do not feel safe driving it at highway speeds until it's inspected. Shortly after delivery, I found numerous cockroaches and ants, particularly around the bed and tailgate. My daughter has a documented cockroach allergy, which makes exposure a serious concern for my family. Tesla service described the infestation as a hazard and said service could not proceed until professional cleaning was completed. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe. I have service records, photos, and messages documenting my reports. I ask NHTSA to review the potential safety defects, especially the tailgate opening while driving, the camera-related driver assistance interruptions, and the unresolved highway vibration.
