NHTSA complaint: 2025 TESLA MODEL 3 — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
type: Event
additional type: https://schema.org/AccidentReport
start date: 2025-09-07
description: On September 7, 2025 at ~7:53 PM, my 2025 Tesla Model 3 operating with Full Self-Driving (FSD) engaged performed an aggressive, uncommanded turn while under computer control. The maneuver occurred so abruptly that I could not safely override steering before impact, and a crash resulted. The Tesla app Trip View for Trip 3 (7:34â7:53 PM) shows âVehicle on FSDâ for 18 min 54 sec and records an âAggressive Turningâ event at 7:53 PM (2.0 sec) immediately before the trip ended (screenshot attached). This reflects a steering/driver-assist control defect in FSDâs turning behavior and a failure of collision-mitigation to prevent the crash. I sustained bodily injuries and the vehicle incurred significant damage. I request that this incident be treated as a safety-critical malfunction warranting investigation and corrective action.
