NHTSA complaint: 2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK — FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The failed components include the Tesla Vision system (cameras), sensors, Active Safety Control Module (AEB), and Gear Selection UI. Symptoms first appeared on April 30, 2026, including black screens and "Autopilot Unavailable" alerts. Internal vehicle logs from Apr 30 to May 02 confirm persistent "SNA" (Signal Not Available) and "UNAVAILABLE" states for these critical safety modules well before the collision. On the day of the accident (May 02), the logs recorded 25 instances of Gear UI signal loss, which completely disabled the rearview camera and proximity alerts while reversing. This total "blind" state put my safety at extreme risk as I had zero visibility of blind spots and received no audible warnings. The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) was also recorded as "UNAVAILABLE," failing to prevent the collision. The problem is scientifically confirmed by the vehicle's internal diagnostic logs, which I have retrieved and am ready to provide for inspection. The accident has been reported to the local police and Progressive Insurance. I am currently coordinating with Tesla Service for a formal inspection of these software and hardware defects.
