2025 Tesla Cybertruck problems, recalls and owner complaints

I own a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck AWD. The fixed lower rail beneath the front passenger seat has two exposed openings. On September 7, 2026, a metal key fell through one opening into an inaccessible enclosed area beneath the seat and floor structure. The key could not be seen or retrieved. While driving, I repeatedly heard it sliding as the vehicle accelerated, stopped and turned. I attempted to reach it by creating a hand-sized opening in the lower protective panel, damaging that panel, but I still could not locate the key. While parking in my garage, I suddenly heard the key drop into a deeper…

I am submitting this complaint regarding two serious safety-related failures with my Tesla Cybertruck: a braking-system malfunction and a rear suspension/subframe failure at approximately 12,500 miles. The vehicle previously experienced a significant braking problem that required repair by an authorized Tesla Service Center. The initial repair did not properly resolve the issue, requiring the vehicle to return for additional service. Because the problem involved the braking system, I was concerned about the vehicle's ability to stop safely and predictably, creating a risk of a serious…

Interior factory component off-gassing causes a recurring residue film on the internal glass of the forward-facing camera, completely blinding the vehicle's primary safety systems and FSD. Tesla Service refuses to rectify the defect under warranty, calling it standard maintenance, forcing owners to drive with compromised driver-assist features or pay recurring out-of-pocket fees.

The vehicle's rear structural Giga Casting sustained severe structural failure, exhibiting two distinct cracks following an impact. The vehicle and the damaged casting are fully available for inspection upon request at my current location/service center. The safety risk is extreme. The Giga Casting is a core load-bearing structural component of the vehicle. Cracking in this area severely compromises the vehicle's structural integrity. If the vehicle continues to be driven, any subsequent minor impact or even routine road vibrations could lead to a catastrophic structural collapse, complete…

The contact owns a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while pulling into a charging station with the self-driving system activated, the vehicle stopped in front of the payment pole; however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated through the barrier gate arm, and the arm was fractured. The barrier scratched the passenger’s side bumper. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

PCS2 failure. The PCS2 board manages charging and power conversion. Failures typically start by restricting home AC charging speeds (e.g., dropping from 48A down to 24A) and can eventually result in a complete loss of AC charging and a "Charging Unavailable" alert.

My 2025 Tesla Cybertruck AWD (VIN: [XXX] ) has a recurring failure of the right rear seat occupant detection system, which governs airbag deployment and is certified by Tesla to meet FMVSS 208. The same alert (internal code RCM2_a698) persisted through two official repairs at Tesla Palo Alto: 1st repair (Invoice XXX, 8/22/2025): seat belt buckle replaced. Alert recurred 2 days later, August 24, 2025. 2nd repair (Invoice XXX, 9/18/2025): harness assembly replaced. Tesla then performed a Visual Quality Check, recording in the invoice: "Technician performed a visual quality check to ensure its…

While FSD was actived, my cyber truck was driveing on lane 2, it steered to the right on while passing a truck to its right side unsafely. The truck on lane 3 hit my right back wheel, and then it hit another truck on lane 4.

The Power Conversion System (PCS) in the Tesla Cybertruck is experiencing a high rate of hardware-level failure (specifically the PCS2 module) that poses three distinct safety risks beyond the loss of AC charging. Loss of Steer-by-Wire Integrity: The Cybertruck utilizes a full steer-by-wire system and a 48V low-voltage architecture. The PCS is responsible for managing the 48V bus and charging the LV battery. A hardware failure in the PCS (common alerts: PCS2_a094, PCS2_a137) threatens the stability of the 48V system. Any sudden collapse of the 48V bus while in motion could result in a total…

HTSA Safety Complaint Description The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck exhibits a persistent and recurring air suspension system defect that impairs safe vehicle operation. From the moment of delivery, the air suspension failed to raise or lower properly, displaying a fault message indicating potential restoration on the next drive. This did not occur. The issue included repeated overheating warnings, multiple system failure alerts, excessive compressor noise/knocking, steam and water discharge from the undercarriage, and the vehicle remaining stuck in a lowered ride height, causing scraping damage to…

One to two times per month upon starting my Cybertruck I receive multiple notifications for systems not working including "Driver Assistance - Automatic Emergency Braking is unavailable" and "Steering & Braking - Adaptive ride control degraded/Ride comfort may be reduced." These alerts cause the disablement of the regenerative braking, auto-hold (braking), emergency braking, adaptive ride control, traction control, and the self drive features. While the vehicle is still drivable, my ability to control the vehicle is greatly diminished, as is the safety of the vehicle without any of the…

The contact owns a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the rear middle row seat felt loose and failed to remain in place as intended. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a loose rear middle row seat. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 978.
