What owners reported
2025 Tesla Model X owner complaints in detail
Owners have reported 2 crashes and 1 injury to NHTSA for the 2025 Tesla Model X. These are unverified owner reports, not confirmed defect rates.
Owner complaints3
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners of the 2025 Tesla Model X report issues related to the full self-driving feature and windshield integrity. One owner describes the self-driving system attempting an illegal left turn, which has led to multiple near collisions, and notes that this issue persists despite reporting it to Tesla for four months. Another owner reports a spontaneous crack in the windshield, worsening over time, which Tesla has not acknowledged as a manufacturing defect, raising concerns about structural integrity. Additionally, a separate complaint involves a purchasing dispute where Tesla allegedly refused to accept a promissory note as payment, leading to non-delivery of the vehicle. Safety concerns are highlighted in the self-driving malfunction and windshield integrity issues, which may affect vehicle control and driver safety.
Owner complaints2
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2025 Tesla Model X report issues with the vehicle's speed regulation and self-driving assist systems. Complaints frequently mention unintended acceleration or deceleration, with one owner noting the vehicle accelerated to 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone despite settings indicating a different mode. Another owner describes a crash incident involving the self-driving assist, where aggressive deceleration led to rear-end collisions, resulting in one injury. These issues are observed at varying mileages, with one report indicating failure at approximately 6,150 miles. Safety implications include potential loss of speed control and increased risk of accidents.
Owners of the 2025 Tesla Model X report issues with the braking system, specifically sudden and unexpected stops and concerns with the "one pedal drive" feature in icy conditions. One owner details experiencing abrupt, forceful stops without obstacles, resulting in physical injury, and notes this has occurred more than once. Another owner highlights the continuous activation of regenerative braking, which they find unsafe on slippery surfaces, particularly downhill or during turns, due to loss of traction. Both complaints emphasize safety risks, including the potential for loss of control, especially in adverse weather conditions. These issues are reported without specific mileage, but the safety implications are a significant concern for potential buyers.
