  Based on the latest 2025–2026 data, including the recent Hardware 4 (AI4) failures and phantom braking investigations, here are 5 labels for Model Y Collision Avoidance Malfunctions : Phantom Braking (Tesla Vision), Cause: Relying purely on cameras (no radar), the system can be "tricked" by shadows, bridge reflections, or bright glare, causing the car to brake abruptly at highway speeds. Solution: Tesla releases continuous Over-the-Air (OTA) neural network updates to improve object "depth" perception. Owners are advised to hover their foot over the accelerator in high-glare areas to override sudden deceleration. AI4 Computer Short-Circuit, Cause: A 2024–2025 hardware defect where the "AI4" (Hardware 4) computer can short-circuit during camera calibration, causing a total loss of safety systems, GPS, and rearview cameras. Solution: Tesla replaces the entire onboard computer for affected vehicles. If the failure occurs within the first few hundred mile...
