Any current issues on the new 26’ model y premiums?

A more useful question is got sources for issues you're wanting?

I have a rattle that comes and goes and my steering wheel vibrates over 70mph. have a service app this Friday though, so we shall see.

148 pages of people trying to fix a suspension rattle and none of Tesla's attempts to solve it have worked [https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-148#post-8993814](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2026-model-y-suspension-rattle.343652/page-148#post-8993814)

My neighbor has a bad suspension sound over bumps, I actually don't know how they let this go considering how prevalent it is

I traded in a 2023 Rav4 Prime XSE fully loaded for a Model Y Premium AWD. So far I have not been disappointed. Before making the trade I started a thread mentioning a bunch of things that I had on the Rav that I was worried about losing with the Tesla. To be honest, I've only had the Tesla for 4 days and I don't remember what that list of things was. The only thing I remember is the Rav's built in garage door opener. Still can't believe Tesla doesn't have that but I just stuck one of the old school clicky remotes on my visor and that works fine. I can always install the Homelink adapter myself if I ever decide I want it built into the car but so far I haven't really missed it. Oh, just remember that Android Auto is missing but the Tesla's built in stuff makes up for it. The only thing I kind of miss is Waze but the day I really need it, I can just stick my phone on a holder next to the touchscreen. So far the Tesla's navigation is routing me away from heavy traffic just as well as Waze did. I miss the police alerts but not much else. As others have mentioned, there are quite a few reports of noises coming from the front suspension but so far I haven't experienced that, and I've gone over plenty of speed bumps. I say go for it.

Is it prevalent across all trim levels or more for a certain trim ?

Yeah I just did that with mine and they gave me the runaround and basically said too bad and said everything's fine

Even with the steering wheel? I can see how they just ignore the rattle or whatever, but the wheel vibrating is an actual issue that needs to be fixed. I anticipate the same though.

Apparently in service mode they can only get up to 65 or something like that and where the service location is at it's a couple miles to the highway. I'm supposed to go back this weekend and test drive it with them. They had the car themselves because they broke the driver's window trying to fix the squeak.

Got my awd at the end of September, no issues, love it.

This apparently is very common and not resolved yet… I’m waiting to order one myself until they fixed it.

I received my 26 AWD Premium today and everything was perfect. The drive was surprisingly smooth and quiet, no defects or noticeable issues. The suspension was really amazing. I’ll drive more to observe but so far so good. I’ll say you go for it.

The rims make a crackling noise at low speeds. Anyone fix this ?

I have 2 Junipers. One of them has no issues (that I know of), built in September '25. The other one, built in August '25, has had 3 issues: front passenger window had a slight delamination, the tailgate was letting water in around the tail light. Both fixed. The current issue is a knocking noise coming from the front end. I'm trying to self diagnose it; I just got a lift so I can get under there.

My drivers seat squeaks terribly during every acceleration and stop. It’s in for the third time and they just ordered a new seat.

Got our Premium AWD late Dec. using FSD 93% of the time. No issues.

RATTLE SNAKESSSSS

Mine has the same, common issue apparently

Mine seems flawless, just picked it up a few days ago. Coming from a ‘24 Model 3 Highland so expectations were high, and it delivered.

Replacing the upper control arms worked for me and my Y

What happens if you have the rattle and you don't fix? Is there a long term serious consequences? I don't know if I have it because I don't know what to look for, or what to listen for, and I don't much about cars. I don't feel any weird thing on mine, but it's possible I might have it if it's that common. Guess my question is, what's the worst case scenario if I have it and not get it fixed?

The infamous front suspension clunk

This thread confirms it..my 2020 MYLR will be my last.

I’ve had mine for 4 months and not a single issue. Best car I’ve ever had

Oh man…this is exactly what I have going on. This is my second time taking it in for service. Now I’m really not confident that it will get fixed. Dang

I have this issue as well.

Had same issue - mine was coming from seat bottom. Sprayed some dry silicon lubricant (garage door lube will work) on the two plastic parts attached to the bar running underneath the cushion and it solved mine. Worth a try

Mine 9/25 delivery, has had the right front suspension components replaced and a freon line replaced after discovering no freon in the AC system.

I’ve had no issues with mine. No rattling or anything. Premium AWD

My drivers seat back squeaks when I rock side to side.

Yep, I’ve been dealing with this since day 1. No fix still…

You would know if you have it. It’s pretty loud and very obvious. No one knows what the actual issue is so it’s impossible to know if it’s a safety issue or has long term consequences. But there’s nothing that can be done yet because they don’t have a fix.

I don’t really have any rattles 10 months in. The car makes a noise when it goes over big bumps but I feel like that’s pretty normal. Pretty sure every car I’ve driven makes a noise when it goes over bumps. Not sure if that’s the suspension clunk but whatever. I do have a piercing brake squeak that’s been happening recently at slow speeds when using the friction brake. Also had a high pitched whistling noise when driving over 60 mph but that might have gone away on its own. I need to check on that noise without music on.

Known issue. No fix

It goes away after a while.

You have the RWD or AWD?

Did you get the AWD?

You have a RWD or AWD?

Close to 8k miles and it’s still persisting lol

Probably will be ignored for the most part, until it's fixed and the unforrunate early adopters are yet again screwed over.

RWD

22k miles on mine and I just have the suspension rattle everyone else has. I have pretty much just toned it out and it doesn't really bother me, but I will get it fixed once there is an official fix. No other issues other than than.

Well, it for sure gets better at least. 😂

Mine also. Service is working on it, it makes a click noise when weight shifts while making turns

You’re in for a ride. 45 pages of people describing the same issue with no fix. [link](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/anyone-experiencing-steering-wheel-on-model-y-juniper-exhibiting-micro-vibrations-at-highway-speeds.345958/page-45) Good luck. I sold mine after 4 months of ownership because I took it to the service center 10 times and they had no idea what to do for all 10 visits.

It’s the lumbar support. Easily fixed by removing the back of the seat and covering the right side rod with tape, anything to cushion the rod. Did it in mine a few weeks after picking it up

Performance AWD, red with white seats and black headliner!

I have AWD. They ordered a part for mine this time around. I’ll report back on what it was and if it fixes it.

This is another level of incompetence 🍿

Yea I saw some people on YouTube were able to get the wheel vibration fixed, but only some. I just want a record at least in case it gets worse for warranty purposes. So fuckin stupid

AWD

I have no rattle from the suspension or anywhere else.

Passenger side front door does not shut easily you have to hold it while while shutting it they said it is a tight seal and will wear in shortly

My RWD juniper has no problems whatsoever. My son's 2025 RWD also has no issues.

Yeah that was pretty annoying but it was cool they gave me a model x as a loaner so that was kind of fun. My wife got to feel like a queen riding in the back. Drove it this morning and had the suspension problems still probably never going to get fixed.

FWD 6k miles no issues apart glovebox not opening, which was fixed.

My RWD with 3k miles got last October Had issue with WINDOW REGULATOR which was fixed Had issues with Front suspension which arose around 1.5k miles which was fixed by replacing Front Upper Control Arm, I don’t think I hear it now, but I will wait for few hundreds of miles and get back to you with an update. Have an issue with steering wheel, Intermittent creaking sound during low-speed steering, most noticeable during U-turns / full-lock turns which is currently being serviced

Had this issue on legacy Y. So irritating to hear

DIY? Does the seat cover unzip or something?

You remove the headrest which has two clips and that essentially unlocks the top portion of the rear of the seat, which is all plastic, and you can slowly pull off the rear of the seat which gives you access to all of the mechanisms. The two lumbar support rods go up either side of the seat and for some reason where it goes through the plastic piece, which is supposed to isolate and prevent sounds that’s where it creeks. I just placed strips of black electrical tape on the rod where it goes through the bushing and it solved the squeaking and creaking, but be damn careful because the sheet metal within the back of the seat is like a razor blade and I cut myself twice

Thanks so much for the explanation! I’ll definitely take a look.

Got the car back today and after a full seat replacement the squeak is gone. Hopefully for good now. Other than the seat my only other issue is squeaky brakes which Tesla said I have to burnish myself even on a brand new car I just haven’t done it yet.

I have Premium RWD Juniper since July 2025. No issues with suspension. Best car I ever driven. The only issue was a cosmetic defect on paints and interior which Tesla took care of.

This happened to mine within first couple 100 miles and they fixed it no problem. Doesn’t happen anymore

I’m so happy I don’t have this suspension clunk sound.

Rattle front suspension here. Anytime I hit any bump it sounds like something is in the frunk but there’s not.
