UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
This incident happened as a result of the Smart Auto Summon feature failed in Tesla. I paid so much for the technology to work but it failed multiple times which is acceptable as I know the FSD and Auto Summon is in beta program but they way this incident happened, it definitely has to do something with either their Camer system, sensor or may be the hardware needs to be upgraded. Imagine if it had hit to some person. I activated the Auto Summon feature to call my Tesla in a parking lot. Regrettably, during the maneuver, my vehicle collided with a pole, damaging the car. It was a big pole. I have all the videos, and if needed, i can provide you with more details here ( Videos and Witnesses) . I have reached out to Tesla but looks like they are not even bothered about this incident and don't want to do anything and blame myself for this incident.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
My car was set on navigate on autopilot, and normally it decreases speed when detecting change in speed limit. But for last couple of times, it's been not decreasing speed. On july 4th, 2023, I was driving and it did not change the speed limit based on the changes on the road. The speed limit had changed from 60 to 55, and it didn't change in the car. Also, Tesla just abruptly slowed down multiple times without any warning. There's no obstruction in the road, but it just keeps slowing down without a reason. Like the speed limit would be 45, and it's slowed down to 20. The car ahead is faster, and no one is walking across. it's just random.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
As I was driving the car today, I had a car ahead of me at a full stop, so in order to slow down the car I lifted my foot off the acceleration pedal. However, instead of slowing down it sped up. My car has regenerative breaking (and it was turn on) which usually applies break when the pressure is lifted from acceleration pedal. However in this instant my car started speeding up. I then applied pressure on breaks, however it didn’t work. Fortunately the car ahead of me moved ahead and an accident was averted. My break and accelerator started working as expected moments later. But this can cause accident anytime. I have booked service request with Tesla. Also note that the car was not on Autopilot.

Additional Notes:
As I was driving the car today, I had a car ahead of me at a full stop, so in order to slow down the car I lifted my foot off the acceleration pedal. However, instead of slowing down it sped up. My car has regenerative breaking (and it was turn on) which usually applies break when the pressure is lifted from acceleration pedal. However in this instant my car started speeding up. I then applied pressure on breaks, however it didn’t work. Fortunately the car ahead of me moved ahead and an accident was averted. My break and accelerator started working as expected moments later. But this can cause accident anytime. I have booked service request with Tesla. Also note that the car was not on Autopilot.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The car, on 6 occasions, rapidly decelerated while using the Autopilot feature when no obstruction was present. This was on the freeway, on a sunny afternoon, and seemed to occur at random without regard to overpass shadows, hills, etc. This nearly caused a collision from a car following me on one of the occasions.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on Interstate 25 north towards Santa Fe NM at about 75mph with the cruise control engaged. The car abruptly slowed down to about 60 mph for no apparent reason. The slow down was so quick that passengers were pushed forward in their seats. This has happened before when cruise control was engaged. I had hoped that this was resolved by Tesla. There was not any vehicles in front of me for the car to believe a slowdown was necessary. I reported this to Tesla for repair and they replied that a repair was not necessary. They gave me instructions to override the action by pressing the acceleration pedal. I don't believe that is the solution to the problem and fear that if another car was following to close behind me that an accident could have happened. This car was purchased with cruise control but I cannot utilize it for fear of this braking problem
