Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle while in adaptive cruise control or autopilot will brake hard at high speeds on wide open highway. It has always done this from day one but while on a Kansas open highway it almost caused a major accident 3 times in a short period of time. After the third incident I discontinued any driver assistance. The speed limit was 75mph, the autopilot was set at 75mph, in under 2 seconds we were at 35mph for no reason 3 times in row. I contacted Tesla after a few days after purchase and they said they know about it and it will get fixed in the future but its been 4 months. I had my 4 year old in the car and this is a very concerning issue.

Pedestrian Warning System not available under 15 mph during forward. Service representative claimed sound only operating in reverse direction. I disagreed because a pedestrian walk in front of the tesla when pulling in to the street parking driving forward. Since the design of the system removed the option not to engage this safety feature, this should be fix, and to be meet or go beyond the standard of the industry around world.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
When my wife was driving the vehicle this morning by herself, she heard a noise behind her. It was the driver's side rear door unlocked itself and popped opened. The vehicle immediately made a warning sound that a door was opened while the vehicle was in motion. She pulled over and noticed that the driver's side rear door can be opened without touching the door handle. The door was opened, not locked or partially locked. It would be extremely dangerous if there was a passenger next to the door.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Driving down Highway 54, a divided highway in southern New Mexico with adaptive cruise control set at 85 miles an hour, speed limit 75, with automatic emergency braking disabled, my car slammed on the brakes so hard, that the tires were screeching, with multiple vehicles traveling similar speeds to me approaching from behind. I had to press the gas pedal immediately to resume speed. When I looked at my speedometer, it showed a decrease in speed instantly of approximately 7 to 10 mph. While using adaptive cruise control, this frequently happens, despite automatic emergency braking being disabled. There was nothing in the road ahead of me to cause this breaking to occur, to include no animals, no humans, no items in the road, no other vehicles in front of me For at least half a mile in front of me, And the other car was not even in my lane, and not crossing the center markings. I have made a report through my in car system, however Tesla refuses to address the situation at this time directly with my vehicle. I called to schedule an appointment so they could download the data from my car to see what happened in the event, and they refused to provide service, nor an explanation.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I was using Tesla's Traffic Aware Cruise Control. I was traveling at approximately 75mph on a highway. There was a car approximately 6 car lengths ahead of me traveling at approximately the same speed. There may have been cars next to me on both sides. For no apparent reason, the Tesla braked and the speed was reduced from 75mph to approximately 35mph. I disengaged the Traffic Aware Cruise Control and accelerated back to approximately 70mph. My safety was put at risk because the car behind me had to slam on their brakes and I assume the car behind them had to do the same. This was dangerous for my safety and the safety of the people in the car(s) behind me. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I experienced phantom braking on multiple occasions when using either the cruise control or the autopilot. I experience various levels of braking force, and am unable to discern any pattern. The vehicle exhibits this unexpected braking most days that I engage those functions. Yesterday, on an approximately 350 mile cross country trip, the vehicle phantom braked on probably 10 different occasions. Two of those were what I would consider maximum braking effort. If another vehicle was following closely at those times it is very likely I may have been rear ended.
