Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
This isn't another case of the Auto Pilot being engaged and the driver not paying attention. I was driving, in the rain, on a normal road surface, with both hands on the wheel. The car attempted to steer away and out of my lane when there wasn't an obstacle or any other hazard near me. My hand went from the 10 and 2 o'clock positions to the 11 and 3 o'clock position before it straightened back out. Because of this abrupt movement that the car made, the rear end of the car lost traction and spun around on me before the car came to a stop. Fortunately, no one else was hit during this accident. By looking at the Dashcam video, the car does show brakes were applied before spinning out of control but this wasn't by my input. I feel that the car made a descision for me that I had no control of. The car was not on Auto Pilot but yet still steered for me. Accident report indicates no issues with road surface, no speeding, and no citations.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Car randomly slams on the brakes while cruise control is active. Happen most frequently mid-day while the sun is out. Most frequent when coming over and overpass or small hill on the interstate. ~5 time in a day and of travel. Brake are apply and vehicle slows from 80 to sometime as slow as 60 in a couple seconds. No visible hazards or vehicle on the road at the time. Very scary and dangerous. Contacted Tesla about it and they said a software update would fix it, still happening since I purchase last June and reported in July.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Phantom braking with Autopilot (adaptive cruise) engaged. 8 hard braking incidents on 300 mile trip. 3 hard braking incidents on the return. Not all incidents can be explained by shadows, bridges or other vehicles. Braking occurred without warning on the interstate with near maximum brake being applied by the vehicle. It is very dangerous to pass a vehicle, have another car trailing you, and then have then have maximum braking with no warning or reason. The incident was reported to Tesla service, but Tesla provided no immediate solution. They stated that the software would improve over time.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I was driving my Tesla Model Y on 02-26-2022 with my wife in the passenger seat. We were on our way to pick up our son and his two friends from the movie theater in Lincoln Square North, Bellevue Square, Washington. As we entered the Lincoln Square parking garage approximately around 6 30pm and turned into the narrow passage leading down to the several floors of parking lots at approximately 5 miles an hour, the Tesla on its own, and to my alarm and surprise suddenly picked up tremendous speed and went careening down the parking driveway and slammed to a stop into the concrete boundary of the Pillar on parking level P2. The distance travelled from start to finish was to the best of my very rough guesstimate 60ft to 70 ft. My repeated attempts at slamming the brakes did not stop the car. The airbags deployed. •With the impact the car was completely totaled •The front right wheel broke free and hit the rear fender of a car parked in the Parking Garage in P2. - No one in the parking garage was impacted My wife was in great pain and very shaken. She was helped out of the car by a good Samaritan. Lincoln Square security reached us almost immediately. We called 911 and the fire brigade and police came to the accident site within minutes. The police inspected the vehicle and filed a case report. Post the accident, I took my wife to the ER. She was badly bruised with the impact of the air bags and seat belt restraint. We continue to get treated to manage the pain and the bruising. The experience was a horrific one and my wife has been badly impacted …it will take time for her to begin driving again. We have not been contacted by Tesla regarding this accident as of March 9, 2023.

I was driving my Tesla Model Y on 02-26-2022 with my wife in the passenger seat. We were on our way to pick up our son and his two friends from the movie theater in Lincoln Square North, Bellevue Square, Washington. As we entered the Lincoln Square parking garage approximately around 6 30pm and turned into the narrow passage leading down to the several floors of parking lots at approximately 5 miles an hour, the Tesla on its own, and to my alarm and surprise suddenly picked up tremendous speed and went careening down the parking driveway and slammed to a stop into the concrete boundary of the Pillar on parking level P2. The distance travelled from start to finish was to the best of my very rough guesstimate 60ft to 70 ft. My repeated attempts at slamming the brakes did not stop the car. The airbags deployed. •With the impact the car was completely totaled •The front right wheel broke free and hit the rear fender of a car parked in the Parking Garage in P2. - No one in the parking garage was impacted My wife was in great pain and very shaken. She was helped out of the car by a good Samaritan. Lincoln Square security reached us almost immediately. We called 911 and the fire brigade and police came to the accident site within minutes. The police inspected the vehicle and filed a case report. Post the accident, I took my wife to the ER. She was badly bruised with the impact of the air bags and seat belt restraint. We continue to get treated to manage the pain and the bruising. The experience was a horrific one and my wife has been badly impacted …it will take time for her to begin driving again. We have not been contacted by Tesla regarding this accident as of March 9, 2023.
