AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle is less than a year old and still under warranty. The dashboard display is showing the following error message: “front passenger safety restraint system fault”. Tesla informed me that the occupant classification safety system filter module has failed and must be replaced. Tesla has agreed to fix the component under warranty, but they informed me they could not schedule a repair until October 31. It is my understanding that damage to this component could prevent the airbags from functioning properly during an accident, so I am concerned that the car is not safe to operate with passengers. I have asked Tesla repeatedly if the vehicle is safe to operate and they refuse to answer the question.

Potential Consequences:
I was driving home and turned the wheel to the left to back up into my driveway when I heard a loud grinding noise. The car came to a complete stop and wouldn’t move forward or reverse. I got out of the car walked around and saw two large bolts laying on the floor. Bent down to look under the car and saw the lower control arm on the right front laying on the ground. Apparently, the two bolts had come loose somehow and the control arm dropped. Thankfully, it occurred in front of my house and not on the highway, which I happened to be on five minutes prior.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Adaptive cruise control frequently rapidly decelerates (phantom braking). This can occur on empty roads in excellent weather conditions, but happens every time I have used the cruise control. The rapidity of the deceleration creates a significant risk of being rear ended. I have stopped using cruise control as it is too dangerous. This has been a noted problem on multiple Tesla models for multiple years. So far Tesla or NHTSA has not addressed the problem.

We tried to control the vehicle to avaoid crashing into the porch of the infront apartment and steared the speeding vehicle and the vehicle hit the pillar of the aparement and finally came to halt few meters away in the parking lot as the front right wheel broke. 1. The ADAS Automatic emergency breaking seems failed 2. Forward collission warning seems not working 3. The safety of the driver and the passenger were at risk while the collission happened 4. I am not sure if the similar incidents happened or can be reproduced by the dealer/manufacturer. 5. Vehicle components inspected by the Tesla collission center but no software logs inspected and they said that they cannot get the device crash/event logs. 6. At the incident/while the incident was underway we saw few message that displayed "Automatic emergency brake is not avaiilable" and "Air bags are not available"
Corrective Action:
We were about the park in the marked parking lane and the vehicle unintedly accellerated, the brakes did not work and we saw message "Automatic emergency brake not available" and Air bags not available. We tried to control the vehicle to avaoid crashing into the porch of the infront apartment and steared the speeding vehicle and the vehicle hit the pillar of the aparement and finally came to halt few meters away in the parking lot as the front right wheel broke. 1. The ADAS Automatic emergency breaking seems failed 2. Forward collission warning seems not working 3. The safety of the driver and the passenger were at risk while the collission happened 4. I am not sure if the similar incidents happened or can be reproduced by the dealer/manufacturer. 5. Vehicle components inspected by the Tesla collission center but no software logs inspected and they said that they cannot get the device crash/event logs. 6. At the incident/while the incident was underway we saw few message that displayed "Automatic emergency brake is not avaiilable" and "Air bags are not available"

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
While driving straight on a 2 lane divided highway, the Traffic Assisted Cruise Control decided it needed to slow itself down significantly to 15 MPH under the speed limit (posted speed limit was 65 MPH). There were no vehicles in front, behind, or beside my vehicle. The breaking occurred when it came across a line break where cars from the opposite side of track could turn left onto a service highway but no one was in that divide nor in the turn lane. There was no warning or any obvious indication that the vehicle should harshly slow down for any safety reason, where in fact is there was a vehicle behind me, it could cause a crash. I made a request for Tesla to repair the vehicle, but in my attached photos, you can see that they admit to the issue being software related and insisting that it is an unrepairable problem until a software update can be issued.

Potential Consequences:
Over last several weeks, I noticed a pungent smell in the cabin on my 2023 Tesla Model Y. The smell is intermittent but has me concerned. I left voice messages at the local Tesla service center but they have not reached back out to me. The Tesla app complaint directed me to the Tesla service center. I would like to get a response back from the manufacturer as they have long wait times on the phone and are not replying back to the messages

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
We were on the freeway with cruise control on and the car slammed on the brakes. It automatically slowed 15mph while in front of another vehicle. The cause was that it hallucinated a person in the lane of the road, I could see the "person" on the screen of my car. However there was no person or hazard in the way.
