Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Phantom Braking: On our trip from Billings, MT to Minneapolis and back, we experienced 13 hard phantom braking incidents on I94. The first 3 were extremely dangerous and anxiety-inducing. We were very fortunate we did not have following traffic or we likely would have caused a collision at high speed. After that, I used the cruise control sparingly and only when we did not have following drivers. Still, we were anxious whenever I engaged cruise control and every time the car braked hard for no apparent reason. I am well-aware that Tesla owners report this problem regularly to the NTSB, and I keep expecting the company or the Agency to do something about it. It will kill people. We would be grateful for some action here.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
I bought this car on March 2023. The windshield blades won't stop running on auto. I kept it turned off, but when I engage the adaptive cruise control, it goes back on and I can't turn it off. I made a service request on May 10 and Tesla cancelled the appointment saying the issue was resolved because it was a software issue, not a hardward issue. I was advised that wait for over the air update. I have had 3 over the air updates and the issues continuous. This is no my first tesla and this was never a software problem with my previous car. I also have another tesla Y 2021 that doesn't have the problem either. I have contacted Tesla again and they don't have a solution. One of the main reason I keep buying teslas is because I have problems with my arms and need to use the adaptive cruise control with lane centring to easy my arm pain. It is a feature I bought and it has to work otherwise I don't want this car. what seems to be easy it is become a problem. I always happen to get disconnected when talking to people at tesla. They must really have phone problems.

Braking. Yes, can be inspected upon request. Phantom braking for no apparent reason occurred at least 12 times in each direction on a long-distance trip on 2- and 4-lane roads on May 15 & 17 and also a trip in April, both in Autopilot and TACC modes, with nothing but the open road ahead, very little traffic, although a couple times when nearing the top of a hill. Driving at 70 mph on 2-lane roads and 80 mph on 4-lane roads. Concern of being rear-ended if passing a vehicle so wait long time to return to driving lane. Fortunately in standard driving no one was following closely to cause concern. One time when I was passing a semi, when I was almost even with the cab. No contact with dealer or service center as they are 240 miles away from my home or inspection by others. Unknown if there were on-screen messages due to watching the road instead.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Incidents of phantom braking: We took our brand new Tesla model Y on a road-trip from Saint Helena CA to Scottsdale AZ and back. We had several incidents of the car slamming on the brakes while in cruise control due to mistakes in recognizing an actual reason to brake. May 11, in Arizona on highway 60, single lane road, we were in the right lane heading east when a large white pickup approached in the left lane. Our car mistook the approaching vehicle as a potential collision and slammed the brakes. This occurred a second time with another approaching vehicle at which point we ceased using cruise control. May 17 return trip on highway 10 in the morning, as I was driving with cruise control on, two lane highway, I approached a swale in the road with a change in pavement color. Gray concrete color contrasted with the blacktop patches in the upslope of the swale and the car slammed on the brakes. Same day, same highway, I was in the left lane having passed a slower vehicle. There were two cars behind me, waiting to pass. I put on the right turn signal and began to move into the right lane. There were a series of white jersey barriers on either side of the road. The car mistook these as a potential collision, slammed on the brakes and pushed me back toward the left lane. I applied the accelerator and forced it back into the right lane, avoiding a collision with the cars behind me. May 18 driving north on highway 5, multi lane highway and as my wife was driving and crested a hill there was a wire hanging across the road. In the center of the wire was a camera or some other device. While the wire was at least 6 feet over us, the car mistook it for an obstruction and slammed on the brakes.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle has issues correctly identifying forward collisions. There are moments the car produces "phantom forward collision warnings" of objects or people not in the same lane (such as a pedestrian on a sidewalk or a car far outside of a safe stopping distance. However, there are other instances where I would expect a forward collision warning and receive none at all. This is exasperated by environmental factors and road conditions. "Tesla Vision" with camera-only detection seems to be highly unreliable based on the environmental factors (such as amount of daylight) or road conditions (speed bumps, construction areas, etc).
