STEERING
Potential Consequences:
We leased the brand new Model Y on Tuesday January 24th at Tesla, Rockville, MD. On Friday January 27th at approximately 4:30pm we were driving on RT773 Riverside Parkway in the right hand lane and the steering wheel came totally out of the column with wires and electronic exposed. I was able to slow the car down and the car went up on the curb. I kept trying to put the steering wheel back in the column and somehow managed to get it in enough to drive home which was 5 miles away. All of the electronics did not work. Tesla came and towed the car the same evening. There was no working warning. Tesla towed the car and the next day on Saturday said the bolt to the steering column was loose and became dislodged.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
The USS Park Assist safety feature was eliminated from the vehicle without providing an alternative method or feature to monitor the front of the parked car in case an object or child was placed in front of the car after it was parked. The original USS Park Assist feature would detect this but the current Vision feature would not if the object or child is closer than 3 feet. It is irresponsible for a car manufacturer to eliminate a safety feature without providing a similar function as a substitute immediately. Just promising that this will come in the future should not be acceptable to the NHTSA. No problems have been recorded to date but this is just an accident waiting to happen. I'm asking the NHTSA to contact Tesla to require an immediate resolution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
We had 2 phantom breaking occurrences while in Autopilot traveling at 75 MPH within 10 minutes. The first time we were passing a pickup with trailer on the right and the in the second a pickup was passing us on the left. in both cases there were no other vehicles or objects on the road in front of us. If there was a vehicle following close behind us there could have been an accident. We did not come to a complete stop but I am not sure if that was because of Autopilot or my reaction. There were no other warnings.
Corrective Action:
We had 2 phantom breaking occurrences while in Autopilot traveling at 75 MPH within 10 minutes. The first time we were passing a pickup with trailer on the right and the in the second a pickup was passing us on the left. in both cases there were no other vehicles or objects on the road in front of us. If there was a vehicle following close behind us there could have been an accident. We did not come to a complete stop but I am not sure if that was because of Autopilot or my reaction. There were no other warnings.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on East on I-8 and was East of Yuma, AZ. I was using the enhanced auto pilot feature. I was traveling 70 miles per hour (5 below the speed limit) There were no autos in front of me and nothing on the shoulder. There was a semi truck behind me (I am not sure how far back.). My car suddenly put on the brakes and rapidly slowed down. (I am not what speed) The de-acceleration was so severe that my coffee cup too flew onto the floor. The semi truck was able to move to the right lane but blew his horn loudly. It was extremely scary and dangerous for both of us. I have done some research and this seems to be a problem that many Tesla owners are experiencing. This issue needs to be fixed immediately.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle brakes suddenly while driving even when there are no cars or obstacles of any kind in front or even in the distance. This has led to several events where I was almost rear-ended because of how strongly and violently the car was breaking on the highway. Last example was on March 5th 2023 at 1:19 p.m. while driving on interstate 90 in Ohio going westbound, there were no cars in front or in the distance in the lane. The car suddenly applied the brakes in a very strong fashion in the middle of the highway. There were at least five examples just like this one which happened prior.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR

Hello, I was taking my car reverse and my car door was open slightly and it hit my garage door, and that was my mistake. My only problem here is, the driver side rear window broke and it broke into MILLIONS OF PIECES and shattered all over inside.the car. Not sure what the technology is, and it should not break into millions of tiny, tiny pieces. It's a brand new car and struggling to clean it because they are no minute. Thanks

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
The Tesla Model Y Blind Spot warning system does not accurately detect the position of cars in the lanes next to the car. The display shows the car as behind the vehicle while it is actually at the rear quarter panel. There is only an audio warning if the turn signal is activated. The car is in the blind spot yet the system does not warn the driver. I took the car in for an adjustment to cameras and Tesla said they are functioning as designed. Tesla removed the radar sensors that aid in parking at low speeds. This was intended to be replaced with Tesla Vision. Tesla Vision functionality is not yet available. Although a low-speed collision with an object may not result in injury to a person, it is a safety feature that has been removed. The windshield wiper's speed cannot be adjusted or even started on the stock. To change speed or turn on the wipers you must look away from the road, locate the control panel and then select the desired speed. This clearly is a safety hazzard.
