Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
On the freeway with auto steer and adaptive cruise control on. I experienced 3 phantom breaking incidents over the last two weeks. The car suddenly drops in speed about 10-20 mph before I can catch it and turn off cruise control and accelerate back to the right speed. It’s super dangerous. We live in WA where it rains a lot and our car was delivered without any ultra sonic sensors. This was a big issue for me because we didn’t get a lot of the features I was expecting and they told me it would be fixed with full vision eventually. I think it’s false advertising since the test drives and a lot of things that sold me on the car were not there when I got mine. The breaking problem could easily cause crashes for us and is a big safety risk.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While driving on the expressway, I had the cruise control set at about 72 mph. The car to my right went to change lanes but then saw me and rectified; my car automatically applied the brakes hard without me even touching anything. I was lucky that the car behind me was far enough that it didn’t hit me. However, this is a safety hazard for me and others as I couldn’t control the breaks at all. It also caught me by surprise since I did t know it was going to do that.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
Park collision warning is defective. I have learned that Tesla has disabled Park Assist on this vehicle and on Model 3/Y manufactured after October 2022 despite still advertising this functionality in the current user manual. This is because they have transitioned from ultrasonic sensors to a purely camera based system. However, their camera based software has not been enabled for park assist. As a result of this, I had a minor impact while parking due to expecting an audible 'beep' or screen indication of distance from objects, as I have had in my prior tesla. However, I received no such warning. Also, Tesla poorly communicated to users, many of whom have had this functionality in prior teslas, that this functionality has been disabled. In speaking with Tesla Service, I was informed that Tesla has disabled park assist until a software update will be available. However, until the software update is made available, this is a safety defect that should be communicated through a recall to all owners.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
On January 13th, 2023 we were waiting for green light on an intersection, 2nd in place. The car in front of us started moving on green light for a left turn, and suddenly it slowed down as a result of another car coming in the opposite direction. Our Tesla Model Y didn't recognized the situation and crashed into it. The automatic emergency braking didn't actuate and also the Forward collision warning didn't alert. The low speed collision avoidance also failed to act. A police report was filed because of the accident.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
There was a spontaneous blowout of a rear tire made by Continental. Thankfully I was not hurt while driving at 75 on a highway. I had to tow and replace the tire at discount. There was blowout from sidewall with no evidence of other damage or cause of it. I have kept the tire as evidence. I noticed there is a safety recall on very similar Continental tires. I am attaching the pictures and video of the tire and the note from Discount tire professionals that nothing was found inside the tire. I wonder if these continental tires also need to be on recall list.
