Tesla, Inc.
Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
We purchased a 2024 Tesla Model Y approximately one month ago. We have experienced multiple occurrences (10-15) when Traffic Adaptive Cruise Control was engaged. Our car suddenly braked for no apparent reason. Last night, while traveling at 65 mph, on a four lane major highway, it happened again, nearly causing a rear end collision. We are hesitant to use cruise control because this feature (T.A.C.C.) is built into cruise, no way to separate it. After researching online, we discovered this is not a new or unusual event and has been reported by hundreds if not thousands of Tesla owners, dating back at least 3-4 years (if not longer). There are no warnings prior to the event. The car suddenly slams on brakes in what seems to be a “panic stop.” We understand a record of these occurrences are recorded and available from Tesla at your request. We have registered a complaint with Tesla as well.
