2019 TESLA MODEL 3 Complaints

WHILE IN REVERSE PARALLEL PARKING ON A CITY STREET, VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ONCE PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE PETAL WAS REMOVED AND DID NOT STOP ACCELERATION UNTIL BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VEHICLE IMPACTED CURB, BUT DID NOT SUSTAIN DAMAGE OUTSIDE OF SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES TO THE WHEELS. VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK, REMOVING THE BREAK, REAPPLY THE BREAK, PLACING IN DRIVE, AND SLOWLY RELEASING THE BREAK.

WHEN I STOPPED ON PARKING LOT CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OVER THE CURB INTO BUILDING.

THE CAUSE OF THE "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" IN TESLA VEHICLES IS A DESIGN FLAW IN WHICH THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND NOT OFFSET AS IN OTHER VEHICLES. WHILE TESLA ALLEGES IT IS USER ERROR, THIS ERROR IS CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN. 1. AS YOU BEGIN TO STOP OR PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT (VEHICLE IN MOTION TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT), IT IS QUITE EASY TO PUSH THE WRONG PEDAL, OR PUSH BOTH PEDALS, CAUSING ACCELERATION. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR DRIVERS WITH LARGE FEET. 2. OCCURANCE IS RELATIVELY RARE, AND CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MINOR INJURIES. 3. USER REMEDIES INCLUDE NOT WEARING SHOES WHILE DRIVING.

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE IN TESLA MODE 3 IN OUR PARKING LOT. I WAS PARKING BETWEEN 2 CARS ON MY RIGHT. SO, WAS REALLY SLOW. WHILE TURNING THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT A HIGH SPEED. SINCE, I WAS TURNING, THE CAR ROTATED AT THE HIGH SPEED AND IN THE PROCESS MY CAR HIT CAR ON MY LEFT, 3 CARS ON MY FRONT. THERE WAS SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND A FLAT TIRE. FORTUNATELY, NO PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED. WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED, ALL SYSTEMS STOPPED FUNCTIONING.

WHEN PARKING THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE DRIVER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL CAUSING THE CAR TO RUN INTO A BUILDING AND CAUSE DAMAGE. DESPITE THE SPEED, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

HERE IS A MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/61748319/PHOTOS THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN TO BITS. THE UPPER BALL JOINT HAS POPPED OUT OF ITS SOCKET. THE LOWER BALL JOINT HAS SNAPPED ITS STEM. THERE IS VERY LITTLE IMPACT DAMAGE TO THAT AREA OF THE CAR, NOTHING THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE SUSPENSION FALLING TO BITS LIKE THAT. THESE TESLA SUSPENSIONS ARE BADLY DESIGNED AND BADLY MANUFACTURED. IT IS ENTIRELY PROBABLE THAT THE RECENT CRASH OF A MODEL 3 IN LONG BEACH WHICH SEVERELY INJURED A PEDESTRIAN WAS CAUSED BY A SUSPENSION FAILURE. THE WHEEL ON THAT LONG BEACH CRASH CAR LOOKS BADLY WHOMPY.

CAR TURNING AND PULL UP TO THE GARAGE DRIVE WAY, IT SUDDENLY UNINTENDED ACCELERATE AND CRASH INTO THE GARAGE GATE. (VIDEOS AVAILABLE)

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN DRIVEWAY WAS I WAS PULLING INTO CARPORT. SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO PREVENT IMPACT INTO CARPORT WALL.

I AM FEMALE SAFE DRIVER WITH CLEAN DRIVING RECORDS, MY TESLA WAS THIRD CAR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON DEC 19TH IN THE CITY STREET, AND ALL OF SUDDEN, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT TRIGGERED UNINTENDED SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION THAT RESULTED IN ACCIDENT WITH TWO CARS AHEAD OF ME, DAMAGED ALL 3 VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE, I PUSHED THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY & PARKED BEFORE ALL AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DEPLOYED. I TRIED TO PROVE MY POINT TO THE INSURANCE THAT ITS NOT MY FAULT BUT ITS A CAR THAT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO PROBABLY SOME KIND OF NIGHTLY AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPDATE OR A MECHANICAL PROBLEM BUT INSURANCE DIDN'T AGREE AND FORCED ME TO AGREE THAT I DID IT !

THERE WERE TWO INCIDENTS WHERE I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY IN CITY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR ALL THE SUDDEN ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, AS I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I WAS NOT IN AUTOPILOT.
