2022 TESLA MODEL 3 Complaints

Just bought the in November and I experienced the phantom braking few times on the street without cruse control active and also on the freeway with and without autopilot on, on the street almost got rear ended.

The car regularly brakes unexpectedly at highway speeds when the cruise control is engaged. It is behaving as if it detects a car in front and is trying to avoid a front end collision but there is no object there. I wonder if some debris or something flies in front of the camera and the car interprets it as another vehicle.

Driving 45mph on an expressway. The wind blew apple blossoms off the trees beside the road. The posed no danger nor did they cause a visibility problem for me. The cruise control slammed on the brakes and I was nearly rear-ended.

Phantom braking on the highway. No other vehicles in my lane or the lanes next me. Vehicle slammed on brakes and warning chime sounded

When on two lane roads and adaptive cruise control is engaged, the car ghost brakes when larger on coming vehicles are detected. This sudden braking could cause other cars to hit my car from behind. This occurs frequently. I reported this to Tesla during a service visit and they did something that didn't help. They did say to report back if it didn't help. I'm reluctant to use the adaptive cruise control.

When using cruise control or Autopilot the car will all of a sudden slam on the brakes. This has the potential of being rear ended by the car behind me. This is usually when a larger truck is approaching in the on coming lane and I suspect the Tesla thinks it is about to hit it. This happens so often that I cannot even use the cruise control feature.

2022 Tesla Model 3 experiences sudden and unwarranted braking. Vehicle will use Autopilot and suddenly brake on roads. Commonly known as “Phantom Braking.”

I was travelling on a 2-lane road at 50 mph using the car's autopilot (adaptive cruise control). As a pick-up truck approached me in the opposite lane, the car beeped loudly and applied the emergency braking at great force, reducing the car's rate of speed from 50 to 25 mph.

Car randomly brakes while the autopilot feature is turned on, it has also happened while just in normal cruise control. Car will brake unexpectedly even in broad daylight on a straight road with no other vehicles around.
