2023 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

Automatic emergency braking occurs without cause at high speeds on flat divided Hwy. Happened on multiple trips 5 or more times in a 3 hour drive on 3 different highways in NM. Tesla service has addressed the issue twice. said everything is working properly. Happens when Cruse control + auto steering are active.

1: While using cruise control, the car will apply emergency braking without cause or warning. I have learned that this is known as phantom braking. 2: Occupants in my car as we'll as anyone driving behind me are at risk of injury or death due to this issue. 3: The Tesla dealer determined there is no hardware issue. Stated further that a future software update may correct the problem and referred me to the users manual for limitations of the system. 4: The car has been serviced by the dealer without resolution. 5: No warnings or messages are executed by the car prior to the phantom breaking. *** Note *** At minimum there needs to be a warning that must be acknowledged by the driver whenever cruise control is activated like the warning messages post by some cars when activating a GPS system.

Vehicle steering lost power steering and the steering is stuck in straight position only while driving. Vehicle can travel only straight line forward or backward and cannot turn. Powering off and on did not help resolve the issue. Had to get the car towed to Tesla service.

Tesla removed the parking sensors and replaced them with a "Vision" system. My last Tesla has the parking sensors and the parking distance and chimes worked great. The new Vision system works rarely. I've run into stuff in the garage while parking, it doesn't sense walls, doesn't work in the rain, you have to wait for an extended period of time for it to "load" and it randomly doesn't work. You'll get a message saying something to the effect of Park Assist Unavailable. I've asked Tesla to address the issue but it's a problem I don't think they can solve as they are trying to get cameras to see where they don't have a field of view. In the image below I am about 18 inches from my garage door and it's not even being registered. The curb to the side is registering but not the giant wall behind me.

every time while driving at highway speed with cruise control enabled the car will decelerate or brake hard without anything in our path of travel for as far as the eye can see. this is a safety issue as the cars behind us may not be able to react fast enough to avoid hitting as our car brakes without cause.

It is known as phantom braking that many other people have reported. I bought this car for about two months and has drived for about 2000 miles. It has happend 3 threes to me. In all three cases, the car was on adaptive cruise control at about 70 miles per hour. There was no car within 200 yards. The car suddenly braked and the speed went down to 30 miles per hour in a couple of seconds. I had to intervene and cancel the adaptive cruise control.

The contact owns a 2023 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH with Self Driving feature activated, the vehicle experienced phantom braking and abruptly decelerated to 35 MPH. The contact stated that there was no vehicle or object in front of the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred several times. The contact stated that the initial failure occurred after a software update was remotely completed the day before. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500. The consumer stated the manufacture was notified on 04/17/23.

New Tesla Model Y brake failed and accelerated resulted in a serious crash within 2 hrs of taking delivery. I believe it is acceleration functioning and brake due to auto pilot feature. Vehicle will be available for inspection after 4 weeks. After taking delivery of new Tesla Y, we drove to temple. While parking car accelerated and lost control of the vehicle as brakes were not working. It hit the temple wall and when we tried to backup to get the car out of the crashed wall, it got even worse. It reversed in lightning speed and hit another car, run over the bushes and huge palm tree across the street and finally stopped. This terrifying experience caused huge mental trauma, multiple property damage, and financial hardship that we are dealing with right now. Fortunately, there were no injuries. We lost all the trust and confidence in Tesla. We are NOT confident of driving due to huge safety concern. It is a very important safety issue considering the customers at large. Tesla service has not worked on the diagnosis. We tried reaching out Tesla service to investigate the failure. There is no response from them and they keep cancelling the service appointment. On top of it, there is no appointment available in body shop for a month. This incident was reported to police. One observation was made during the incident where Auto pilot beta was displaying on the dash board monitor without invoking any self driving options.

We were driving at highway speeds in I-5 and had incidents of phantom braking on the car when it automatically slammed the brakes almost causing us to be rear ended.

The screen multiple times has glitches and froze. We weren’t able to use backup camera, turning lanes cameras or clearly see our screen. We couldn’t access any of the icons that allowed us to control any features of the car. It was like driving blind.
