2023 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

We had 2 phantom breaking occurrences while in Autopilot traveling at 75 MPH within 10 minutes. The first time we were passing a pickup with trailer on the right and the in the second a pickup was passing us on the left. in both cases there were no other vehicles or objects on the road in front of us. If there was a vehicle following close behind us there could have been an accident. We did not come to a complete stop but I am not sure if that was because of Autopilot or my reaction. There were no other warnings.

Vehicle brakes suddenly while driving even when there are no cars or obstacles of any kind in front or even in the distance. This has led to several events where I was almost rear-ended because of how strongly and violently the car was breaking on the highway. Last example was on March 5th 2023 at 1:19 p.m. while driving on interstate 90 in Ohio going westbound, there were no cars in front or in the distance in the lane. The car suddenly applied the brakes in a very strong fashion in the middle of the highway. There were at least five examples just like this one which happened prior.

I was driving on East on I-8 and was East of Yuma, AZ. I was using the enhanced auto pilot feature. I was traveling 70 miles per hour (5 below the speed limit) There were no autos in front of me and nothing on the shoulder. There was a semi truck behind me (I am not sure how far back.). My car suddenly put on the brakes and rapidly slowed down. (I am not what speed) The de-acceleration was so severe that my coffee cup too flew onto the floor. The semi truck was able to move to the right lane but blew his horn loudly. It was extremely scary and dangerous for both of us. I have done some research and this seems to be a problem that many Tesla owners are experiencing. This issue needs to be fixed immediately.

Hello, I was taking my car reverse and my car door was open slightly and it hit my garage door, and that was my mistake. My only problem here is, the driver side rear window broke and it broke into MILLIONS OF PIECES and shattered all over inside.the car. Not sure what the technology is, and it should not break into millions of tiny, tiny pieces. It's a brand new car and struggling to clean it because they are no minute. Thanks

The Tesla Model Y Blind Spot warning system does not accurately detect the position of cars in the lanes next to the car. The display shows the car as behind the vehicle while it is actually at the rear quarter panel. There is only an audio warning if the turn signal is activated. The car is in the blind spot yet the system does not warn the driver. I took the car in for an adjustment to cameras and Tesla said they are functioning as designed. Tesla removed the radar sensors that aid in parking at low speeds. This was intended to be replaced with Tesla Vision. Tesla Vision functionality is not yet available. Although a low-speed collision with an object may not result in injury to a person, it is a safety feature that has been removed. The windshield wiper's speed cannot be adjusted or even started on the stock. To change speed or turn on the wipers you must look away from the road, locate the control panel and then select the desired speed. This clearly is a safety hazzard.

On February, Friday 17th, 2023 around 10:15pm on 287 exit ramp towards rte 78 west , a truck with a flatbed suddenly went from right to left but the car failed to detect that and we almost collide into the back of it. Collision was avoided only by driver reaction. All collision warning systems failed to detect the situation. Still this is the same behavior we have seen since we bought the car. There is no awareness of close proximity objects. Tesla is acknowledging that critical ultrasound sensors were removed from the car.

Driving 70mph on the highway, car abruptly clunked and three warning messages appeared. APP_W009 Automatic Emergency Braking is disabled; DIF_A062 Power reduced; and BMS_a170 Acceleration and top speed recuded. Car immediately dropped to 40mph and gave me enough time to exit the freeway to the shoulder. After putting in park, the car would no longer shift into any gear. Soft reset and full reset, exiting and re-entering the car didn't fix the issue. Tow required. Failure of rear motor (inverter) was cited in the service center. Seems to be a common issue across Model 3 (as far back as 2017), Model Y (deliveries in Nov/Dec 2022) and Model S (the last 3-4 years). Very dangerous if someone had hit us when it decelerated hard on the highway. Traveling with a 6yr old in a car seat. Only 500 miles on the car.

When using the cruise control function (not hands free) we have experienced multiple disconnects from the cruise control which puts the car into a sudden breaking condition slowing the car until the cruise control reconnects automatically. On a recent road trip we narrowly avoided a serious accident when this happened and we had a big rig truck behind us. We reported this to Tesla and their emailed reply said the cause was "map data, speed limit data, GPS position inaccuracies or predictive position inaccuracies." We drove over 2,500, mostly interstate highways, and in our opinion, none of their reasons for this condition apply to what happened to us. We set up an appointment with Tesla to look at the car but their email response seemed to indicate that as we drive the car more, the system will correct itself. In our opinion, this apparent software glitch is serious and can have fatal consequences. We have spoken with other Tesla owners and they are also aware of this chronic problem. We are reporting this matter in hopes that it will be investigated and promptly correctly before lives are lost.

The contact owns a 2023 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while his wife was driving in a parking lot, the vehicle independently accelerated as she depressed the brake pedal. The contact's wife crashed into another parked vehicle due to the failure. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact's wife experienced mental trauma due to the accident but did not need medical attention. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with a safety feature known as "Sentry Mode", which recorded the movements of the vehicle. The contact stated that the feature recorded the movements except for the failure and the collision. The vehicle was towed to a Tesla service center where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the contact was not provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 363.

Driving on highway with cruise control activated. No traffic around. Experienced phantom braking taking me from about 80mph to 65mph before I was able to react. Had this happened in traffic there is a good chance i would have been rear ended. No notifications or emergency lights appeared on my dash.
