2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

Driver seats heat up on its own. Windows go up and down on its own. Front collision sensor beeps with no cars nearby. Wipers issues. Back up camera issues.

Phantom braking multiple times at highway speeds while on a 3840 mile road trip. Autopilot including cruise control were on. The car would suddenly brake very hard. I don't know if it would have stopped completely or not because I always took control immediately.

During auto pilot or cruise control the vehicle suddenly brakes causing a sudden deceleration with no obstacles or obstruction! Phantom braking! Happens several times during a trip.

While traveling at highway speeds from Colorado to Texas and from Texas back to Colorado my car continuously slammed on the brakes without warning while the autopilot(cruise control) was engaged. There was no visible evidence or object in common for each event. What made this dangerous is any untied objects in the car would shift forward and the vehicles behind me would have to slam on their brakes as well. On a few occasions it changed lanes with no cars in front of me.

Speed control set to 65MPH car suddenly stops , with nothing in front of it. I needed to step on accelerator to have car move forward. This has happened many times. Safety, I have notified Tesla, They have not corrected problem.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 74 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle experienced phantom braking and decelerated to 20 MPH before returning to normal operation. The contact stated that the failure recurred three times. The contact stated that moments later with the cruise control still activated, the vehicle seemed to enter self-driving mode independently, briefly taking control of the steering wheel. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked erratically as if attempting to avoid a crash however, there was no other vehicles or objects nearby. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 14,600.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated after driving approximately 5 MPH through a puddle of water on a rainy day, the contact arrived at the residence and parked the vehicle. The contact became aware that the rear bumper and an unknown part underneath the bumper had detached and were hanging down. The contact also became aware that there was water intrusion into the rear of the vehicle and the floor carpet was wet. The vehicle was towed to a Tesla Service Center to be diagnosed. The Tesla Service Center informed the contact that the vehicle was missing parts that were not in stock. The Service Center referred the contact to a Tesla Collision Center for assistance. The contact was informed there would be a cost charged for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 7,700.

The proximity sensor alerts do not work with Tesla vision and resulted in a minor collision with adjacent vehicle while manually parking. With the removal of the ultrasonic sensors from the alert system, Tesla is not reliable anymore for distance warning and is responsible for accidents to to the false sense of confidence provided by that system

While on both adaptive cruise control and autopilot the vehicle suddenly and dangerously emergency braked on a clear and open freeway with no visible cars or obstacles in sight. Our safety was compromised as it caused us to almost lose control of the vehicle and terrified the passengers. Had there been any vehicles behind us it would have possibly caused a collision at high speed. Have not taken the vehicle back to the dealership yet but others I know with a Tesla have had similar experiences and the dealer has been unhelpful. The vehicle had only around 1200 miles on it and shows no other signs of issues or warnings.

While in simple autopilot mode (not full self driving) the vehicle had two episodes of phantom braking at freeway speeds of 80 mph. On one occasion it applied the brakes when a car passed me going in the same direction. On the other occasion there were no vehicles anywhere in the vicinity and it applied the brakes for no reason. I took the car to the Tesla service center and they said they are aware of the phantom braking issue but have no fix for it. They recommended I use the autopilot again and file a report at exactly the time it occurs again. So, basically risk getting killed so I can file a report for them for a problem they can't fix. The car brakes without any warning whatsoever. It's absurd, Tesla claims full self driving cars and they can't even get simple adaptive cruise control to work safely.
