I was driving my Tesla Model Y on 02-26-2022 with my wife in the passenger seat. We were on our way to pick up our son and his two friends from the movie theater in Lincoln Square North, Bellevue Square, Washington. As we entered the Lincoln Square parking garage approximately around 6 30pm and turned into the narrow passage leading down to the several floors of parking lots at approximately 5 miles an hour, the Tesla on its own, and to my alarm and surprise suddenly picked up tremendous speed and went careening down the parking driveway and slammed to a stop into the concrete boundary of the Pillar on parking level P2. The distance travelled from start to finish was to the best of my very rough guesstimate 60ft to 70 ft. My repeated attempts at slamming the brakes did not stop the car. The airbags deployed. •With the impact the car was completely totaled •The front right wheel broke free and hit the rear fender of a car parked in the Parking Garage in P2. - No one in the parking garage was impacted My wife was in great pain and very shaken. She was helped out of the car by a good Samaritan. Lincoln Square security reached us almost immediately. We called 911 and the fire brigade and police came to the accident site within minutes. The police inspected the vehicle and filed a case report. Post the accident, I took my wife to the ER. She was badly bruised with the impact of the air bags and seat belt restraint. We continue to get treated to manage the pain and the bruising. The experience was a horrific one and my wife has been badly impacted …it will take time for her to begin driving again. We have not been contacted by Tesla regarding this accident as of March 9, 2023.

Periodically while using cruise control, most often on toll lanes with a different speed limit than the non-toll lanes, the car slows down rapidly and unpredictably. There are no warnings, and the braking is can be quite considerable (10-15 mph). This only happens when using cruise control.

I was driving on the freeway going 70 mph with adaptive cruise control enabled, and on two occasions the car braked quite strongly even though there were no cars in front of me. The first time it may have been because the freeway led into a curve, and the second time the car was headed into a tunnel.

Auto wiper doesn't turn on for low or medium. Defrost doesn't clear windshield in bad weather conditions. Above conditions make it difficult to operate in bad weather conditions due to poor visibility. As per manufacture, everything working as designed but problem exists.

This has been an ongoing problem with our car. While using cruise control it will randomly slam on the brakes for no reason. Nothing is around us it just instantly takes the car from 75 to 60 without warning. It happened multiple times to us over the past few days. Luckily I am nervous about using cruise control in this car so I had my foot on the gas but it did happen with a semi behind us. I was able to manually correct the problem myself quickly but it could have been very bad. These cars are going to kill someone if Tesla doesn't fix this problem soon. So far they have not cared about fixing this problem at all.
