2021 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

In Traffic Aware Cruise Control (aka Autopilot) car randomly changes the maximum set speed. This has caused a dangerous dramatic slowing of the car when highway driving. Car should not change speed setting without human input. I have video of this occurring.

Vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer and they have advised it has been completed/fixed but it's been in more than four times within the last 12 months.

The contact owns a 2021 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stopped without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 1,600.

The car stopped suddenly in the middle of the street. By the grace of G-d, this happened on a quiet street because we decided to take a detour and could have instead been on the freeway! We were with our 3 young children (all in carseats). We could not restart the car after it stopped, and there was no warning it was going to stop. We were not using autopilot.

My Model Y applied the brakes suddenly when it was in Adaptive Cruise Control while I was driving in the interstate at 75 mph. This caused the vehicle to decelerate very abruptly. There was no vehicle in front of me and no obvious debris in the road. This happened several times on a trip from California to Kansas and back. On one occasion , I had just pulled back into the right lane after passing several tractor trailer rigs going 70 mph. I had to tromp on the accelerator to avoid being rear-ended.

When i do a full trip level charge on the Tesla Y at home, I leave the house and start down a hill on the way to work. When I brake, the brakes chatter severely and do not slow the car. I pump the brakes and it happens again, pump the brakes and they start working. This has happened numerous times with a full trip charge. it does not happen with a 70% charge. I feel that this is very dangerous and could easily cause an accident if braking is required. I attempted to contact Tesla, there is no easy way to report this problem. So, this is now in your court. Thanks for looking into this. Thomas Cox

Phantom Breaking. On Saturday -12/3/22, around 3.50 PM CST en route to Arlington on HWY 360, I experienced phantom breaking twice in quick succession. I was driving on autopilot at 70MPH and suddenly the car applied brakes and it was very scary to me and all my family. After the second event, I stopped using the pilot and drove with manual control.

I was in a stop and go traffic (car wash line), a sudden unintentional acceleration happened and resulted in a high impact accident
