    buena tarde quiero hacer un reporte ya que mi auto se frena bruscamente y peligrosamente en autopistas con el autopilot activo y sin ninguna razón se activa el freno de emergencia pudiendo ocasionarme la muerte a mi y mi familia, no hay razón para que el auto frene de esta forma por que no tengo autos al frente ni a los lados para que lo haga lo que si puede pasar es que un camion venga ah altas velocidades y me pueda impactar, necesito asistencia de verdad no me siento para nada seguro ya en el auto.

    When I am driving and go into Cruse Control my wipers continue to come on when it is not raining or there is no moisture. Sometimes they are going at full speed as if it is pouring rain. When this happens, I am forced to hit my brakes to disengage Cruse Control, then take my eyes off the road and find the wiper icon and turn them to the off position. This happens often and has almost caused me to drive off the road a few times. I took the car back to Tesla and was told when I engage Cruse Control the wipers are by default set to "Auto". Also they had seen this before and there was nothing they could do to fix the issue. They also said Tesla was working on the software to improve the wipers. Why am I forced to have my wipers set to "Auto" when I use Cruse? I should be able to set them to "Off" and they only come on when I activate them. If this continues on my car and others there will be accidents because of the distraction trying to turn the wipers off.

    Seat belts are hitting the door and seat. Model y car seat belts are not installed properly. As per Tesla regenerative braking supposed stop the car but car is rolling. As per Tesla tech regenerative doesn’t work until the battery is heated up. They never provided this to customers and this could result in accidents for people who rely on regenerative braking

    The contact owns a Tesla 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving at 65 MPH in the rain, the vehicle experienced phantom braking and stopped suddenly. The vehicle then veered to the right independently. The brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. The contact lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle spun out and crashed into a wall on the side of the road. The air bags deployed. The contact sustained bruises and significant pain to the left leg. The contact also sustained soreness of her fingers, arms and shoulders. The contact did not seek medical assistance. The contact’s sister transported her to her residence.

    While driving with Autopilot engaged at approximately 65 mph the car suddenly decelerated to less than 40 mph and then accelerated back to 65. This happened again within a minute of the first occurance and I turned off Autopilot but left cruise control on. It then happened again and I turned cruise control off. Fortunately there were no cars following close behind me nor was I following close behind another car. In the first two cases there were intermittant shadows across the road cast by trees along the road side. In the third there was a large black programmable traffic information sign 20 ft or so off the side of the road that had no information displayed. There was no damage to the car or injuries to the occupants. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. No warnings were displayed prior to the event.

    Interior Cabin Cameras prior to a certain build date around late May, for all models and trims, do not have the necessary Infrared (IR) Leds to see driver at night/and or dark environments, leading to system to disengage due to “being blinded or covered” if a user has their car in the FSD beta testing software. This issue was reproduced by the Mobile Service Technician and then replaced accordingly, with the new Interior Cabin Camera Fixture with the IR Leds fully solving and correcting the error from before. Their part was not inspected by any agencies and error is displayed before ADAS system disengagement. This issue is also known and reproduced across many different people, with this replacement correcting the issue. Necessary action would involve ordering a retrofit for all cars with the old interior cabin camera to the new interior cabin camera.

    During a recent road trip, my TESLA 2022 MY experienced multiple "phantom braking" incidents. The worst one involved while driving at highway speed (77 MPH). On a clear day, with a dry road, with no traffic nearby, no shadows in the area, the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes. It was like it detected something in the road and jammed on the brakes. I used the accelerator to compensate, but, it tried to slow down for 20 seconds before resolving. My wife (passenger) has medical conditions that were exacerbated by being frightened. I also was frightened, which is dangerous while driving. If there was a vehicle behind us, there cold have been an accident. There was no warnings before, during, or after the incident. Multiple people online have described their situation. It is exactly the experience that I have had with my vehicle.

    First my car was having issues charginging at the charge stations. Then as soon as that issue occurred, I had to replace the car battery. Then I noticed that the windows would randomly retract while I was driving my vehicle. My child had pointed out that his window was down, when he did not roll it down. Then I noticed some leakage from underneath my vehicle. My main concern of fluids leaking from my vehicle was my main concern. The Tesla dispatcher confirmed that concern by stating that fluids should not be leaking from my vehicle. When he started accusing me of having a car accident that caused me to be even more concerned. He told me that the Tesla service center on 1100 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, Ca. would find out if I did have an accident by running a diagnostics. When I had my car towed to the Tesla service center, their main concern was a hole in my tire and their professional opinion was to just patch up the tire and not replace the damaged product. Crystal, a representative from the Service center said that she would address the main concern of the leakage which she never did. She told me that my car was ready for pickup. I was again confused because she never addressed my main concern. Then I asked what I was paying for and she simply said that it was on my estimate and that it’s a patch for my tire. She was very adamant about me picking up my car before the Service Center closed at 5:30 but told me at the last minute to do so. She did not explain the details of the leakage until I inquired about it. I did not receive the diagnostics that were promised to me by your Tesla dispatcher. Her explanation to my main concern was, “ No leak was detected under the car so just recommend monitoring and definitely taking a pic when it happens. If the leak is by my left front tire, it’s more likely to be my AC and can be normal.” That did not make me feel like Tesla’s Supplier Code of Conduct was being followed. Now I am being told that the only liquid coming fro

    The front passenger seat airbag does not properly arm when occupied by an adult female weighing between 120-125 pounds. According to the vehicle's Owners Manual, it should arm at any weight in excess of 100 pounds. There is an indicator on the main display that clearly displays when the passenger airbag is armed and when it is unarmed. This is an intermittent issue, occurring more than 50% of the time the seat is occupied. The best we can do to characterize the behavior is as follows: 1) The passenger airbag is more likely to arm correctly if the passenger gets into the car at the same time as the driver. 2) It is less likely to arm correctly if the passenger gets in after the driver has started the car and/or driven it a bit. Two examples: Driver gets in to set the temp or navigation before a trip and passenger gets in a few minutes later, or driver retrieves car from a parking place and then drives a short distance to pick up the passenger. In both cases, the airbag is unlikely to arm correctly. 3) Even after a successful drive (in which the airbag armed), say to the grocery store, it is unlikely to arm when the driver and passenger get back in together a few minutes later. In all cases above, the longer it is driven in a single trip, the more likely it is to randomly arm/disarm itself multiple times during that trip. By failing to correctly and consistently arm when occupied by a 120-pound adult passenger, it leaves said passenger unprotected in case of an accident. Tesla Service performed static, calibrated-weight tests, and confirmed that it takes greater than 125 pounds to consistently arm the front passenger airbag. They have replaced the passenger seat twice so far, and claimed that the most recent seat installed passed the 100-pound test, but the issue persists. The car was serviced for this issue on November 28th, and again from November 23 to December 7. This issue remains to this date (December 19).
