2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

when using cruise control or autopilot the car will brake for no reason. Most often this will occur at highway speeds causing the car to decelerate at a dangerous rate. Yesterday I was driving at 68 mph and the car braked to under 30 mph in less than 2 seconds causing me to almost get rear ended by a semi truck. This will occur when there is no one else on the road in front of my car and no obstacles on the road. It seems to occur any time I use these features regardless of location or speed.This is very dangerous and has made both the cruise control and autopilot unusable on the vehicle.

Vehicle braking for no reason when using adaptive cruise control or autopilot. On a 485 mile trip on a 2 lane highway going one direction no oncoming traffic lanes and no vehicles close by vehicle would suddenly just slow down rapidly 20vto 30 moh. It did this 9 times until I just turned off cruise control.

In late February we were driving up California State Highway 5 at approximately 70-75 miles per hour. There were no cars within half a mile, and we had turned on adaptive cruise control. Suddenly, there was a strong brake applied for no apparent reason, which was very disturbing for the entire family. We have never turned on adaptive cruise control since. This appears to be an instance of "phantom breaking" according to our online research.

On a recent road trip we used cruise control for the first time and had multiple incidents of phantom braking. These were sudden application of brakes completely at random and repeated for no apparent reason.. We haven't used cruise control since due to the possible danger of getting rear ended. Apparently this has been reported for a year or more and currently is being nvestigated. We have had no word from Tesla warning us about this issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side seat belt failed to latch. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he was able to reach out to the manufacturer on the App and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 3,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A FOREIGN LODGED IN THE BELT LATCH.

Tesla adaptive cruise control requires user to put the windshield wipers to automatic functioning. However, the auto wipers have a high false positive detection rate, which leads to the wipers unnecessarily turning on while I'm driving. Even after exiting adaptive cruise control, the wipers stay on auto. This is extremely problematic because it makes me have my eyes + one one hand off of the wheel to turn the wipers off. Please put pressure on Tesla to remove faulty auto-wipers software from adaptive cruise control. It's dangerous and distracting.

When the adaptive cruise control is engaged, it will brake excessively for no known reason. It can reduce its speed very quickly sometimes by 10 to 15 mph causing the vehicle behind me to take drastic actions to avoid a collision. I have informed the manufacturer of this issue and told them it happens every day I drive the car, but they have done nothing except saying they are looking into the issue.

Autopilot Phantom Braking while using cruise control, adaptive speed control. Occurred 9 times on a single drive. Often with no other cars, or anything in sight - in Death Valley to be specific. Instant breaking would occur, sometimes drastic, at times might have brought car to a complete stop if I'd not taken over control. We are now very reluctant to even use cruise control. This occurs with either adaptive speed control or Enhanced Auto-pilot. FSD is not enabled.

I was driving West bound an the 91 Freeway, just about 1 miles East of the 241 Fasttrack at about 5:30 PM on 30 April 2022. The 241 Fasttrack was shut down for road work and the traffic was averaging about 4 miles and hour, but very stop and go traffic, not a smooth flow. I put the can into dynamic cruise control -- this was done by press down twice on the drive shifter on the right side of the steering wheel. I then took the car out of dynamic cruise control by pressing the drive shifter up once. But I much have forgot I did so as I press the drive shifetr up once again, which puts the can into reverse. I pressed the gas pedal and the car started going backward and I crashed into a vehicle -- I believed the car was in Drive, not Reverse. No one was hurt. My car was undamaged; his 2004 Toyota Corolla had some cracked paint and the left driver side bumper was push back about 3/8th on an inch. I paid the man $450 and he will contact me if he needs more. My complaint is this: the drive selector is being used for drive selection AND engaging and disengaging dynamic cruise control -- it may me to easy to make a mistake where the drive thinks he took it out of dynamic cruise control, but in fact put it into reverse. I do not think the same motion for turning off dynamic cruise control and putting the car in reverse should be on the some stick with the same motion. The only indication is a audible 'tone' when disengaging the dynamic cruise control, but road noise, cabin noise, radio music can be that tone less noticeable. I had the car on 'joe' mode which decreases the tone sound. I don't think 'joe' mode is a safe function as it makes critical sounds less noticeable. The dynamic cruise control sounds should not have to compete with the radio -- the radio should be silenced when the dynamic cruise control tones occur.

We were on the highway the power went out. The car did not have emergency brake . We could have gotten hit. We finally was able to stop on the shoulder with the driver not letting go off his foot pedal to keep the car from moving. We called Tesla and he wasn’t able to restart the car and yet he said the car has lots of power. The back door doesn’t open in an emergency as well
