2022 TESLA MODEL Y Complaints

While using adaptive cruise control, this vehicle intermittently breaks dramatically and swerves on its own without any indication of a possible collision. In fact, most of the time there are no vehicles even within sight of the vehicle. Occurs even on straight roads with no vehicles seen and no one in the area. Friday 02-11-2022 2300hrs - Sat 02-12-2022 0300 hrs. While driving in traffic any vehicles on the right or left are perceived as a threat and the vehicle breaks wildly.

Autopilot feature hard braked twice suddenly while driving on highway . I was next to another car .I was shocked Auto lane departure with over taking slow traffic . While overtaking the car gives left signal option to lane change and then while crossing the vehicle in the right it gives another signal to turn right or tries to turn while the vehicle is still there in the blind spot . This happen nee few times which is scary .

Vehicle experiences "phantom braking" where during use of TACC or "Autopilot" it will suddenly and drastically slow down without warning. This seems to occur when it falsely detects another vehicle is about to enter the same lane either with oncoming or merging traffic. Seems to be more severe with poor lighting conditions (dawn, dusk, nighttime) and on two-lane undivided roads.

When using traffic aware cruise control or Autopilot, the car will slam on the brakes when it sees a large vehicle, like a semi truck or bus, in the oncoming lane. It happens about 50% of the time when there is a truck in the oncoming lane. Recently, on a drive up highway 88 near Jackson, this happened 8 times over a 40 mile stretch. It doesn’t just slow down— it tries to come to a full stop, snapping my head forward. I nearly lost control several times. I no longer feel safe using cruise control at all, under any circumstances.

When using the traffic aware cruise control the vehicle brakes hard suddenly for no reason. I have only had this model Y for 11 days and only have 280 miles on the car and it has braked for no reason over 20 times. I have had to stop using the cruise control and haven’t tried the auto pilot. I am concerned about being rear ended and hope Tesla finds a fix to this quickly. I know there are others having this same issue and wanted to report my experience on a newly purchased Model Y. I have also made Tesla aware of my concern but have not heard anything back from them.

When using autopilot, the car brakes at all sorts of non-events incl curvy roads, shiny puddles, undulations, trucks going the other way without incident, and more.

Phantom breaking happens consistently when cruise control is engaged. The phantom breaking happens every day and multiple times a day. Whether it be on a multi lane freeway or a two lane highway, serious breaking occurs and often can be quite dangerous when cars are following behind our vehicle.

I was driving on a snowy narrow two lane road at 9:45am. There was no one in front of me and no oncoming traffic. The car suddenly applied the brakes, hard (along with an alarm and notice on screen that the emergency breaking system had been applied). It was only for a moment and the car dropped about 10 mph. What made the situation particularly troubling is that the road was very slippery in many areas as it was snowing and I was in a reduced salt area near a reservoir. If this had happened 500 yards earlier or later I would likely have gone off the road. This Tesla has the latest software update 2022.4.5. The dealer will be looking at the car in a week.

Car breaks hard suddenly when in cruise control- multiple times ands every time it’s in CC.

Car stops in highway with alarm rear motor disabled. Took it to Tesla they say it is a fluke go head and drive. It happend last month and again multiple times on Feb 13th.
