| Service Brakes problems |
My Tesla Model 3 , parking break do not release. So I can not go front or back!!! I thing they had recall about that long time ago. It happend every month once. You get stuck for 2 hrs or so and then it get atomatically release!!!.
Experiencing unexpected braking on freeway while on cruise control. Car brakes for apparently no reason. There is no warning, vehicles in sight, on clear sunny day. Has braked up to 3 times/hr on two different days on road trip. No indicators say that anything is wrong with the car or its cameras. It is jarring and scary for both driver and passenger. Collecting info for Tesla service appt in August. Read info of phantom braking for newer Teslas. We drove this same route in this car in summer of 2019 and didn’t experience phantom braking.
Essentially all of the safety and convenience features repeatedly shut off. Lane departure, autopilot, regenerative braking, vsc, emergency braking, airbags, traction control, automatic vehicle hold, stability control, and a few others stopped working on multiple occasions. This definitely put my life and my family's life at risk. The problems were reproduced and confirmed by the dealer and the vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer. All of the warning lamps and messages only popped up when the failure occurred. Tesla initially "fixed" all of these issues by doing a wheel alignment. Obviously this did not work and eventually a much more extensive repair was done. Also, they provided a loaner with tires so bald they the tread was below the wear bar.
