Body problems of the 2018 Tesla Model 3 - part 2

I turned into my driveway and was going to pull into my garage to park the car, when the car accelerated suddenly and violently and crashed into the front stone wall of our house. The stone wall is damaged and the front right side of the Tesla has significant damages.

On April 24 19 morning [xxx](my wife) drove up multilevel parking lot at work 8100 jones branch drive, she initially chose a head in parking spot, then attempted to move the car forward to the next aisle, so the car would be facing front when she got out. The car picked up uncontrollable and extremely high speed and she felt out of control and could not move foot from accelerator to brake in the split second, all she could do was to steer slightly to hit a pole at that next spot, and avoid going across drive lane and over the barricade to a drop. The car suffered severe front damage and airbags opened, she had minor bruise. Repair estimates caused insurance company to call it a total loss. 1. Tesla claims to be reviewing electronic data but has not released conclusions so far. 2. Why such high speed was picked up when all she wanted to do was crawl over to the next spot directly ahead (about 20 feet) from the previous spot. 3. Why various electronic system, front collision warning, front collision avoidance, video sensors about obstructions, avoidance based acceleration control etc, failed to apply any speed reductions. Photos of event, estimate from insurance are enclosed. I request your kind attention, and your analysis as to the safety failures.

I was driving on auto pilot mode when I was going to make a right hand turn when in order to slow down at the traffic ahead of me, I applied the brakes but there was no brake action whatsoever. This was not a panic situation, it was just normal braking. When the brakes failed to actuate and the vehicle accordingly wasn't slowing down, in order to avoid hitting pedestrians or the vehicle in front of me, I swerved to the right and ended up hitting a tree. I sustained injuries as a result of this accident and totaled my car. The problem was the failure of the Tesla (2018 Model 3) brake system to work.

The bottom front under piece composite material which is part of the under carriage spontaneously broke while driving on the freeway in the rain. There are numerous reports in the internet of the composite under pieces breaking from water or missing/loose bolts.

Driving at 65 mph on interstate 80, in California near berkeley, in the rain the under carriage body cover which appears to be made of some type of composite material ripped/tore. Nothing was hit on the road and there have been multiple owners that have also had issues with this part of the car ripping/tearing/breaking due to unknown reasons. There are speculations that it is water related but it should not be breaking in the rain or with water. As well because the part is on the bottom it should not be that fragile that it can tear/rip/break easily! I have attached an image below of the underside when I was able to get back to my home. This part is inadequately protecting the bottom of the car and should be recalled and changed.

My Tesla Model 3 was so new that didn't even have the license plate yet. I've done self-park quite a few times, and even went to the sales center to confirm the way to engage self park. When the vehicle sense the space and you go reverse, the blue start button will be on so you can press and let the auto self park. Sadly, the self park caused the accident on 11/30/18 when I was on lyon street in san francisco. When pressed on the reverse 'start' button, the car went uncontrollably (like a demon was in the car) and hit the rear parked car. I could barely hit the brake in time to stop the zoomed reverse. This accident not only damaged my new Model 3 and it hit the bumper and headlight of another parked vehicle, the incident truly traumatized me on the Tesla car functions. Thankfully, there was not any upcoming rear traffic, with the self reverse speed, the accident could be a lot worse. Tesla insisted that it is not an auto-pilot or self-park issue. They said we have to wait 4 weeks for the engineering review and report. After waiting for the Tesla report for 4 weeks, they claimed the vehicle was 'not' engaged in the 'self-park' function - well, why would the blue start button is available for me to believe that the self park was ready????? they made the excuse the creep function was activated. That is ridiculous! your blue start button was available for self-park, driver would assume the vehicle is ready to be parked. Who would guess the vehicle would zoom back uncontrollably? could you imagine how dangerous this is for all the self park drivers and passengers? the accident could be much worse. Nhtsa must issue investigation and fining for such Tesla self park issue!.

This car has a front trunk, aka "frunk". It is opened electronically, not mechanically. There is no owner accessible mechanical override. It failed to open on October 31 while parked in a garage, 2018. It was brought to Tesla service the next day, and the "m3 frunk latch actuator primary release (1098789-00-c)" was replaced. The frunk operated normally thereafter until January 26, 2019, when it again failed to open while parked in a public parking lot. It will be 3 weeks before it can be repaired again, due to Tesla service backlog.

I was at the supercharging station in dublin ( California) . When I wanted to take reverse and park my car for supercharging. My car showed the option of autopark. Since there was an open spot available for parking my car (where my car fits properly - as per Tesla guidelines) . I started auto parking ,in autopark feature usually the car comes close to the other car and then takes necessary turn. But in my case the car came very close to the other car and instead of stopping it speeded up and dashed to the other car in the parking spot. My car has collision prevention plus it provides accurate distance if there is some object behind my car, but in this car neither of the systems alerted me and led to a crash. I raised a complaint to Tesla about the auto park features problem but haven't received any any word from them. I have attached the images of the car.

Passenger doors opened electrically. I believe manual backup opening exists only with front door. Will rear seat passengers be able to evacuate arithmetic fire, or in water, or will they be trapped? has not happened, but might it happen?.

Safety issue with rear doors. Rear passengers and specially children who are unable to exit through the front of the vehicle can become trapped in the event of a fire or major collision that disables the electrical power to the doors. Front doors are equipped with emergency release latch however, rear doors have no such safety backup in a life and death situation.
