Every time I am on a two lane road, and sometimes even on divided highways, I experience numerous instances where the car seems to think there is an imminent collision, where the brakes are immediately applied excessively and for seemingly no reason. This issue is present with either the fsd beta engaged or simply having cruise control engaged at all. The issue is far worse at night, and in a 1 hour drive it is likely to happen several times. In addition to the above, the car also forces the auto high beams back onto auto when re-engaging the system after I've had to take control to stop it from stopping or swerving unnecessarily. Since the auto high beams are really bad, the car often will flash oncoming drivers on its own, and again for seemingly no reason. I usually remember to disable it every time, but have also forgotten and flashed oncoming drivers due to this as well. In addition to the above, the fsd system will make swerves that make no sense at times as well. For instance, it turned into what it thought to be the turning lane a block early, but maintained speed for the actual intended turn. When it saw the lines ending, it abruptly made a 90 degree turn a block early as it didn't know what to do. While I feel competent enough to be more alert than an average driver should expect to be when driving, I feel it is a matter of time, if it hasn't already happened, where Teslas cause a rear end accident, injury, or even death, from their seemingly random and sudden movements by a driver that doesn't understand the limits of the cars. For the approximate date field below. . . . . . It happens every time I drive on a two lane road, and even more so at night. It's not a one time instance. It's every single drive. I'll put the date the last time I drove longer than a couple miles from home, but want to emphasize that everything described above can be easily reproduced on every single drive.
Two problems 1. Vehicle breaks randomly on the road when on assisted driving is enabled on freeways 2. New vehicle steering makes creaking/ clicking noise when turning. Reported to Tesla and vehicle was repaired, but same issue again.
After getting a shingles vaccination and eating lunch, a vaccine side-effect suddenly caused me to become extremely sleepy while driving. But autopilot drove me safely to my destination parking lot where I took a two hour nap. Autopilot saved my life and car from an accident.
Location: 5 fwy north (solana beach area) situation: 5pm rush hour traffic. Speed 30- 40mph incident: emergency braking system engaged for no reason resulting in all 4 wheels locking up. Scared the s#!t out of me but no injury or accident. No warning lamps or messages before the incident. Outcome: looked like an idiot to my fellow commuters. When I arrived home I turned off the feature and never used it again. No inspections.
The contact owns a 2019 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle experienced "phantom braking". The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact informed the manufacturer of the failure through the Tesla app and the mobile service unit was dispatched to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that recently he had experienced the failure five times within an hour and a half. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,100.
1. In three occasions while using fsd I approached red lights but the vehicle did not initiate a stop. I took control to do so. 2. Yesterday the car seemed to reboot. It was about 9pm, quite dark at 70 or 80mph on i80 in a construction area. The headlights stayed on and the car continued driving but the dash went black as it seemed to fail, and then seemed to reboot with the "t" coming back up before the full dash came up again.
The contact owns a 2019 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that he purchased the special feature adaptive auto pilot back in 06/2020. The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking activated independently while driving 65 mph, almost bringing the vehicle to an abrupt stop three times on the same day. The brake pedal was depressed to deactivate the feature, allowing for the vehicle to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to Tesla (840 providence hwy, dedham, MA 02026 (781) 471-3001) to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer suggested that the feature be turned off. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 14,000.
