1 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2020

See attached for details. We have experienced at least two unexpected hard braking incidents in our 2020 Tesla Model 3 equipped with autopilot. In one incident, just as autopilot was engaged, the Tesla braked suddenly from 65 mph to 50 mph. Other drivers were forced to brake hard to avoid collision. On the same day, while in adaptive cruise control, the Tesla suddenly braked hard at a speed of 78 mph, down to 60 mph. Tesla has been notified by others who have had similar experiences, so they are aware of this hazardous problem. The issue has been reported by many on Tesla social media sites since at least 2018. It still has not been corrected. I plan to send a copy of this report to Tesla.
