Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2020 Tesla Model 3 - part 2

The contact owns a 2020 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on the highway, the vehicle was experiencing phantom braking. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving at various speeds with the cruise control or while using the autonomous self-driving feature. The contact stated that the battery warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

There is a lot of phantom braking, not just on specific stretches of highway around austin, but almost anywhere. There is a specific spot on us highway 183 north in austin where the speed is set at 65 and the Tesla m3 will rapidly brake without any warning. There is a danger of being rear ended. I manually disconnect the adas in anticipation. I shouldn’t have to. In general, phantom braking is dangerous and could be attributed to using vision only sensors?.

My car has experience phantom breaking issues since 1 month after purchasing in December 2019 when using autopilot. Each time phantom braking so far only happens during interstate driving. During the two year period, it has happened over 10 times. Fortunately, no vehicle was very close behind me when phantom braking occurs. Oddly, no forward collision warning occurred during the phantom braking.

While driving down interstate-5 my Tesla has been known to automatically brake from traffic safe speeds down to 40 immediately. It has happened multiple times. I have video to prove it as well. My video is too large at the moment but it does exist.

The contact owns a 2020 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and using self driving feature, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and continued to drive the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while reversing, the vehicle inadvertently moved forward and slightly bumped into a guardrail. There was no further information provided. The contact depressed the brake pedal and was able to successfully reverse after several attempts. The contact also stated that the vehicle would fail to make normal beeping sounds and alerts while reversing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that unless he provided the specific time and date of the failure, they could not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

I have experienced phantom breaking twice with my Model 3. The first time was on the 101 freeway near santa clause lane outside of santa barbara. There was no car in front of me or a hazard on the road but the vehicle made a sudden stop while I was traveling around 55mph. The second occurrence happened on the 101 freeway near santa maria. Again, the vehicle made braked suddenly while traveling around 65mph. The closest car in front of me was about 100 feet away. There was a car behind me but I was able to quickly hit the gas peddle to avoid an accident. I searched online at the time to see if anyone else had this issue but didn't have much luck. I'm thankful that I saw the washington post article.

I bought a Tesla Model 3 on 9/19/20. On 9/23/20 I was waiting in my car in a line of cars at a fast food delivery window, stopped 8-10 ft behind a large vehicle with my foot on the brake as well as in the park mode because of the slow service ahead. After a while I realized that my Tesla had started moving slowly towards the vehicle in front. Pumping the brake, trying to change the gear to reverse did not stop the car. The screen data disappeared and a message flashed saying that all safety features were off. I opened the door which is supposed to stop the car. It did not even after I got out of it. It continued to move even after contact was made with the car in front. The Tesla was completely crushed. It was a total loss according to a repair shop where it was towed on Tesla's recommendation. When I contacted Tesla they informed me that my accelerator was fully deployed. Not true. I bought the Tesla because of all the safety features, none of which seemed to work including failure to notice a large vehicle in front, not stopping when the door was opened, starting by itself in the park mode, and the data screen going blank except for the message about safety systems being off.

While traveling on highway with full self driving engaged car would occasionally brake and had to quickly press on the gas pedal for fear a car would hit me from behind. This seemed to happen when I approach an overpass but not most overpasses and typically happens once or twice during highway trips of about 80 miles on NJ garden state parkway. I had not reported this to Tesla or had the car checked for this issue and report it now seeing that there were formal reports filed on this issue to NHTSA. I do not recall whether any warning lights or audible alerts occurred during these incidents. First occurred after I took possession of car a couple of years back.

At a drive thru fast food tapped the peddle and the car launched and hit a truck in front of me.
