Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2017 Tesla Model S

On 12/03/20 at around 9:57am, after I slowly turned left into a parking near a white truck and just about to back up into my company's ev charging parking lot then the car suddenly sped forward climbing over the curb of the median separating the parking area and a driveway on the side of another company's building then running thru the median and heading fast toward the building before I slammed the brake in time to stop the car ~15 feet away from hitting the building. The driver's side of the car scraped a tree on the median and the driver side mirror broke the tree supporting pole. After the car was towed to Tesla service center 2 hours later, they reported the next day that they found no error with the car. I was totally caught off guard by the unintended acceleration of the car that icould not brake early enough to stop the car on the median after it climbed over the curb. It was a clear day, I turned left into the parking with caution and focus on safety especially knowing the white truck was nearby and the median with the tree was visible in front. This is where I performed backing up my car almost daily at work so I could charge my car in the company's ev charging parking lot for the last 6 months. Before, during and after this life threatening incident, my health, mind, eye sight and awareness were and are very good. I do not smoke, drink or have any medication that can affect my driving control with safety. I reported this unintended acceleration to my auto insurer and assessment for damage repaired with Tesla auto body shop is under progress. There is no police report because the incident happened on private property.

On 1/19/20 at 1623 phoenix time while coming to a stop on a surface street the car suddenly accelerated. Prompt application of the breaks prevented an accident. This is the first time this has happened.

I have reached out to Tesla 3 times to fix a sudden unintended acceleration issue. 11 days after I reported the issue and they told me my car was ok to drive I got into a accident. It took Tesla 5 months to give back the reports of the crash in which they said it was my fault. I have lost trust in the company and have seen that 127 other people have been affected by the same issue according to cnn please take care of this issue. Any Tesla owner is a pioneer of a future creation. After the accident they told me autopilot is on beta mode its not perfect yet. They should not allow public to use a hazardous software. Also Tesla employees were very negligent. I almost died in this accident with my father and the manager had no idea of my case even after my car was given to me and they said it was ok to drive. I got into a accident 11 days after they ok'd my car please help as I am frustrated and do not know what to do anymore or who to get to fix my car. I have documentation of addressing sudden intended acceleration to Tesla multiple times. Thank you.

Tesla Model S 2017 sudden unintended acceleration- 1/18/2018, morning 9:05 am. I was pulling in to my office parking spot where I parked for 6 years, I let the car slow to roll closer in front of the curb. All of a sudden the car accelerated, got on the curb, hit the office building. The car was still going until I applied the brake. The acceleration point was right before the curb, measuring from the point to the wall is only 7 feet. Tesla said I was on the pedal for a second long, I applied pedal from 0-18%, and quickly applied the brake. If I applied the pedal, I would not be able to apply my brake in a split second. Tesla refused to provide the force given to the pedal and any telegraphy. Tesla said they will not be responsible for any damage and said it is driver's error. I told my car was only 6 week new, I no longer feel safe to drive this vehicle, I request to return the car. Tesla refused. Tesla claimed there is no parts failure and refused to do any failure analysis without even looking at the car and accident pictures. Consumer fighting with odds?-- when insurance company sent tow truck driver on the next day(1/19/2018), the driver said my car was the second brand new Model S he towed in the same week with the same issue. The other lady ran thru her drywall and got in her laundry room while parking, same situation- while letting the car "slow", roll itself. Given Tesla has manufactured close to 200,000 cars, launched 5 years since 2012, divided by 52 weeks a year, the odd is pretty high for the same issue---0. 7%. At a total of 1400 Tesla cars out there, these 1400 cars are acting as ticking bomb for the design failure causing sua. I believe this issue requires NHTSA or federal regulation to take a look.

At our driveway on sun. 1/14/18, coming back from shopping a few minutes before four pm, suddenly the car took off by itself. It accelerated tremendously with the speed which was felt around 65-80 m/hr, hitting our heavy garage door, which was closed at the time, went through the garage, hit my parked Porsche and pushed it to the left to the water heater. It then hit and broke the wall between our garage and courtyard, broke and pushed our concrete planter and stopped halfway between the garage and our family room windows in the courtyard. I firmly believe that this was the result of unintended acceleration. This is our new and second Tesla my wife and I owned and drove. When my wife talked to local Tesla representative, he refused to give us any computer generated report. The car still on the wall between garage and courtyard. We understand, Tesla has a black box that we do not know where it will end up if we take it to Tesla certified body shop. We appreciate it very much if you advise us what to do.

We were in a parking lot of "kidquest museum" in bellevue , wa. , taking our grand daughter, one year old, to the museum. Our car was in stationary position. We were trying to figure out where to park. During this time, our model x, took off with unintended acceleration and we could not control the car. It was instantaneous, our car went and hit a parked chevy van. This van fwent upside down and went over the fence into the lot next to it. After the impact our car went and hit eletric pole, went into bushes and over an electrical box of 5 by 5. I could not open the door. There was smoke in the car (my wife thinks smoke might have started while the car was accelerating"). Museum staff came and opened the passenger door. After she got out, first thing they did was to open the rear passenger door and took out our granddaughter. I came out thru passenger doo. Fortunately no one was hurt. Many of the airbags came out. We are unbelievably lucky. The parking lot is approximately 100 ft x 100. This is the parking lot usually where many kids are in the lot. Fortunately that moment there was none. Accident happened around 4:20 p. M . Weather was gray but no rain. We still can not comprehend how car can take off at that speed. None of the emergency braking system or the cameras worked to stop the car.

The Tesla sped up and had a sudden unintentional acceleration. I was driving down the driveway slowly and the car suddenly accelerated to a very high speed. It almost went over a wall and I had to swerve the wheel to avoid going over a wall. When I slammed on the brakes, the car stopped fully only a few inches away from another parked vehicle.
