1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2024

The update that you required for auto steer has made the car undrivable. I get a written and audible warning immediately when I engage auto steer. Literally within 2 seconds. I always keep my hands on the wheel, lightly, while I drive on the highway. Anything short of a death grip on the wheel causes the warning to go off. However, the nag feature (after the changes you required) goes off constantly. Honestly, it's very distracting. If I look at the radio to change the channel, the warning goes off. You need to undo the changes you required. It makes auto steer less safe, not more.

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2022

I have used the self driving feature of my 2022 Tesla Model S on several highway trips, most recently a round trip between seattle and palm springs. The following problems with the Tesla self driving feature were noted. (my car has only the basic self driving feature, not the full self driving upgrade) 1. Random “phantom braking” where the car, without apparent reason, suddenly braked. 2. On several occasions the car abruptly swerved off toward an off ramp. I think this occurred when the white line marking the side of the road was interrupted by the off ramp where there was no painted line. 3. On several occasions when the turn signal was activated in order to change lines the car started to move over into the adjacent lane but abruptly swerved back to the original lane. I was able to maintain control but it was a frightening event. Due to the unpredictable nature of these events I greatly reduced my use of the fsd feature.
