Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2018 Tesla Model X

Based on thousands of posts, replies, etc, this seems to be a well known issue with this model/year Tesla as well as other years/models. It seems that the wheel sensor cable is not fastened properly, and over time, the cable runs against the tire, causing the internal wires to be exposed, this in turn causes numerous faults to occur, which includes causing abs, lane departure avoidance, traction control, stability control, abs, and regenerative braking to stop working. This happens while driving resulting in an immediate change in how the vehicle functions which could easily lead to a major accident while there are numerous forums where this issue is noted, below is one that details the issue with photos [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The car was being summoned out of a parking spot using the Smart summon feature, as the car began pulling out of parking it did not see the car to the right of it and turned into it causing segnificant damage to my car as well as the other.

I was driving on i395 from carson city to reno in washoe valley while on autopilot, the car suddenly alerted with very loud alarms, showed 1. Steering assist reduced, 2. Automatic emergency braking is unavailable 3. Traction control disabled 4. Stability control disabled 5. Park assist unavailable. I pulled over to a safe parking area. Then the car locked out for 75 mins, in neutral gear, can't shut off, can't park, can't reset the car at all even after talking to Tesla support. While waiting for the tow truck, I turned it into tow mode, was able to change into park mode finally, and hard reset the car. I took it in and Tesla told me the steering system was the problem and I was out of warranty so I had to pay a lot of money to repair/replace it.

The Tesla recall under NHTSA recall 23v-838 has not been completed by Tesla. The upgraded computer I purchased from Tesla and had installed in December 2021 cannot accept the ota update. Tesla is requesting that I replace the computer again for 2 thousand dollars for the recall ota. Telsa said my current computer has an internal bug and needs to be replaced. I should not have to spend 2k for another computer that barely lasted 2 years.

The vehicle was in cruise control and had a phantom braking event. The vehicle was going at 70 mph and suddenly braked even though there was significant distance between the car in front and nothing on the road. The sun was glaring on the road and possibly the car detected the shadow on the road as an object and braked because of it.

Suddenly getting harder to turn the steering wheel to either direction. The problem happens randomly and also looses the power steering, needing to forcibly bring the steering back and making the driving difficult. When this happens many alerts pop on the dash including traction alert, break alert, and line alert.

I was driving down a ramp and the emergency brake engaged, causing all of my belongings in my passenger seat and rear seat to fly off the seat. It felt like whiplash and my daughter was in the backseat as well. The next day, I had severe neck and upper back pain to the point that I couldn’t move. I am seeking care with a chiropractor.

The contact owns a 2018 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70-75 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,200.

I have a 2018 Tesla Model X - when I engage the self-driving mode the car will ghost brake for no apparent reason. There are no cars or pedestrians that I can see to make the car suddenly break hard this is not the 1st time this has happened - I see that you are investigating 2021 - 2022 Tesla model 3 and y but I am getting the same issues on the 2018 Model X with an upgraded mcu2 computer I would like to bring this to your attention- on my safety score on my Tesla app the only issue I have is hard braking but the car is doing this not me for no apparent reason.

On March 1, 2021, wife and I was driving east bound on route 80 highway in ohio. Twice the vehicle braked while driving in cruise control. It was a clear day. There were no cars around. No bridges or obstacles. And the road lines where clear. The first braking occurred while we were on right lane on a two-lane highway. The second braking occurred (around 5:15pm) while we were in the middle lane of 3-lane highway. We were driving approximate 65mph. At both braking, my wife was driving. When I happen, we both confirmed there was no cars or obstacles around us. We contacted Tesla, who after reviewing their logs says it was working in "normal". That the vehicle saw something and braked. Even though both myself and wife can confirm there was nothing around us, particularly since covid has significantly reduced any traffic. There has been a history of issues. On other occasion, one of my side doors indicated there was something there, even though I was the only vehicle in completely empty parking lot. Only after many complaints an attempts did they finally replace the sensor. It seems that they are repeating their denial of claims by two eye-witnesses of the issues.

Starting especially so on this date, and on occasion before this time, the vehicle would abruptly brake very aggressively when I was passing a semi truck with his emergency lights on or when perhaps passing a shadow or for no reason at all. I would have to slam on the gas to avoid a collision or being rear ended.
