1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2025

Advanced driver assistance systems (adas) – safety incident report: while using the vehicle’s ‘summon’ feature, the car failed to stop when I released the control button. It continued forward, drove up and over a large curb, struck a signpost, and came to rest with one tire elevated on the curb/grass and the other three tires on the pavement. This “jumping curbs” behavior and collision with fixed objects represents a serious safety hazard. I am extremely grateful that no person was nearby or inside the vehicle at the time, as this failure could have resulted in injury or death. The incident is documented on video. The vehicle is currently pending inspection. Despite my request, Tesla has not responded or addressed the issue, leaving the defect unmitigated. At no point did the vehicle display any warning lights or messages indicating a malfunction before or after the incident. Given the nature of this failure, its potential to cause harm, and the lack of response from the manufacturer, I am submitting this report to alert federal safety authorities and initiate appropriate investigation into the safety of the ‘summon’ feature and the vehicle’s adas systems.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2022

Car brakes hard when nothing is in road and when it comes to stopped cars waits too long to brake and brakes too hard when using autopilot.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2022

At highway speeds, using autopilot, my car will suddenly and powerfully brake to a full stop unless I intervene. If this happens with traffic behind me, they must brake hard to avoid hitting me. Also the forward collision warning activates when there is no reason. I have many video recordings, of my dash, the events and the road, while this is happening. How do I send video to you?.

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2021

Unexpected hard braking while the car is in advanced driver-assistance model.

5 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2021

When I am driving down the highway, the car breaks abruptly for no reason at high speeds. It has scared my family multiple times over the last 3 to 4 months. I thought by now it would stop doing it, but it’s still inconsistent even when I checked all of the camera lenses turn sure they are clean. I understand this is being called phantom breaking? please let me know when I can do?.
