While idling in drive having applied my foot to the break, the dash displayed h for holding the break. My car accelerated by itself forcefully into the vehicle in front. My seat belt did not lock up, air bags did not deploy, emergency braking didn’t work, the Tesla box report does not match the dash cam timeline. This was sudden unintended acceleration and I pray it doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Rear view parking camera will freeze. At times when putting the vehicle in reverse the rear view camera will freeze and be stuck on the same frame. When rolling back slowly this can, at times be hard to recognize. Especially in areas of bad visibility this has led to near misses. Recently when backing out of a parking spot at rady children's hospital, the camera was once again stuck and I only realized 1-2 seconds into slowly backing the vehicle out of the parking spot inside a cover parking garage. During the time I almost hit cross traffic that was invisible on the stuck rear view camera. Even after finally backing out without the help of the camera, the image was still frozen.
On the beginning of October 11, my reverse camera stops functioning. At night, when I park my car in the garage, my front screen (behind steering wheel) was blank. Shortly after, my car suddenly self-accelerated while I was parked. This resulted in the car smashing through my garage wall, causing loads of damage in the room opposite of the wall. Some damage included: a broken wooden bar, shattered glasses & liquor bottles, and damages to the front of my Tesla. This car was newly purchased, with a milage of simply 40 miles.
