1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2024

On 1/12/24 at 12:55pm my 2020 Tesla Model X long range plus suddenly started braking while on the highway. I was driving 75mph to san diego from arizona. There was no vehicles around or in front while using the cruise control. This also has been an issue with our 2023 Tesla model y and previous model 3 while driving to las vegas at 70mph. I really think this is safety concern. Luckily there was vehicles behind us with all incidents that took place. I recently took the 2020 Tesla Model X on 1/19/24 for the issue and the technician found no issues while driving it.

Many hard braking incidents ignores posted speed limits been close to being rear ended by following cars.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2023

I have driven this vehicle approximately 28,000 miles. I am the original (and only) owner. When using the cruise control the car will break suddenly and aggressively for no apparent reason on the open road. This has happened more than a dozen times. I cannot say what percentage of my driving is done with adaptive cruise control functioning but I would suspect well less than 30% of the 28k miles. On several occasions I surmise it my be related to oncoming vehicles in their normal lane. Fortunately, these episodes have not resulted in any collisions to date.

4 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2023

Repeatedly, I have had my car brake harshly when travelling anywhere from 30-55 mph while using adaptive cruise control. There is nevere anything in the road or a car anywhere nearby to warrant a dramatic braking. The decelertion is harsh and alomst caused someone behind me to hit me on 2 occasions. I have repeatedly told Tesla about this and mostly gotten a nebulous response about "hardware" or 'software" issues and that they are working on it. This is dangerous and hurts when it unexpectedly happens!!.

Sudden acceleration.

6 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2022

Recurring phantom braking every drive.

7 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2022

When I'm using the driving assistance on the highway, and I'm doing like 60 or 70 mph, all of a sudden the car brakes to 45mph if it (falsely) thinks we are in a construction zone I believe. I have almost gotten in 3 accidents because the car suddenly brakes hard on its own, without me braking.

9 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2022

While on autopilot or cruise control, the car would suddenly and abruptly slam on the brakes for no reason. There's no traffic or objects to avoid. It was very startling because it could have caused a massive rear-end collision had I not intervened to cancel the autopilot and speed up again. . Because of this, I have stopped using the autopilot feature altogether. I cannot trust it will work properly. I have mentioned it to Tesla and they simply say the software update will solve it. It has not!.

10 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2021

We received the full self-driving beta software from Tesla this week. How NHTSA has permitted Tesla to enable this software for use on public streets is mind-blowing. It is that dangerous! do the public a favor and go drive a Tesla with fsd enabled. You can read my full comments on our blog: https://nerdvittles.
