1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2024

Ever since a recent software update, when turn signal is activated, right fender camera feed appears on screen but is completely black instead of showing a visual of the right blind spot. Due to this other features such as autopilot, automatic emergency braking, and likely most of the adas functions are also disabled. Due to the vehicle's poor natural visibility, there is a high reliance on the camera systems functioning properly. Not having a blind spot camera endangers turns and lane changes, especially if one has become accustomed to their usage. With most if not all the adas features disabled, we are returning to a 1990's level of auto safety. The problem remains unresolved despite a recent 2 week stint in Tesla service. Since this is most likely a software issue (possibly a regression introduced with the recent rear camera recall fix) there is no recourse except for Tesla to issue a bug fix. The car was returned to me without resolution. I'm not the only party experiencing this problem. It seems the only constant is it's a problem with the fender cameras however whether it's the right or left side is variable. . Read more...

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2023

At night, vehicle incorrectly identified a dog running alongside the vehicle as a human and engaged the automatic breaks causing 5 occupants to suffer minor injuries including whip lash. One occupant was a baby in a car seat. Two weeks later also at night, the same event occurred. Tesla has refused to provide a means to permanently disable the automatic breaking feature when a human is in control. The software incorrectly identifies a dog as a human, this is a serious software bug that has caused harm to my family. If a human is in control, I am responsible, if Tesla is in control then they should be responsible.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2022

Travelling at highway speed with cruise control on, the brakes came on hard as if there was an upcoming collision, slowing the car by 25-30 mph. But there was no car or obstacle ahead of mine. I was able to immediately accelerate back to speed without further incident. And fortunately, the cars behind me were able to slow down without hitting me. This is the third (3rd) time this has happened. The previous was less than two weeks ago on city streets without cruise control and I don't remember the first which happened shortly after getting the car in March 2022. I noticed that others have had a similar experience, which led me to submit this report.
