On oct 2, 2024 while going to school to pick the kids, when my wife was turning right into a parking lot after slowing, my Tesla Model X plaid car acceralated and went into high speed (plaid mode) hitting a tree at top speed even though brakes were applied. Upon research, this looks like sudden unintended accerelation. The car luckily hit the tree on the passenger side and the front right wheel flew to the back seat and all air bags were deployed. The car was totaled. Miracleously, she had minor external injuries but due to the speed of impact with the tree, she was flung forward and after the CT scan, we found that she had vad with severe damage to both her neck arteries. She was taken to hospital in an ambulance, had a surgery and still has trauma and medical appointments to fully recover. In Mar 2024, there was always a software problem with my car failing to detect the car was open and hit the garage roof with the falcon wing. On another occasion, the car failed to detect my other car when it was too close to it and I had to apply the brakes although the car was to stop automatically. Tesla refused to treat this as warranty even though the car should not move when doors are open. After 6 months, I ended up fixing the car at a Tesla collision centre. After multiple follow ups via email, chats on Tesla app and phone calls post the accident on oct 2, 2024 with Tesla pleading with them to provide the edr report and address the issue as warranty and not hearing back, I am logging this so that customers are aware of this dangerous flaw that can be fatal. It looks like Tesla wants to delay the case for long so that they can force the customer to accept a low settlement. I was also planning to buy a cyberbeast but not going to anymore.
I was driving the car in stop-and-go traffic on a city street. After another stop, the car in front of me started moving. I pressed on the accelerator with the usual force, but my car took off like crazy. I pressed on the breaks, but the car didn't seem to respond to the brake pedal and ran into a car in front of me. Automatic emergency breaking system didn't engage as well. Luckily, nobody was injured. Had there been any pedestrians crossing the street, they would have been badly injured or killed. This uncontrolled response from the car is very dangerous and I cannot trust it anymore. As a result of this accident, the car in front suffered damage in the amount of a few thousand usd, and my Tesla Model X - $40k.
Subject: urgent adas issue: ui_a114 error in Teslas with eap/fsd in east oahu I'm reporting a critical, location-specific safety concern affecting Teslas with enhanced autopilot or full self-driving in east oahu, particularly when heading westbound. This widespread issue, known as error ui_a114, disables all advanced driver assistance systems (adas) without warning. It impacts essential safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and emergency braking, presenting significant risks. Tesla support in honolulu acknowledges this as a multi-year issue among east oahu Tesla owners with eap/fsd, regardless of activation status. This suggests a software-related problem or environmental interaction unique to this region, necessitating urgent investigation and resolution to ensure driver and public safety. Further details are provided in the attached pdf. Your attention and action on this matter are crucial.
1. Tesla failed to adequately warn us that the 6 sensors in the front and back of the 2023 model have been removed. Comment from Tesla collision center team in carlsbad: "we both understand the calibration issue won’t be fixed overnight. A program should be in place to educate customers on the change from sensors to cameras. " 2. Objects and images in the rear camera are much closer than they appear and the camera sensors do not work properly. Where was this warning when we bought this car? from jared's Tesla service report: "there are certain feature limitations which can trigger warning messages and cause some inaccuracies when using this feature. Service engineering is aware of these issues and is working towards implementing improvements via future firmware updates. " 3. As a result of Tesla's failure to warn us, I relied on the rear camera and camera "sensors" and backed into the corner of my neighbor's open garage causing $6,322 in damage.
