Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2024 Tesla Model X

Once full self-driving is disengaged a pop-up menu shows up at the main part of the screen requesting a feedback why full self-driving was disengaged you cannot dismiss the questionnaire easily without being distracted during the driving extremely dangerous the only way to dismiss the compulsory questionnaire is to make a selection of 1 option or double click on a microphone button on the steering wheel extremely distractive and requires not to look at the road just at the moment you disengage full self-driving there is no option to dismiss it Tesla is forcing you to answer it.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding ongoing safety and service issues with my 2024 Tesla Model X. This is the third Tesla vehicle we’ve owned, and while our previous two vehicles performed excellently, this one has presented serious and recurring problems with the full self-driving (fsd) system. Since the second service visit, we have experienced four separate incidents in which the vehicle has either driven off the road or abruptly slammed on the brakes without warning. Despite two prior service appointments at the Tesla service center in sarasota, FL, these issues remain unresolved. We also scheduled a third appointment, which Tesla later cancelled.

I am reporting a potential safety issue with my Tesla Model X. When the vehicle is placed in reverse with the steering wheel turned to full lock, it unexpectedly initiates self-movement without any driver input. I raised this issue with Tesla service, and they responded with the following statement: "we are aware of this and [it is] currently a known software characteristic at this time. It is under investigation and to be resolved with a future software update. " Tesla has acknowledged this issue but has not provided a timeline for a fix. Safety concerns: this unexpected movement can pose a serious safety risk in environments where precise control is needed, such as driveways, parking lots, and tight spaces. It could indicate a malfunction in the vehicle’s drive-by-wire system, creating potential hazards for drivers and pedestrians. There is no way to predict or prevent this movement without significant driver intervention, increasing the risk of collisions or unintended acceleration incidents. Request for investigation: since Tesla has already acknowledged this as a known issue, I urge the NHTSA to investigate its potential safety risks. If this is affecting multiple vehicles, Tesla should be required to release a timely fix rather than leaving owners waiting for an undefined future software update.

Phantom breaking and vehicle slow down events occur near daily when using the highway when adaptive cruise control is engaged. The vehicle will abruptly try to stop, or slow down aby 5-10 mph. This has caused several close calls with other drivers on the highways. Date of the incident is the latest. In the last two weeks prior to the incident, it has occurred at least 6-10 times.
