1 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2020

Went to see an eye dr, try to get to a parking spot which there were a whole row of empty parking spaces. As I turned into the parking spot it suddenly accelerated over the curb, I then applied the brake but still keep going then it the wall about 8ft fr the curb straight on. I've been driving for 35 yrs and never accidentally apply to wrong pedal. I went to Tesla near by to complain right away and they insist I have applied to wrong pedal! such a irresponsible statement! I dont have to drive the car again if you can send someone to investigate if the car has some recording to view like a blackbox for an airplane. Tesla may claims they r right for other cases they have but I m very sure I never accelerate into the parking spot. I have the video recording the car driving and you can see it started accelerate as I turned into the parking spot like many people claim on the internet that they experience similar situation.

2 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2020

I was in a parking garage next to my work and was parking between two cars, I was coming to a complete stop when my car suddenly accelerated and hit the pillar on the left side. It was only a few seconds and I applied the brakes and put the car on park. This is a brand new car with less than 500 miles on it. I felt that the car suddenly accelerated when I was completely stopping. Later, I found out that this has been reported with other Tesla vehicles in a parking garage similar to my situation. Tesla still has not provided the report to me saying it is proprietary information, but take no responsibility. Damages has cost me almost $10,000. I have been driving for more than 30 years and I have a perfect driving record.

3 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2020

I was slowly pulling the Tesla Model Y, VIN #[xxx], on Tuesday morning, September 1, at approximately 11:15am. I was about 3 feet from the front of the garage when the car without my prompting suddenly rapidly accelerated into the cabinets and ruined them along with the wall they were hung on, removing the wall from the foundation. This also caused considerable damage to the car which only had approximately 450 miles driven on it. We also own a Tesla model 3 which I have driven extensively therefore making me very familiar with the Tesla drive train. In no way was this any type of operator error as Tesla has suggested after their review of the vehicle data. This is clearly a design flaw with this car and thankfully there were no serious injuries associated with the crash. I am extremely shaken up by the incident and won't ever feel confident driving that car again. Photos of the damage are available for review.
