general problems of the 2020 Tesla Model Y - part 2

The trunk hatch door does not stop moving (opening or closing) when it comes into contact with an object. Incident #1: I closed the trunk not realizing that my husband was under the hatch door. The hatch door came down on his head and did not stop closing until he forced it to stop with his arm. Incident #2: I pulled the car into my garage but did not realize that I had not pulled the car far enough into the garage. I opened the trunk from the drivers seat. The hatch door hit the closed garage door and kept trying to open (scratching the hatch door on the garage door in the process) until I was able to pull the hatch door down hard enough for it to stop moving. This is a safety hazard. A child/person could get caught and injured in between the hatch door and the trunk and/or the hatch door and another object.

On 5/24/21, I was driving in the rain on a busy 6 lane highway. I was driving under speed limit. The car hydroplaned across 3 lanes, past the divider and spun 180 degrees and I was able to bring it to a halt with fierce braking just before it crossed onto the other side. Some damage to car. I was unhurt. Sheriff came to assist me to safety.

In the process of filing a claim court against Tesla for garage door closing on my vehicle (because of homelink). Multiple damages and no help from Tesla at all. Homelink was installed on my Tesla y in February and the door closed twice on my vehicle while I was parking the car.

While traveling on northbound us-101, the infotainment/dashboard screen froze. The climate control suddenly went full blast on the coldest setting, speedometer stopped updating, and all infotainment/dashboard controls were unresponsive. The turn signals appeared to work, but stopped making its clicking sound. I could only tell it worked by seeing the light reflection from road signs. I was reset the system by pressing both steering wheel buttons for 10 seconds or more and then infotainment screen turned off. It did not restart until a couple of miles later when I exited the highway. The car continued to accelerate and brake normally the whole time.

The other day I was stopped at a red light, awaiting green in a left turn only lane. It was a long light and I may have been distracted by a conversation with my passenger. I am 99% certain that I did not have my foot on the brake pedal because I rarely use it now-a-days with regenerative braking and tacc. The green light chimed and I instinctively pushed upward on the right stalk, double checking (in my mind) that I had disabled tacc and autopilot, knowing that I was about to turn left. Unfortunately this 'conditioned' behavior of mine inadvertently put the car in reverse!! I pressed the accelerator and nearly backed into the car behind me. It completely caught me off guard since my expectation was that the car would move forward. Obviously I was wrong. The driver behind me was disturbed, however I did avoid making contact by hitting the brake pedal. While I certainly realize that I am fully responsible for the confusion, I do believe that Tesla safety engineers might want to explore this scenario and seek out a preventive safe-guard. Perhaps software can prevent car from switching to reverse unless the brake pedal is depressed. Or maybe a much larger "r" indicator that blinks and beeps. I'm sure it is an easy fix.

My 2020 Model Y lunged forward while sitting at a red light behind a pickup truck. I did not touch the accelerator ans the brake would not stop the car. I impacted the pickup truck and damaged the left center of the car front sliding under the pickup bumper. It was as though the car took over on it own. There was no reason for me to have my foot on the accelerator and I was stopped 6 feet back from the pickup in front of me. I am now afraid something is wrong with the car causing this to happen and it should be evaluated by Tesla. I reported this to Tesla and was told I would hear something back in 3-5 weeks. The damage can be fixed to the car but I am now fearful of driving it.

My car is a 2020 Model Y, delivered on June 27, 2020. This fall, I've had an issue crop up that looks like it's been addressed in the past (at least for models s, x and 3 before March 31, 2019). The problem is that on several occasions (specifically on 11/26/20) while driving on city streets and with humid and cool weather (here in iowa) I've had a report on my display indicating that the b pillar camera is obscured. This, of course, would disable auto drive (including auto lane change) but I'm also concerned that this blind spot may mean that lane change protection during traffic aware cruise control (I. E. * auto drive) will not work, or not be very effective, either. The only formal reference I can locate for this problem is service bulletin sb-20-12-002 but the remedy proposed there has apparently been implemented on all production vehicles starting on March 31, 2019. Well, that solution for this design defect clearly does not work. On November 26, 2020 (the date of the first occurrence of this issue on my Model Y), I requested a service appointment. This was based on the seriousness of the problem given the display warning I received which requested that I stop the vehicle and clear the obscuration immediately. Upon stopping, a glance at the b pillar camera location showed that the issue was one of condensation on the inside of the protective glass over the camera (see attached). From online forums, it's clear that I'm far from alone in having this issue. My service appointment date was originally set for December 17, 2020 but has been canceled as of today. The service center handling my requests is saying that this is "normal" operation of the vehicle and, while the camera may be operating as designed, I disagree that it should be working this way since it removes blind spot awareness from the vehicle's software system and the occurrence is random.

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.

I realized that Model Y 2020 doesn't not have pedestrian warnings speakers even though my car built is from 2020 (between June-August). I took this delivery of Model Y in early first week of September. I am wondering NHTSA mandate this law in September of 2019. Since my car do not have even produced in 2020. I am really concerned about pedestrian popping out from no where. There were some times I almost near miss pedestrians. This mandatory feature could have helped.

Secondary front hood safety latch failed causing my hood to open while on highway.
