36 Assist problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2021

I purchased the Tesla full self-driving capability via subscription for my 2021 Tesla Model Y on Saturday, July 17, 2021. On Sunday, July 18, 2021 at approximately 12:40pm CT. While activating the Smart summon feature in a private residential parking lot, the car drove itself into a tree damaging the front of the car resulting in a total cost of $1,799. 32. Tesla is refusing to refund me the $200. 00 for the self-driving subscription after their software malfunctioned. This is a dangerous feature that is available to millions of drivers.

37 Assist problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2021

I would like NHTSA to force automakers to stop using names for their driver assistance features that overstate the capabilities of those features. A driver assistance feature should be allowed to be sold as autopilot if it cannot pilot the vehicle automatically. A driver assistance feature should not be allowed to be sold as "full self-driving" if it cannot drive itself fully. It is deceptive, dangerous, and wrong. "driver assistance standard" and "driver assistance plus" are fair, safe, and appropriate terms that do not immediately tempt abuse. Please immediately act in the interest of consumer and public safety to stop these misleading and unsafe practice by automakers. I submit this on behalf of the 4/16/2021 harris county, TX crash victims, those who have come before, and those who will continue to die believing they are in a self-driving car.
