Tesla's forward collision system gave another false warning: on June 15, 2023 at 10:00am on reston pkwy at reston, va while I was traveling around 25mph for a car in front of me, with more than plenty of space between cars. This false warning caused a lot of confusion on my side, I tried to figure out what was wrong, the false warning itself distracted from the road. I can see the Tesla's false warning causing accidents in some cases. This needs immediate attention.
My car keeps giving false alarm which itself causes a lot of confusion and safety hazards. This incident took place on June 13, 2023 at 6:13pm on rte 602/reston highway at reston, va. While I was driving on the right lane slowly, Tesla fired a false alarm for the car traveling in front of me, at that time my speed was about 15mph and there was plenty space between the cars. I filed bug report with the manufacturer.
I am filing the following two incidents regarding false and faulty warnings of the forward collision system. I also filed "bug reports" with the manufacturer, will ask for a service appointment. 1. On June 7, 2023 at 9:10am while I was driving from fairfax, va to arlington, va on rte 50, this section of the road had 3 lanes, the left most lane was blocked with a car signaling for a left turn. I am in the middle lane, which is slowed down, there is plenty of distance between my car and the one in front of me. At that point of time, I received a false alarm. 2. On June 9, 2023 at 8:11pm while I was traveling with family on rte 620, one lane slowed down due to approaching a roundabout my car fired another faulty forward collision warning. Everybody in the car is confused, trying to figure out what is going on. There is plenty of distance, double the legally required, between my card and the car in front of me.
My car's forward collision warning system, gave another false warning: 1. May 31, 2023 at 9:04am 2. While driving on rte. 50 at fairfax, va 3. I had more then enough safe distance between my car and the car in front of me the forward collision system provided sound, and visual alarms for the unwarranted situation that I described above. This cause a great deal of confusion, shock and distracted me from the road.
Problem: unintended acceleration on 05/30/23, the Tesla Model Y was parked in a parking spot, southbound facing a building. The car suddenly began to drive forward on its own and struck the curb, an ac unit, and a business office wall. No injuries, but the driver and people in the building (a dental clinic) panicked.
I have my car serviced 4(four) times, most recently on may 26, 2023 at Tesla sterling, va service center. While traveling with family on may 27, 2023, we had three false warning incidents, each caused serious confusion and distress: 1. On may 27, at 12:47pm on alder woods dr. At fairfax va - my car issued a false warning for a legally parked car on the street. 2. On may 27, at 6:51pm on I-495south - my car issued another false alarm for a slow downed traffic, for the car travelling in front of me - going well below the speed limit, with a lot of space between two cars. 3. On may 27, at 6:53pm on I-495south - my car issued a third false alarm for the same slow downed traffic, and for the same car as I described above - going well below speed limit, with a lot of space between two cars. Tesla's forward collision system warnings can't be turned off, the false alarms as I described above cause a lot of confusion. I need to look at the screen to study what was going on, the false warnings system distracts me, which may cause other serious injuries or problems. Also, the forward collision system is connected to Tesla insurance, I am paying 2 times more than what I started to pay, due to false warnings, when I purchased the car 6 months ago, for no good reason.
This incident took place on may 26, 2023 at 3:43pm on rt 608 (west ox rd) at fairfax, va. I had another false alarm warning for a car traveling in front of me with below the speed limit and having more than plenty space between us. My car put a false warning with extreme sounds and visuals, as a result I had to take off my eyes from the road and look at the screen to see what may be going on. I was distracted due to this warning, and I had to 'hard brake' as a result. Tesla's false forward collision warning almost caused an accident as a result. Both false warning and the follow up is captured in the screenshot that I share. I had my car at Tesla service center at 9am same day on the same day (may 26, 2023) for fixing forward collision system malfunctions. The service told me that there is no fix, they are aware of the problems, but there is no fix.
False forward collision took place on may 24, 2023 at 6:18pm on rt. 50 arlington, va in the following form: I was driving on my way home, while driving around 35mph (limit is 45mph), a car in front of was taking the left lane dedicated to turn left, which slowed down. I was going slow (35mph) and there was more than enough space between me and the car in front of me. At this point Tesla's forward collision gave me another false warning.
This incident took place on may 20, 2023 at judicial dr, fairfax va at 1:12pm. I was driving with my family, I changed from left lane to the right lane and the forward collision warning went off for no good reason: I didn't have any cars in front of me, or at my right hand side. Forward collision warning is producing false/phantom warnings.
False forward collision warning incident took place on may 20, 2023 at 9:25pm on alder woods dr. Fairfax, va. The forward collision system mistake a legally parked on the street car for a moving car, and produced a false/phantom warning.
My vehicle has issues correctly identifying forward collisions. There are moments the car produces "phantom forward collision warnings" of objects or people not in the same lane (such as a pedestrian on a sidewalk or a car far outside of a safe stopping distance. However, there are other instances where I would expect a forward collision warning and receive none at all. This is exasperated by environmental factors and road conditions. "Tesla vision" with camera-only detection seems to be highly unreliable based on the environmental factors (such as amount of daylight) or road conditions (speed bumps, construction areas, etc).
Incidents of phantom braking: we took our brand new Tesla Model Y on a road-trip from saint helena CA to scottsdale az and back. We had several incidents of the car slamming on the brakes while in cruise control due to mistakes in recognizing an actual reason to brake. May 11, in arizona on highway 60, single lane road, we were in the right lane heading east when a large white pickup approached in the left lane. Our car mistook the approaching vehicle as a potential collision and slammed the brakes. This occurred a second time with another approaching vehicle at which point we ceased using cruise control. May 17 return trip on highway 10 in the morning, as I was driving with cruise control on, two lane highway, I approached a swale in the road with a change in pavement color. Gray concrete color contrasted with the blacktop patches in the upslope of the swale and the car slammed on the brakes. Same day, same highway, I was in the left lane having passed a slower vehicle. There were two cars behind me, waiting to pass. I put on the right turn signal and began to move into the right lane. There were a series of white jersey barriers on either side of the road. The car mistook these as a potential collision, slammed on the brakes and pushed me back toward the left lane. I applied the accelerator and forced it back into the right lane, avoiding a collision with the cars behind me. May 18 driving north on highway 5, multi lane highway and as my wife was driving and crested a hill there was a wire hanging across the road. In the center of the wire was a camera or some other device. While the wire was at least 6 feet over us, the car mistook it for an obstruction and slammed on the brakes.
This incident, which is a false forward collision warning, took place on may 10, 2023 at 8:56am et on route 50 at arlington, 1. I was travelling on rt. 50 at the left lane 2. Due to morning traffic jam, I, and all the other cars, were moving way below the maximum speed limit 3. On my right, there was another car traveling below the speed line with left signal on 4. Other car didn't make make any lane changes, but its left turn signal kept blinking 5. While I was passing this car, I received a false warning from my Tesla Model Y performance model vehicle 6. Other car, didn't change lanes, it stayed in its own lane.
On may 4, 2023 at 11:51am, at 602/reston pkwy in the area of reston,va Tesla forward collision warning falsely engaged for a moving car in front of me at a legal speed, and having more than abundant distance between two cars. I requested a Tesla service appointment for the third time regarding faulty forward collision warning. I am attaching information about my trip captured at Tesla's mobile app at the trip view section. Please let me know if I can provide more or detailed information. Best, regards.
I had taken my car to the Tesla service center twice in the recent past for the same problem: my car is engaging forward collision warnings for the legally parked cars on the street. I had more than several incidents of the same problem. It creates a big safety situation by showing a moving car in front of me, and indicating that there will be a forward collision. This creates a lot of stress while driving the car, and so much confusion so that I need to give my attention to my surrounding to see where the (false) problem may be. I have reported similar incidents to NHTSA, I strongly believe you need to investigate this case throughly and issue a recall. I am providing a couple noted false incident with time steps to help your investigation. Please reach out if I can be of any assistance, I share my up to data contact information.

I was going to park in front of the store at the shopping mall. Before I reached the parking spot car was not slowing down automatically after releasing the acceleration pedal. I decided to use the brake (which I rarely use because the car stops automatically when you release acceleration pedal) and I really don't remember how everything happened and I might accidentally step on the acceleration pedal instead of brake, but the car was not able to detect any obstacles or objects and I ended up braking heavy metal bench in front of the store and broke into the store. I ended up smashing entire front window and drove into the store as deep as 1. 5 feet breaking the liquor boxes. After this heavy impact the airbags were not deployed. My concern is into two safety issue: airbags not deploying and car safety sensors not functioning.
The Model Y with autopilot plus and autopark enabled lurched forward and crashed into a wall during parking. Just as important a concern is that the car never made a beep, chirp or any other indication or warning that it ever even realized it was driving into an obstacle. We are certain the collision would not have happened had Tesla not removed ultrasonic sensors from the car because the driver has driven many Teslas and even owned a Tesla before but all had uss sensors in them.
This incident is related to the previous incident that I filed with NHTSA issue is 11514358 on March 28, 2023. I had my car serviced at Tesla service on April 14, 2023. I shared all the data and my complaint with the service center located at 22400 davis dr. , sterling, va. I was told the issue is fixed. But, I had exactly the same problem: ai/deep learning technology based Tesla forward collision system mistaken a 'parked on the street car' for a moving car, and it gives me crash warning, thinking that I will be crashing to a moving car. This incident happened at April 21, 2023 at 10:25am at alder woods dr, at fairfax, va. I have other forward collision warning related mishaps, which I will be filing separately.
The car has been giving me fake forward collision warnings. Even in parking lots.
Phantom/false forward collision warning 1. March 28, 2023 while driving on alder woods dr, fairfax, va at 6:21pm forward collision warning activated automatically for a parked car on the street 2. March 28, 2023 while driving on alder woods dr. , fairfax, va at 6:22pm forward collision warning activated automatically for another parked car on the street - same trip as above at 1. , but additional incident 3. On March 25, 2023 on alder woods dr. , fairfax va forward collision warned activated automatically for yet another parked car on the street. When forward collision warning activates the screen turns red, there are high sounding alarms inside the car, it distracts the passenger by creating an unsafe conditions for the wrong reasons.
On February, Friday 17th, 2023 around 10:15pm on 287 exit ramp towards rte 78 west , a truck with a flatbed suddenly went from right to left but the car failed to detect that and we almost collide into the back of it. Collision was avoided only by driver reaction. All collision warning systems failed to detect the situation. Still this is the same behavior we have seen since we bought the car. There is no awareness of close proximity objects. Tesla is acknowledging that critical ultrasound sensors were removed from the car.
Twice while driving in early afternoon on very bright days in the direction of the sun I've received forward collision alerts for no apparent reason. Due to adrenaline I don't remember if I slammed on my brakes or not, but I hope I did. Given that there was nothing in front of me for a substantial distance sudden braking for the alert would have been like a brake check had another vehicle been tailgating me. Date is for most recent occurrence, first occurrence was a few weeks ago.
The car advertising having uss when place the pre-order. But when pick up the vehicle, uss is not there.
When I purchased the car it was sold with certain safety features and those features are not available. It was also a surprise that the sensors were removed and Tesla vision was the replacement. As of today Tesla vision software update has not occurred and many features have been disabled. I cannot understand why Tesla would eliminate the sensors / radar and not have the upgrade to Tesla vision tested and active in my new vehicle. Pretty much all of the advanced driver assistance systems (adas) you list above are not functional. I have written three letters to Tesla since I picked up the "y" model and have not received a response. In those letters I requested the car be returned for a full refund because it was knowingly sold with these features missing!.
When I purchased this vehicle, I was told that all adas features would be available once the cameras calibrated (approximately 50 miles). After 100 miles my wife bumped into a wall in our garage. I opened a ticket and Tesla said the adas features are unavailable until a software update is sent. The sales person who I spoke to were not aware of this. This is extremely dangerous. Drivers are reliant on warnings from features like this and to have the features off without a warning could get someone run over.
