Sudden acceleration, I was driving in my own driveway and a modest speed t15 mph I have a circular driveway and I was ascending up the circle when the car suddenly accelerated without my action. I took myi foot off the accelerator and hit the break but the car did not stop or slow down. It continued up my driveway on my lawn and accross my lawn through a fence and I wound up in my neighbors lot with considerable damage. I was shaken but did not seek medical attention at the time. My neighbor and my wife assisted. The car was towed to Tesla contractor body shop -recon. Where it is now. I have requested that Tesla evaluate and repair the car before I drive it again and pick it up from the body shop. I notified the body shopp(toni mccarthy) and Tesla service(radcliffe service person works for don haddon service manager) . So far nothing has happened . Tesla asked me to send a photo of the accelerator but since the car is still in their authorized body shop, I am unable to do it. I am afraid to drive the car and asked them to tow it from the body shop to the rockville Tesla dealer but they seem reluctant to do this. My wife had a separate prior experience with sudden acceleration . N hoping for NHTSA intervention.
On Wednesday, the 15th of may, 2024 between 1015-1045 am while traveling on sr209, my vehicle unexpectedly accelerated while entering the left turn lane. On ramp to sr:209 northbound, monroe county, pennsylvania. At the time I was giving steering input and had also applied the windshield wiper system. This happened a second time while approaching the intersection of se0611 fronsr209 northbound. While taking my foot off the aclerator pedal to allow for regenerative braking and using the windshield wipers the vehicle accelerated at a quick rate. In both instances I had to apply the brake to slow it down. I noticed Tesla on that date. Tesla related that someone would contact me. No CO text has been made as of the submission of this report.
Front motor of 3-week-old Tesla Model Y became disabled while driving on a highway at 65 mph. This meant the car also lost power steering, traction control, and abs braking. Car was limited to top speed of around 40 mph on a busy highway with very little room to pull over. Car was difficult to steer and braking was greatly reduced. There was no advanced warning of this. Was finally able to pull over, exit and reenter the vehicle, which temporarily corrected the problem. However, when the car was started the next day, the front motor was disabled again, but resolved when the car was restarted. The car was not driven again until Tesla service center was contacted and car was taken in for repair. On the way to the service center, the issue occurred again. The alerts included “front motor disabled - ok to drive. Vehicle power may be limited” the vehicle is not safe to drive since this is happening while traveling at high speeds. Tesla service has not addressed the issue or tried to diagnose the cause yet in spite of the car being at their service center for over a week.
