| Service Brakes problems |
Tesla removed the creep/roll braking function (which mimicked an automatic transmission) from the Model Y 2024 forward. You now have to use the accelerator to control slow speed maneuvers like backing. It seems that it would be pretty easy to press the accelerator too much and have the car lurch forward or backwards. Seems like an accident waiting to happen. It would be safer to have your foot on the brake pedal and allow the car to creep backwards similar to an automatic transmission. Tesla should return the "creep" function as an option. This is what china is doing and the us should do the same.
It is impossible to disable automatic emergency, breaking system permanently. The vehicle brakes strongly and abruptly causing the cars behind to slam on their brakes and potentially cause accidents. Every time I disable it, it comes back on next time we get into the car. There has been several instances where the vehicle hit the brakes really hard, even if there was nothing in front of it. . I was told that this is happening because Tesla does not use sensors but realize on cameras for these features and it can be quite wrong. I don’t know how to drive this car safely because the car makes decisions for me. Since it happens all the time, I’m having to keep my foot on the gas, and when it slams on the brakes, I counter it by pressing the gas pedal. The incident date is just an estimate, but it happens all the time.
1. Brake I used the fsd all the way from the new asian market (charlotte, nc) to the t-section of [xxx] and [xxx] (columbia, SC), then changed to driver control and turned to [xxx] (home). Entering the garage, when arrived at the parking spot, I released accelerator pedal and pressed the brake pedal, the car did not stop but pushed forward, and hit a wooden shelf, bbq grill and the drywall. The car, shelf, bbq grill and the wall all damaged. 2. Usb storage the usb memory did not record any information. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
This car is three months old. Driving near my home on a four-lane divided road with 55mph speed limit. While having either cruise or auto-steer enabled and using cruise control only, experiencing ongoing instances—during every drive—of unexpected and unexplained hard, sudden braking, reducing vehicle speed dramatically (multiples of 10mph in less than five seconds). Each time, there has been very light traffic, and there is nothing I can see on the road that could explain the reason for the braking, hence the unexpected nature. The problem could easily cause a rear-end collision soon if another car is following closely, and I’m not able to correct and accelerate fast enough. Vehicle is very clean all around, including camera locations, and the weather is perfectly sunny and temperate each day. I do not recall this event happening while driving at night in my semi-rural area. I have not yet reported the problem to Tesla, so they have not inspected or attempted service on the vehicle.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? there were multiple component and system failures that were experienced. My vehicles autopilot and full self driving took over causing my vehicle to crash head on into a tree. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? my safety and others were at risk because I had no control over my vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no. The car was taken into custody of the insurance company. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no.
