Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Tesla Model Y - part 2

Incident summary: car computer (hw3) suffered internal hardware failure on 12/17/25 following software update 2025. 44. 3. While the media screen and rearview camera functioned, the autopilot board (apb) was "mia. " Tesla randolph (invoice #3000s0015357298) confirmed the internal failure and replaced the unit. Safety risk: failure disabled safety-critical adas: automatic emergency braking (aeb) and forward collision warning. Driving visualizations were severely compromised; the vehicle failed to detect pedestrians or lane markings while in motion, creating an immediate collision risk. The car’s active safety "intelligence" was essentially blind despite the camera feed being visible on the screen. Inspection & contradictions: Tesla service confirmed the "internal failure" (12/19-12/23). Note: the service manager verbally claimed "no codes," but the official invoice explicitly states technicians "found multiple alerts present. " part was retained by Tesla. Warning symptoms: failure followed a software reboot loop. Symptoms (mia board/power cycle failure) match recall 25v-002. Vehicle had only 36,289 miles. Reporting as potential hw3 defect expansion.

While full self-driving (supervised) was fully engaged (blue steering wheel icon active), the vehicle approached an uncontrolled intersection, selected the wrong path, hesitated severely (camera shaking violently), provided zero visual or audible warnings, and completely ignored driver's emergency brake input (pedal depressed >90% approximately 1. 5 seconds before impact). The vehicle continued forward by inertia and collided with a roadside curb, resulting in wheel damage. Attached dashcam video clearly shows: • fsd active throughout the event • no alerts or chimes • violent steering oscillation/hesitation • driver's foot slamming brake pedal with no deceleration • impact despite timely braking this incident matches the ongoing NHTSA investigation pe25-012 regarding fsd intersection hesitation and failure to respond to driver input.

When using cruise control (traffic aware cruise control and autosteer) the car acts dangerously and stops for no reason. I've been driving on open roads with no traffic in front of me on regular roads, the car will slam on the brakes and it causes the people behind me to need to slam on their brakes as well. I feel like I'm going to get into an accident constantly. . . I was on the freeway and no one around in front of me and the car slammed on the brakes to almost a stop on a 70 mph speed limit road. Today the same thing occurred in high traffic on a 55mph road, luckily the driver behind me wasn't to close and was able to stop in time . . . There is no option to use regular cruise control or disable enough features to prevent this from occurring. . . It's incredibly terrifying. If they can't do traffic aware cruise, there should be the option to do regular cruise. . . And it shouldn't require passing Tesla $8000 for full self driving to be able to drive your car at a speed without the that of being rear ended. This feels like extortion. . . I've submitted feature requests to Tesla, talked to their bot about fixing this and I've currently been on hold for almost an hour without any response. This dangerous tech is unacceptable!.

I am reporting two severe 'phantom braking' incidents involving my Tesla vehicle while driving without autopilot. In both instances, the vehicle initiated hard emergency braking on a high-speed roadway with no obstacles, pedestrians, or vehicles in my path. This sudden, uncommanded deceleration created an immediate risk of a rear-end collision from following traffic. Incident 1: November 2025 at approximately [xxx]. I was traveling at 30 mph on [xxx] . The car suddenly braked to 0 mph. Weather was sunny, and the road was straight. There were several vehicles following behind me. Incident 2: [xxx], at approximately [xxx]. Location: [xxx], honolulu. The vehicle decelerated from 10mph to 0 mph without warning. In both cases, the car stopped suddenly and was placed in park. I had to put the car in drive to resume driving. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Self driving was maintaining vehicle. Looked at roadway before reaching down to passengers side for water bottle. The weight shift in the seat turned the self driving off immediately while turning sharp left. The Tesla Model Y crossed the left interstate lane barely missing an 18-wheeler. Drove 80mph in the central ditch, branches, and rocks. Car was still in drive, and rolled up to roadside which was covered in dust. The two eighteen-wheelers that I cut off then drove away, and drove Tesla to next exit to see damage. (dashcam footage available. ).

On November 10, 2025 while my 2025 Tesla Model Y was being driven, in miami, florida, around 2:55–3:05 pm, the brakes failed completely. Despite firm brake pedal pressure, the vehicle did not slow down or stop as expected and continued forward until a collision occurred. The brake pedal felt normal with no loss of resistance, but the car did not decelerate as expected. No forward collision warning (fcw) or automatic emergency braking (aeb) activated prior to impact. There were no audible or visual alerts displayed before or during braking. After the collision, the vehicle’s screen displayed messages stating “airbags deployed” and “automatic emergency braking is unavailable. Feature may be restored on next drive. ” however, the airbags did not deploy. A burst of white particulate dust, consistent with airbag propellant or deployment powder, was released inside the cabin. None of the vehicle’s cameras recorded the incident; there is no dashcam or sentry mode footage from that time. At the same time, the cell phone, which was actively linked to the vehicle through bluetooth and the Tesla app, stopped transmitting location data through the life360 app for a few minutes. This may indicate a coinciding electrical or data interruption affecting both the vehicle and connected devices. This incident placed my families safety and that of others at serious risk. Multiple safety systems appear to have failed simultaneously, including the braking function, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, camera recording systems, and airbag deployment.

My vehicle experienced multiple safety system malfunctions before a minor collision occurred. While driving, the car displayed warnings indicating that traction control had been disabled, followed immediately by a warning that the automatic vehicle hold/brake hold was disabled. These failures happened before any impact. At the same time, the vehicle’s cameras were not functioning correctly, and the vehicle did not provide any forward collision warning. The automatic emergency braking system also did not activate. Because these systems failed, the vehicle did not warn, slow down, or brake to avoid a collision. After the collision, the vehicle showed several additional safety system failures. These included automatic emergency braking unavailable, and repeated safety restraint system faults affecting both the front left and front right restraint systems. The airbags did not deploy even though conditions suggested they should have, and afterwards the vehicle displayed persistent airbag and seatbelt system error icons. The restraint system appears to have gone offline. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive due to failures in braking, traction control, perception/camera systems, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and the airbag/restraint systems. These failures occurred before the collision, contributed to the collision, and continued afterward. The manufacturer’s service center has declined to provide towing or a loaner or rental vehicle while the safety defects are being investigated, which will take about 30 days.

On November 8, my 2024 Model Y suddenly came to a complete stop from about 40 mph while I was driving with no cruise control or autopilot active. This was extremely dangerous — my [xxx] was in the car, and we were lucky no one was behind us. It put myself, my child, and others in the absolute risk of collision and injury. When I contacted the service center they said it sometimes happened due to "shadows" or "sun". They refused to run a diagnostic on the car for free and wanted me to pay for it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving ~40 mph with no autopilot or cruise control active, my 2024 Model Y suddenly braked itself from 40 ? 0 mph for no reason. The road ahead was clear. I did not touch the brake. My 3-year-old was in the car. We were nearly rear-ended and could have been seriously injured. When I went to Tesla service, the manager insisted I must pay a $270 diagnostic fee unless they “find a problem,” while also saying the incident was likely caused by “shadows. ” this makes me believe they will simply say “no issue found” and charge me despite this being a severe safety malfunction. When I reached out to Tesla customer support, they stated it was a known issue. This poses a serious risk of rear-end collisions, injuries, or fatality, and Tesla is not addressing it.

I was trying to park my vehicle on a normal street and Tesla's automatic emergency braking app_w050 kicks in and aggressively brake when I try to parallel park.

On October 2, my Model Y battery was replaced with a defective cell. Tesla service center replaced the battery. The vehicle could not charge or operate, making it unable to be driven. Today, November 2, while driving my car, my Tesla abs system and other battery components experienced total failure while driving. For a brief period of time, I was unable to brake completely and my vehicle felt like it was skidding. At the time this occurred, my 1 year old daughter and pregnant wife were in the vehicle. This could have been much worse.

There was a sudden unintended acceleration and the brake did not work, causing a major accident. Car caught fire and door would not open. The car has completely engulfed. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. Vehicle has been inspected by insurance and police, but not by manufacturer.

Client was severely injured (traumatic brain injury, fractured skull bone and ankle with ongoing cognitve and physical symptoms, probably permanent) as a pedestrian when crossing rt 28 in chatham, MA. He was struck by a 2023 Tesla Model Y in reduced roadway visibility conditions due to sun/shade conditions. The auto braking system failed to activate in time to avoid the collision. This appears to be directly related to NHTSA investigation pe24031.

My Model Y Tesla deployed the emergency brake system while I was driving the vehicle. There wasn’t any vehicle or anything in the way for my Tesla to do the emergency brake. I did get whiplash from the incident and been experiencing neck and shoulder pain. Lucky I was able to get an appointment to service my Tesla the next morning but at this moment they haven’t given me any diagnostic. My Tesla did have a message related to the camera that showed up like 5-10 minutes prior to the incident but the warning message disappeared after a few seconds.

On October 8, 2025, while using full self-driving (fsd) to drive to a hospital in oak park, illinois, the vehicle experienced sudden unintended acceleration during the disengagement of fsd. As the vehicle approached the hospital area, I initiated disengagement of fsd to manually enter the parking area. During—or immediately after—the disengagement, the vehicle suddenly accelerated at full power without warning, causing an immediate loss of control and a collision with a nearby fixed structure. No system warnings or alerts were issued prior to the event, and the acceleration was so abrupt that manual intervention was not possible. This occurred in a low-speed, street-level environment where no acceleration was intended or expected and does not correspond to any normal driver input. Based on review of preliminary incident data provided by Tesla, there appear to be irregularities during the fsd-to-manual control transition, including missing or invalid input values, gaps in accelerator/brake/steering signals, and speed readings inconsistent with the crash severity. These indicators suggest potential instability in the real-time control system during disengagement. This report is submitted due to concern that sudden unintended acceleration during fsd disengagement may represent a safety defect with potential risk to drivers and the public.

Yesterday on October 1st I was driving car recently last few days my car usually go more right side but I thought this may be due to keep in lane car feature or something so I didn’t bother much but yesterday when I was driving at around 11:13 am I didn’t know I reciived notifications in car about 1. Automatic vehicle hold disabled 2. Tracking control disabled 3. Stability control disabled 4. Break pedal regenerative breaking unavailable 5. Lane departure avoidance feature unavailable 6. Automatic emergency breaking unavailable and I see from y car pe drive vidio recording in 11:14 minute one my car hit curb and it damages my both side wheel and tire so badly damaged and broke like out of both pieces came off but didn’t flat my tire and when this happens I was trying it break but it didn’t break instead in lost all function so it was kind going fast and lost all control and with lot of work my car wind on side and then completely turn to other side this all happened in few seconds and was very scary I wasn’t far from Tesla service centre and I have wheel protection and tire protection plan so I took straight to Tesla service centre and I ask them about using my that plan and after some time they said based on damage and they check video they said this is collision and at that time I wasn’t aware what to do and this and that and I wasn’t fighting and I didn’t know about video or notifications all untill they show me and ask me to file insurence claim for collision and luckily I took picture of notification picture in car at that time and then I end up following insurence claim process in hour of something it took me and then went in car to take Tesla flash drive and my stuff I saw they put vehicle in service mode and all notifications were cleared and I even tell them luckily there wasn’t car near by or highways and no one on street and it avoided big incident but all this failure due to impact or this impact due to failure I want investigation because I suspect.

I was driving along one of the main highways in orlando, florida called [xxx], on Wednesday [xxx], in my Model Y Tesla. I was between the exits of [xxx], and [xxx]. I was in the middle lane. There was a software update issued the previous Sunday. The warning came on the display that the lane changing was not valid. At that point the car took over and accelerated. The brakes would not work, until I slammed on it after 3 times, and the car began to decelerate. The air conditioner went off, along with the electrical turn signals. I as able to get off at the [xxx] exit for it is a bit of a "hill" up in florida, but knew I could coast into a lane hopefully no one would be in. I was able to at least coast into a parking lot, and bump the car into a concrete barrier, and a tree infront of the barrier. The car would not respond to park, neutral or the emergency brake. I tried re-booting the car 3 times and nothing. I had to call a tow truck to tow to the Tesla service center in clermont, florida. They could not get it in park either and had to drag the Tesla onto the flatbed. After 5 days of not responding to my text, I walked into another Tesla service center to plead my problem. Long story short, there is an unexplained anomaly that is in the canbus and cannot duplicate the error. More $ to have to tested for another week. They gave me a loaner to use, a model s. After a few days driving it the loaner screen went blank and I was stranded. I had their loaner towed back to the service center. They will not 100% address the problem. They know it is in the canbus system, but now I definitely am scared to drive the car or get it back. How do I know if they will really tell me it is fixed? I fear if I get back in the car.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the full self-driving (fsd) system malfunctioned. While traveling northbound with the flow of traffic in the middle lane of a surface street, the vehicle initiated a sudden right turn onto a freeway on-ramp at excessive speed and without adequate steering input. This resulted in the vehicle colliding with the left-side barrier. The vehicle is currently in the custody of state farm insurance and can be made available for inspection upon request. Dashcam footage of the incident has been preserved. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the unexpected maneuver caused the vehicle to lose control and strike the barrier, placing both the driver and other motorists at risk. The driver had no time to react to this unexpected action. The driver sustained a whiplash injury along with left shoulder and right chest pain. If another vehicle had been present in the adjacent lane, a collision could have occurred. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no. The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center at this time. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? the vehicle has been inspected by state farm insurance for collision damage. A request has been made to Tesla to preserve and provide all electronic data logs, event data, and over-the-air communications. No law enforcement or ems responded at the scene. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no warning lamps, messages, or alerts were displayed prior to or during the incident. The maneuver occurred suddenly and without any indication that corrective driver action was needed.

Vehicle autopilot settings with default settings, 1) traveling marked highway speed of 75 mph, vehicle detects something in either the lane to the right or left will slam on the brakes possibly causing a rear end collision, 2) traveling at marked highway speed of 75 mph, vehicle detects curve signs either to the right or left will slam on the brakes possibly causing a rear end collision, 3) traveling in town at marked speed of 40 mph, vehicle detects a vehicle turning at a safe distance for the speed either right or left will slam on the brakes possibly causing a rear end collision. Vehicle autopilot settings: forward collision warning “off”, lane departure avoidance “off”. Emergency lane departure avoidance “off”, automatic emergency braking “off”, obstacle-aware acceleration “off”, will remain set for the current drive without any of the above safety issues. Next drive the automatic emergency braking “on” and the above safety issues can happen. Tesla must make immediate software improvements in the automatic emergency braking system and/or allow continual “off” setting disabling of the automatic emergency braking system.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Tesla, inc. Regarding multiple critical safety failures that occurred with my Tesla Model Y (VIN: [xxx] ) during a collision on Saturday, [xxx], while I was traveling eastbound on [xxx] from the [xxx] exit to the [xxx] exit in pennsylvania. At approximately [xxx], I was driving in the left lane when a BMW SUV abruptly cut into my lane ahead of me, accelerated briefly, and then suddenly braked. I immediately applied the brakes multiple times in an effort to stop my car. Even though there was sufficient space to stop safely, the braking system failed to respond, resulting in a collision with the BMW in front of me. Despite my efforts to avoid the impact, the following dangerous and unacceptable failures occurred at the time of the accident: 1. Failure of regenerative braking / deceleration: when I lifted my foot from the accelerator, the vehicle did not decelerate as expected under Tesla’s regenerative braking system. 2. Failure of braking system: despite pressing the brake pedal twice—including a heavy application—the braking system failed to prevent collision, contrary to Tesla’s advertised safety performance. 3. Failure of collision-avoidance features: critical safety systems—including automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and obstacle-aware acceleration—did not engage to mitigate or prevent the impact. 4. Failure of airbag deployment: despite the severity of the crash, none of the airbags deployed, exposing me to serious risk of injury and raising grave concerns about the integrity of the Model Y’s occupant protection systems. 5. Post-collision failure of regenerative braking: following the accident, when I attempted to drive the vehicle, the regenerative braking system was completely non-functional, creating a continuing safety hazard and rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I was using the full self driving feature of the vehicle. At an unusual intersection, there was a flashing do not turn right light because of a train. The car turned right ignoring the do not turn sign and headed for the railroad tracks. I had to slam on the brakes because the car was not going to stop. If a driver is not paying attention they will die. I have video of the whole thing.

24 hour after taking delivery, operating on full self driving on a residential street at 25-30 mph, the car struck a landscaping trailer parked on the right. The tailgate of the trailer was down and the car struck the left rear upright post of the trailer causing significant damage to my car. No automatic breaking occurred: the car struck the trailer at full speed. The collision alarm sounded just as the vehicle struck the trailer, not before. I requested vehicle status info form Tesla, but the video stops well before the collision and I can't decipher the rest. But I can send it to you if it would be helpful,.

My Tesla Model Y was in full self driving mode when it turned into a garbage truck, leading to a total loss to my car. There were no warnings from the Tesla system that could have helped me prevent the crash. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but my car is not longer usable.

I was in a parking lot and activated autopilot while the car was next to a stationary pillar near a parking space. Immediately after activation, the vehicle failed to detect the pillar and drove directly into it. The impact happened so quickly that there was no practical opportunity for human intervention to avoid the collision. There may or may not have been a warning, but even if a warning was displayed, it occurred too late to allow the driver to react before the impact. The system did not provide effective parking collision warning or apply automatic emergency braking. This incident caused damage to the driver-side door and mirror. My safety and the safety of others were at risk because the system failed to prevent a collision with a fixed obstacle. No inspection has yet been performed by Tesla service.

I was provided a Tesla Model Y juniper demo vehicle for a test drive on August 3, 2026 and the incident took place in it around 6:00 pm (±45 min). Full self-driving (fsd) was engaged. I had placed an order for a new Model Y on August 2 and took delivery on August 10 (different VIN). During the demo, fsd initially performed well: it autoparked into an apartment parking spot and exited once correctly. However, the second time, the system made a dangerous maneuver. It activated the left indicator and accelerated rapidly as if entering a roadway, but instead turned left directly into a pole. The pole struck the rear door. I braked, but the system’s sudden move left no time to react. A reasonable human would have exited slowly and cautiously, but fsd acted abruptly and unsafely. My pregnant wife was in the passenger seat, and both of us were frightened. This incident raised serious concerns about fsd’s ability to handle low-speed, high-precision situations. The car should have detected the pole and stopped, yet it did not. If a child or pedestrian had been nearby, the consequences could have been severe. This also makes me question whether fsd could make dangerous high-speed maneuvers. At the Tesla showroom, we were told fsd drives “better than a human,” which misled us as new customers. This was the first car I purchased, and I was unfamiliar with fsd’s limits. Only after the incident did I realize how risky it can be. In my new Tesla, although offered a free fsd trial, I have chosen not to use it. Tesla’s claims administrator, fleet response, has since sent me a repair bill of $7,611. I was never asked to sign any waiver, never shown liability terms, and was told demo drives are insured. This incident shows serious safety concerns and misleading sales practices regarding fsd at Tesla.

The gps and camera functionality went out on the same day several days ago. The car thinks it is at Tesla’s headquarters in CA and so you cannot find a charging station near your actual location, and no cameras work meaning the additional safety features for collisions do not function at all. This is a widespread issue based on Tesla user forums.

Vehicle make/model/year: 2026 Tesla Model Y (launch series) incident date: [xxx] incident location: [xxx] system/component involved: automated driving systems / autopilot / steering what happened: while driving my new 2026 Tesla Model Y on autopilot, the vehicle suddenly turned off the main road near [xxx] , and steered toward the curb. I immediately pressed the brake, but due to the vehicle’s speed, it still hit the curb, causing damage to the front right tire, wheel well liner, and triggering multiple system error messages. Shortly after, I witnessed another Tesla model 3, also using autopilot, make the exact same wrong turn at the same location and crash into the curb. No injuries occurred, but this appears to be a mapping or autopilot software issue that can cause vehicles to leave the roadway unexpectedly, creating a serious safety hazard. Tesla is preparing the incident data, but this report is being filed to alert NHTSA of a potential autopilot safety defect in this area. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle in front of us came to a sudden stop, but my Tesla failed to issue any alerts or activate automatic braking. When we attempted to brake manually, the car did not allow full braking and continued moving forward, ultimately causing a collision. This strongly suggests a malfunction in the Tesla’s safety or braking system. As a result, I’ve suffered significant financial losses due to the vehicle being totaled and damage caused to other vehicles/other persons injuries involved. This incident is also likely to lead to increased insurance premiums moving forward.

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.

The Tesla “self driving” features are inconsistent, at best, and frequently fail. I can not believe that the government approves these capabilities or the Tesla is accepting liability for road use. If these features are not reliable under supervised conditions, why would they be considered safe for robo taxi release? I have repeatedly tried to report this to Tesla and they say the systems are operating as designed.

On [xxx], at approximately [xxx], I was driving westbound on the [xxx], just before the [xxx] and [xxx] off-ramp, with my wife and our [xxx] baby in the car. While in traffic, I noticed the regenerative braking system was not slowing the vehicle down adequately, despite having a clear and sufficient distance from the big rig ahead of us. As the gap closed, I slammed down on the brake pedal, but it felt abnormally stiff and did not respond with the urgency or force expected. The vehicle failed to stop in time, resulting in a rear-end collision with the big rig. Thankfully, we were not injured due to the speed of the accident. The breaks have not been inspected due to it being in the collision center there was an alarm but it sounded off too late and the car ended up colliding. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Shortly after I purchased this car it began to put itself into park while the car was moving slowly and even when it was in car wash mode going through a brush carwash that requires cars to be in neutral. I reached out to Tesla support to investigate and they explained this is a safety feature that engages if the driver leaves the seat while the car is not in park. I explained to them that in both cases I had been sitting firmly in the seat and there should have been no reason for the car to put itself in park and asked them how I turn this auto feature off. They said there was no way to turn it off. I explained to them that all automation features should be optional, they argued with me. Came to find out some sensor in my driver's seat was malfunctioning. They took the car to replace the seat/sensor, but I reiterated that all these auto features should be optional and a consumer should be able to turn them off. My car was rendered unsafe to drive due to the malfunctioning sensor, I should have had a way to turn off the feature, I asked them to open a ticket with their engineers to add settings to turn off this automation feature. Fast forward to 6/25/25, as I am pulling my car into a parking space at a store the car slams itself in park, so hard that I thought maybe I had hit something hard with one of my wheels. I followed back up with Tesla support and am being told there is still no way for me to turn off this automation feature. No automation feature should ever be hard coded into a motor vehicle. The risk presented by malfunctioning automation features is too great, and if I want to completely control every aspect of my car I should be able to, regardless of how much automation it is capable of. I am filing a complaint now because Tesla is clearly not taking these concerns seriously.

I was driving on an intestate hwy I-70 east bound on the left lane and I was about to take the exist 62. I was on cruise control and it was raining and the road was wet. When I tried to change the lane the car auto braked and car skid and rotated 360 degrees and hit the railing. The car got damaged front and back. Luckily there was no vehicle near us so my family was safe. But I dont know why the car auto braked and one should not hard brake when the road is wet. I called 911 and Tesla insurance. I took the car to the body shop and they are deeming it total loss. Please take necessary actions so it doesnot happen again.

Phantom braking on the highway. We were the only car and without warning the car slammed on the brakes. There was nothing for the vehicle to hit in the road or cross traffic. It did this 3x in 35 miles. This has happened both while just cruise control and when the full self driving was on. We are too worried to use either of there is any traffic around us. We have not been to dealership yet. Fast beeping when it hits the breaks. Have not seen any alarms.

I was driving my 2026 Tesla Model Y when another vehicle pulled out from a driveway and struck the front/side of my car. The Tesla failed to initiate automatic emergency braking (aeb) and no airbags deployed. This raises serious concerns about the functionality of Tesla’s safety systems in real-world scenarios. The vehicle has not been modified in any way and was in standard driving mode. I have contacted Tesla support requesting a diagnostic and explanation, but I believe this incident should also be reviewed as a potential safety defect.
