2 Cruise Control problem of the 2021 Tesla Model Y

Failure Date: 10/02/2021

At random times, without warning, cruise control changes from set speed (e. G. 70mph) to 45mph and vehicle immediately begins hard braking to achieve new set speed. Any cars following may not be able to react quickly enough to avoid a collision if the driver doesn't react quickly enough to command acceleration back to freeway speed. I sent multiple videos of this happening to Tesla's service department. Tesla virtual service has looked at vehicle's logs and says there's nothing wrong with the vehicle and that it must be in how the vehicle is interpreting fleet data and map data. Clearly a software bug not validating it's input for reasonableness. No audible warning and while the cruise set speed does change on the display, the deceleration happens simultaneously, so no actionable visual warning is given to prevent the uncommanded deceleration and one must react immediately.

3 Cruise Control problem of the 2020 Tesla Model Y

Failure Date: 11/14/2020

We recently purchase Tesla Model Y on 29th September 2020. We notice more than twice while driving Model Y on freeway at 65mph and the car decided to randomly slam the braked (panthom braking) while in autopilot in middle of the freeway. We were on garden state parkway in NJ. We did reported to Tesla via voice command but no we been scare driving the Tesla on cruise control or auto pilot and worried about rear end accident. Its very dangerous and safer issue. There has been no response from Tesla. While researching about panthom breaking in Tesla, I found so many Tesla car customer having same issues. It's been happening with all the Tesla cars since 2016. Seems like there has been no action taken from Tesla. We notice auto pilot will brake at same spots on the highway near shadow of light in night. This seems to be at exits and it really dangerous. I also read on the net that phantom braking is happens shadows under bridges phantom, I have no reason to suspect it has been fixed. Please take a look into this issue. Its been out there and it is very scary when driving car on auto pilot or cruise control.
