NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2022 Tesla Model Y. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
Data synced from NHTSA on May 4, 2026
The lane departure warning goes off frequently and at random times when there is no issue with it at all. The windows are constantly malfunctioning and turning down when there is nothing obstructing the path of the window. The tail lights will go out at random times and will only be notified by other drivers particularly at night making the vehicle unsafe to operate and unreliable.
Wanted to report a problem with Tesla's map navigation and adaptive cruise control (what they refer to as "Autopilot). I haven't seen this reported in the media so wanted to report it here. The map navigation system is problematic, when navigating using the map on the freeway, it will reroute a different path because it somehow thinks I am driving on surface streets. It does this consistently. Because of that, the car when on "Autopilot" will stop in the middle of the freeway, which is incredibly dangerous. This system aims to be safe (by stopping) but also causes greater danger to the following cars by having the car brake. This could be the source behind the "phantom braking problem" that is reported in the media.
All safety features - backup, turn signal and blind spot camera detections stopped working on November 22, 2022. Tesla gave me appointment to bring in the car on 11/28/22 then emailed me informing appointment pushed back to 12/8/22 and today emailed informing appointment pushed back again to 12/12/22. The car is not drivable without these safety features as it poses the risk of accident that could harm driver and other on the road. Tesla is not responding at all for providing a replacement vehicle, while this car is still under warranty.
While driving at freeway speeds, a vehicle cut me off. In order to avoid a collision, I pressed the brake pedal causing all brakes to lock up and the vehicle skidded. I felt the vehicle starting to hydroplane sideways over the dry surface and I heard the screech of the tires. I released the brake pedal, I felt the tires regain traction and I corrected the direction of travel. It was apparent that the ABS system did not function as intended. I contacted Tesla Service and they sent me a message stating that my vehicle needs to be repaired. I am still waiting for the estimate so I do not have specifics as to what needs to be repaired, but since they are having me take the vehicle to their shop, it appears that it can not be repaired over the air. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure.
Tesla was in "full self-driving” (FSD) mode in a quiet residential area. Vehicle chose to make a left turn on a less than perfectly symmetric T junction. The car was on the thru street at the top of the T. Street had a middle yellow turning zone with yellow lines on the outer side and dotted ones inside. Camera was not filming at the time the crash began. but did start recording midway. Tesla may have other footage. In retrospect, while indicating it was intending to turn, I believe the car never entered the middle yellow zone, but instead proceeded directly to the middle of this unusually wide neighborhood intersection where no other vehicles were close by in any direction, although a few were approaching from a distance. It appeared safe to complete the turn, but instead the car feinted forward several times and hesitated to commit to the turn as cars gradually approached from both directions, but were still a safe distance away. As I waited for it to turn, the vehicle suddenly accelerated at an alarming rate into the turn, so fast that it slid off the road and over the curb into a wall causing extensive damage to the vehicle. There were no other cars involved and I was not injured, although the car suffered extensive damage and is still being repaired more than two months after the accident. My foot was definitely not on the accelerator throughout the accident and everything happened so very quickly that I had no time to brake or take other action. The oncoming car was quite far away and there was plenty of time to turn safely. If the car issued a warning (although I did not detect one) it would have been almost simultaneous to the amazingly rapid acceleration, leaving no time to react. My speculation is that in its confusion, the vehicle may have transferred nearly instantly from FSD mode to “Accident-Avoidance” Mode, but only Tesla would have that information.
There is an outstanding recall 22V702 - automatic window reversal systems and the next course of action is that Tesla will deploy an over-the-air (“OTA”) firmware update to affected vehicles. However, my tesla account doesn't have that software available yet. Registrar of Imported Vehicles has searched the records for the above referenced vehicle and has either detected an outstanding recall, or has been unable to verify the current recall status of this vehicle. So unfortunately, they are unable to release an inspection form until such time as they need confirmation that the recall, if any, has been corrected, or that there are no outstanding recalls for this vehicle. Steps taken by me to eradicate this: 1) I tried contacting the tesla dealer at various locations in Canada and USA. 2) I did reach out to the Tesla manufacturer and they told me that they will try to deploy firmware updated for my vehicle and they told me to wait for 1 business day( this conversation happened like 5 days ago) and some associate from this location will reach out to me and i can visit that service center for the resolution of recall. Tesla dealers along with their service centres are totally unaware of what’s going on and don’t have visibility of when this software will be available. This is very big blocker for me as my car will not be registered in Canada. Can we please resolve this recall so that my import process gets completed. This is surely emergency case where I am unable to drive my vehicle and I will be charged too. I have already exhausted those days. Tesla is unable to solve this. Can we please escalate this issue and solve this recall on my car and also once done Tesla should issue recall clearance certificate that I need to submit to RIV for my inspection process.
Narrative November 18, 2022 At approximately 8:30 in the morning I was driving my new Tesla Model Y through the rolling hills of South Central Pennsylvania on I-70 heading to Breezewood in order to catch the Pennsylvania Turnpike West. Suddenly and without warning, the car began to break as hard as a car can brake without skidding. Almost like a full panic stop. The car must have stopped in four or five seconds from 60 miles an hour. I was in the left lane at the time and I tried to get over onto the shoulder but I was unable. The car came to a complete stop in the middle of the right lane. The car was in the center of the right lane and was completely locked up. I was unable to get it into neutral. I was unable to get it into a gear so I turned on the emergency flashers. Right behind me were three semis. The first one had to swerve to avoid me. The trailer almost flipped over into me. The semi behind him had to swerve to avoid me and thank God there were no cars in the left lane. The third semi had to take evasive action to get around me. I am grateful those three truck drivers were on the ball at that moment. After they went by, I got out of the car and ran up the hill to flag other trucks and cars to move into the left lane. The car had come to a stop on the other side of the top of a crest so cars and trucks didn't have much notice coming up on my car. Meanwhile, I called 911. I stood at the top of the crest for the better part of an hour and a half, maybe two hours waiting for the police to show, but they never did. I did receive some help from passersby who stopped to help and called 911 as well. After almost two hours, a road crew showed up to lay down flares. And finally a tow truck came to tow me to Crystal Lake PA. Almost 8 hours later I finally got my car into a Tesla dealer in Mechanicsburg PA. When I got there [XXX] the service manager told me they did a preliminary diagnostic and determined that the computer chip in the car was defective. The dealer l INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM
The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, he experienced "phantom braking" and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a computer failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.
While using cruise control the vehicle brakes hard when no obstacle is any where near the car in front or sides. Some times hard enough to engage abs and you can feel the car on the edge of losing traction/control. This has happened multiple times on multiple trips.
On 11/17/2022 about 6pm when I drive on highway I -5 from San Diego to irvine, I am driving in the middle of the lane, the car keeps on going to the left and almost hitting the wall when I was on the left lane. I moved to the third lane and the car tried to do the same thing. At one point I lost the control of the car and it suddenly changed to the lane on my left. Fortunately there is no car on my left at that time. I used basic cruise control at that time, not Auto pilot .I have lane departure avoidance on at that time, not sure what's going on. The girl I carpool with said the lanes displayed in the screen is very clear. After I got off the highway, we checked the front camera and it is clean. My husband turned off lane departure avoidance function and restarted the PC of Tesla. We drove in the highway again and Tesla behavior is normal.
Went to get my state vehicle inspection and had heard a noise actually from the time I picked the car up new at dealer. The noise sounded like something rattling in the "frunk" down by front driver wheelwell. I thought nothing if it until the state inspector at the Tesla focused shop in Londonderry NH called me from waiting room and showed me on the lift what the noise was. He showed me what I now know is called a "jam nut" on the tie rod end of the front driver wheel. It was not even touching the actual tie rod end to hold it in place. I noticed after he tightened it the steering wheel became tighter slightly in a good way. The noise I heard was gone since picking the car up as well. This concerns me greatly. I am not sure if other nuts or bolts are correctly set on the suspension or even throughout the car as the robot or human device attaching bolts may have had a muscalibrated device and this likely is not limited to one nut on one vehicle unless it was simply gross human incompetence.
After my 3rd trip to tesla service (required 1 month wait each time I've had this problem since the first week) I video and audio recorded the tesla service team dropping my car off in an overflow lot for 2 and a half days before unplugging my dashcam on the 3rd day. 8 hours later I'm at the dealership and they tell me and I quote "left turns isn't a feature of FSD, just try not to use it anymore. By the way, they unplugged your camera. We found nothing wrong with your car after reviewing one whole day of footage, your cars out front." Then I get to the car and plug my dashcam back in immediately and the master key for all the Teslas is in my car (last time the same manager left their phone in my car and harassed me for hours while I was driving). Then I return the key to the manager on video, leave the parking lot, set my home destination, turn on FSD (Full Self Driving) and less than one mile away at the first turn the FSD makes it drives into oncoming traffic. This is probably the tenth time it has happened and I drive my family and passengers in this car so having to constantly bring it in and be told it has no problems after 10 total days in the shop has opportunity cost me between $2,500-$5,000 in lost revenue plus the intentional emotional infliction by gaslighting me the customer for basically not just letting my car kill me and other innocent people who didn't opt into Beta. Elon wants a war with Apple about censorship whenever I post videos of my tesla driving into oncoming traffic on Twitter because Tesla wont fix it after months (or return my $12,000) it gets banned. Same company different boss, now they censor evidence of Teslas malfunctioning and say you're imagining it LOL. You want a war, fine. I have 5,000 gigabytes of dashcam footage with over 1,000 witnesses (passengers). Now they tell me they cant service my car without evidence being submitted but the app is blocking me from submitting photos and they deleted my job applications on Tesla OS.
I've brought the car into the dealership 3 times and they swear they have gone over the whole car and there are no issues with the car but at the first stop light next to the dealership the car starts driving into oncoming traffic which I recorded on dashcam. The car keeps phantom braking (braking for no reason) swerving towards concrete barriers and brick walls, driving into oncoming traffic on roads its navigated before in the same and different conditions. Just yesterday the indicator noises stopped working so I was forced to reset the car while driving my whole family, this is very dangerous and far too common. I have been harassed by Tesla employees who refuse to find any solution. I have been requesting a refund for FSD since the week I bought the car. This is a huge scam and cover up and when you post videos of your car trying to kill you on twitter or IG (post Elon) they shadow ban you. It is against their agenda. Don't believe the lies this is like ENRON x 1,000. FTX is NOTHING compared to the theft and deciet happening at Tesla.
I was driving on I-70 in Colorado, heading westbound. I had the vehicle in basic "cruise control" speed mode. No autosteer or anything like that. Our of the blue, the car jammed on the brakes on its own, as if it was about to hit something. However, there were no vehicles in the area. It was a significant reduction in speed. Probably from 65-35. Luckily, there wasn't anybody behind me. It was scary, to say the least. There were no warnings prior to the episode. I believe that this is referred to as "phantom brakes". THANK YOU!
Error in glass, broken when closing door
I have been experiencing repeated episodes of phantom braking in which the vehicle will suddenly reduce speed, typically without any other vehicles in the vicinity. I routinely drive from Twin Falls to Boise, which is a distance of about 130 miles, and it regularly happens at least twice. In some instances the speed has dropped suddenly by 15 - 20 mph, which is very frightening, but in other cases the speed only drops by 3 - 4 mph. In all instances there is no reason for the braking. However, the other day it happened with a semi-truck behind me, creating a potentially dangerous situation. This has happened with both cruise control and autopilot. This has been happening since I first purchased the vehicle, which was two months ago. I have 5,000 miles on the vehicle.
The wipers "swipe" when passing interstate streetlight when in the "Auto" mode. Additionally, the "Auto" mode is automatically enabled when the adaptive cruise control is set. It is not possible to turn off the wipers while using the cruise control, making it basically useless at night. I have been advised on two occasions by Tesla Service that this is a firmware issue and there is no fix. The complaint was last verified by Tesla Service on Dec. 1, 2022.
Hi, My main concerned about having a Tesla is not having warning beeping sound when reversing. I almost ran over someone because Tesla rear-view camera doesn't provide virtual alert/audio when getting too close to an object or if a pedestrian decides to walk behind your vehicle while you are about to reverse or pull in reverse into a parking space. I feel this should be a mandatory monitoring system for all Tesla when reversing, just like BMW or ACURA, you do get a beeping warning sound when there's something there or when vehicle is getting too close to any objects. Hopeful that this issue can be corrected asap. I appreciate your help [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH with the Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, the contact experienced unintended braking from the ADAS feature. The contact merged into another lane to regain control of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,200.
Car was at freeway speed (~70mph) and on cruise control, and out of nowhere the brakes were applied by themselves very abruptly. I was almost rear ended on the freeway as a result.
My dual engine Model Y had bilateral engine failure about 1 month after purchase. While driving on highway, first 1 engine failed, then somehow drove to parking where 2nd 3ngine stopped . Concerned that 2 engines could stop working in 1 month old new Tesla Towed to Tesla repair Correction: Inverter - Front Drive Unit (Remove & Replace) Correction: Pyrotechnic Battery Disconnect (Remove & Replace) Parts Replaced or Added Part Quantity DISCONNECT,BATTERY,PYRO.

The contact's wife owns a 2022 Tesla Model Y. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V702000 (Visibility) and 23V085000 (Steering, Electrical System) however, the parts to do the recall repair were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The contact stated while his wife was driving at various speeds with the Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) activated, the vehicle failed to recognize objects and other vehicles. The vehicle drove into the path of oncoming traffic. The contact's wife corrected the failure by maneuvering the steering wheel to realign the vehicle back into the lane. Additionally, the vehicle was shaking while making turns. The vehicle also experienced phantom braking while driving under an overpass. The failure nearly caused a collision. The dealer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle performed as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
I floored the accelerator, and heard a pop. The pedal then remained depressed about 50% of the pedal travel. I was able to drive the car normally, but only using about 50% of the pedal range to do so. I took it to Tesla for service and after diagnosis, had to replace the accelerator and brake pedal assembly. The mounting plate that held both pedals broke. They said it was impossible to break by stepping on either the brake or accelerator. An “outside force” must have caused the failure and they refused to cover the part and labor under warranty.
Automatic braking without obstructing vehicles or obstacles while using both the Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer functions. Occurs multiple times per drive and has occurred on multiple drives. Occurs without warning and places following drivers at risk. Renders these features unusable.
Phantom braking occurs in the Tesla Model Y when the vehicle’s TACC system is engaged. This is not auto drive, this is the systems Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Unexpected Braking occurs decreasing “cruise speed” approximately 8-11 miles per hour in a matter of seconds. On a trip from the Dallas TX area to the Colorado Springs area, this unexpected phantom braking occurred approximately 3 dozen times on open highway and in clear, sunny weather. This is a major safety concern as this brisk deceleration can cause the vehicle to be rear-ended by vehicles following the Tesla.
The front passenger seat airbag does not properly arm when occupied by an adult female weighing between 120-125 pounds. According to the vehicle's Owners Manual, it should arm at any weight in excess of 100 pounds. There is an indicator on the main display that clearly displays when the passenger airbag is armed and when it is unarmed. This is an intermittent issue, occurring more than 50% of the time the seat is occupied. The best we can do to characterize the behavior is as follows: 1) The passenger airbag is more likely to arm correctly if the passenger gets into the car at the same time as the driver. 2) It is less likely to arm correctly if the passenger gets in after the driver has started the car and/or driven it a bit. Two examples: Driver gets in to set the temp or navigation before a trip and passenger gets in a few minutes later, or driver retrieves car from a parking place and then drives a short distance to pick up the passenger. In both cases, the airbag is unlikely to arm correctly. 3) Even after a successful drive (in which the airbag armed), say to the grocery store, it is unlikely to arm when the driver and passenger get back in together a few minutes later. In all cases above, the longer it is driven in a single trip, the more likely it is to randomly arm/disarm itself multiple times during that trip. By failing to correctly and consistently arm when occupied by a 120-pound adult passenger, it leaves said passenger unprotected in case of an accident. Tesla Service performed static, calibrated-weight tests, and confirmed that it takes greater than 125 pounds to consistently arm the front passenger airbag. They have replaced the passenger seat twice so far, and claimed that the most recent seat installed passed the 100-pound test, but the issue persists. The car was serviced for this issue on November 28th, and again from November 23 to December 7. This issue remains to this date (December 19).
Unexpected braking. This occurred several times on a long trip. Each time we we're on a bridge or other structure close to the roadway.
Phantom breaking on autopilot on highways
The AutoPilot or Full Self Driving malfunctions by suddenly braking for no apparent reason. Going from 70mph to 50mph on a busy highway can cause cars in the back to crash into my car. Along a two lane road the car suddenly started braking and veered right when a large 18 wheeler passed in the opposite lane. Causing cars behind to suddenly brake to avoid hitting my car. Another time car suddenly braked because there was a change in color where the road had been patched and there was a slight dip in the road. The problem has been confirmed by many other drivers and NHTSA is looking to the issue. I do not know what the Tesla Company is doing about this problem. There was no warning before the sudden braking happened.
I have been experiencing phantom braking on my Tesla Model Y. It is a new vehicle, which I purchased at the end of September 2022. While driving with cruise control activated, the emergency braking will suddenly engage bringing the car to a sudden slowdown/ stop. This has happened on multiple occasions.
255/45R19 104W XL. I had a flat tire right in the middle of a fast perfectly smooth highway while traveling with a baby, the car is just beyond a month old and it seems the TPMS system failed and the tire has to be replaced at the customer's cost.
Travelling 101 North from Los Angeles to Solvang. I was driving with tesla auto piloit set at 65mph. Middle of the highway, no vehicles around, no bridges or any shadows from anything. Tesla model y braked from 65mph to 20mph suddenly without warning. Serious safety issue, had a vehicle been following me i would have been rear ended.
Driving from L.A. to S.F. on I-5 yesterday, we twice experienced phantom braking while using Autopilot. In both cases, there was no car close in front of us. The system just malfunctioned and suddenly braked from maybe 70 to 55 or even 50, which feels very dangerous in case a car behind us might not notice and rear-end us. It was late afternoon and we were driving somewhat into the sun. It feels like it might have something to do with sun angle and the fact that there was no car in front of us. There were also some mirages on the road that it might have mistaken for a car.
I have Full Self Driving I paid $12,000 for and immediately wanted a return upon receiving the car it doesn't work as described. Tesla declined to refund me for the FSD software months ago. I have brought the car into service 3 times now and Tesla each time says there is nothing wrong with the car despite 5,000 gigabits of my own dashcam footage showing the car driving me into oncoming traffic, swerving towards concrete barriers, not seeing 5 people in a cross walk when turning at 25 mph, randomly SLAMMING on the breaks and much more. The touchscreen will freeze leaving the driver with no turn signals, no speedometer etc. I feel like the car is possessed trying to kill me, I am a full time Uber driver. Tesla service manager tells me with a straight face "just don't use it." "just don't make any left turns". The front facing camera keeps rattling so I pulled the Teslacam footage and the camera is so blurry you can barely see anything so I bring it in for service and they say nothing is wrong. This is beyond dangerous this is a dereliction of duty that will result in lost lives, NHTSA you MUST intervene I have already alerted my Governor and State Attorney, they have verified they have received my testimony. I make a choice every day to get in a car I know is trying to kill me or not be able to feed my family. Tesla service manager Prince HARASSED me by calling 15+ times while I was at dinner with my 9 month pregnant wife and threatening me by telling me he's tracking my car to Publix and to my home. Wouldn't take the car out of service mode until I drove 45 minutes back to return his phone; I should have thrown it off a bridge! because he left his phone in my car with a 1 hour timer counting down. This is a cover-up please launch a REAL investigation Tesla is stealing billions Elon makes Enron look like a hill next to a mountain this just ain't right! Last time I checked 3 service trips without a solution qualifies the car as a Lemon and needs to have recalls.
When engaging cruise control on the highway we experienced phantom braking 2 times in 90 seconds while on an empty road. This was the first time we ever used the cruise control on the highway. The braking was aggressive, and enough to strain the passenger neck. It was scary and without warning. We feel it is too dangerous to use cruise control on our vehicle ever again for feet of causing an accident.
While adaptive cruise control, braking occurs unexpectedly. Might be related to hills, seems somewhat repeatable. Scares the snot out of you when you are doing 80 miles per hour on autopilot/cruise control and your car just stars braking.
I have a new 2022 Tesla Model Y and in less than 500 miles it has already "phantom emergency braked" on 5 separate occasions. The conditions was freeway driving, no traffic within 200-300 yards, daytime, and the geography was gentle rolling hills with little to no vegetation. On all occasions my speed was set at 75-80 mph. The events ranged from momentary autopilot brake application slowing the vehicle about 10 mph to very aggressive autopilot braking slowing the vehicle 30-40 mph. There are no other warning lamps, messages, or pre or post symptoms. Of course it goes without saying how dangerous this is especially if there were a vehicle following closely behind. Tesla is very aware of this problem. This particular vehicle, being brand new, has not had a service appointment to date but I am in the process of setting one up.
While driving on the interstate with the cruise control on the car suddenly applied the brakes. There were no other cars around and no objects on the roadway. This happened twice without warning on 10/09/2022. I have not reported this issue to Tesla yet but plan to.
Vehicle phantom braked while I was on the highway. Someone could have rear-ended me as it happened out of nowhere.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request: Auto high beams; car is available for inspection How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk: In Arlington Heights, IL the car started automatically switching the high beams on and off. At first the auto high beams would engage for 7-10 seconds, then disengage for 7-10 seconds. Then the auto high beams engaged for 2-4 seconds and disengage for 2-4 seconds, as if flashing them. This is unsafe as it is distracting to the driver (me), it can obstruct the view of oncoming traffic, and it makes it appear as if I am driving erratically which can result in a traffic stop / unnecessary police intervention. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center - no, they will not take the vehicle in to their service center and only provided mobile service appointments during the work day. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others - no Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear - the car was recently serviced (October 5, 2022) for a nonfunctioning A/C compressor and heating pump. I am not aware of what other service / software changes+resets were made to the car while out of my possession.
I was using the Autopilot feature on highway and my car experienced phantom break.
Interior Cabin Cameras prior to a certain build date around late May, for all models and trims, do not have the necessary Infrared (IR) Leds to see driver at night/and or dark environments, leading to system to disengage due to “being blinded or covered” if a user has their car in the FSD beta testing software. This issue was reproduced by the Mobile Service Technician and then replaced accordingly, with the new Interior Cabin Camera Fixture with the IR Leds fully solving and correcting the error from before. Their part was not inspected by any agencies and error is displayed before ADAS system disengagement. This issue is also known and reproduced across many different people, with this replacement correcting the issue. Necessary action would involve ordering a retrofit for all cars with the old interior cabin camera to the new interior cabin camera.
Driving on the interstate going 85 in autopilot with no other cars around and the car slammed on the brakes. Nothing in the road.
Ever since I bought my car, the mat under the brakes and accelerator jams under them, I can get jammed and prevents me from operating them. I had a Lexus and that car was recalled because of car mat jamming problems.
Trunk hatch allows water ingress, soaking interior carpet and accumulating interior plastic components and draining down to the trunk hatch latch. It has been into Tesla service three times for the same issue and the issue persists.

On the Highway with cruise control on, the vehicle suddenly braked multiple times when nothing was in front or behind me. There was a truck one time in the next lane.
While driving highway speeds with the cruise control on, car suddenly brakes. No vehicle or obstacle was in front of us. This happened approximately 6 times in 200 miles. 5 of the 6 times happened on the interstate in a rural area.
Intermittently the ability to interact with my touch screen has stopped. This means I cannot access crucial vehicle controls while moving. After trying to get a service appointment to address, Tesla claims that this should be resolved in a future software update but refuses to give a timeline for the release while I continue to have to drive my vehicle in an unsafe manner.
My 2022 Model Y has severe phantom braking problems when cruise control or auto steer is activated. While driving at highway speeds the car slams on the brakes for no reason. This happened several times in 50 miles. I spoke to many other Tesla owners with the same problem. While driving at 70 mph on the interstate the car will suddenly and instantly apply the brakes hard. This is a severe safety issue. I am so scared that this will cause an accident that I have stopped using the cars adaptive cruise control and auto steer functions. I have contacted Tesla like everyone else, but have not gotten a response or fix. Please add this note to your pile of Tesla owners that are very pissed off that nothing is being done to resolve this safety issue.
