I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WITH MY FOOT LIFTED ABOVE BOTH PEDALS (BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD. I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MOST OF THESE UNINTENDED ACCELERATIONS WERE DUE TO A DRIVER HITTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SO I NOTED THAT MY FOOT WAS NOT RESTING OR PRESSING ON EITHER PEDAL. I PUT IT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STOPPED, BUT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD NO CRUISE CONTROL OR STEERING AID ACTIVATED. I ALSO HAVE 'CREEP MODE' TURNED OFF.

ON 1/18/20, I WAS TRAVELLING IN MY 2016 TESLA MODEL S P100D EASTWARD ON ANDERSON HILL ROAD TOWARD THE INTERSECTION WITH PURCHASE STREET. THE STOP LIGHT WAS RED. I WAS DRIVING 1MI UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND FREEZING, AND A WET SNOW HAD BEGUN 5-10MIN EARLIER, WITH MINIMAL ACCUMULATION. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST I WAS GOING BECAUSE I HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON. I WAS NOT ON AUTOPILOT. JUST CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE INTERSECTION AND STOP LIGHT CAME INTO VIEW, I TAPPED THE BREAK TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THEN DEPRESSED THE BREAK TO SLOW THE CAR. NOTHING HAPPENED. THE BREAKS WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AND NEITHER DID THE REGENERATIVE BREAKING. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I WAS SKIDDING OR SLIDING. IT SIMPLY FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD NO IDEA I WANTED TO BRAKE. IT WAS VERY VERY STRANGE. IN THOSE FEW SECONDS IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE I WOULD BE DEAD SHORTLY. AS IT HAPPENS, I WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY A LARGE SUBURBAN TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND ON PURCHASE STREET PERHAPS 25 MILES AN HOUR. BOTH HE AND I SEEM TO HAVE EMERGED RELATIVELY UNSCATHED (PHYSICALLY, ANYWAY) THANK GOD. BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT TESLA AND DEMAND ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE CARS COMPUTERS - AND THEIR COMPUTERS AT HQ - SO WE CAN FIND OUT??? WHAT HAPPENED WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND COULD HAVE KILLED BOTH ME ND OTHERS. TO SUMMARIZE: BRAKE FAILURE, BOTH MANUAL AND DEGENERATIVE, IN 2016 TESLA MODEL S CAUSED MASSIVE COLLISION WITH BOTH CARS TOTALLED.

MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT HER SCHOOL AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED (AS SHE WAS PARKING BETWEEN 2 CARS). THE VEHICLE WAS IN CHILL MODE, WHICH MEANS THAT IT CANNOT ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHEN SHE WAS ROUGHLY OF THE WAY INTO THE PARKING SPOT WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WAS IN PERFORMANCE MODE. IT WENT OVER A CURB AND INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE (WHICH WAS ROUGHLY 10-12 FEET PAST THE CURB) BEFORE SHE COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP ITSELF. THIS WAS AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND CHILDREN WERE PRESENT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT. TESLA HAS YET TO RESPOND TO OUR INQUIRIES REGARDING THE INCIDENT.

DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY USING AUTOPILOT THE CAR ACCELERATED AND PULLED LEFT, ENDED UP IN THE OPPOSITE LANE AND ALMOST OFF ROAD OVER A CLIFF. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD WITH MY TESLA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL, IT SUDDENLY BRAKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHILE THE IMMEDIATE COLLISION ALARM WENT OFF. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF MINE AND NO IMMEDIATE RISK FOR COLLISION. TESLA NEEDS TO IMPROVE THE AUTOPILOT FEATURES AS THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS.

TAKATA RECALL THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT. I AM SENDING IT DUE TO TWO MAIN REASONS: 1 - THIS IS THE SECOND RECALL I'VE RECEIVED FOR THE SAME CAR; 2 - I AM HAVING SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY TESLA SINCE NOVEMBER 2018. AFTER SEVERAL E-MAILS AND VISITING A CENTER IN PERSON, MY ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED AND I AM RARELY GETTING ANY RESPONSES. THE LAST TIME TESLA GOT BACK TO ME WAS IN FEBRUARY. ----- CORE PROBLEM: I AM HAVING RECURRING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE CAR, AND THEY REMAIN AFTER TAKING IT TO A SERVICE CENTER. THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKES FOR THE CAR DID NOT WORK WHEN WE HAD AN ACCIDENT, EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING WENT OFF. I'VE CHECKED AND THE OPTION WAS TURNED ON. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR A CAR/FEATURE THAT DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED, PUTTING MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AT RISK. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I AM RECEIVING ZERO SUPPORT FROM TESLA. THANKS FOR THE HELP, AND PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL CONTEXT.

FAILURE OF VEHICLE TO ENGAGE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING OR APPLY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKING IN REPSONSE TO A VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPING AHEAD. VEHICLE HAD ADAPTIVE CRUISE ENGAGED AT 57 MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND AN ACC SENSITIVITY OF 2. VEHICLE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DID ALERT. THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN A REAR-END COLLISION WITH THE CAR AHEAD.

WHILE IN REVERSE BACKING UP TO A CHARGE STATION IN A COVERED PARKING LOT, THE CAR WENT INTO SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND FAILED TO STOP AND COLLIDED WITH THE CHARGE STATION AND THE WALL NEXT TO IT. NONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS WENT OFF EITHER. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DEMONSTRATED ITS ABILITY TO STOP SHORT OF COLLIDING WITH OBSTACLES, IT FAILED TO REACT IN THIS INSTANCE. TESLA HAS IGNORED OUR REPEATED REQUESTS FOR PROVIDING AN EXPLANATION OR ANY EVALUATION OF THE LOGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR, AND HAS BLAMED THE MATTER ON DRIVER ERROR.

ON2/20/18 I WAS DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY. UPON REACHING THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF RESULTING IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR HITTING THE CONCRETE WALL IN FRONT. I INFORMED TESLA AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED THAT I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. MY ANSWER IS THAT I DID NOT PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT JUST ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. ASIDE FROM ME, I HAVE 4 PASSENGERS THAT CAN ATTEST TO THIS. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS PLACE SINCE 1986 AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY FOR 32 YEARS, IT IS SO ROUTINE FOR ME THAT IT IS ALREADY RITUAL FOR ME AT ALMOST THE SAME SPEED AND WHEN TO PRESSED ON THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO MY OTHER CARS AND AS MY CAR INSURANCE WILL SHOW I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENTS FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NOT BEEN SHOWN ANY EVIDENCE EXCEPT WHAT TESLA TOLD ME. IT IS THEIR WORDS VERSUS MINE AND MY 4 OTHER PASSENGERS WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

THIS SUNDAY MAY 20 I WAS DRIVING MY TESLA MODEL S SOUTHBOUND ON ROUTE 1 IN REHOBOTH TO WORK IN AUTOPILOT MODE. I HAD THIS FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE SET TO 50 MPH. IF YOU AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH AUTOPILOT IN TESLA'S, LET ME EXPLAIN HOW IT WORKS. ONCE THE VEHICLE INDICATES THE FEATURE CAN BE ACTIVATED, YOU PRESS A BUTTON AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER VEHICLE WITH BASIC CRUISE CONTROL, AND THE CAR WILL LITERALLY ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, AND STEER ITSELF WITHOUT FURTHER INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. WHILE USING THIS FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE, I HAD A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT ON ROUTE 1. AS I SAID, MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 50 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE SOUTHBOUND WITH AUTOPILOT ACTIVATED. IN TURNABOUT IN THE MEDIAN, A WHITE PICKUP WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY CAR WITH STICKING OUT ABOUT 1 FT INTO MY LANE. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR SKIMMED THE BACK OF HIS CAR WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN. AUTOPILOT FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE CAR WAS THERE. I AM LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED, AND I AM LUCKY NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT. THIS ACCIDENT HAS SHAKEN ME UP QUITE A BIT. NOW, I DO NOT BLAME TESLA 100% FOR THIS AUTO ACCIDENT; I DON'T PLAN TO FILE A LEGAL CLAIM AGAINST THEM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IN FACT, I PLAN ON REPLACING MY VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER TESLA (WITHOUT THE SAID AUTOPILOT FEATURES) BUT I WOULD BE DOING A DISSERVICE TO ANYONE WITHOUT TRYING TO USE THIS EXPERIENCE OF MINE TO HOPEFULLY SAVE LIVES IN THE FUTURE. I BROUGHT THESE EXACT ISSUES UP WITH TESLA REGARDING MY ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND MY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN TOTALLY DISMISSED. IF REGULATION FOR FEATURES LIKE THESE IN VEHICLES IS NOT IMPLEMENTED, UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND PEOPLE WILL BE HURT AND POSSIBLY KILLED,

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN FRONT OF A RETAIL BUSINESS WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION OR GLITCH IN THE VEHICLES TROUBLED SOFTWARE FOR DRIVER ASSIST AND/OR SAFETY FEATURES. FEATURES WHICH ARE UNIQUE TO TESLA. THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION HAPPENED WITH NO INPUT TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I WAS LIGHTLY BRAKING, INTENT ON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD NEARLY COMPLETED THE PARKING MANEUVER WHEN THE CAR RACED FORWARD, JUMPED A CURB, KNOCKED DOWN A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN, TRAVELED ACROSS A WALKWAY AND SMASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE BUSINESS. THIS HAPPENED SO FAST, I DIDNT REALIZE WHAT OCCURRED UNTIL I COULD GATHER MY THOUGHTS AFTER THE INCIDENT. NO AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNING OF AN IMPENDING COLLISION WERE HEARD OR SEEN. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. FORTUNATELY NO ONE INSIDE THE BUSINESS, NO PEDESTRIAN NOR MYSELF WERE INJURED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAJIC ACCIDENT. MY TESLA SUSTAINED OVER $25,000 IN DAMAGE AND IS STILL IN THE REPAIR SHOP. AS OF THIS DATE, NO CLAIM HAS BEEN SETTLED FOR REPAIRS TO THE BUSINESS PROPERTY. I HAVE UPLOADED A PHOTO SHOWING THE END RESULT OF THE EVENT.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY CAR, WE ARRIVED AT THE PARKING LOT AND AS HE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED, WENT OVER THE CEMENT BUMPER FOR THE SPACE, OVER THE ONE FOR THE SPACE IN FRONT AND HIT A PARKED SATURN IN FRONT OF US. HE IS CERTAIN THAT HE WAS BRAKING AT THE TIME. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO TESLA WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE WENT SUDDENLY FROM 2% TO 97% AND THEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, BUT WHEN I ASKED FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE APPROACH TO THE PARKING SPACE, FOR A COPY OF THE REPORT THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE IT WITHOUT A SUBPOENA.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY TESLA S75 D IN A COSTCO SPACE, THE CAR BOLTED. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN AUTOPILOT MODE WITHOUT ME ENGAGING IT MANUALLY. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. IT HIT THE REAR BUMPER OF THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT. FORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T DO ANY DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE BUT IT CAUSED PLENTY OF DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END. I'LL NEED A NEW BUMPER AND HOOD. IT ALSO DEACTIVATED MY AUTOPILOT AND RADAR WHICH ARE BEHIND THE BUMPER. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR AND FEEL FAIRLY SAFE AS I BELIEVE THE COMPUTER ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED THE AUTOPILOT AND NOW THE AUTOPILOT ISN'T OPERATIONAL. HOWEVER, I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR. I'VE PRESENTED THIS PROBLEM TO TESLA AND THEY SAID IS WAS USER ERROR BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I WAS NOT AT FAULT. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THE WORKS AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER TESLA USERS. MY ADVISE, DON'T BUY A TESLA!!!!!

BEARING IN MIND THE MANY REPORTS OF FAILED TESLA SUSPENSIONS AND PROBLEMS WITH SPEED CONTROL IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MECHANICAL FAILURE PAID A CONTRIBUTING PART. THE ALMOST COMPLETE DISINTEGRATION OF THE CAR IS IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE CLAIMS MADE BY TESLA THAT IT IS THE SAFEST CAR IN THE WORLD. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE FACT THAT THE OCCUPANTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN IMPAIRED BY ALCOHOL PRECLUDE AN INVESTIGATION INTO POSSIBLE DEFECTS IN THE TESLA THAT MAY HAVE PLAYED A PART IN THIS CRASH.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON MY WAY TO WORK AROUND 8AM ON A VERY CROWDED CITY STREET. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I SLOWLY PRESSED ON THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE CAR TOOK OFF AT TOP SPEED. I HIT THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND - IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP, NOR DID ANY ALARM, EITHER VISUAL OR AUDITORY, GO OFF INSIDE THE CAR. TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING DOZENS OF CARS IN MY PATH. I GRAZED PAST A LAMP POST, ANOTHER CAR AND FINALLY CRASHED INTO A TREE.
