NHTSA Complaint #11366272 — 2020 TESLA MODEL S

ON SUNDAY OCT 11 AT 4:15 PM, AFTER A 1 HOUR RIDE, I HAD A 3RD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INCIDENT PARKING MY TESLA IN MY GARAGE. I DROVE MY TESLA 4 TIMES SINCE HAVING OUR LAST 2 UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INCIDENTS ON AUGUST 18. I HAD LEFT MY SEATBELT CONNECTED FOR OUR LAST 4 RIDES AND HAD NO PROBLEMS PARKING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE EVEN WHEN HOT. THIS TIME I DISCONNECTED MY SEATBELT BEFORE PARKING ON THE TWO PARKING MATS IN THE GARAGE. MY WIFE GAVE ME THE 'FULL SIGN' WHEN BOTH TIRES WERE AGAINST THE 3" MAT RISERS WHICH MEANT MY FRONT BUMPER WAS 19" FROM THE WORKBENCH. THIS TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKE BEFORE PRESSING THE PARK BUTTON, BUT AGAIN THE INSTANT I PRESSED THE PARK BUTTON THE CAR VAULTED FORWARD OVER BOTH 3' MAT RISERS AND STOPPED ONLY 1 INCH FROM THE WORKBENCH. I COULD FEEL THE SPIKED OF POWER TO ACCELERATOR WHEN I PRESSED THE PARK. BUTTON. I WAS TRULY RELIEVED THAT I DID HIT THE WORKBENCH. I BACKED UP THE CAR AND JUST SAT IN IT FOR 15 MINUTES AND LET THE COOLING FANS RUN TO COOL THE MOTORS DOWN. MY WIFE TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CAR IN RELATION TO THE WORKBENCH. THE RIGHT PARKING MAT HAD BEEN WEDGED UNDER THE FRONT WHEEL. THE LEFT PARKING MAT MAT HAD BEEN TOSSED BACK 4 FEET. I KNOW USING THE SECOND PARKING MAT FROM MY GTR, WHICH I RECENTLY SOLD, HELPED CONSUME SOME OF THE FORWARD ENERGY AND PREVENTED THE CAR FROM HITTING THE WORKBENCH. I FEEL THAT DISCONNECTING THE SEATBELT CONTRIBUTES THE TRANS SENSOR DELAY. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE MATS AFTER IT COOLED DOWN. THERE WAS NO DRIVER ERROR INVOLVED. I CONTACTED SARASOTA TESLA SERVICE THE NEXT DAY. I SENT THEM A LETTER AND PHOTOS WHICH WERE FORWARDED TO TESLA ENGINEERS WHO AGAIN DOWNLOADED MY EDR INFO. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD FROM TESLA ABOUT MY FIRST INCIDENT. MY TESLA HAS INEXPENSIVE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS IN IT THAT MAKE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED IF EVER BY TESLA.
