NHTSA Complaint #11426266 — 2020 TESLA MODEL Y

The car accelerates on its own, twice in last two weeks. First time was at a intersection, I applied accelerator pedal after the light turned green, with normal pressure. The car sped up unexpectedly and I had to immediately apply brake to slow it down. The second time I put it in reversal and as soon as I applied accelerator it jerked and sped up unexpectedly. Luckily both time the acceleration occurred when car were in slow speed and applying brake stopped acceleration. it also occurred twice before these recent two incidents since we bought the car 10 month ago but they happened far apart in time and we were not sure of its occurance. But the frequency with which the unexpected acceleration happens has become alarming and we become more sure of the certainty. I start to worry about what would happen if this occurs when the car is moving at high speed and whether applying brakes can be effective to correct the acceleration.
