NHTSA Complaint #11432514 — 2019 TESLA MODEL 3

Ever since I have owned the car, there have been intermittent bouts with what most Tesla owners refer to as phantom braking while using the Traffic aware cruise control (TACC) or autopilot (AP). In all instances, I'm driving along the I-15 highway in Southern California at or near the speed limit with the flow of traffic, with no visible obstacles to safe driving in my lane or lanes adjacent to me, the car suddenly slams on the brakes out of nowhere and it is absolutely terrifying and unsafe. Today, had someone been tailgating me at 80mph and this occurred, I am certain I would have been rear-ended. The deceleration was so sudden and aggressive that I felt the blood rush to the front of my face and I became dizzy momentarily. I can't remain silent on this any longer as I hoped Tesla would have fixed this through software updates. I no longer have trust in the system. I've reported phantom braking to Tesla numerous times through their in-car bug report feature and there still is no fix. No other automakers are experiencing this with their ADAS systems and yet Tesla is apparently leading us into Full Self Driving. Please look into and investigate this for the safety of all drivers out there today. Thank you.
