Consumer Description

I have a 2018 Tesla Model X - When I engage the self-driving mode the car will ghost brake for no apparent reason. There are no cars or pedestrians that I can see to make the car suddenly break hard This is not the 1st time this has happened - I see that you are investigating 2021 - 2022 Tesla model 3 and Y but I am getting the same issues on the 2018 Model X with an upgraded MCU2 computer I would like to bring this to your attention- On my safety score on my Tesla App the only issue i have is hard braking but the car is doing this not me for no apparent reason
