Consumer Description
I have owned my Tesla Model 3 with FSD for 9 months and have over 10000 miles of driving in the city and highway. Ghost braking has occurred on many occasions and is worse on two lane highways with commercial trucks approaching in the opposite oncoming lane. The vehicle inappropriately and suddenly decelerates from 65 mph to 40 mph. I have had to stop using FSD and adaptive cruise control because of this erratic issue. Recent trip using cruise control (not FSD) on a 4 lane divided highway (I-70 eastbound) there was no surrounding vehicles, no blind hills, obstacles or inclement weather and the vehicle went from 80 mph to 56 mph within a few seconds, requiring me to disengage the cruise control and accelerate to avoid being rear ended. The cruise control and FSD are dangerous and life threatening due to this erratic problem, please start an investigation and recall to remedy these issues before drivers and passengers are injured or killed.
