NHTSA Complaint #11453841 — 2021 TESLA MODEL Y

This is the second Tesla I have owned and the previous model did not have this problem at all. This vehicle has phantom emergency braking occurrences during use with the cruise control and also with the auto drive feature. It will randomly brake hard when there is nothing around the vehicle, either in front, back or sides. I have contacted Tesla 3 times, the first two they said nothing was wrong and the 3rd time is scheduled for February 28 here in Houston. The first two times Tesla told me to record the time and place of the occurrence so that they could look at the data that was being input to the vehicle. I did this but it did not work. When the vehicle has an emergency braking occurrence all of the occupants of the vehicle are violently slammed forward until the driver can push down on the accelerator or disable the cruise or auto drive. This has caused us to almost lose control multiple times. As of right now no one can use the cruise or the auto drive feature at all, it is just too scary when the vehicle decides to have a phantom brake event with no problems around the vehicle. THIS HAS OCCURED DOZENS OF TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
