Consumer Description
When operating my vehicle in adaptive cruise control or autopilot, my model Y has continuously had incidents where it randomly slams on the brakes as if it’s attempting to avoid an obstacle. To my frustration, there is nothing in the road and I am slammed back in my seat. What I fear the most is that a vehicle following behind me could potentially rear end me due to this braking issue. I just took a 450 mile road trip, and this incident happened a dozen times along the way. I read online and this appears to be a trend with Tesla and I want to make sure this “phantom braking” issue is reported.
