Consumer Description

I am reporting 3 incidences of Phantom braking with adaptive cruise control on, and 2 incidences of phantom vehicle displays on the central console while parking into a garage. 4/17/2022 ~ 1pm. on RT 101 CA between King City and Camp Robert Rest Area/Bradley. Traveling at 75-78 mph on widely separated divided straight highway, with no trees, only low grass, and no cars nearby, we (my wife driving) experienced two sudden jarring braking slowdowns. This is a hazard if there is a car tail-gating us or if the following driver does not expect us to brake for no reason. 4/18/2022 ~ 11am on Rt 10 CA between Palm Desert/Indo and Desert Center, We were traveling at 76 mph on a widely separated divided straight highway, with no trees, and only low grass. A Tesla car in front of us suddenly braked for no apparent reason and shortly thereafter pulled over to the shoulder and stopped. A few minutes later we experienced a sudden braking action in our Tesla car. In May/2022 we observed two separate incidences of a phantom van displayed on the Tesla central console while parking our car into our garage. A phantom van appeared once on the right side and once on the left side when the Tesla car was half-way into the garage. We park in the center of the garage which is relatively empty with 2 plastic tool boxes on the left side and a Traeger grill on the right side. The garage is 19' by 19' with a 16' wide garage door opening.
