Consumer Description
The adaptive cruise control (or emergency braking system) repeatedly braked for no reason. There were not other vehicles in the immediate area. I was driving on Interstate 90 at 70 MPH and the vehicle emergency braked down to about 50 MPH before recovering. This is a recurring problem and has happened at least a dozen times since I've owned the vehicle. I no longer trust the feature and hesitate activating it. The danger is risk of a rear end collision if another vehicle is close behind when the problem occurs. I have read that this "phantom braking" issue has been reported 700+ times. The manufacture (Tesla) has not inspected my vehicle. I believe a warning message was displayed but I am not sure. I was too busy reacting to the issue to notice any displayed messages.
