NHTSA Complaint #11480206 — 2022 TESLA MODEL Y

Phantom Braking. The most recent instances of phantom braking occurred on a recent trip to Lake Tahoe. The car phantom braked on the way there on the I-5 on August 5th in the afternoon. I don’t have the exact time, the braking surprised us so much that we didn’t think to enter a “bug report”. The I-5 at that section is a 4 lane divided highway. I think the cause of the phantom braking may have been a bridge that had a slight rise, causing the cameras to think there was oncoming traffic. We had the same issue multiple times on the way home on Tuesday, August 9th. In those instances, we entered bug reports. We also had multiple instances of phantom braking when driving on Route 28 around Lake Tahoe on August 7-9. Route 28 is a 2-lane road with alternating light and shadows from the trees. This may have caused the phantom braking, we entered bug reports in those instances
