Consumer Description
My 2022 Model Y has severe phantom braking problems when cruise control or auto steer is activated. While driving at highway speeds the car slams on the brakes for no reason. This happened several times in 50 miles. I spoke to many other Tesla owners with the same problem. While driving at 70 mph on the interstate the car will suddenly and instantly apply the brakes hard. This is a severe safety issue. I am so scared that this will cause an accident that I have stopped using the cars adaptive cruise control and auto steer functions. I have contacted Tesla like everyone else, but have not gotten a response or fix. Please add this note to your pile of Tesla owners that are very pissed off that nothing is being done to resolve this safety issue. Thanks, [XXX] - Stoughton Wisconsin USA INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
