Consumer Description

My 2022 Tesla Model Y suddenly stopped on the road with a message on the screen saying “Pullover safely Vehicle Shutting Down”, but the car stopped immediately and would not move. Another error came up saying “Rear motor disabled”. The sudden stopping was very dangerous, and it could have been life threatening had it been on a highway. Luckily for us, I was just pulling the car back from our driveway, but more than half of my car was on the road when the car stopped suddenly with the error message. I can’t imagine what could have happened had I been on a highway with or without Auto Pilot. We are all very disturbed by this experience as the car just suddenly stopped. Tesla is not safe on the road with this problem. Battery was at 235miles left and the car is in great condition otherwise having driven only 8K miles. Car had to be towed to the service center, but next Tesla service appointment shows almost a month later.
