Consumer Description

I have my car serviced 4(four) times, most recently on May 26, 2023 at Tesla Sterling, VA Service Center. While traveling with family on May 27, 2023, we had three false warning incidents, each caused serious confusion and distress: 1. On May 27, at 12:47pm on Alder Woods Dr. at Fairfax VA - my car issued a false warning for a legally parked car on the street. 2. On May 27, at 6:51pm on I-495South - my car issued another false alarm for a slow downed traffic, for the car travelling in front of me - going well below the speed limit, with a lot of space between two cars. 3. On May 27, at 6:53pm on I-495South - my car issued a third false alarm for the same slow downed traffic, and for the same car as I described above - going well below speed limit, with a lot of space between two cars. Tesla's Forward Collision System warnings can't be turned off, the false alarms as I described above cause a lot of confusion. I need to look at the screen to study what was going on, the false warnings system distracts me, which may cause other serious injuries or problems. Also, the forward collision system is connected to Tesla insurance, I am paying 2 times more than what I started to pay, due to false warnings, when I purchased the car 6 months ago, for no good reason.
