Consumer Description

My wife and I were on the highway 44 in the model Y travelling at around 79 miles an hour. There was no other vehicles close to us or in front of us. This was about 1:30 PM and there was no clouds in the sky. The autopilot had been engaged and for no reason, the car started to emergency brake. This was very scary since it was very abrupt and if another vehicle would have been following too close we would have been hit from behind causing damage and or causing death to us both. The vehicle has done this numerous times since we have owned it. It was reported to Tesla and I had a service scheduled to have them look at it. They claimed they looked at the logs and did not see any issues, which I find hard to believe, I asked for the logs and they refused to provide them to me. They claimed I would not understand them, although I explained that I am engineer and I have 25 years of experience with such things. Trust me, I can read a safety log! They claim they will fix with a software update, but when asked for an ECD or ETA they refused to give me that information.
