Consumer Description

When using Tesla's Cruise-Control, Traffic Aware Cruise Control or Enhanced Auto-Pilot the vehicle severely brakes without any reason. This happens every time the vehicle is taken on the highway. It is sometimes reproducible because it happens every single time at specific geographic locations. Most often it is not reproducible. On the highways it has put me in danger more than once. The vehicle would brake while going at 75mph and slow down rapidly all the way down to 45mph. Other vehicles following at safe distances have to veer away quickly or slam on their brakes to avoid an accident. Everyone inside the car experience a whiplash from their seat belts. I opened a service ticket with Tesla. I was told that they ran a remote diagnostics and found no hardware issue in the car. The ticket was closed by Tesla after they pointed out that Enhanced Auto Pilot is a Beta version. I gave them very specific examples of how to reproduce this issue. No on came to drive the car before closing the ticket.
