Consumer Description

While traveling on I70 from Columbia, Missouri to Grand Junction, Colorado and back, we experienced at least 30 incidents of sudden braking while in adaptive cruise control. Some of the incidents were rapid, causing the car to lose 20 to 30 mph within a second. For the most part these occurrences of sudden braking happened on open highway with no other vehicle within 1/2 mile in front of us. We discussed this issue extensively with Telsa and no resolution was provided by Tesla. In fact, one service agent stated that we should just be happy that we were driving a Tesla and that eventually Tesla may solve the problem.
