Consumer Description

I had 3 incidences where my Tesla braked hard while using basic cruise control. There was no car in front of me in all cases. One time there was a car to the side of ne. The incidences happened on October 15, 2023 while driving on I-15 and I-70 through Utah. It happened around 1 pm, in sunny weather. The car braked hard for now apparent reason, and this is very dangerous if a car was behind me. The passengers in the car became scared. I looked for settings to disable the automatic braking when using cruise control, but changing the various settings gs did not help. The random braking did not happen if cruise control was off. I had to stop using cruise control for fear of my safety. There should be a way to turn off auto-braking when using cruise control.
