Consumer Description

This has only happened in our 2023 model Y. We also own a 2016 & 2017 Model X and we never had the car applied the brakes while in auto pilot and nothing is in front of the car for at least a mile. We are worry about being rear ended because of the sudden braking to a almost stop. We have reported to tesla numerous times and nothing has corrected it so we try to not use that feature when we see cars coming up behind us. We only us it on road trips in open spaces with little traffic. I believe the reason for this problem is the removal 9f the sensors fe9m the front bumper. As I have stated we never had this problem with our other two cars and they have sensors. This Model Y only relies on the camera which might see glare as some in front of it since it can't see. Tesla knows this is a problem, so they are looking at installing a radar system in the bumper but aren't looking at retro fitting the Models they decided to not install sensors in the bumper. All the other early Models with sensors don't have this problem to my knowledge. This a safety issue that needs to be corrected before people start dying from rear end collision that could have been prevented.
