Consumer Description

I am experiencing sudden braking, without me using any of the braking system. Scared my wife and I. Our safety was at risk 3 times, when this sudden braking happened. Sent a message to Tesla but did not get an answer yet. The warning lights were activated when the sudden braking happened. my first sudden braking happened on January 17th 2024, and then 2 more the following two days of the same month. Now we are driving the car, but we are deactivating the automatic braking system anytime time we get in the car,
