NHTSA Complaint #11575754 — 2022 TESLA MODEL Y

Tesla is using camera-only detection for Forward Collision Warning system and this leads to numerous false positive alerts. I'm filing a complaint because this did occur today (March 5, 2024), but this has happened countless times in my 2 years of ownership. This particular incident was triggered by cars parked along a curved street, while traveling approximately 20 mph with no other vehicles around. These occur from simply driving next to parked cars or slowly approaching vehicles at a traffic light. When these faulty alerts occur, a loud audible beeping is heard and red alerts are displayed on the screen. These faulty alerts are dangerous distractions, causing panic, fear, and uncertainty in the driver, causing them to take their attention off of the road while they assess what just occurred. This is a critical flaw in the functionality of Tesla vehicles that the company has refused to address.
