Consumer Description
I was stopped at an intersection in the left turn lane heading southeast at a busy intersection. Left turn signal was on and within 3 minutes of getting to the intersection the vehicle experiences an uncommanded full power acceleration into a very busy intersection. To avoid oncoming traffic, I veered to the right while breaking which did not stop the vehicle. Avoiding a traffic pole and continuing into a business empty parking lot which usually is not empty due to loitering in the area, and avoiding the building the vehicle continued accelerating at a high rate of speed and was stopped only because it hit a metal pole which was hidden by a large bush on the side of the business. If the pole would have not stopped the vehicle it would have continued into oncoming traffic in the north bound lane. Air bags were deployed. The only visible injury I received was burns from the airbag on my right arm and sever busing on my abdomen which has taken 4 months to resolve. The police were on the scene immediately, my insurance company representatives have seen the videos produce by myself and Tesla sent to me via email. The insurance had put a hold on the vehicle which was towed to Carparts. Tesla has never contacted me or my insurance company that I know of besides my request by email for the additional data. I have driven a Tesla model S for 7 yrs prior to purchasing the Model X. The Model X had an incident once that it stopped on its own while I was driving on an interstate. I veered to the right to get off the highway and thankful no one was behind me. There wasn't any indication that anything was wrong and may have been something corrected by an automatic update which dealt with exiting right off a highway which I was not doing but this incident never happened again.
