NHTSA Complaint #11614689 — 2019 TESLA MODEL 3

Tesla Model 3 with FSD (Full Self Driving) package. Engaged FSD to drive home today but vehicle failed to recognize ALL traffic control signals (stop signs, red & green stoplights. The first time this occurred, I had to brake emergently to avoid collision with cross traffic that had a ‘green’ light. Subsequently reactivated FSD to check the issue and vehicle attempted to run several more red lights and stop signs.It did, however recognize and stop for stopped traffic ahead and performed fairly well with autosteer. This is the first time we have had this potentially-fatal issue. We have, for several months had an issue where some or all of the Tesla cameras fail intermittently. This usually happens at the beginning of a drive and the vehicle alerts us ‘Automatic braking temporarily unavailable.’ Sometimes it recovers on a subsequent drive the same day and rarely recovers on same drive. When cameras are out, ALL the ADAS features are inoperative as they require camera input. Also, the standard feature of ‘speed control’ does not function because Tesla has only adaptive cruise control. Today’s drive was the first time cameras seemed functional on drive home & vehicle allowed me to engage FSD when there was apparently a major safety issue.
