Consumer Description
Three times while driving at low speed and attempting to reduce speed—even while pressing the brake pedal—my 2023 Tesla Model 3 unexpectedly accelerated. During the first incident, the Dynamics screen did not allow me to change the Deceleration Mode. After rebooting the touchscreen, the options reappeared briefly, but later that same day they became unavailable again. Incident Times: 2nd incident: September 3, 2025, at approximately 4:15 PM EST 3rd incident: September 4, 2025, at approximately 4:50 PM EST
