Consumer Description

I am writing to formally report a serious malfunction involving my Tesla vehicle. On my 2024 Tesla model y.I experienced an unexpected accelerator malfunction that caused the vehicle to surge forward uncontrollably. The incident occurred at approximately As I attempted to dive in slowly, the accelerator suddenly malfunctioned and my car creeped in slowly and rapidly increased power without my intention. Despite immediate attempts to brake and regain control, the vehicle continued to accelerate and subsequently collided with a gate, resulting in significant front-end damage. I firmly believe this was due to a mechanical or electronic failure in the vehicle’s accelerator or related control systems. The malfunction posed a serious safety hazard and could have resulted in injuries, and this has affected me mentally. I am requesting a full investigation into this malfunction, including an inspection of the vehicle’s electronic logs, sensors, and accelerator system to determine the cause of this unintended acceleration. I would appreciate your prompt response and guidance on the next steps to resolve this matter, including vehicle inspection, repair, and coverage options.
