2018 TESLA MODEL 3 Unknown Or Other Problems

The rear view camera fails intermittently due to this recall. I was scheduled to replace the harness causing the problem, but appointment was cancelled. No new appointment is available or scheduled by Tesla. Having this issue for the last few months is a safety hazard when backing up the vehicle.

"PHANTOM BRAKING" when cruise control is on, usually when on the freeway. Sometimes it occurs next to other vehicles, sometimes there are no cars around. On a 600 mile trip it will often occur at least once and most of the time 2-3 times. If it was slippery, the sudden braking could cause loss of traction. If someone was too close behind me they could rear-end me. No one has inspected the issue. Has been occurring since I've owned the car. No warnings.

I read in the news that you are investigating phantom braking in cars without radar. I want to make sure you are aware that this is also affecting cars with radar. Each software update makes it worse as they seem to use the radar less and less.

The car has been suddenly slowing from 70miles/hr to 50 miles/hr on the highway when on autopilot. I’ve been noticing this for about 6 months

Tesla -- Front Driver Door Damage January 9, 2022. I recently had an accident with my 2018 Tesla Model 3 attempting to back out of my garage. On January 9, 2022, I put the car in reverse and started to back up the car when I noticed a potential obstruction. Alarmed, I jumped out of the car to move the obstruction behind the car, but in my haste I did not place the car in park. The car continued in reverse without me in the car. I quickly jumped back into the car to apply the brake and place the car in park. I was too late: the open car door hit the center post in the garage destroying the driver’s door. It all took place within one or two or, at the most, three seconds. The damage included a crumbled aluminum body panel, damaged hinges and damaged support beam....

my Tesla heater and windshield defroster's are not able to keep the windshield free of ice when it is below 32°. Heat does not come on strong enough until about 15 to 20 minutes after driving. this provides a dangerous situation with visibility

Tesla introduced blind spot camera availability with the release of Version 11 software. When the driver switches lanes while in autopilot by engaging the turn signal stock at night, the built in turn signal led above the repeater camera blinds the camera by washing out and degrading the camera picture as the turn signal led turns on and off. This has been remedied in newer model year cars as shown in the following youtube video-- https://youtu.be/_BUPsjguqdY This is a safety hazard to vehicle occupants as well as the driver of the vehicle as the repeater camera is being blinded by the turn signal led.

Tesla recently updated the vehicle to software 2021.44.25.2 This update mad major changes to the screen/dashboard making simple operations needed while driving much more complex and DANGEROUS to do while the vehicle is in motion. These include things we normally do every day. Requiring several screen touches and prolonged concentration on the screen instead of the road is a dangerous distraction, and will result in accidents. I requested that they revert tot he previous software version, and they refused to do so. THis is not an acceptable answer. LOTS of Tesla owners are upset about this badly designed update. They either need to IMMEDIATELY roll it back to the previous version, or produce a new update that fixes all the issues this has caused.

The side repeater cameras become very hazy with a pink shade at nights and the camera view when the turn signal is turned on displays this. This is quite dangerous if we rely on camera view for blink spot checks at nights.

Tesla has upgraded the visual interface of the Model 3 to version 11 of their software. My vehicle is now running version 2021.44.30.7. The new interface hides critical functions of the vehicle required for safe operation of the vehicle, such as windscreen wipers, front and rear window defoggers behind the multiple menus of the user interface meaning unfamiliar drivers are unable to safely operate the vehicle. Previously these items were on the bottom status bar of the display. Telsa have placed entertainment options as the priority for the display versus safety options. Charging rates and associated energy safety options are similary hidden behind multiple menus or require the charge port to be opened to access functionality. The user interface of the vehicle is now more like a smartphone with attention to entertainment versus attention to safety. Critical controls need to be permanently on display on the top or bottom of...

The Dec 2021 software update changed the touchscreen drastically making it dangerous to use while driving. More time must be spent taking one's eyes off the road to find the icons, and more icons must be touched to control the component (e.g., turning on the defogger). I worry there will be an accident. Tesla customer service has been unresponsive. The chatbot told me to watch videos (which I did and which were unhelpful). No person has responded to my complaints and queries about how to revert the touchscreen to the previous version.

The latest update of the software (V11) has moved functions that were previously accessible on the main screen to a sub-screen requiring 3 touches compared to 1 before. These functions include the windshield defogger, rear defroster, and the seat heaters. This requires having to look and interact with the screen much longer than before, impacting safety. Prior software (V10) had buttons on the screen emulating those of other cars. These required 1 touch to.enable/disable the function. It now requires 3 touches: 1 to pull up the sub-panel, 1 to enable/disable, and 1 to dismiss the sub-panel. Also, the prior software allowed you to see the status of these functions on the screen. Now you have to touch the screen to pull up the sub-panel and touch again to dismiss.

Tesla released Software Version 11 in late December which removed several key functions from being persistent on the main screen (“one tap” access) and buried them in sub menus which makes them dangerous to access when driving.

display controls moved behind a sub-menu in v11 software update. very dangerous to the point of distraction to just turn on the defogger! Fonts are way too small. important icons/info now hidden behind two extra taps on touchscreen.

Tesla's newest V11 update for Model 3 removes frequently used features from direct access of the driver. Now many options that were one-tap require navigating into a menu system to control, forcing the driver to take their eyes off the road creating a dangerous situation. This update allows for limited customization to bring quick access to games to the screen, hiding defrost, heated seats, etc. Tesla does not allow users the long term choice to avoid major user interface design upheavals, defeating learned muscle memory in favor of 'newness'. This is not the first update that has made the car more difficult to operate in motion. If a user avoids an update, eventually Tesla forces the update or can refuse to troubleshoot an issue with the car. Unexpectedly Tesla says some connected features may also stop working. Tesla should offer security and connectivity bug fixes but a user defined choice...

Tesla changed the entire user interface with their software update to version 11. I believe that this software update will cause vehicle accidents since they removed quick access to critical features and replaced them with entertainment apps. As the driver of the vehicle I do not need quick access to video games / streaming services, and more importantly I should not have to go through several screens to access key functions like the window defrosters. Tesla removed quick access to the defrosters, the wiper controls, the seat heaters and tire pressure. Even the music player now causes driver distraction. This new update is an accident waiting to happen and is geared toward entertainment instead focusing on a safe driving experience. The windows that pop up on the screen even block critical features like wiper blade control. Tesla claims that since they removed the buttons for wipers and defrosters that I...

The v11 software update buries many important buttons that were always up, to find basic functions needed for driving I now need to spend up to 15 seconds digging through multiple menus to say, turn on a defroster or the wipers.

Recent software update to the vehicle has made the care unsafe to drive. They completely reworked where all car control buttons on the main screen were located. They removed essential car function from the main screen. Specifically, windshield wiper control and defroster control are now buried in submenus. I am having to take my eyes off the road for 2-3 continuous seconds to find commands in these submenus and I can't tell you how unsafe this feels. Car windows/windshield fogs up and I can't find the defroster touchscreen button. Suddenly starts raining and I have to scramble to find windshield wiper touchscreen button. The touchscreen buttons for turning on fog lights and regular car lights are buried. This happened with a version 11 software update within the past few days. Before this - no problems. Please help us.

Latest update from Tesla moved commonly used features several layers deep into hard to manage screen menus. e.g windshield wipers. This now requires drivers to take their eyes of the road for several seconds to activate the functions.

Latest Tesla UI update, V11 (2021.44.25.2) is less user friendly, especially for essential control operations while driving. - Front, Rear Defrosters, and Seat Heaters are now buried in multiple tap menus. Windshield wiper adjustment option buried in multiple tap menus or unreliable swipe motion to reveal options. Areas where these buttons used to be are now "blank" spaces that were done for "aesthetics" more than "practical utility". - Menu options and notifications are narrower and too low for quick visbility (e.g. Car alerts, Windshield wiper adjustment). - Speedometer number is too thin and small. - Autopilot notification icon is much smaller, so it is less obvious to the user if the system is active or when it can be activated. - "One tap dashcam recording" now missing on Map screen. "Honking to save clip" may cause confusion to other drivers if wanting to save footage, so that is not a...

Safety Issue - A matter of life or death Many times since I’ve owned the Model 3 in late 2018, I have repeatedly contacted the service representatives about the A/C vent blasting out hot air over 90 degrees. I was told a software update will fix the issue. However, many software updates have taken place, it is not fixed. This now looks like a physical issue with the design flaw. This needs to be fixed. It can mean life or death for my family and my dog sitting in the back seats. This issue can be reproduced when I drive the Tesla over a long distance over an hour. Please see other people has already document this issue on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JudtkliZNjo

car caught on fire drove aobut 10 min in the morning average speed was about 10-20mph start smog and car doesn't work anything i got out of the car when smog getting bigger and started burn

The AC system seems to build up moisture in the evaporator or filter every year, and an unbearable smell eventually occurs every time the AC turns on (usually in the warm summer months). While tesla does say they recommend AC system maintenance (cleaning and filter replacement) every two years, the smell should not be the trigger or a symptom. I actually had my car serviced last year for this and paid $180, and the smell is already coming back almost exactly one year later. They are saying this is not a defect, it is something that i will have to pay for each time it occurs.

https://youtu.be/Q74d_rK5aKk Please find the above YouTube link that has the front camera video at the time crash. Issues: ======= 1.) Tesla auto emergency brake didn't alert or stop. 2.) Obstacle awareness didn't alert or stop the vehicle 3.) Lane keeping assistant didn't alert/warn. All autopilot basic safety settings were enabled.

Computer Box, chip or BRAIN OF THE CAR THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING. We bought the car in palm spring Tesla Brand New & paid in full amt.. After 5 MONTHS, GLITCH & BLACK SCREEN IS ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS. I brought my car to Tesla & told then personally the GLITCH & BLACK SCREEN problem & they said they will RECORD IT IN THEIR SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 2YRS OWNING THE CAR. Every time I brought my car to Tesla I always tell TESLA TO CHECK THE BLACK SCREEN & GLITCHING that always happen. All they said IT'S A MINOR PROBLEM JUST REBOOT IT. Sometimes the car SHUTOFF AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT A WARNING & COME BACK AFTER 10 MINS. TWICE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY 10 IN CA THE CAR SHUTOFF & ALL WENT GONE, NO HAZARD LIGHT, NO LEFT & RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT, NO BREAK LIGHT,...

Car was parked in driveway and spontaneously caught fire at 4am; I suspect that ti was the 12v battery that leaked and corroded and caused a fire after looking at the security footage which showed that the fire originated in the frunk; Tesla say they are unable to find a cause of the fire, It has been 5 months since the incident.

After approximately 6 months after taking delivery of Model 3, a dank smell, like dirty socks emanates from A/C vents after car has been sitting in hot weather. This is a known problem with water remaining on a/c evaporator coils, thus creating a perfect environment for mold. Tesla refuses to cover this defect as part of their warranty even though they acknowledge the design flaw. Meanwhile, its customer are subjected to foul smelling mold each time the drive the vehicle in the warm weather.

FRONT SEATS HAVE A MANUAL DOOR RELEASE IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES. REAR OCCUPANTS DO NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE. I DO NOT WANT MY CHILDREN TO DIE IN A FIREBALL DEATH INSIDE THE CAR. PLEASE ASK TESLA TO RETROFIT THE FIX THEY PROVIDED TO OTHER MODEL 3 CARS. PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO ON THE TESLA FIX: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/M6REH0CSYZK (JUMP AHEAD TO THE 2 MIN MARK). MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS ON EITHER SIDE FOR THE REAR OCCUPANTS. PLEASE SEE ATTACKED PICTURE.

SO FAR I KNOW ALL 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH PEDESTRIANS WARNING SYSTEM.

I DISCOVERED A FLAW IN THE MODEL 3 HORN MECHANISM THAT YOU PRESS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE SEEN THE MECHANISM AND WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HORN BUTTON, YOU CAN HEAR THE MECHANISM CLICK, BUT IT'S NOT ACTIVATING THE HORN, YOU NEED TO APPLY ALOT OF PRESSURE ON THE SIDES FOR THE HORN TO ACTIVATE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE MECHANISM REPLACED ONCE WITH TESLA AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT OTHER MODEL 3 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND TESLA NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A BETTER HORN MECHANISM LIKE IN THE MODEL S OR MODEL X WHERE SERVICE CENTERS CAN ADJUST SENSITIVITY OF THE MECHANISM. NORMALLY IN OTHER CARS YOU CAN USE YOUR THUMB TO PRESS THE HORN ON THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF THE HORN MECHANISM, BUT IT'S TAKES ALOT OF PRESSURE EVEN IN...

MULTIPLE TIMES, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWED THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVATE DESPITE THE PASSENGER SEAT BEING OCCUPIED BY A 112 POUND PERSON WITH A BUCKLED SEAT BELT. THERE IS NO ACTIVE NOTIFICATION THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED IN THE PRESENCE OF INDICATIONS OF OCCUPANCY OF THAT SEAT. THIS COULD LEAD AN INATTENTIVE DRIVER OR PASSENGER TO BELIEVE EVERYONE IS SAFE WHEN, IN FACT, THE PASSENGER IS NOT SAFE.

THE REAR CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. AT FIRST IT WAS INTERMITTENT, NOW IT IS PERMANENT. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF MANY INSTANCES WITH PHOTOS. I COULD UPLOAD ONLY ONE.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE SCREEN IS BLACK AS THE REARVIEW CAMERA DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR INTERMITTENTLY FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNER THIS CAR, SINCE JULY 2018. TESLA HAS NOT REPAIRED THIS ISSUE. THE REARVIEW CAMERA IS UNRELIABLE AT BEST. I CAN SEND MORE IMAGES IF NEEDED TAKEN AFTER MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE SAME ISSUE.

THE LARGE TOUCH SCREEN THAT CONTROLS A MAJORITY OF FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I AM DRIVING AT 65MPH+ AMD ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVE NO VISIBILITY OF WHAT MY ACTUAL SPEED IS AS IT IS DISPLAYED ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. ADDITIONALLY, THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ALSO TURNED OFF WHEN THE SCREEN SHUTS OFF. I AM PUT INTO A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE I CANT USE MY TURN SIGNALS AND CANT VIEW MY SPEED. THIS IS NOT A SOLITARY INCIDENT - THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

1. BACKUP CAMERA OCCASIONALLY GOES BLACK, RENDERING IT USELESS. OCCURS SPORADICALLY. 2. CHARGING PORT MALFUNCTION, WILL NOT OPEN WHEN TRYING TO CHARGE VEHICLE. 3. CENTER SCREEN OCCASIONALLY NON-RESPONSIVE,

THERE IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON TESLA FORUMS REGARDING WATER ACCUMULATING IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS HAD LEAD TO THE REAR BUMPER COMING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON THE STREET. ONLY RECENTLY DID TESLA RELEASE A SURVIVE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT FIX THE CAR UNLESS SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS FIRST. I BELIEVE MY CAR, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS, ARE AFFECTED. MY CAR LEAKS A LOT OF WATER IN THE GARAGE AFTER COMING HOME FROM A RAINY DAY. I HAVE TO LINE MY GARAGE FLOOR WITH TOWELS TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE TO THE WALLS THERE IS SO MUCH WATER. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE BUMPER WILL COME OFF. I BELIEVE TESLA SHOULD FIX THE KNOWN ISSUE NOW BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, NOT AFTER THE FACT. THIS IS UNSAFE.

DRIVING ON RURAL DIRT ROAD. DUST COMING IN FROM REAR SEAT BOTTOM, TRUNK, SEAT BELT HOLES. SO MUCH DUST IT IS UNBEARABLE, CAN'T BREATHE AND HARD TO KEEP EYES OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

MY VEHICLE LIKE MANY OTHER MODEL 3S STARTING MYSTERIOUSLY OPENING THE WINDOW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND UNATTENDED. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST FIVE DAYS. THIS LEAVES THE VEHICLE UNSECURED. THEY PHONE APP ALERTS ME THAT ONE OR MORE WINDOWS ARE NOT FULLY CLOSED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE TESLA BLOG SITE. NO CURE OR ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN SO FAR. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PARKED IN PUBLIC AREAS FOR A DAY OR TWO AND IF THERE WERE FOUL WEATHER OR THIEVES. THEY SHOULD FIX THIS. THE DATE SHOWN BELOW IS FOR THE LAST TIME.

CAR WAS ON DRIVEWAY GOING5MPH. APPLIED BRAKE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOCKED IN POSITION CAR CONTINUED GOING 5MPH.WENT THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. CONTINUED AT 5MPH HIT WALL. PUT HOLE IN WALL CAR STOPPED. WE WEREN'T INJURED. CAR NEVER SLOWED OR SPEEDED UP. REPORTED TO TESLA THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID THE CAR HAS A DATA RECORDER. I ASKED FOR THE DATA. AFTER NUMEROUS REQUESTS 7 WEEKS LATER THEY HAVE FAILED TO CONTACT US

ON 7/18/2020, I PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT AND MY TESLA ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WENT OVER THE CURB, HIT THE WALL OF A BUSINESS, HIT THE DOORS OF A BUSINESS AND A PERSON COMING OUT OF THAT BUSINESS THEN IT HIT POLE AND STOPPED. AMBULANCE TOOK A PERSON HIT TO THE HOSPITAL ( I PRAY FOR HIS WELLBEING), I HAVE POLICE REPORTED AND CAR TOWED AWAY ( TOTALLY RUINED). IT WAS LIKE A NIGHTMARE WHEN CAR SPED UP SUDDENLY AND YOU SEE PERSON THROWN INTO YOUR WINDSHIELD. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT AND LIVES ARE TAKEN. TESLA THIS IS SERIOUS. WE JUST HAVE UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE, LAST WEEK.

MY TESLA MODEL 3 HAS AN ISSUE KNOW AS PHANTOM TOUCH, WHICH, BASED ON THE TESLA FORMS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT IS UNIQUE TO ME, BUT IT OCCURS WITH MANY EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL 3S. ACCORDING TO THE DISCUSSIONS IN TESLA FORUMS, PHANTOM TOUCH IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM THAT IS RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE TOUCH SCREEN. PHANTOM TOUCH HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES, THE FIRST TWO WERE WHEN I FIRST GOT IN THE CAR, AND I JUST REBOOTED THE SYSTEM BEFORE DRIVING. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND IT CREATED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE SCREEN PICKS UP PHANTOM SIGNALS AND STARTS CHANGING THINGS LIKE RADIO VOLUME AND CHANNELS, HVAC SETTINGS ETC. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, IT ALSO TURNS ON AN OFF WIPERS AND HEADLIGHTS. IT WAS A GOOD THING WHEN IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT WAS DAYLIGHT WITH NO RAIN, IF IT WERE...

UNINTENDED SUDDEN SELF ACCELERATION CAR WAS SITTING AT COMPLETE STOP FOR 1-2 MINUTES. NO MUSIC WAS PLAYING, AND I WAS NOT ON PHONE. WHILE THE LIGHT WAS STILL RED, THE CAR SUDDENLY SELF-ACCELERATED, WAS PROPELLED FORWARD FORCEFULLY, WITH EXTREME, INTENSE VELOCITY. THE CAR WAITING IN FRONT OF MINE WAS IMPACTED, AS WELL AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF THIS CAR. BOTH WERE LARGE SUVS, AND BOTH WERE DAMAGED. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT 2 HEAVY SUV'S WERE ABLE TO STOP THE TESLA, WHICH WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL. THE TESLA AIRBAGS WERE ACTIVATED, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS, AN INDICATION HOW POWERFUL THE ACCELERATION MUST HAVE BEEN.

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019 MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE ACCELERATOR SENSORS OR THE ACCELERATOR ITSELF. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AGGRESSIVELY AS MY SISTER WAS PARKING THE CAR. SHE WAS GOING SLOW AS SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND AS SHE DROVE INTO THE STALL, THE VEHICLE SPED UP AGGRESSIVELY AND SHE COULD NOT STOP IT. WE HAVE VIDEOS (COULDN'T UPLOAD) THAT ALSO SHOW THE WHEELS KEEP GOING EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALREADY MADE CONTACT WITH THE PILLAR AND NOBODY IS PRESSING THE PEDAL. ANOTHER CONCERN WE HAVE IS WHY NONE OF THE CRASH AVOIDANCE MECHANISM TOOK OVER, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SETTINGS DIDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE RIGHT INTO THE PILLAR. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE AVAILABLE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT. WE FILED...

VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE PANEL AERO SHIELD FALLS OFF IN HEAVY RAIN

ON JANUARY 10, 2020 APPROXIMATELY 09:30 AM, WHEN IN A PARKING GARAGE I STOPPED THE CAR AND WENT TO PUT IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK INTO A STALL WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD IMPACTING A PILLAR WHEN I LOOKED DOWN THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE ON. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AND IT WAS DEEMED 'AT FAULT' REPAIRS TO BE DETERMINED

ON 01-03-2020 AT APPROX 1 PM PST WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 5 AT 77 MILES PER HOUR, I HAD "AUTOPILOT" ENGAGED. A FEW TIMES THE RADIO CUT OUT AND ALL ICONS APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. REPEATED CHIMING WAS AUDIBLE. I THEN TRIED TO DISENGAGE "AUTOPILOT" BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. "AUTOPILOT" WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I THEN APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN BUT WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE THE CAR SPED BACK UP TO THE PREVIOUS SPEED. "AUTOPILOT" WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. THE SCREEN REBOOTED ITSELF AND DURING THAT TIME I ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE "AUTOPILOT" WHICH WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. WHEN THE SCREEN CAME BACK ON AFTER THIS FIRST REBOOT IT WAS FROZEN AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY INPUT OR TOUCH. "AUTOPILOT" WAS STILL ENGAGED. THE SCREEN THEN REBOOTED A SECOND TIME AND WHEN IT CAME BACK ON IS WHEN I COULD ONLY THEN FULLY DISENGAGE THE...

ON 11/28/19 AT AROUND 5:30-6:00AM, WHILE DRIVING ON THE 5 SOUTH FREEWAY NEAR THE ATLANTIC AVE OFF RAMP, THE CAR SWERVED TO THE RIGHT ON ITS OWN. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR'IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL DID NOT RESPOND TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW IF THE SIDE CAMERA THOUGHT THE SUV WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE BECAUSE THE RAIN DISTORTED ITS VIEW OR WHAT BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS DRIVING ITSELF EVEN THOUGH AUTOPILOT WAS NOT ON. I COULD NOT RIGHT THE CAR AFTER THE INITIAL SWERVE, IT KEPT ON GOING, HEADING TOWARDS THE EXIT BUT ENDED UP GOING OVER AN EMBANKMENT, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A TREE BEFORE TURNING AND SIDESWIPING IT AND COMING TO A STOP. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS HURT. IT WAS STILL DARK AND IT WAS...

IF A TESLA OWNER IS USING THE TESLA APP TO USE THE SMART SUMMON FEATURE, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T NECESSARILY STOP QUICKLY WHEN THEIR FINGER IS REMOVED FROM THEIR TOUCH SCREEN IF THE INTERNET CONNECTION FOR THEIR CELL PHONE AND/OR FOR THEIR TESLA IS POOR. I HAVE VIDEO OF MY INFORMAL TESTING OF THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE DONE IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT WITH SOFTWARE VERSION: 2019.32.11.1 D39E85A ON MY TESLA MODEL 3.

AEB SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION AT LOW SPEEDS RELIABLY. CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 12MPH AND CAR WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY CAR. CAR MADE NO ALERTS OR NO ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM A REAR END COLLISION WHICH ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE SYSTEM WILL OR WONT WORK AND HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IT.

HELLO- I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPOT IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT THEN IMMEDIATELY HAD A FLAT TIRE. I DID NOT HIT THE WRONG PEDAL NOR WAS I ACCELERATING IT. IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS. IT CAME TO A HALT AFTER HITTING ANOTHER CAR. BOTH THE CARS WERE DAMAGED.PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD DIFFICULTY TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE CAR USING THE APP ON THE PHONE BUT THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO AN APP ERROR. NOT SURE IF IT WAS CORRELATED. THIS EVENT HAPPENED ON SEP 24. TESLA ADVISED ME TO TOW THE CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER. SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS BEEN WITH TESLA SERVICE. THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN US ANY UPDATES ABOUT THE DIAGNOSTICS AND KEEP TELLING US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THEY HAVE CLEARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 20...
