2015 TESLA MODEL S Service Brakes Problems

Parking brake has locked on and cannot be released

The contact owns a 2015 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that while he, his wife, and his son were in the vehicle he had begun veering right pulling into the driveway, at approximately 5 MPH, he had begun slightly releasing the brakes when the vehicle suddenly accelerated at accelerated high speeds. The contact immediately depressed the brake pedal however the vehicle speed continued to accelerate. As a response, the contact attempted to maneuver the vehicle to avoid crashing into the garage. The contact crashed into a nearby tree, jumped the curb, and became airborne crashing into the side of the home. The driver's side of the vehicle crashed into the side of the home where the laundry room was located ricocheting hitting the kitchen and bedroom windows and eventually coming to a stop. Due to the home being on a slope, the vehicle ended up falling into a nearby...

April 21, 2023 me and my daughter was driving from Jacksonville Beach to Fernandina Beach around 6pm. Exiting from 295 to i95, I removed my autopilot to reduce speed, I was very focus driving, not on my cellphone and even sleepy. Then I saw the car in front of me suddenly stopped, i know i have enough distance and confidently press the break hard enough to make it stop. But the tesla, while started beeping loud as it sensored the sudden stop of the car , seems to just slowed down and not stopping even with the full hard press of the break, the Tesla just keep on moving slow until it just hit the car and we just heard a loud bang from the airbags that blew up, gas fumes all over inside the car, shocked with what happened, I immediately opened the car door due to the gas...

My 2015 Tesla Model S was driving with autopilot on 3-17-2023 at 5:45 pm PST near the intersection of Lafayette St and Memorex Dr. in San Jose California when I noticed it panicked and slammed on the brakes while traffic was flowing at about 40 mph. The day was clear no rain, fog, or obstructions. There was a Jeep approaching faster from my rear left in the next lane but it wasn't in front of me. No other cars were in front of me either. There was traffic directly behind me and the car suddenly braked nearly causing an accident from the rear. The car showed an icon of a person in red (An indication of what it was braking for). However, there was no person in the area. I immediately hit the acceleration pedal to avoid the accident from the rear and to keep the car moving. The car...

When driving with autopilot engaged, the vehicle sometimes gives alerts even when there is no vehicle or obstacle in its path. Immediately once the driver takes control, the autopilot does not disengage but continue as usual. The autopilot suddenly brakes or slows down even when there is no obstacle on a freeway.

When using auto pilot on the freeway my vehicle sometimes comes to a halting stop for no reason putting myself and passengers in great danger.

On two or three occasions now my Model S will slow down for no apparent reason while autopilot is engaged. It's happened at speeds between 35 - 45 mph and highway speeds. Problem seems to have started after OTA updates. Car never had this problem before prior to the most recent OTA updates.

Wheel speed sensor kept getting disconnected. When it does, systems like ABS, traction control, and other anti-collisions systems are disabled immediately. This resulted in lost of vehicle control on wet pavement. The service center replaced the sensor twice but the problem continues to pop up randomly. They won’t look at the issue unless I pay for troubleshooting at $150/hr with no limit of how long or if they will find something.

Brake and accelerator pedals are configured such that both are easily pressed together. Other unintended acceleration or loss of brakes complaints here may be the same issue. I was cornering and needed to slow. Pressing the brake pedal did not slow the vehicle. An error that both pedals are pressed was seen in the first occurrence. This time I only heard the chime. I couldn’t look to see the message. No crash, just a scary incident.

AFTER HAVING MY BATTERY COOLANT HEATER REPLACED ON FEBRUARY 22, 2021 I NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STARTING UP SLOWLY. NOTE ERROR MESSAGES WERE NOTED ON MY VEHICLE HOWEVER. ON MARCH 10 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A SMOOTH STRAIGHT FREEWAY THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY CAR FAILED CAUSING PROPULSION TO GO OFF LINE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TO LOCK UP AND BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL UNTIL THE SYSTEM REBOOTED. FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 SECONDS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WASN'T REQUIRED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE NOW SINCE I HAD MISTAKENLY BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS REDUNDANCY IN THE SYSTEMS THAT WOULD PRESERVE BRAKE FUNCTION IN THE MIDST OF A POWER FAILURE. THERE IS NO MANUAL HAND BRAKE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT A SYSTEM FAILURE LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN...

WHILE DRIVING TO PICK UP MY NIECE FROM SCHOOL, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED. I LMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT, IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME DRIVING OFF THE ROAD AND FINALLY COMING TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE SAND. SCARY SCARY SCARY!!!! AFTER IT CAME TO A STOP ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON. TOWED IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE THEY'RE SAYING IT'S THE BRAKE ACTUATOR I'VE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH AND IT JUST HAPPENS LAST YEAR OVER MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION TOYOTA'S WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE HAD COMPUTER ISSUES DURING OCT10-FEB1. LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY, REBOOTS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. NO SPEEDOMETER. NO TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, NO PARKING BRAKE ABILITY, I PARKED VEHICLE FEB1 FOR SAFETY REASONS. ATTEMPTED TO GET SERVICE. VEHICLE BY APRIL[15] HAD GONE FROM INTERMITTENT TO PERMANENT.

THE MAIN SCREEN, MCU, ON MY TESLA MODEL S, 2015 70D BEGAN REBOOTING DURING DRIVING. ON SATURDAY, JULY 4TH, 2020, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. TESLA CUSTOMER SERVICE COACHED ME ON GETTING THE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT THE MAIN SCREEN, HOWEVER IT IS NOT SAFE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, REAR CAMERA DO NOT WORK, VERIFIED BY MY SPOUSE. FURTHER, MOST OF THE OTHER CONTROLS, E.G. DE-FOG, AIR CONDITIONING, ROOF, ETC, DO NOT WORK. THE RE-BOOTING OF THE SCREEN, WHERE IT WOULD BLANK OUT WITHOUT WARNING, AND EVENTUALLY COME BACK LATER, OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION -- VERY DISTRACTING. AT THIS POINT, THE MAIN DISPLAY, OR MCU, IS "BRICKED" -- IT WON'T DISPLAY ANYTHING AT ALL, SO THAT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AEB. HERE IS A CRASH REPORT HTTPS://FORUMS.TESLA.COM/FORUM/FORUMS/MAJOR-AUTO-PILOT-SAFETY-ISSUE#COMMENT-1183233 MAJOR AUTO PILOT SAFETY ISSUE SUBMITTED BY MELISCU ON JUNE 29, 2017 I HAVE (HAD) A 2015 P90 D. IT IS NOW TOTALLED AND I WANTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH AUTO-PILOT. MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE DEATH THAT OCCURRED LAST YEAR WHEN A TESLA DROVE UNDERNEATH A SEMI. IT WAS EXPLAINED AS HAVING TO DO WITH THE ANGLE OF THE CAR ON A HILL, THE LOCATION OF THE SUN . . . THE CAR SEEING UNDER THE TRUCK . . . WELL, I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TWO EXPERIENCES, BOTH CALLED INTO TESLA, WHERE THE SENSORS DID NOT DETECT ENORMOUS TRUCKS THAT WERE STATIONARY, PERPENDICULAR TO THE LANE OF TRAVEL, AND ENTIRELY BLOCKING THE ROAD. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE AUTOPILOT WOULD HAVE DRIVEN ME DIRECTLY INTO A GARBAGE TRUCK. A GARBAGE TRUCK! AUTOPILOT SIMPLY...

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ON THE FORUMS THAT THE NEW UPGRADE VERSION 8.0 HAS MADE THINGS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/WITH-8-0-I-HAVE-TO-TAKE-OVER-FOR-AUTO-PILOT-MORE.78049/PAGE-2 SAMPLE: THE BAD NEWS: 1) THE 'CREST OF THE HILL' PROBLEM SEEMS JUST AS BAD AS V7.1. ALL BETS ARE OFF WHAT AP IS GOING TO DO WHEN YOU CREST A HILL, SO A FIRM GRIP ON THE WHEEL TO MAKE SURE AP DOES NOT DO SOMETHING SILLY IS REQUIRED WHEN CRESTING A HILL. 2) THERE IS A USE CASE WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS. WHEN YOU APPROACH STOPPED TRAFFIC DIRECTLY AHEAD THE RADAR 'SEES' THE STOPPED TRAFFIC, IDENTIFIES THE STOPPED TRAFFIC AS A TARGET, AND BRAKES SENSIBLY. EVERY TIME SO FAR. HOWEVER, WHEN THE ROAD IS CURVED AND THE STOPPED TRAFFIC IS NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR (BUT IS OFF TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT) THEN THE AP DOES NOT...

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT (65) NEEDED TO REMOVE WALLET FROM BACK POCKET. UNBUCKLED SEAT BELT WHY STILL MOVING AT MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT. UPON UNBUCKLING SEAT BELT ENGINE IMMEDIATE SHUT OFF AND VEHICLE CAME TO INVOLUNTARY STOP WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING WAS ALERT AND STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID SERIOUS REAR END ACCIDENT. VERY CONCERNING IF THIS OCCURS AND OWNERS ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DANGER WE EXPERIENCED.

OWNERS SAY YOU WOULD NOT DARE TO BAN ELON'S AUTOPILOT! HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/RED-HANDS-OF-SHAME.77954/PAGE-2 S4WRXTTCS, GREEN1 SAID: ↑ YOU KEEP CLAIMING THAT THE NHTSA HAS SECRETLY ORDERED TESLA TO DISABLE THINGS ON PEOPLES CARS. EITHER PROVIDE THE STATEMENT FROM THE NHTSA, OR AGREE THAT TESLA IS DOING THIS OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. THE NHTSA TENDS TO WORK WITH MANUFACTURES THEY GIVE THE MANUFACTURE A CHANCE TO COMPLY WITH WHAT THEY "RECOMMEND" WITHOUT OFFICIALLY ORDERING THEM TO DO ANYTHING. US CORPORATIONS HATE REGULATION, AND TEND TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO AVOID IT. IN THE US YOU CAN'T EVEN WATCH A VIAGRA COMMERCIAL WITHOUT PART OF THE AD BEING DEDICATED TO SAYING THAT IT WON'T PREVENT STD'S. LIKE HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD I EVEN GET IT IN MY MIND THAT IT WOULD?

I DROVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE SCHOOL (DESERT CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY) IN TUCSON ARIZONA ON SEPT 16TH ABOUT 11:05 AM, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN (UNINTENDED ACCELERATION) AND CRASHED INTO 2 PARKED VEHICLES AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I SUSTAINED A FRACTURE OF MY RIGHT ARM REQUIRING SURGERY. ALSO MY CAR (THE TESLA MODEL S) WAS DAMAGED AND THE TWO OTHER PARKED CARS.
