Description of the problem | We recently purchase tesla model y on 29th september 2020. We notice more than twice while driving model y on freeway at 65mph and the car decided to randomly slam the braked (panthom braking) while in autopilot in middle of the freeway. We were on garden state parkway in nj. We did reported to tesla via voice command but no we been scare driving the tesla on cruise control or auto pilot and worried about rear end accident. Its very dangerous and safer issue. There has been no response from tesla. While researching about panthom breaking in tesla, i found so many tesla car customer having same issues. It's been happening with all the tesla cars since 2016. Seems like there has been no action taken from tesla. We notice auto pilot will brake at same spots on the highway near shadow of light in night. This seems to be at exits and it really dangerous. I also read on the net that phantom braking is happens shadows under bridges phantom, i have no reason to suspect it has been fixed. Please take a look into this issue. Its been out there and it is very scary when driving car on auto pilot or cruise control. |
