Representative owner complaints: forward collision avoidance
532 reports, newest first. Show all
Forward collision avoidance, Mar 6, 2023
Since taking ownership of vehicle in summer 2022, have experienced multiple incidents of vehicle emergency braking for no apparent reason while using cruise control. In a few instances when I have attempted to use cruise control again after initial phantom braking incident, there is a 2nd incident of emergency like braking for no apparent reason in the same trip. Have never attempted to reuse cruise control within same trip after experiencing issue twice in that one trip. When phantom braking occurs: - It is while using cruise control (with or without steering assist). - There is no audible or visual warning (not even from auto emergency braking system) before or during vehicle braking. - Is a very strong braking force akin to an emergency maneuver. - There is no clear reason for why vehicle braked - no obstacles in road or slowing traffic. - Level of traffic (light or moderate) does not seem to be a factor, but I don't use system in moderate to heavy traffic. - Weather does not appear to be a factor - it can occur in perfect driving conditions (sunny, clear day). In most recent incident, was traveling at 78mph on highway with no traffic in front or behind vehicle for approx. a half mile in either direction. Without warning or reason, vehicle began to brake hard, slowing vehicle down to 62mph before I could disengage system (approx 1-2seconds). Unclear how low vehicle would brake to if cruise control wasn't disengaged. Cruise control feature feels extremely risky to the point that view as unusable in almost all driving situations (even if would be a good time to use cruise control).

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated while her husband was driving 80 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle jerked forward and decelerated to 52 MPH. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The driver deactivated the cruise control and continued driving to his destination. The contact stated she also experienced the failure on February 27, 2023. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

Forward collision avoidance, Feb 18, 2023
While in the cruise control mode my car will periodically come to an abrupt slowdown. Often when I’m on the freeway and I am very concerned that one day I will be rear ended by the cars totally unexpected slow down. It has happened at least 30 times in my Tesla model 3
Forward collision avoidance, Feb 16, 2023
The car suddenly braked for no good reason nearly caused an accident.
Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, Feb 16, 2023
The "traffic aware" cruise control automatically slows the car when entering a portion of highway with a reduced speed limit. Sounds good in theory and Tesla says this is intentional and cannot be modified in settings. However, suddenly slowing down from 65 mph to 45 mph when all traffic PERSISTS at 65 mph could lead to rear end collisions or loss of control.

Constant Phantom Breaking at interstate speeds. Tesla insists this is not a problem.
Forward collision avoidance, Feb 10, 2023
On my morning commute to work, while using ADAS equipment, vehicle swerved harshly to the right from the right lane in an attempt to take an exit off the highway even though I had not signaled an intention to take the exit. Then, while on a straight, clearly marked highway, vehicle “phantom braked” harshly 3x even though there were no obstructions or cause for hard braking. There were no other vehicles in front of me or debris/items in the road. This sudden braking has become more common and could pose a safety risk to other drivers or cause an accident if my vehicle were to stop unexpectedly. Windshield was also clear and there was no fog/rain/or other conditions that could impede ADAS camera operation.

Cruise control thinks it detects a pending collision and abruptly brakes. Following cars almost rear ended us. This happens every time at exactly the same bridge overpasses on the NJ Garden State Parkway south.

Phantom braking while using Autopilot caused quick and static loss of speed on the interstate, which could easily have resulted in an accident.
Forward collision avoidance, Jan 31, 2023
Drove a 2,000 mile road trip on exclusively divided highways, I-25, I-40, and US 287. Sixteen times (average once per 125 miles) the car braked hard when the adaptive cruise control was on, twice dropping from 75 mph to 45 mph. Any of these incidents could have caused an accident if someone was following closely and was not paying close attention. My notes suggested that the vision-based system braked for a billboard well off to the side of the road on a curve, reflective road mirages twice, a bride once, and for no reason I could identify the remaining times. Tesla asserts that the adaptive cruise control is "Beta." It's not clear to me that they intend to correct this terrible behavior. Sadly, the car deleted its video files of the incidents and I was not able to recover them.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 31, 2023
I was on I-15 in Utah on 1/29/2023 appoximately 2:00. I was attempting to pass in the left lane so the cars behind were following quite closely. I entered into some Snow Flurries and the car hit the brakes. I barely avoided a 3 car pile up because of this behavior. It appears that this feature for Emergency Braking encountered a false Positive which my family and I barely survived.
Visibility/wiper, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 23, 2023
This vehicle along with many tesla vehicles has issues where it will randomly brake when in Autopilot mode going from sometimes high speeds such as 75mph trying to force the car down to as little as 35mph in a very fast manner, causing an increasing concern for vehicle collisions. As well as the automatic wipers not functioning properly and operating too fast when there is no precipitation as well as too slow when there is precipitation causing a potential visibility issue.
Forward collision avoidance, Jan 22, 2023
I was driving eastbound on I-8 from San Diego, AZ towards Yuma, AZ and making use of my Tesla Model 3's adaptive cruise control feature when my vehicle suddenly and without warning slammed on its breaks. No warning or error messages were displayed on my screen – it's as if the vehicle thought I was on a collision course even though I was not. I was in the left-most lane and the vehicle behind me was dangerously close to colliding with me, but I was luckily able to step on the accelerator pedal and regain enough speed to avoid an accident. Though there was no accident, this incident has severely under-minded my trust in the feature.

My car will randomly slam on the brakes when I’m driving on adaptive cruise control even when there is not a car/truck/anything in front of me. Seems consistent in description to what others have termed “Phantom Braking”
Back over prevention, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 31, 2022
Ghost forward collision warnings appear from time to time even tho there is no one in front of the vehicle. Sometimes when the vehicle in front of me is turning left/right the collision warning will alarm me of possible impact even tho there was no real threat for anything to happen. Also, it happens when you want to park behind a parked vehicle (it happened to me today) and alerted me of a possible crash, while i was crawling to park. I wouldn't mind these ghost warnings, but since I am using Tesla Insurance which gives monthly insurance premiums based on the safety performance of the driver (FCW is one of those and the most important one) this is always impacting me financially at the end of the month. Tesla should be forbidden to use a technology that is not perfect in order to determine the price of the insurance.

Phantom braking repeatedly occurring while using normal adaptive cruise control (Autopilot). This has even occurred with no near traffic and no shadows or other irregularities in the road ahead.
Forward collision avoidance, Dec 28, 2022
On a recent trip (December 22, 2022) from Twin Falls, Idaho to Boise, Idaho, my Tesla model 3 braked without warning or any other reason while driving on the Interstate. The Tesla was in adaptive cruise control at the time and appeared to brake for no apparent reason. The braking was significant enough that it would have caused someone traveling behind me to collide into my rear-end without siginficant avoidance (and attention). This occurred three seperate times until I deactivated the cruise control. I felt it was not safe to operate with moderate to heavy traffic. I love my Tesla and feel it is one of the best vehilces I have owned; however, phantom braking is a significant problem. It needs to be corrected by reintroducing radar or some other technology. I have never experienced this with my other vehilce (Toyota Tacoma).
Forward collision avoidance, Dec 26, 2022
We have regular phantom braking issues. This has been happening since we got the car new. I have videos. We have nearly been rear ended twice and this has happened before n almost a daily basis. The problem has been reported to Tesla and of course they say “nothing is wrong with the hardware” and won’t fix anything. This is a well known issue. It’s gotten worse. Slamming on the brakes for what appears to be a shadow or perhaps a tar strip and sometimes nothing but concrete pavement. It’s really scary and dangerous.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 23, 2022
Driving across Texas, cruise control with traffic assist was enabled in the 2022 Tesla model 3 long range sedan. The vehicle suddenly braked and went from 84 mph to 68 mph in a matter of seconds. There were no cars in sight, no weather conditions or obstacles around the highway. Unsure of what or why that happened the first time, cruise control was re-enabled and the same thing happened very shortly after re-engaging cruise control.
Forward collision avoidance, Dec 21, 2022
To Whom It May Concern: Been meaning to submit this complaint for a while but have not had the time until now. My issue regards ‘phantom breaking’ related to Tesla’s TACC (Traffic Aware Cruise Control). Whenever I take long road trips on the highway and attempt to use TACC, the car will invariably hard brake on its own without reason or warning, even when there are no cars, animals, or other objects nearby in either direction. When this occurs, it is incredibly scary. If there had been cars close behind me, I have no doubt they would have rear ended me. It also causes panic to my family and baby, as the breaking is sudden and hard. As a result, I do not use the system when driving which means a tired foot for long trips. I know this is an ongoing issue, and the NHTSA is aware of it. I’d like to ask that the government REQUIRE Tesla and (and perhaps other car companies with similar challenges) to offer standard ‘old fashioned’ cruise control as an option for those customers that want it. Because Tesla’s TACC doesn’t work, I personally would just prefer to be able to set the speed on highways and then be responsible for slowing down and taking it off when I deem it to be appropriate. Being forced to rely on a Tesla’s faulty system is paternalistic and removes an important choice from drivers. Ultimately it is not safe. Please help change this.
