It usually happens on one lane state highways with opposite direction traffic, sometimes with turns or hills. The vehicle has slammed on the brakes without warning, sometimes the warning tone also sounds. Each time there was absolutely no danger, nothing abnormal.   On a couple occasions there was traffic behind me, and it must have scared them. They probably thought it was a hard brake check. If I wasn’t able to quickly over ride the braking with the accelerator it very easily could have caused an accident. On two occasions my pregnant wife was in the car and it scared her very much. I am personally afraid to use it now, knowing it’s going to slam on the brakes is nerve wracking and UNSAFE.   Tesla does not seem to care about addressing the issue, rather putting all eggs in the “full self driving” basket instead of improving this very obvious safety defect. From reading online forums it seems to affect just about everyone.  I’m hoping their engineers address it and they release a software update correcting it, but as mentioned above it doesn’t seem to be on their list of priorities; the problem has been happening for several years now and has resulted in at least one known fatality. Hopefully the NHTSA can light a fire under them and have this scary safety defect addressed.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL Y","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
