2018 Tesla Model S Brakes Problems

“I drove to work on may 2, 2019, and was trying to park in my allotted parking stall on the 3rd level of my office parking garage. My parking stall was along the outer edge of the garage and the only barrier to the outside was a set of three (about diameter) cables strung between outside columns of the garage, besides a thin perforated corrugated metal sheet outside the cables, acting as a rain stop. I was trying to slowly turn right from the parking aisle to park between two pickup trucks on either side of my stall. …”

“It was on friday morning on january 11th 2020 at 8.30am. I was slowly pulling into a parking space in front of my medical office where I have practiced for 21 years. I was in an outdoor parking deck. I touched the brakes to stop the car and the car suddenly accelerated forwards and hit a concrete wall in front of it. I know that I did not hit the accelerator. I was slammed into my steering wheel. My airbag did not deploy. I have been driving for 30 years and have driven a Tesla for 5 years. I know the difference between the accelerator and the brake. …”

“I pulled my Tesla Model S in a parking lot, and as I turned the car into a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb next to the parking lot and hit a tree. The car speed when I pulled into the parking lot and then into a parking spot was very low. so I was very surprised and startled to see the car suddenly on its own accelerating and jumping the curb.”

“My Model S routinely experiences phantom braking . I'm driving down the freeway with the Tesla autopilot engaged and it momentarily hits the brakes, usually slowing 15-20mph before it either it recovers or I intervene. I've also experienced phantom braking with just the traffic aware cruise control engaged and not the autopilot .”

“I have experienced many times phantom braking . When I reported that to a Tesla service center 2 years ago, they did not know of this problem. It is scary and dangerous especially for the cars following me It only happens to me on the freeway when in ADAS mode. There is a exact place on the 5 freeway SB near Disneyland, that each time I drive there, phantom braking happens. Further also random without noticing any reason for it.”
