I am female safe driver with clean driving records, my tesla was third car stopped at traffic light on dec 19th in the city street, and all of sudden, i strongly believe that it triggered unintended spontaneous acceleration that resulted in accident with two cars ahead of me, damaged all 3 vehicles including mine, i pushed the brake immediately & parked before all airbags in my car deployed. i tried to prove my point to the insurance that its not my fault but its a car that became uncontrollable due to probably some kind of nightly automatic software update or a mechanical problem but insurance didn't agree and forced me to agree that i did it !
Rear windshield gets distorted every time the defrost is turned on. tesla has seen and noted the defect, stated this is normal on all tesla model 3 vehicles, and will not fix the problem. it is not normal as no other car i've ever driven in has this kind of distortion when using the defrost. i believe this should be registered as a safety recall asap.
In sudden heavy rain on busy highway (i5), the auto wipers wouldn't go on. to switch to manual or control wipers manually requires driver to take their eyes off the road for a significant amount of time to make 2 precise selections on touch screen. it was a bumpy-ish road and this required me to take my eyes off the road for even longer to click on correct wiper mode selection. it was a very dangerous situation to be in heavy traffic to lose visibility and then have to take my eyes off the road to navigate a touch screen. the real issue is that navigating the touch screen is like using a smartphone while driving and should not be required critical safety functions.
Rear windshield gets distorted and extremely difficult to view thru rear mirror when turning on rear defrost after 2 minutes. this is a repeatable/reproducible defect. attempted to have tesla remedy/replace rear windshield to no avail. they verified the distortion and stated it is a "normal operation" as it was found in their other vehicles as well. that is unacceptable as i've never had a vehicle with distorted glass upon turning on rear defrost. i believe this to be a major safety defect.
