Sudden unintended acceleration. the car suddenly accelerated instead of stopping when i applied the brakes while pulling into a parking space. i was going approximately 5 mph. instead of stopping, the car jumped a concrete parking block, went over a curb, climbed an embankment, and struck a tree before it came to a stop. the car suffered damage to the front driver's side wheel well and the undercarriage. the driver was not injured and the airbags did not deploy. video surveillance captured the incident in its entirety. photos of the scene and the resulting damage to the car are also attached. this incident occurred during a routine trip that i drive about 4 times each week. weather, traffic, and road conditions were not a factor in this incident. the car does not contain any aftermarket equipment.
Pulling into a parking place the car accelerated out of control even though the brake was pressed
The car auto accelerated on a surface street and crashed
Received a recall notice with nhtsa recall code 17v-260. there is a problem with the parking brake caliper that "can result in an inability to move a parked vehicle" or an "increased risk of a crash". i received this notice today, june 10, but tesla doesn't expect to have the necessary parts until october!! this to me seems unreasonable.
Vehicle accelerated suddenly and crashed into a tree in front while parking the car in a parking lot. we reported the problem to tesla but they got back to us denying any car malfunction that caused the acceleration. however we received a recall letter today saying that affected parking brake caliper may cause in rollaway and crash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 tesla model x. while parking the vehicle, it accelerated while depressing the brake pedal and crashed into a fence. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the air bags did not deploy. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacture was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,000.
Here is a freshly uploaded video of an owner using autopilot hands free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro4dhfcuyeo at 2:10 into the video he passes an oncoming school bus on an undivided road whilst waving his hands around and talking to the video recorder. there needs to be a very loud and clear warning issued to drivers that such behavior is dangerous and illegal. better yet, the autopilot experiment should be halted immediately. please act before more lives are lost.
