Complaint Summary

Owner Narrative
Tesla Y on the freeway, FSD on(Full Self Driving), driving at 70 mph. I saw the cars ahead are slowing but my car was not slowing, so I braked and held the steering wheel firmly. However, my car still hit the car in front at 36 mph. The airbag deployed and luckily I only sprained my thumb in both hands in holding the steering wheel very hard. If I didn't take over my car would have hit the car in front at 70 mph. I downloaded Tesla "Vehicle Data Report" and it shows that the "FSD was active, Cruise Control State was active, Driver Monitoring Detection was detected and I applied the brake. I used FSD for over 3 years and no problem at all, until the accident. The Tesla Data shows that the FSD malfunctioned that caused the accident but my insurance told me that it was my fault and they increased my insurance for $227 a month.
