Complaint Summary
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Owner Narrative
While returning the Tesla during a demo drive, the car suddenly braked extremely hard in the middle of the road for no reason. It was bright and sunny, and we were coming up to a green light. It caused me to slam my head back into the seat. There was seemingly no reason for the emergency braking, and if someone were behind me, it would have caused a collision.
