NHTSA complaint: 2021 TESLA MODEL Y — UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On 5/5/2021 my wife was driving in the Tesla Y taking her two grandkids to school and was stopped at a traffic light. The car was in Hold mode with a car in front of her and a car behind her. The car does not have Auto Pilot. All of a sudden the car started moving forward in an accelerated mode. My wife did not push the accelerator. The Tesla hit the car in front and then went into reverse and hit the car behind. Substantial damage to all three cars. My wife and my grandkids were terrified and everyone started screaming. My wife couldnât release her seatbelt because it tightened during the crashes. She had to call for help. This happened at 7:30am. The San Jose police took a report 21-125-0191.
