Narrative

Was stopped at a light and the car rapidly accelerate on its own hitting the car in front of me. The air bags didn't deploy. I stepped on the break pedal but the car continued to accelerate, I have informed Tesla and opened a service ticket. A police report was filed for the resulting accident involving 2 other cars. I have also had instances in the recent past where while driving on the highway the car has rapidly slowed down / applied the breaks for now obvious reason. The phantom breaking issue reported by many.
