Owner's description
I noticed you have a recall for SOME Teslas about a glitch with the auto braking after latest Beta FSD rollout. My Tesla has had this since day one, and I don't have or use FSD. I do use the adaptive cruise control, and that is when I have problems with my car slamming on the brakes for no reason. I have been lucky, 3 times I have ALMOST, been rear-ended. I have had it in the shop a couple times for the issue, and they tell me to read the manual and the car is fine. I have talked with 5 other Tesla owners, and they have all had the problem of their car slamming on the brakes for no REAL reason. I think the GLITCH is a bigger problem than Tesla is willing to admit, and applies to most Tesla cars. there are even website forums about, "Phantom Braking", which is lingo for the same thing
