| Description of the problem | I am female safe driver with clean driving records, my tesla was third car stopped at traffic light on dec 19th in the city street, and all of sudden, i strongly believe that it triggered unintended spontaneous acceleration that resulted in accident with two cars ahead of me, damaged all 3 vehicles including mine, i pushed the brake immediately & parked before all airbags in my car deployed. I tried to prove my point to the insurance that its not my fault but its a car that became uncontrollable due to probably some kind of nightly automatic software update or a mechanical problem but insurance didn't agree and forced me to agree that i did it ! |
