The US auto-safety regulator is asking Tesla To provide information on the growing number of customer complaints which are the company’s most popular vehicles break for unforeseen reasons as it intensifies its month-long investigation into the issue.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said On Friday that it issued a letter to Tesla last month, receiving 758 reports of unexpected braking, often referred to as “phantom braking,” in some Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossover vehicles from 2021 and 2022. This figure is almost double the number of NHTSA complaints. Said earlier this year that it had been received. NHTSA said the auto maker has until June 20 to respond.
