It also asks whether the company\u2019s \u201cFull Self Driving\u201d and automatic emergency braking systems were active at the time of any incident.<\/p>\n<p>The agency began investigating phantom braking in Tesla\u2019s Models 3 and Y last February after getting 354 complaints. The probe covers an estimated 416,000 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years. In February, the agency said it had no reports of crashes or injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The letter gives Tesla a deadline of June 20 to respond to the information request but says the company can ask for an extension.<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Tesla tumbled 8% in midday trading.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/tesla-investigation2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Tesla cars sit at charging stations\" class=\"wp-image-22521858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/tesla-investigation2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/tesla-investigation2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/tesla-investigation2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>\u201cComplainants report that the rapid deceleration can occur without warning, and often repeatedly during a single drive cycle,\u201d NHTSA said.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A message was left early Friday seeking comment from Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>In opening the probe, the agency said it was looking into vehicles equipped with automated driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control and \u201cAutopilot,\u201d which allows them to automatically brake and steer within their lanes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComplainants report that the rapid deceleration can occur without warning, and often repeatedly during a single drive cycle,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Many owners wrote in their complaints that they feared a rear-end crash on a freeway.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>In the letter, NHTSA asks for the initial speed of when the cars began to brake, the final speed, and the average deceleration. It also asks if the automated systems detected a target obstacle, and whether Tesla has video of the braking incidents.<\/p>\n<p>The agency is now seeking information on warranty claims for phantom braking including the owners\u2019 names and what repairs were made. It\u2019s also seeking information on Tesla\u2019s sensors, any testing or investigations into the braking problems, or if any modifications were made.<\/p>\n<p>The letter focuses on Tesla\u2019s testing of the automated systems when it comes to detecting metal bridges, s-shaped curves, oncoming and cross traffic, and different sizes of vehicles including large trucks. The agency also wants information on how cameras deal with reflections, shadows, glare and blockage due to snow or heavy rain.<\/p>\n<p>The agency asks Tesla to detail its assessment of the \u201calleged defect\u201d in the automated systems, including what caused the unnecessary braking, what failed, and the risk to motor vehicle safety that the problem poses. It asks Tesla \u201cwhat warnings, if any, the operator and the other persons both inside and outside the vehicle would have that the alleged defect was occurring, or subject component was malfunctioning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The probe is another in a string of enforcement efforts by the agency that include Autopilot and \u201cFull Self-Driving\u201d software. Despite their names, neither feature can drive the vehicles without people supervising.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fourth formal investigation of the Texas automaker in the past three years, and NHTSA is supervising 23 Tesla recalls since January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla and CEO Elon Musk have been fighting with US and California government agencies for years, sparring with NHTSA and most notably with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
