2016 Tesla Model S driver assistance complaints

As usual, I drove tesla to work. My parking spot is a head-in parking spot. To park my car I have to make a 90-degree turn, so I pressed the breaks to slow the car. Just as the car completed the 90-degree turn and I was about to stop the car to complete parking, it accelerated out of control. It jumped the curb in the front and hit bushes about 5-6 feet ahead. The car suffered extensive damage that is estimated to cost about $20,000. I also trust that tesla is committed to making tesla 100% safe to drive. Therefore, it is in both parties' interest to find what exactly happened. Fortunately, tesla keeps track of every movement that every tesla makes. The record can prove beyond doubt what exactly happened. I, therefore, request a complete record of what happened at the time of the incident. This incidence happened between 9:50 am and 10 am est on august 22, 2019. As I was making a 90-degree turn to park, your record would certainly show that I pressed the breaks during the turn. The only way I could have put the car in the high acceleration - that my wife and I noticed - would be that I lifted my feet from the break and instantly pressed very hard on the accelerated paddle. I can't understand how could that be feasible. If the record does not show this precise pattern, than it points to a potential software flaw. Please provide me and the federal safety agency with the complete record of every event that happened with my car on august 22, 2019 between around 9:50 am and 10 am. Some of the most important parameters that are crucial for the analysis of the situation are: what was the lowest speed of the car, at what time that happened, what was the highest acceleration of the car and the time interval between the lowest speed and highest acceleration.*dt
Failure of vehicle to engage automatic emergency braking or apply adaptive cruise control braking in repsonse to a vehicle abruptly stopping ahead. Vehicle had adaptive cruise engaged at 57 MPH on interstate highway and an acc sensitivity of 2. Vehicle forward collision warning did alert. This failure resulted in a rear-end collision with the car ahead.
On2/20/18 I was driving up my driveway. Upon reaching the top of the driveway, the car suddenly accelerated by itself resulting in the front of the car hitting the concrete wall in front. I informed tesla and they claim that the computer showed that I pressed on the accelerator instead of the break. My answer is that I did not pressed on the accelerator. It just accelerated by itself. Aside from me, I have 4 passengers that can attest to this. I have lived in this place since 1986 and this has never happened. Since I have been driving up my driveway for 32 years, it is so routine for me that it is already ritual for me at almost the same speed and when to pressed on the gas and brake pedals the same way every time. This has not happened to my other cars and as my car insurance will show I have not been involved in car accidents for many years. I have not been shown any evidence except what tesla told me. It is their words versus mine and my 4 other passengers who experienced what actually happened.

At approximately 9am on the morning of 1/4/18, I was driving in autopilot on the 405 heading north to my office in santa monica in my tesla model s and the car simply ran into the barrier wall on the left side of the car pool lane at 75mph. It was absolutely crazy! I have contacted tesla about the accident several times, but they are simply not interested. I just read about an accident that the u.s. National transportation safety board is investigating where the same thing happened and the driver died. I believe my accident could have ended the same way and I think it needs to be taken very seriously.
Though I indicated today's date for the event, has happened multiple times (at least 15) since I took delivery of the car in september. I would say on average it occurs approx 1x per week, when many systems fail and I get multiple warnings scrolling across the dash, followed by "car needs service." these include "ABS needs service", "tire pressure system disabled", "stability control disabled" "traction control disabled" "park assist disabled" "regenerative braking disabled" "automatic emergency braking disabled" "contact tesla service." in addition the steering is less responsive. Furthermore, today for the first time the "drive selector stick" that selects drive, park, reverse, neutral was unresponsive when starting. Then went in to neutral. Finally after several attempts it went in to reverse. This most frequently happens when starting the car, but sometimes occurs when in motion driving, at unpredictable times. They have had the car in to service a couple times. Most recently they had the car from november 26th until january 2nd, and assured me that they corrected the problem 100%. Which they did not.
I purchased the tesla model s on 10/17 with 'autopilot' hardware and features I've consistently used autopilot on the highway during the first month I've had the vehicle. The autopilot feature uses cameras and sensors to maintain speed and lane and avoid collisions. This car also features anti-collision features that are supposed to engage even when autopilot is not engaged, to detect both an object in front of the car and brake, as well as detect objects on either side that the car may be headed to collide with and swerve away. This features were all enabled at time of the accident. At the time of accident, I had autopilot engaged for approx 10 minutes prior to accident. I was still watching the road but periodically looking at my phone as well. Before the accident I had looked down at my phone for a period of time I'm not sure about. I didn't think it was longer than a few seconds, but I can't be certain. When I looked up the semi was merging in front of me. I would guess that the semi's trailer was perhaps 3-4 feet in my line, and I was maybe 50-100 feet away. So it was less than 1 second prior to impact. It was so quick there was no time for me to even hit the brake and the car was not braking or swerving to avoid collision either. Essentially, the auto pilot drove me right into the left rear of a semi tractor trailer at 70 MPH and the sensors/cameras for some reason did not detect this collision.
I received the car about a month ago and the front dashboard console that is a screen in front of the wheel reboots randomly when I am driving..I have to re start the whole system everytime to get it working and tell me the speedetails and other useful information... Tesla says that they don't know what the issue is and can't come to a conclusion on how you fix it.
