Some of the unintended acceleration complaints against Tesla, which have yet to be verified by NHTSA, allege that the cars' electronics malfunctioned.
NHTSA is already investigating three December crashes involving Tesla vehicles in which three people were killed. The agency's special crash investigations unit sent teams to Gardena, California, and near Terre Haute, Indiana, to probe two fatal crashes. Another crash in Connecticut also is under investigation.
"The sheer number of complaints would certainly catch my eye," said Borris, who now runs an auto safety consulting business. He said the timing of the petition is good, because the agency needs to do a"deeper dive" into Tesla safety. In his 69-page petition, Sparks analyzed the complaints to NHTSA and determined that many of the crashes happened while drivers were parking the Teslas. He compared Tesla's unintended acceleration complaint rate to other vehicles and found Tesla's to be much higher.
