2016 Tesla Model S complaints

TOUCH SCREEN FAILURE DURING DRIVING AND REVERSE AFTER UPGRADING TO FULL SELF DRIVING COMPUTER HARDWARE. COMPLETE LOSS OF SCREEN, REAR VIEW CAMERA, AUDIO, CLIMATE CONTROL AND ALL OTHER FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH TOUCH SCREEN. *TR

THE MAIN COMPUTER PANEL FAILED, GIVING NO ACCESS TO CONTROLS, CAMERA, HEAT AND AIR, AUTO BRAKING. AFTER THE 3RD TIME OF FAILURE THE MAIN COMPUTER PANEL STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. LEAVING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE IN THE FIRST 2 INSTANCES FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND A HARD RESET OF THE COMPUTER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE 3RD TIME IT STOPPED WORKING UPON STARTUP WHERE I HAD A 100 MILE DRIVE HOME AND DID HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE USE OF THE MAIN COMPUTER SCREEN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TESLA AND HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE MODULE REPLACED FOR OVER $2000.00. *TR

CAR STATIONARY. IN GARAGE MCU1 CENTER SCREEN DEAD UPON START OF CAR. ROOT CAUSE IS EMMC CHIP. CAR IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED AS MUCH FUNCTIONALITY IS CONTROLLED VIA THE MCU1.. TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK. CANNOT CHARGE CAR AT NORMAL OPERATING RATE. DETAILED IMPACT HERE HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/POSTS/4672707/ TESLA IS MAKING CUSTOMERS REPLACE DEFECTIVE MCU1 WITH SAME PART THAT ALSO HAS THE SAME MCU1 WITH SAME EMMC THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL OVER TIME. *TR

THE CENTER CONTROL SCREEN WENT BLANK AND COULD NOT BE REBOOTED. IT WAS DETERMINED BY TESLA THAT THE MCU COMPUTER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY FOUR YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THE PREVIOUS MONTH SO THE COST TO REPLACE WAS $1,680.25. THOUGH THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE THE TURN INDICATORS WOULD NOT WORK. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE ON ALL TESLAS THAT ARE FOUR YEARS OLD. THIS CAR ONLY HAD 47,770 MILES ON IT AT FAILURE. IT FAILED AT STARTUP. *TR

MY MODEL S HAS ALSO BEEN HAVING SCREEN AND REAR CAMERA ISSUES. ATLEAST TWICE A WEEK THE SCREEN GOES BLACK THEN FLASHES BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS WARM OUT. OTHER TIMES THE SCREEN LAGS AND THE REAR VIEW CAMERA EITHER STOPS WORKING OR HAS GLITCHES WHERE IT WILL PAUSE OR LAG. IT ACTUALLY CAUSED ME TO DAMAGE MY CAR BY BACKING INTO SOMETHING. *TR

WE ARE ALSO HAVE PROBLEM WITH OUR TESLA AND ITS EMMC MODULE (FLASH MEMORY IN MONTITOR, THIS CONTROLS EVERYTHING DASHBOARD VISUALS, SPEED ETC, SUNROOF, HVAC, REAR CAMERA, CAN PREVENT CAR FROM STARTING UP. *TR

2016 MODEL S TOUCHSCREEN WENT BLACK. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. TESLA SERVICE BLAMED IT ON THE COMPUTER FAILING. *TR

HERE IS A TESLA 3 WHEELER FRESHLY ARRIVED IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/36462892?ROWNUMBER=17 THE TREAD ON THE BACK WHEEL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STRIPPED AWAY AFTER THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. FINALLY, WHEN THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS COULD TAKE NO MORE THE ENTIRE WHEEL AND SUSPENSION FLEW OFF. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE STRETCHED AND BROKEN GIBLETS.... IT'S NOT PRETTY. THIS OWNER WAS LUCKY TO SURVIVE. MANY MORE OWNERS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THESE LETHAL FAILURES. DOES ELON MUSK HAVE A LICENSE TO KILL OR WHAT? PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. THESE THINGS ARE KILLERS ON THE ROADS. SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED. *TR

DRL BURN OUT REPEATEDLY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2016-2020 MODEL S HEADLIGHTS. HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN JUST 50K MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING OUT THE DRIVEWAY THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND, AND BECAME AWARE THAT THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM LOWER CONTROL ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE CONTACT STATED AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,497.

MY FRONT SUSPENSION IS CLUNKING AND CHATTERING AND CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE AT LOW SPEEDS. TESLA HAS DENIED IT TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

HERE IS A MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/35797112/6 FRONT WHEEL WHOMPY, BACK WHEEL VERY WHOMPY. THIS WOULD BE AMUSING IF IT WERE NOT SO SERIOUS. PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND HAVE THESE DEATH TRAPS RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN AND CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL WHILE HITTING ANOTHER PEDESTRIAN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A HEAD AND FOOT INJURIES SUSTAIN BY THE PEDESTRIANS THAT NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ANSWER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS. ALL FOUR WHEELS HAVE GONE WHOMPY AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN IN A CRASH. SEE FOR YOURSELVES JUST LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. BETTER YET...VISIT THE JUNKYARD AND INSPECT IT. TALK TO THE OWNER. THIS IS INSANE. PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL. I CAN ONLY REPORT THE OBVIOUS CASES WHERE THE WRECK IS NOT TOO BADLY MANGLED. I AM CERTAIN THAT THESE WEAK SUSPENSION PARTS HAVE CLAIMED MANY LIVES BUT DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES . HAVE A NICE DAY, TRY AND STAY AWAKE AND PLEASE DEMAND A TESLA RECALL. THANKS. KEEF

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT REPEATED SYSTEMIC FAILURES OF TESLA SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I HAVE USED THE VIN OF A RANDOM WRECKED TESLA IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ONLINE COMPLAINT. HERE IS PAGE 13 OF A LONG THREAD OF COMPLAINTS ON THE TESLA MOTORS CLUB FORUM. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-13#POST-4477250 MOST OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. SINCE I SOMETIMES PASS TESLAS TRAVELLING TOWARDS ME ON THE HIGHWAY I FEEL I HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. HERE ARE EXAMPLES FROM THAT THREAD. SNIP**KASPER1G SAID: ↑ MINE SNAPPED 7 DAYS AGO AND TODAY TESLA SAID THAT THE CONTROL ARM CAUSED MORE DAMAGE AND IT WOULD COST ME 12.000 TO FIX IT. SINCE THE CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS NOW 176K KM IT HAS NO MORE WARRANTY... I'M PREEEEETTTY MUCH F**KED ISN'T THE PART THAT FAILED PART OF THE US RECALL? IF SO, HOW IS THE UK PART DIFFERENT? I'D POSIT THAT THE ENTIRE REPAIR SHOULD BE A WARRANTY/SAFETY DEFECT REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR, NO? THIS ISN'T RIGHT; PLEASE ESCALATE WITH YOUR TESLA LEADERSHIP TEAM, AND SUGGEST A FOLLOW UP COMPLAINT TO THE UK VERSION OF THE US NHTSA--ALONG WITH A COPY OF THE RECALL.** SNIP** LOCATION:HONG KONG HAD THIS HAPPEN 6 DAYS AGO. TESLA REPLACED MY MX90D'S FRONT LEFT FORELINK... MY CAR ONLY HAS 13K KM ON IT AND IT IS 3 YEARS OLD. IT JUST SNAPPED BACKING OUT OF A SPOT,WHEN I TOOK MY CAR BACK OUT, THERE WERE SCRATCHING SOUNDS WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. ALMOST COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR PARK AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ENTERING A GARAGE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT CAUSE WHILE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE COLLIDED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO COLLIDE WITH A WALL, TOTALING IT. THE CONTACT STATED HER NECK WAS SORE HOWEVER, MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE WAS NOT FILED. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED NOR DID THE CONTACT HEAR ANY ABNORMAL NOSIE BEFORE THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ACCURATE AUTO BODY (9042 WILLOWS RD, REDMOND, WA 98052 (425-970-9699), HOWEVER THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,886.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT. AS I PASSED THE VEHICLE AND RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. UNSURE OF THE REASON FOR THIS CONTINUED ACCELERATION, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO MATCH THE SPEED OF THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. ARRIVING AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE RAPID ACCELERATION STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GO BACK TO MY HOME AND INSPECT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. UPON INSPECTING THESE, I OBSERVED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT DIRECTLY BELOW THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RAISED UP FROM ITS NORMALLY FLAT POSITION ON THE CAR FLOOR ENOUGH TO CATCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND KEEP IT DEPRESSED. WHEN I TURNED OVER THE FLOOR MAT, I SAW THAT A CIRCULAR PIECE OF VELCRO ATTACHED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR MAT, HAD LOST ITS ADHESIVENESS CAUSING IT TO DETACH FROM THE FLOOR MAT AND BUNCH UP UNDER THE FLOOR MAT BELOW THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS BUNCHING UP WAS ENOUGH TO RAISE THE FLOOR MAT TO A SUFFICIENT HEIGHT TO CATCH THE PEDAL. HAD I NOT KEPT COOL AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, I SHUDDER TO THINK OF THE WRECKAGE AND CARNAGE WHICH MAY HAVE ENSUED. THIS CAR ADVERTISES ACCELERATION AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED; 0-60 MPH IN A MERE 5.5 SECONDS. THAT IS HARDLY ENOUGH TIME TO REACT TO SUCH A FRIGHTENING SITUATION! CURIOUS ABOUT HOW OTHER CAR BRANDS DEAL WITH DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER AND TESLA HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TO CORRECT SAFETY RECALL CODE: 19V-002

EXPERIENCING MAJOR AND PAINFUL PRESSURE BUFFETING FROM THE LIFT GATE OF THE MODEL S. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AMONGST MANY OWNERS AND THE RESOLUTION IS TO ADJUST THE RUBBER DISCS THAT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PLASTIC ADJUSTABLE SHIMS OF THE CAR BODY. I'VE PERFORMED THIS ADJUSTMENT AND SO HAS THE SERVICE CENTER. BUT NOW, THERE'S NO WAY OF RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, TESLA SERVICE REFUSES TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. MY 15 YEAR OLD SON AND I PERFORMED EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER, AND WE DISCOVERED A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE INCONSISTENT PANEL GAPS OF THE REAR PORTION OF THE MODEL S AND THE PRESSURE BUFFETING. THE THREADING ATTACHED TO THE FRAME, UNDER THE PLASTIC ADJUSTABLE SHIM IS STRAIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND ASKEW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE SURROUNDING ALUMINUM IS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF DUCTILE FRACTURING. THE MOVEMENT OF THIS THREADED COMPONENT, PREVENTS THE SHIM FROM SITTING EQUAL TO THE DRIVERS SIDE SHIM, THEREFORE CAUSING THE LIFT GATE NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY SIT LEVEL, CAUSING INCONSISTENT GAPS AT THE ADJOINING PANEL TRANSITIONS. EVEN MORE DISTURBING, THE ALUMINUM BODY PANEL THAT SURROUNDS THE LIFT GATE OPENING IS EXHIBITING A SIGNIFICANT TENSION STRESS. I HAVEN'T REMOVED ANY INTERIOR BODY TRIM PANELS TO EXAMINE THE ADJACENT PANELS. I MEASURED THE BODY GAPS RESULTING FROM THIS STRUCTURAL FAILURE WITH A DIGITAL CALIPER. THE DIFFERENCE IN SPACING IS 3MM. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE THREADED ROD AREA SHOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE WALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE IMPACT, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT AND PASSENGERS DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURIES. THE INSURANCE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ENTERING THE GARAGE AT THE RESIDENCE, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A WALL AND A WATER HEATER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER TESLA SERVICE CENTER LOCATED AT 68080 PEREZ RD, CATHEDRAL CITY, CA 92234, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED ON JANUARY 23,2020, SHE SELECTED THE FEATURE TO AUTOMATIC PARK HER VEHICLE, BUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS REVERSING IT IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE ON A FAULTY AIR SUSPENSION 5+ TIME IN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. FAULT CONTINUES AND THE SUSPENSION IS LOCKED IN ITS LOWEST SETTING WHEN FAULT HAPPENS. NO RHYME OR REASON WAS TO WHEN THE FAULT HAPPENS, STATIONARY OR MOVING, EXPERIENCED THE FAULT IN ALL

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WITH MY FOOT LIFTED ABOVE BOTH PEDALS (BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD. I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MOST OF THESE UNINTENDED ACCELERATIONS WERE DUE TO A DRIVER HITTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SO I NOTED THAT MY FOOT WAS NOT RESTING OR PRESSING ON EITHER PEDAL. I PUT IT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STOPPED, BUT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD NO CRUISE CONTROL OR STEERING AID ACTIVATED. I ALSO HAVE 'CREEP MODE' TURNED OFF.

ON 1/18/20, I WAS TRAVELLING IN MY 2016 TESLA MODEL S P100D EASTWARD ON ANDERSON HILL ROAD TOWARD THE INTERSECTION WITH PURCHASE STREET. THE STOP LIGHT WAS RED. I WAS DRIVING 1MI UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND FREEZING, AND A WET SNOW HAD BEGUN 5-10MIN EARLIER, WITH MINIMAL ACCUMULATION. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST I WAS GOING BECAUSE I HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON. I WAS NOT ON AUTOPILOT. JUST CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE INTERSECTION AND STOP LIGHT CAME INTO VIEW, I TAPPED THE BREAK TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THEN DEPRESSED THE BREAK TO SLOW THE CAR. NOTHING HAPPENED. THE BREAKS WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AND NEITHER DID THE REGENERATIVE BREAKING. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I WAS SKIDDING OR SLIDING. IT SIMPLY FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD NO IDEA I WANTED TO BRAKE. IT WAS VERY VERY STRANGE. IN THOSE FEW SECONDS IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE I WOULD BE DEAD SHORTLY. AS IT HAPPENS, I WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY A LARGE SUBURBAN TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND ON PURCHASE STREET PERHAPS 25 MILES AN HOUR. BOTH HE AND I SEEM TO HAVE EMERGED RELATIVELY UNSCATHED (PHYSICALLY, ANYWAY) THANK GOD. BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT TESLA AND DEMAND ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE CARS COMPUTERS - AND THEIR COMPUTERS AT HQ - SO WE CAN FIND OUT??? WHAT HAPPENED WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND COULD HAVE KILLED BOTH ME ND OTHERS. TO SUMMARIZE: BRAKE FAILURE, BOTH MANUAL AND DEGENERATIVE, IN 2016 TESLA MODEL S CAUSED MASSIVE COLLISION WITH BOTH CARS TO

I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WHILE PULLING INTO THE GARAGE WHILE TAPPING THE BRAKE THE CAR DID PROPEL FOWARD HITTING AN ITEM I HAD HANGING ON THE WALL.

MY WIFE DROVE THE TESLA MODEL S TO WORK AT O'CONNOR HOSPITAL. ONCE SHE AT THE PARKING LOT AND MANEUVERING INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND IT END UP OVER THE CURB INTO THE LANDSCAPE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. AFTER FIXING, WE HAVE ASKED TESLA CENTER TO LOOK INTO THE LOG TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THE CAR BUT THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE IT TOOK A MONTH TO FIX THE CAR SO THAT LOG WAS FILLED WITH TOO MANY OTHER NOTIFICATIONS. THE DAMAGE WAS ALMOST 9K AND WE HAD INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASE SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

PLEASE NOTE, VIN OF A JUNKYARD TESLA USED TO FILE COMPLAINT, THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A 2016 MODEL S OF UNKNOWN VIN. DISCUSSION THREAD OF BROKEN SUSPENSION FORE-LINK HERE. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/SUSPENSION-FAILURE.181184/PAGE-2 OWNER HAS NOW POSTED IMAGES OF THE BROKEN PARTS WHICH ARE ATTACHED TO THIS SUBMISSION. DRIVER IS ADAMANT THAT HE HAS NOT ABUSED THE CAR. SNIP ** PL VIEW PICS. IM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER, HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING PERHAPS GONE INTO A FEW COUNTRY ROAD POT HOLES BUT THAT IS NOT UNUSUAL. I DON'T AGREE WITH MELOCCOM ABOUT SUSPENSION. THESE ITEMS SHOULD LAST CARS LIFE NOT BE A FRAGILE ITEM SUBJECT TO YEARLY SCRUTINY. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO MUCH NOISE IN AUS ABOUT FAILED SUSPENSION. PERHAPS TESLA HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE PARTS WHEN THEY SEE THE CARS. IT APPEARS TO AFFECT CARS WITH AWD MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD. IT WILL MOST LIKELY PRESENT AS A CRACK AT THE SMALL END OF THE FOREARM YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE IT TO CHECK. IF IT FAILS THERE WILL BE A LOUD SHUDDER WHICH MIGHT SHAKE THE BONNET. THIS IS GENERALLY OBSERVED AT LOW SPEEDS WHILST PARKING AND THE WHEEL MAY HIT THE WHEEL ARCH WHEN YOU DRIVE OFF.** THE IMAGES SHOW THAT THIS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY BAD DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE. THE SAME FAILURE HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OTHER TESLAS AND IS PROBABLY THE CAUSE OF SOME FATAL CRASHES. THIS SITUATION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. MORE PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED UNNECESSARIL. THANK YOU KEEF WIVANEFF

MODEL S IN JUNKYARD AND GUESS WHAT! THE BACK WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/34900296/2 NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED, NO IMPACT DAMAGE. THE SUSPENSION LINKS ARE STRETCHED UNTIL THEY HAVE SNAPPED AND THEN THE WHOLE SHEMOZZLE HAS EXITED THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL ( LEAVING STRETCH MARKS). OTHER ROAD USERS ARE LIKELY TO BE UNIMPRESSED BY THESE SNAP-OFF WHEELS WHEN ONE OF THEM SMASHES THEIR FACE IN. THIS SITUATION IS INSANE AND LUDICROUS. IWOULD YOU PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO IMMEDIATELY GROUND THESE CONTRAPTIONS. THANK YOU. KEEF WIVANEFF

THERE IS A PENDING RECALL FOR THIS VIN. I WAS DELIVERED THIS USED VEHICLE BY TESLA IN APR 2019. I ASKED THEM TO COMPLETE THE RECALL AT THAT TIME. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS BACKORDERED. SEVERAL REMINDERS AND 9 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS TESLA IN NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THIS RECALL.

HERE IS A MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/60431229 THE DRIVER HAS ESCAPED DEATH BY A FEW INCHES WHEN THE CAR RAN INTO A WOODEN POLE WHICH HAS ENTERED THROUGH THE WINDSCREEN AND SPEARED THROUGH INTO THE BACK SEAT. A SHARP EYED INVESTIGATOR WILL NOTICE THAT THE BACK RH WHEEL HAS LOST ITS TIRE AND HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK INTO THE WHEEL WELL. IT SEEMS MOST UNLIKELY THAT THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. IT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS THE WHEEL GOING WHOMPY THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO SWERVE AND NARROWLY MISS IMPALING THE DRIVER. I REALLY FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE THESE FAILED SUSPENSIONS WHICH OCCUR ALMOST DAILY. THANK YOU. KEEF

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT TESLA AUTOPILOT THAT APPLIES TO ALL MODELS OF TESLA. I HAVE USED THE VIN OF A JUNKYARD TESLA IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS FORM. HERE IS A DISCUSSION THREAD IN WHICH AN OWNER COMPLAINS THAT FOLLOWING A RECENT OVER THE AIR UPDATE THE CAR TRIES TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING CARS OR OFF THE ROAD EVEN WHEN AUTOPILOT IS NOT ENGAGED. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/WARNING-FOR-TESLA-DRIVERS-ON-STEEP-MOUNTAIN-ROADS.180781/ SNIP**IN OUR CASE THIS RESULTS IN THE CAR SWERVING TOWARDS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND ONLY VERY QUICK REACTIONS AND OVERPOWERING THE WHEEL (AND SO FAR, LUCK) KEEPS THE CAR ON THE ROAD.** PLEASE READ THAT THREAD. TO COMPOUND THE DANGER MANY TESLA OWNERS DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONE HAND OR FINGER ON THE WHEEL OR HOLD THE WHEEL IN A MANNER THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GRAB THE WHEEL FIRMLY IN AN EMERGENCY. DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOLS TEACH THAT BOTH HANDS SHOULD BE HOLDING THE WHEEL WHENEVER POSSIBLE. IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN GLITCH OF THE POWER STEERING IT NEEDS CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO PREVENT A DISASTER. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE HOLDING THE WHEEL IN THE WRONG WAY. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=S_Q-JWUQQZG CONSENSUS AMONG TESLA OWNERS IS THAT THIS IS OK. TESLA AUTOPILOT CONSIDERS THIS MEETS THE DEFINITION OF "HANDS ON WHEEL" IT IS TIME TO REIN IN THIS RECKLESS EXPERIMENT. PLEASE TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU KEEF WIVANEFF

HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/60677309/PHOTOS FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BROKEN FORE-LINKS (SUBJECT OF MANY OTHER REPORTED FAILURES) BROKEN LINKS HAVE SCRAPED THROUGH THE WHEEL FROM THE INSIDE SLICING IT IN TWO. THE SLICED WHEEL HAS BEEN STASHED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR - PHOTO ATTACHED. EVEN THOUGH THESE FORE-LINKS ARE THE SUBJECT OF A TSB TESLA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO WARN OWNERS OR TO RETROFIT THE PARTS BEFORE THEY FAIL. TESLA FORUM DISCUSSIONS PROVE THIS.

THREAD: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-8#POST-4081304 HOW IN THE WORLD IS TESLA ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS? MOST OWNERS REPORTS ARE ABOUT CASES WERE THIS PART HAS FAILED AT LOW SPEED. FAILURES AT HIGH SPEED? DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. ONE DAY SOON THE MEDIA WILL HAVE THE COURAGE TO REPORT ON THIS DESPITE THE DETERMINED EFFORTS OF THE TESLA PROPAGANDA ORGANIZATION. THIS WILL NOT BE A GOOD LOOK FOR NHTSA.

FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS GHOSTING AFFECT WHEN VIEWING LIGHTS AT NIGHT. THIS IS MOST VISIBLE WITH LED LIGHTS SUCH AS NEW CAR TAIL LIGHTS AND NEWER TRAFFIC LIGHTS. LIGHTS APPEARS TO HAVE MULTIPLE VERSION OF THE SAME IMAGE WITH AN ADDITIONAL SET BEING ABOVE THE ACTUAL LIGHT AND ANOTHER SET BELOW. THESE ADDITIONAL LIGHTS MAKE IT VERY DISTRACTING AND DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE SOURCES OF LIGHTS SUCH AS HEAVY TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TESTED BY A TESLA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THE MULTIPLE IMAGES WERE WITHIN SPECS AND A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD WAS NOT NECESSARY. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT NIGHT WHEN OTHER CARS HAVE THEIR HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS TURNED ON. THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VIEWING THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

DOORS RANDOMLY POP OPEN. WHEN ENTERING THE CAR FROM ANY DOOR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR POP OPEN. THE DOORS ALSO POP OPEN ANYTIME THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK. SOMEIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, OR WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC JAMS. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, FRANKLY ANYWHERE. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK THE DOORS POP OPEN. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS LOW MILES AND ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD. 3 OUT OF 4 DOORS HAVE HAD ISSUES. I SEE ON TESLA FORUMS THAT I AM ONE OF MANY PEOPLE THIS HAPPENS TO, SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, IN SOME CASES SOONER ALL OF THESE OWNERS FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO, THAT THERE ARE CLEARLY FAULTY DOORS THAT TESLA NOT ADDRESSING AS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOORS POP OPEN UNDER VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE, HAVING SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN. ALTHOUGH MY CHILDREN SIT IN BACK, I AM OFTEN TRANSPORTING ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR POP OPEN IN TRAFFIC IS ALARMING AND CONCERNING TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE MOTORS IN THE DOORS ARE ROUTINELY DISCUSSED IN TESLA FORUMS AS HAVING PROBLEMS. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY IN WHICH THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE OPENED FROM THE

TESLA MODEL S FRESHLY ARRIVED IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/58902739/PHOTOS THE ENTIRE REAR SUSPENSION HAS SNAPPED OFF WITH ALL OF THE LINKS BROKEN. THIS IS NOT THE RESULT OF A CRASH. NO AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THE ONLY MARK ON THE BODYWORK IS AROUND THE WHEEL WELL CAUSED BY THE WHEEL WHOMPING AROUND. THIS IS UTTERLY INSANE. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECALL THESE DEADLY CARS? KEEF OUTRAGED CITIZEN FORCED TO SHARE THE ROADS WITH THESE DEADLY OUT OF CONTROL BATTERING RAMS.

I HAVE A 90D THAT IS NOW SEEM TO BE A 75D. TESLA UPDATE 10 HAS TAKEN AWAY VOLTAGE. THE CAR NOW DRIVES IN THE LOW 300S WHEREAS IT USED TO BE MID 250S. THEY'VE TAKEN AWAY RANGE. BEFORE UPDATE 10, I GOT 277 MILES AT 90%. TWO SUPER CHARGERS AGO, AFTER LOADING UPDATE 10, IT WOULD ONLY CHARGE TO 266 MI AT 100% THEY'VE TAKEN AWAY FAST CHARGING SPEEDS. THE CAR USED TO CHARGE BETWEEN 107 TO 110 KW PER HOUR AND NOW TOPS IS 60S AND 70S. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL BATTERY DEGRADATION BUT THIS IS NOT IT. I CALLED TESLA YESTERDAY 11 /26 /2019, TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE SERVICE REP MENTIONED THAT THE LAST UPDATES MAY HAVE ROLLED OUT FIXES FOR BATTERY LONGEVITY AND HEALTH. MY ISSUES ARE THAT I PAID FOR A 90D AND NOW HAVE THE EQUIVALENT OF A 75 D. WHY? IF THERE ARE ISSUES WITH BATTERY HEALTH, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IT CAUSING A FIRE AS HAS APPEARED IN THE NEWS LATELY, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND WOULD LIKE IT FIXED. I DON'T NEED A FIRE ERUPTED IN MY GARAGE RIGHT BELOW MY BEDROOM WHILE I'M SLEEPING. ALSO I NEED TO TAKE 1500 MILE TRIP SHORTLY AND AM NOW EXTREMELY NERVOUS THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. ON TOP OF THAT UNCERTAINTY, THERE IS ALSO EXTRA THE HOURS THAT WILL BE ADDED TO MY TRIP DUE TO THIS DECREASE IN MILEAGE, CHARGING SPEED AND PERFORMANCE. AS A LONE FEMALE DRIVER I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING ON THE ROAD LONGER THAN I HAVE TO BE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD GET THERE SOONER THAN IT WILL NOW. PLEASE HELP TO GET ANSWERS AND TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED.

MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT HER SCHOOL AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED (AS SHE WAS PARKING BETWEEN 2 CARS). THE VEHICLE WAS IN CHILL MODE, WHICH MEANS THAT IT CANNOT ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHEN SHE WAS ROUGHLY OF THE WAY INTO THE PARKING SPOT WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WAS IN PERFORMANCE MODE. IT WENT OVER A CURB AND INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE (WHICH WAS ROUGHLY 10-12 FEET PAST THE CURB) BEFORE SHE COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP ITSELF. THIS WAS AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND CHILDREN WERE PRESENT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT. TESLA HAS YET TO RESPOND TO OUR INQUIRIES REGARDING THE INCIDENT.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FRAGILE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE USED A VIN FROM A JUNKYARD TESLA TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN OF THE CAR THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS ALARMING VIDEO. LINK: HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/MELAYNALOKOSKY/STATUS/1190452753627090944?S=21 THE TESLA SUDDENLY SWERVES RIGHT. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THIS IS DRIVER ERROR. MORE LIKELY THE TESLA HAS HAD A MECHANICAL FAILURE OR HAS ENTERED "INSANE MODE" NO MATTER. THE BACK WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. THE WHEEL AND TIRE DID NOT GET BIFFED MUCH. WHY DID THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION GO WHOMPY. PERHAPS IF THEY DID NOT MAKE THE PARTS OUT OF EXTRUDED MONKEY METAL??? RESPECTFULLY UNHINGED CITIZEN ETC.ETC. *TR

2016 TESLA, 3 YRS OLD WITH 61,170 MILES. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, AT SLOW SPEED, WITH STEERING WHEEL TURNED, BOTH FORELINKS (SUSPENSION ARMS) BROKE. THE CAR APPEARED DRIVE-ABLE AND THE ONLY ISSUE I NOTICED WAS A LOUD METAL GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. TESLA SERVICE CENTER INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED BOTH FORELINKS WERE BROKEN BUT I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK ON ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE (I.E. STEERING KNUCKLE) RESULTING FROM THIS ISSUE.

HERE IS A TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS?ITEMID=33887421&ROWNUMBER=2&SIMILARVEHICLEITEMID=&ISNEXT=&LOADRECENT=TRUE BIOHAZARD STICKERS INDICATE THAT AN OCCUPANT HAS BEEN INJURED. THE FRONT STEERING KNUCKLE HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. IT IS UNKNOWN WHETHER THE SNAPPED KNUCKLE WAS THE CAUSE OR THE RESULT OF THE CRASH HOWEVER IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CASTING IS OF LOW QUALITY. SUCH A CRUCIAL COMPONENT SHOULD NOT BE MADE OF BRITTLE MONKEY METAL. QUALITY CONTROL AT THE SUPPLIER AND AT TESLA IS DEFICIENT. I PETITION YOU TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE REASON FOR SO MANY TESLAS SUFFERING FROM SUSPENSION BREAKAGES.

RE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP19005 - INVESTIGATION SUBJECT : BATTERY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATES STARTING WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN MAY 2019, TESLA CAPPED THE MAX VOLTAGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WOULD CHARGE TO. THEY CLAIM THEY DID THIS "OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION" AFTER SEVERAL NON-CRASH FIRES HAPPENED TO THESE MODELS. TESLA TOOK ACTION TO DOWNGRADE HORSEPOWER AND RANGE ALONG WITH ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF PERFORMANCE THROUGH A TOTAL VOLTAGE CAP AFTER CLAIMING TO BE RELEASING A FIRE-SAFETY UPDATE, BUT OFFICIALLY NO SAFETY UPDATE WAS RELEASED. THIS CHANGE HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND STATIONARY.

MY CAR IS SUPPOSED TO CHARGE AT A RATE OF 120KW AT THE TESLA SUPERCHARGERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY BUT TESLA HAS THROTTLED MY MAX POSSIBLE SPEED TO 93KW. THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY BATTERY IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS DEGREDATED TO A POINT OF WHICH IT CANNOT CHARGE AT FULL SPEEDS AND THE REDUCTION IN SPEED IS TO ENSURE MY CAR BATTERY WILL NOT BECOME FURTHER DAMAGED. THIS BATTERY CHARGING ISSUE OCCURRED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP AND I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS WHEN PURCHASING MY USED TESLA FROM THE TESLA WEBSITE. I REQUESTED TESLA TO REPAIR MY BATTERY SO I CAN CHARGE AT THE FULL ADVERTISED SPEED BUT THEY ARE DECLINING ANY REPAIRS AND STATING THAT MY BATTERY IS WITHIN THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE AND THIS SLOW DOWN WILL ONLY ADD A FEW EXTRA MINUTES TO EACH OF MY CHARGING SESSIONS. WHEN I'M TRAVELING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS AT THE SUPERCHARGING STATIONS THEY ALL ARE ACHIEVING THE FULL CHARGING SPEED OF 120KW OR EVEN FASTER IN SOME CASES. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS APPROX 58000 MILES AND THE BATTERY IS STILL COVERED UNDER TESLAS 8 YEAR UNLIMITED MILE WARRANTY.

AUTOPILOT FEATURE IS EITHER NOT DETECTING ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONES OR DETECTS BUT THE SOFTWARE IGNORES THEM AND FOLLOW THE WHITE LINES. THE DASHCAM VIDEO IS AVAILABLE AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

ONE OF THE LIGHTS DOES NOT TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF. A MANUAL RESET FROM THE MAIN CONTROL SCREEN IS NEEDED TO TURN THEM ON. THE VIDEO FOOTAGE IS AVAILABLE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.DROPBOX.COM/S/RNJE8Y4TC3GRXG3/TESLA_LIGHTS_BUG.MP4?DL=0

AFTER THE SHOCK (BECAUSE OF THE FAILED AUTOPILOT), ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO TURN THEM ON BY USING THE WHICH NEAR THE WHEEL. TO TURN THEM ON, I HAD TO RESET THE CAR FROM THE CENTRAL CONSOLE. THE DASHCAM FOOTAGE IS AVAILABLE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.DROPBOX.COM/S/RJVY3FTOAKX7J74/TESLA_AUTOPILOT_AND_LIGHTS_DEFECTS.MP4?DL=0

TESLA PUSHED OVER-THE-AIR SOFTWARE UPDATES TO MY VEHICLE, WHICH REDUCED THE RANGE THE CAR COULD TRAVEL ON A SINGLE CHARGE, OWNERS. THE SOFTWARE UPDATES, WHICH STARTED IN MAY 2019, WERE MADE TO FIX FOR BATTERIES THAT COULD IGNITE IN NON-CRASH SCENARIOS.

MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. VENDOR HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SNAPPED FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS. THE SUSPENSION ARM HAS BROKEN IN HALF DUE TO THE BAD QUALITY CAST MONKEY METAL THAT TESLA USES. HOW MANY MORE EXAMPLES OF THESE FAILURES DO YOU NEED BEFORE YOU DEMAND A RECALL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. VEXED CITIZEN ETC. ETC.

DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY USING AUTOPILOT THE CAR ACCELERATED AND PULLED LEFT, ENDED UP IN THE OPPOSITE LANE AND ALMOST OFF ROAD OVER A CLIFF. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD WITH MY TESLA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL, IT SUDDENLY BRAKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHILE THE IMMEDIATE COLLISION ALARM WENT OFF. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF MINE AND NO IMMEDIATE RISK FOR COLLISION. TESLA NEEDS TO IMPROVE THE AUTOPILOT FEATURES AS THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS.

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 NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) WITH THE COMPLETE RECORD OF EVERY EVENT THAT HAPPENED WITH MY CAR ON AUGUST 22, 2019

SUDDEN SQUEAK AND FRONT OF THE CAR FELT MORE BOUNCY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR ANY ELEVATION. ALSO WHEN LOWERING OR RAISING AIR SUSPENSION WILL MAKE RUBBING SOUND. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INTO ACCIDENT OR ANY DAMAGE.
