1 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2025

This is a new one but not new for me as this vehicle was the first under my own registration/not rental. Had passenger in car and with music down the passenger heard a very clear odd word which I can only assume was its desire, we declined. This is the umpteenth of many odd and offensive remarks that can cause odd distortion to within the immersive sound system and was what I previously attributed to rental vehicle blue tooths or dysfunctional family raising. Its offensive, distracting, and sometime low-level so unhealthy. Im awaiting the response from Tesla but it should be documented as ive seen isac section on this website, and ive dealt with it since 2018 , and ended up having to put boxing gloves in my trunk for potentially violent followers trying to pair and talk obscene. Im not sure what but its been confirmed and im awaiting the reply from manufacturer.

2 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2025

Tesla’s obstruction of repairs Tesla deleted my original service complaint and annotations regarding these delivery defects. The associated service appointment was cancelled without notice or rescheduling. No repairs were performed despite the issues being raised during the warranty period. This prevented reasonable repair attempts and allowed the defects to persist. Current nonconformities and repair history the same or substantially similar defects continue and have worsened: • recurring misalignment/alignment issues from delivery, impairing value and potentially safety. • safety-related camera system failures: persistent error codes on the camera(s) [specify if known, e. G. , front/rear/adas-related], reducing visibility and affecting safe operation (e. G. , backup, navigation, autopilot/fsd if equipped). These are known Tesla issues potentially subject to recall (e. G. , rearview camera display loss). • power windows failure: unresolved for at least 2 weeks despite service request; windows do not operate properly, impairing use and safety (e. G. , emergency egress). Cumulative out-of-service time and failed repair attempts (including the obstructed initial one) meet or approach presumptions under § 1793. 22(b): multiple attempts for the same nonconformities, with safety impacts. The vehicle remains nonconforming despite reasonable opportunity for Tesla to repair. Nonconformities in the above vehicle that qualify it as a “lemon” under California civil code §§ 1793. 2(d) and 1793. 22 (song-beverly consumer warranty act). These defects originated at delivery, were reported within the express warranty period, but Tesla failed to repair them—by deleting my original service complaint, annotating delivery issues without resolution, and cancelling the associated appointment—preventing conformity to warranty. The same issues persist and recur post-warranty expiration, substantially impairing the vehicle’s use, value, and safety.
