Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Tesla Model 3

Correction: retrofit sbr in OCS equipped front passenger seat - remove and replace. First row - seat belt reminder sensor box clip (1130363-00-b), first row occupancy sensor(1099592-00-f) first row seat harness assembly - right hand (1489060- 03-g). This car has 69k miles and I'm informed this is out of warranty and has a cost of $696. 75 to repair on a car that is less than 4 years old. Saying the sensor failed is not accurate as the error does not exist unless there is someone in the passenger seat which tells me the sensor is working somewhat. Tesla will not inform me of what will and will not work in the event of a collision but that these items need to be replaced to ensure safety of occupant's. I am skeptical since safety is your number one concern and should be the concern of every auto manufacturer. Unless damage by the owner specifically, how and why is this not covered for the life of the vehicle?.

Concern: I see the error message on my screen like restraint system fault require service. When I contacted Tesla for sevice repair I got an estimate which includes following fixes for a charge of 1,804. 02. They are not covering for this saying the car is out of warranty. Seems like Tesla is aware of this issue and impacting many other Tesla's for 1) first row seat harness assembly - right hand(1489060- 03-g) 2) first row - seat belt reminder sensor box clip(1130363-00-b) 3)correction: replace front passenger airbag and update vehicle configuration - remove and replace.

I received a message on the screen saying there was a problem with the OCS and that it needed to be serviced immediately. I take it to Tesla service and they tell me they will need to do the following: 1. Replace module - OCS filter 2. Retrofit sbr in OCS equipped front passenger seat - remove and replace 3. Replace first row seat harness 4. Replace first row - seat belt reminder sensor box clip 5. Replace first rowoccupancy sensor 6. Replace first rowharness assembly -occupantclassification system - righthand 7. Replace front passengerairbag and update vehicleconfiguration - remove and replace to have all of this done, I paid $1,850. Nothing is covered under warranty. I have 64,000 miles on my car. It has never been in a wreck and I have taken good care of it. From what I understand, this is a common problem with Tesla’s.

We recently got into an sua with our current Tesla 3. I was turning into my drive way and I came to a complete stop. While I was waiting for the gate to open and when I braked, the car suddenly sped up very fast and I stepped on the brake again but the car did not stop. The car was also in hold mode when I later checked I never stepped down on the accelerator hard enough to reach the speed of running through 2 cemented metal gates. The airbags didn't pop out and Tesla's sensor break system also did not activate. I also believe that there was an issue with the computer system of my car a short while after I purchased my car (April 18, 2018). I was driving back home when the display screen was stuck on the park mode for the whole entire drive back. I couldn't turn on my signals, or see my mph. Even after I got home, it wouldn't turn off even after trying for 2 hours so I had to call roadside assistance and she told me a way to reset the car. ( I have videos to prove this. ) there have also been incidents when I am braked and waiting at a red light. I obviously pressed accel when the light turned green, but the car went into park mode and I would get startled and quickly manually turn it into drive mode. This has happened approximately 4-5 times in the past year and even recently in 2021.

On April 24 19 morning [xxx](my wife) drove up multilevel parking lot at work 8100 jones branch drive, she initially chose a head in parking spot, then attempted to move the car forward to the next aisle, so the car would be facing front when she got out. The car picked up uncontrollable and extremely high speed and she felt out of control and could not move foot from accelerator to brake in the split second, all she could do was to steer slightly to hit a pole at that next spot, and avoid going across drive lane and over the barricade to a drop. The car suffered severe front damage and airbags opened, she had minor bruise. Repair estimates caused insurance company to call it a total loss. 1. Tesla claims to be reviewing electronic data but has not released conclusions so far. 2. Why such high speed was picked up when all she wanted to do was crawl over to the next spot directly ahead (about 20 feet) from the previous spot. 3. Why various electronic system, front collision warning, front collision avoidance, video sensors about obstructions, avoidance based acceleration control etc, failed to apply any speed reductions. Photos of event, estimate from insurance are enclosed. I request your kind attention, and your analysis as to the safety failures.
