Two problems related to car will not start have been reported for the 2016 Tesla Model S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On 11/25/2020, at approximately 12:00pm, while in line for the drive through car wash of a mobil gas station (los serranos country club dr), my vehicle, a white 2016 Tesla Model S, partially turned off. I could no longer steer the car nor could I restart the vehicle. The screens were completely black. I exited the vehicle and had to wait several minutes before I was able to get my vehicle restarted. This is not the first time something like this happened (though I cannot remember the exact dates of the previous incidents), where the vehicle would not start after stopping and I would not be able to steer the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2016 Tesla Model S. The contact stated while vehicle was at a stand still, the vehicle failed to start-up due to the media control unit being inoperable. The failure caused the vehicle charging to be slow. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal operations after 5 minutes. The vehicle was taken to Tesla located at 5544 okeechobee blvd, west palm beach, FL 33417, where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the media control unit needed to be replaced. The failure recurred. An email was sent to the manufacturer however, there was no response. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
