Steering Failed problems of the 2016 Tesla Model S

Here is a discussion thread in which an owner complains that his steering has failed completely: https://teslamotorsclub. Com/tmc/threads/model-s-steering-failed. 109021/ ****snip*** I was driving home tonight (2016 70d)and it sounded like I had a flat tire. Pulled over to check and tires were fine. Started driving again and all traction control and stability control errors came up on the screen and said to call a service center. I have to hold the steering to the left to get the car to go straight. When parked the right front side steering makes a grinding sound and when the steering wheel is straight the right wheel is not. Obviously there has been a mechanical failure of some kind but I'm not sure what it is. I assume I should have the car towed? anyone have a problem like this before? ***snip*** I had my wife turn the wheel in the garage and it was just grinding from the passenger side. Felt more like an issue where the rotor connects to the steering arm. I don't have a handyman bone in my body so I really have no idea *** I am reporting this problem myself even though I am not the owner because Tesla owners rarely submit reports themselves. They are discouraged from doing so by a misguided sense of loyalty to the Tesla brand and "mission". There have been many credible reports of steering and suspension failures with Teslas but very few of theses failures have actually been reported to the authorities. I believe that these failures are being covered up by Tesla and that owners are being discouraged from filing complaints. Please investigate. Concerned citizen.

Here is a thread on the Tesla motors club forum in which several posters provide detailed photographic evidence that the electric steering motor is falling apart due to corrosion. Https://teslamotorsclub. Com/tmc/threads/power-steering-falling-apart. 100951/ the thread starts in October 2017 and is active right up until the present time with owners describing diy repairs that will probably make the situation even more dangerous. This corroded bolts problem is identical to the problem found on Ford and other makes of cars that resulted in a massive recall. Https://Ford. Oemdtc. Com/1684/15s14-steering-gear-motor-bolt-corrosion-2013-2015-Ford-fusion-Lincoln-mkz-2015-Ford-edge-2 why in the world has there not been a recall of these Teslas? if NHTSA is not going to act then perhaps the canadian authorities will.

They would like to hear of all canadian vehicle steering rack failures for their investigation. Please call darryl malone of transport canada at 1-800-333-0510 they are especially interested in examining a failed part even if it is just a sheared bolt. Unfortunately I did not ask for the failed rack when I got mine replaced . ** many Teslas are in use on roads that are salted during the winter. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Please act immediately. Outraged citizen.
