Warnings problems of the 2016 Tesla Model S

The infotainment unit in the car that controls functionality, I. E. Navigation used to monitor battery availability is malfunctioning because of glue seeping from the unit and causing the screen to go black intermittently while driving creating a safety hazard for the driver and others due to a distraction. When this happens the driver loses visibility to navigation and other controls central to the vehicle functionality. Tesla is aware of this manufacturing defect that is a safety concern because it requires the driver to not focus on the road.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to file a complaint regarding a sua incident that occurred on October 20, 2023, involving my 2016 Tesla Model S. On the day of the incident, I pulled into my garage and began to park my car. When I pressed the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated forward, crashing into the garage wall and totaling the vehicle. The garage wall was severely damaged and will need to be rebuilt. This is not the first time that my Tesla has experienced sua. In 2017, I filed a complaint with NHTSA regarding a similar incident. In my previous complaint (issue # 11000097 dated June 19, 2017), I described a similar incident that occurred in December 2016. At the time, Tesla denied that the incident was caused by sua and no further action was taken. I am convinced that the sua incident on October 25, 2023, was caused by a defect in my Tesla Model S. I am also concerned that other Tesla owners may be at risk of similar incidents. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to protect consumers. I believe that Tesla should be held liable for the damages to my vehicle and my garage wall, and that the company should be required to recall all Tesla Model S vehicles that are at risk of sua. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,.

The mcu (master control unit) is the 17" touch screen display that controls most of the functions of the vehicle. Vehicle has been plagued over it's live with freeze up's and reboots. April 2019, screen locked up and would not restart, which caused vehicle to loose propultion, power assisted brakes, power steering, window controls (had to use emergency manual release to exit vehicle, then go back in and squeeze between the seats to get my disabled son out of the back as the back door handles did not operate either and had to try and find the well hidden manual release hidden under the carpet with no markings to get the rear door open and him out of his car seat). Vehicle also would not go in to park, I had to use my shoes (with steel toe) under the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling down an incline. This also prevented the hood from being opened to potentially pull the power to the vehicle to force a reset as the reset buttons did not work. Also trunk would not open and had to climb through the inside to get to the manual release for the trunk to get diapers for my disabled son while we waited 4 hours for a tow. Once doors were shut, no way to get back in. Head lights also would not turn off. Had it towed to Tesla service of highland park, illinois from milwaukee county, wisconsin. They said the headlights stayed on all night, and that the car "fixed" itself the overnight some how. No additional information would be provided. That was the worst failure, however, it still locks up and reboots at random times as it's in use. Either while driving (when that happens I loose turn signals and other safety features as well as ability to control vehicle settings) or while parked preventing it from being driven.
