Air Bag Problems of Tesla Model S - part 2

Stability control disabled, steering assist disabled, airbags disabled, brake system altered for weeks before service request. In addition, steering wheel moved uncontrollably while parked, with car off, and no one in it for over eight hours. Finally, entire system locked after a factory reset. Locking the doors, preventing entry, and showing the transmission in neutral. Tesla’s service model is inhuman, meaning they don’t allow conversation with a human, but instead require scheduling service through their phone app. The app recorded these issues and were attached to the service request. Tesla’s service center claims they resolved the issue by adding wiper fluid and checking the tire pressure. After two weeks, they cannot find anything in the car logs, after previously stating the car logs every aspect of operation.

The media control unit (mcu) in my 2013 Tesla Model S stopped working when I rebooted the car while stationary (commonly needed to restore lost functionality), apparently due to a failure of the embedded multi-media card (emmc) memory. As part of this failure, the turn signals did not work when I later went to drive the car, the passenger airbag defaulted to 'off' (pic attached), and the hvac system (including the windshield defroster) defaulted to an unknown setting and could not be controlled (neither by the dead mcu nor the smartphone application), though the car was otherwise still driveable. Apparently, the oem emmc had limited re-write capability and a relatively high re-write frequency; when it failed, it not only created driving safety hazards, but also cost more than $1,000 to repair what was probably an inexpensive part (under $10) for the oem.

Have an issue with the central touch screen panel going blank. The embedded multi-media-card memory (emmc) in the mcu ins likely the issue. This is causing the central touch screen panel (that controls air bags, navigation, music, heating etc. . ). This screen has been causing a problem for many months. We got a 'temporary fix' by a reset that cost 100s of dollars - but it went blank again. This is a design flaw that has nothing to do with how we drive the car - it has got fixed in the 2018 and later Model S models - but it looks like it is a systematic issue in many cars prior to that.

There are challenges with the mcu1 and its integration with fsd hardware #3. This manifests as freezes on the central and drivers displays until the cars mcu does a full restart(speedometer is not affected). This restart can take as little as 5min or can stay off for the drive until manually force reboot initiated. During the freeze I experience loss of passenger airbag(warning comes on, I cant tell if other airbags are affected). The climate control system turns off no a/c or heat is available. Sometimes auto pilot is affected, so I would assume emergency braking is affected because its the same system as auto pilot. The odometer is does not record miles if this happens while driving. No back up camera is available. These issues have increased since I had the hw3 upgrade here is a website that talks about this issue https://Tesla-info. Com/blog/Tesla-mcu1-emmc-failure.

Tesla have the vehicle for quite a while but they haven't given a reason why they haven't completed the recall.

Received a safety recall letter and Tesla has been unresponsive to correct safety recall code: 19v-002.

Tesla is offering this VIN for sale on its website, but is in non-compliance with 573. 15 (b) 2 as there is no hyperlink on the manufacturer's main united states website. In order to access VIN recall lookups, the user must click 4 levels deep (main -> privacy and legal -> recall -> click here to check if your car is affected by a recall).

My tersla experienced a sudden acceleration event on July 31, 2019. It was being parked in a target parking lot about to be put in park when it suddenly experienced a full acceleration. It jumped over a 6 to 8 foot wide concrete meridian, took out a bush and hit a parked pick-up, moving it about 15 feet and totaling the truck. The car had almost $40,000 in damage and the driver was injured. Telsa first said they would have their read out in one week then 3, then 4 - finally after about 4 months they said it was driver error but the driver denies touching the gas or brake. She was already stopped and it happened so fast she didn't have time to react.

Tesla will not respond to request to repair recalls the number provided goes in circles it ask to go through app we are a dealer and car do not have app I have made several request.

Takata recall 3 years in to this recall, I have received at least 3 notifications of this issue from Tesla. I have repeatedly requested service to address the recall and have been told "there are no parts" and "it's not your car's turn in line yet.

My vehicle has had a problem with the mulitmediacard (emmc) for years. I have all the documentation from previous reports. I was notified finally by Tesla that a recall is underway, but they have not scheduled the repair, and when I enter my VIN number on Tesla's VIN recall search, I get this message error looking up VIN. Error code 91". There is no way to call Tesla, as they require people to schedule in the app. But there is no way to schedule this service in the app at this time. My car spontaneously blacks out while I am driving and several of the intended functions do not work 100% of the time. I am becoming concerned about driving this car at all. Can you please help?.

Takata recall - I was not notified in a timely manner. Provisions were not made to fix my airbags for many months. I had to call customer service repeatedly and appointments keep getting pushed. This defect has existed in my car for over 3 years now, putting my family at great risk.

Takata recall thank you for taking the time to review this complaint. I am sending it due to two main reasons: 1 - this is the second recall I've received for the same car; 2 - I am having safety issues with my Tesla since November 2018. After several e-mails and visiting a center in person, my issue remains unresolved and I am rarely getting any responses. The last time Tesla got back to me was in February. ----- core problem: I am having recurring issues with the electrical systems of the car, and they remain after taking it to a service center. The automatic emergency brakes for the car did not work when we had an accident, even though the warning went off. I've checked and the option was turned on. The main issue is that I've been paying for a car/feature that does not work as intended, putting my family's safety at risk. More importantly, I am receiving zero support from Tesla. Thanks for the help, and please reach out if you need any additional context.

A malfunction caused the sudden deployment of the airbags and subsequent unintentional unexpected acceleration causing the vehicle to jump a cement block and violently smash into a pole while I was slowly pulling into a parking stall at a grocery store.

On Aug 13, 2018 I went to the Tesla service center in seattle and requested an appointment to have several recalls done, including seatbelts, takata airbags, and aluminum steering bolts. I was told in no uncertain terms by service manager kasi smith, that my car is blacklisted by Tesla since it has a rebuilt title. That in order for the recalls to be done I must get the car "recertified" at a cost of between $5,000 to $32,000, depending on whether repairs are needed. So I called Tesla's national customer service line (877. 798. 3752) and reached louis escobar at Tesla's burbank, CA location. After he checked with the seattle service center (which I'd already told him refused me) and with his supervisor, hunter carlson, mr. Escobar informed me that my car is blacklisted by Tesla since it has a rebuilt title, and in order for the recalls to be done I must get the car "recertified". My car was professionally rebuilt, and has been registered with the state of washington and I've been driving it for two years. If we can all agree that wrecked cars are -going- to be rebuilt, then what should Tesla's policy be? I should think they'd want to protect their reputation and ensure the safety of their customers. So for recert do they charge high fees and take away all benefits that were paid for on purchase of the car, like navigation, autopilot, and supercharging? well the cost alone forces those of us with rebuilt cars to drive around with no inspections, except those done by the state patrol, which are only checking that we did not use stolen parts. So clearly their goal is not to protect their reputation and ensure the safety of their customers. What is the goal then? make money?.

While pulling into a parking spot at a busy shopping center, and applying the brake pedal (having moved it over from accelerator) to stop the car at about 5 mph, the Model S suddenly lurched forward at full acceleration hitting not 1 but 2 parked cars. Nothing would stop the car as it took over and went forward with both my feet pressing the brake pedal as hard as I could. Finally it stopped after hitting a second parked car. Tesla has not responded, despite 2 days of emails and calls.

Dear sir, I bought a Tesla car from USA auction and imported it from USA to my home country jordan. I contacted Tesla USA to change the ownership of the car to my account and it is done. I'm driving my car for +2 years now. Tesla USA sent me an email and mail letter stating that my car has recalls. When I visited Tesla jordan to repair the recall; they refused to repair the recalls; claiming that my car is not supported due to old accident history (while the car was in USA);;; even though the accident history is repaired by Tesla USA. Now, I'm under the risk of the airbag and steering faulty, which might danger me and my family; god forbid. Regards,.

At our driveway on sun. 1/14/18, coming back from shopping a few minutes before four pm, suddenly the car took off by itself. It accelerated tremendously with the speed which was felt around 65-80 m/hr, hitting our heavy garage door, which was closed at the time, went through the garage, hit my parked Porsche and pushed it to the left to the water heater. It then hit and broke the wall between our garage and courtyard, broke and pushed our concrete planter and stopped halfway between the garage and our family room windows in the courtyard. I firmly believe that this was the result of unintended acceleration. This is our new and second Tesla my wife and I owned and drove. When my wife talked to local Tesla representative, he refused to give us any computer generated report. The car still on the wall between garage and courtyard. We understand, Tesla has a black box that we do not know where it will end up if we take it to Tesla certified body shop. We appreciate it very much if you advise us what to do.
