In June of 2020, the entire power/electronic system in my 2016 Model X failed (at 73k miles), leaving the car undrivable (and even unable to be put into neutral for towing). I had it dragged onto a truck and taken to a Tesla service center, where they diagnosed a failed mcu. The failure, I was told, in rare cases caused a failure across the entire system. They replaced the mcu and charged me $1400. Tesla has supposedly offered a refund on the repair to customers who had the part fail (while refusing to acknowledge the safety issues associated with failure), but has not included my VIN in their database of impacted vehicles. The company is not acknowledging my car was one of the vehicles in the recall, but the failure clearly happened. How can I hold them accountable for that? is there any way the NHTSA can help?.
The mcu is dead. Car cannot be operated safely. No side blinkers, no horn, no ac. At this point my car cannot even turn on and cannot be driven. Contacted Tesla, but it is not a safety issue and they sent me home as parts were out of stock. It is not safe to drive as blinkers don't work.
