Engine And Engine Cooling problem #1

When autopilot is engaged, the car randomly decelerates on the highway. This has happened multiple times. I have tried to report this to Tesla but to no avail. They tell me the following: 1. They are unaware of any issue 2. Then, it is my specific car's problem and not a design issue and they will not fix it without charging me over a $1100 3. When I asked them what the issue is, they said they don't know and want me to provide to the minute detail on when the incident happened. 4. That I should stop using autopilot (which I paid for) because it may be unsafe for me to use. When I point out that their statements are conflicting with each other, they ignore me. I have tweeted about this to elon musk as well to NHTSA and I am hoping that someone will notice this and help me get this fixed.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #2

Pulling in to slowly park and sudden unanticipated acceleration-pushed car into brick roof support of building. Damage to bumper.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #3

Our SUV lost power in the middle of the highway with no warning. After a month of back and forth, Tesla is saying that the high voltage battery needs to be replaced. The car has been with Tesla marietta, GA center waiting for the replacement part with no eta. How long are we supposed to allow the manufacturer to address the problem per the manufacturer warranty.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #4

Car shudders at the acceleration. Service center said it’s a widely known issue with front half shaft and clevis mount. Tesla already admits it is a design fault but wouldn’t cover it under the drive unit warranty. Can NHTSA make it a recall? thanks.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #5

I was driving home in my Model X on lawrence expressway (8-lane expressway) in santa clara, CA and stopped at the red light. When the light turned green, I pushed on the gas and noticed that the car did not move and put itself into park. I could not put the car into gear. The main screen flashed several warnings that included: park assist unavailable automatic emergency braking disabled. Car needs service traction control disabled. Stability control disabled. I put on the blinkers, called Tesla roadside and they asked that I restart the vehicle by holding the 2 control buttons on the steering wheel, however by doing so, would stop the blinkers from blinking. I felt that would've been unsafe because I was in lane 2 heading southbound on an 8-lane expressway, and cars were coming from behind me pretty fast. Roadside asked that I call 911, which I did, and they then sent a tow truck to get me out of my situation. Video of what happened located here https://youtu. Be/9i9sghtmd7c.
