| Seats problems |
The second row bench seats won't recline back to rest position. A safety hazard. It's been a common accuracy. Please help. They will not put out a recall. Look it up online. It's a big problem and Tesla is not doing nothing, but trying charge you $3000 to replace the whole 2nd row bench! wow.
The second row car seat is moving freely and not locking to the base. It had my child car seat installed. The Tesla service team told the only fix is to replace the whole seat. The design does not have any backup latch to lock the seat. It’s a serious safety concern since the seat could just move out of lock while driving esp when a car seat is installed. I read this has happened to multiple cars online.
I took my 3 year old son to the Tesla showroom in fashion island newport beach CA. My son sat in the 3rd row trying it out, then he tried to exit from the side. Then he accidentally pressed on the button on the second row seat. The seat moved back smashing his head against the side of the door. His whole head and neck and shoulder was stuck inbetween the seat and the side of the door for over a minute, until we were able to pull him out of there. He got bruises on the cheek, and left ear was bright red from the impact.
