Wiper problems of the 2017 Tesla Model X

The rear camera freezes when backing up the car. The issue is noted in the latest model years but this issues applies to this model year as well. Please issue a safety recall. Thank you.

The rear camera failed as I tried to reverse into a parking spot. The whole system froze up and took over 20+ second to finally load happened twice in one day.

Beginning in a recent software update, the windshield wipers in (at least early model) Tesla model s and x cars with fsd beta no longer function in intermittent mode. Only the faster wiper speeds are functional. This regression results in unacceptable levels of driver distraction manually triggering the wipers with the button, and should have been fixed weeks ago. We're requesting a formal recall. It really isn't acceptable for their testing processes to be so flawed that something this serious could make it into released builds, beta or not. As a software engineer by trade, I find Tesla's testing to be nothing short of incompetent, even by ios app standards, much less car standards, and they should really be fined every time they screw up this badly.

Tesla’s entire car function (rear view camera, windshield heating, rear defrost) is supported by the center screen system. In gen1 Model X it uses a gen 1 computer. Over the last 4 months. The screen blanks out while driving. I can’t access car functions. This happens while driving so it’s super dangerous. Only way to resolve the issue is to press a few more ui buttons on the screen. This impairs all car functions. I’ve submitted this a couple times to Tesla now and they say that this is a software issue they have not been able to resolve and they’re asking me to pay $2000 to get their next generation center console. I’ve mentioned that this is a safety risk as this can happen while driving, which makes me take my eyes off the road to fix the problem on the center console. They don’t seem to care about it. This is happened to multiple drivers according to the technician I spoke to, and they have not solved the issue. I recorded my last service with Tesla, and I have proof of them speaking of this issue.

Headlights will not work. Due to the vehicle not having a method of turning on headlights without access to a properly working media control unit which happens to be of all touch screen functionality a blackout of the screen will cause the driver to have no other access to the headlights or other vital safety features. This issue has been ongoing with Tesla for a long period of time and it continuously put the occupants of the vehicle at risk for injury both severe or fatal. Repeatedly addressed this malfunction of the vehicle with the repair facility and it has failed to be corrected or repaired.

This issue most likely plagued our Model X during it's original factory warranty based on the class action, nthsa inquiry, and nthsa and Tesla recall for the same issue which affects Model X buil between 2016 and 201. These are the things we have personally experienced 12 times over our short ownership, 6 times these nearly caused accidents - this catastrophic malfunction has occurred (on average) once every 500 miles during our ownership: primary driving instrument and safety info screen (small screen/driver dash screen) and larger infotainment screen both: freeze, “lock up” or “go blank” turn black (an issue known by some drivers as “the black screen of death”) fail to turn on repeatedly reboot display a “touchscreen unresponsive” message stop working completely otherwise malfunction these issues generally occurred at the worst possible times, most likely when the deficiently designed computer was over taxed (night, weather, traffic, cold - though it also occurred twice under basic conditions). Each time, it was absolutely disorienting and results in a hazard for driver, occupants, and people/property around the malfunctioning vehicle. . Read more...

During hard rainfall the software of the vehicle issues an error: the windshield wipers, headlights, taillights and turn signal all stop working. Lane assist and parking assist fail as well. Sometimes the vehicle shifts into park when you stop. After stopping the vehicle, the doors won't open so you cannot exit the car. It does not matter if the car is moving or stationary when the software fails. You have to reboot the car and hope it resolves, usually it doesn't, or most often just wait to time the software glitch for the moment when the functions are temporarily enabled, specifically when trying to exit the car. We have taken this vehicle to Tesla for this issue multiple times and they have not solved it. This vehicle is a safety hazard, and a legal issue since the headlights and taillights go out, leaving you to drive without them in the dark.

Tesla touchscreen functions become missing, screen goes blank, no rearview camera and the ability to turn on and off defroster settings and headlights become missing.

1. Car taking longer to boot up when placing foot on brake pedal. 2. Large center console screen takes even longer to boot-up. This resulted in a dangerous situation where I was able to drive the car, but could not turn on the defroster. The windshield quickly fogged up and I had nearly zero visibility. Thankfully, I was able to safely pull off the road and wait for the center console to eventually turn on,.

The mcu (media control unit) also known as the infotainment center went out on my 2017 Tesla Model X. When this unit went out, I lost the ability to use the turn signals, the back up camera, most of the controls to change settings for the car and the car was no longer able to accept a charge. The car was in the driveway at home when this happened and I tried to schedule an appointment with Tesla to get this resolved. They told me that the part was on back order and that they could not take the car in at the time. It would be about a month before they were able to get the part and that I could still drive the car. They also asked me to keep the car charged but I also let them know that the car is unable to do so at home. He asked me to take it to Tesla supercharging station and try there. I let them know that my turn signals were no longer working and the technician told me that hand signals were still an acceptable form of vehicle direction/movement indication. Well, I took it to the supercharging station with the turn signals and rear camera not working and the car would not charge so I had to take it home again driving without turn signals on the freeway. I finally convinced them the car was not safe to drive and that the car would lose all its battery reserve before I they were able to take my appointment so the technician asked me to drive it into the san francisco Tesla service center.

The computer screen went dead can't turn on heat or ac, open side mirror or charge the car.
