2016 TESLA MODEL X Complaints

THE FALCON WING DOORS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DOORS OF THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE REMOTE OR THE DOOR HANDLE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO KIDS OR PETS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEAR THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOME. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT IN THE PARKED MODE IN A CITY STREET AFTER A SHORT 10-MILE TRIP.

CONTROL ARM DISCONNECTED WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. THERE APPEAR TO BE AT LEAST 5 OTHER RELATED COMPLAINTS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALED.

FRONT RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER) WHEEL DISLODGED FROM SUSPENSION ARM.IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS REVERSING FROM A PARKING.

WINDSHIELD CAUSES A DOUBLE VISION ISSUE WITH OBJECTS INCLUDING OTHER VEHICLES AND BARRIERS, AS WELL AS LIGHTS INCLUDING, HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STREET LAMPS, AND ANY OTHER LIGHTING. THIS HAPPENS DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT. CAUSES ISSUES WITH VISION AND CAUSES HEADACHES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/42227508 IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. THE BACK SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN TO BITS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO GO ALL WHOMPY. THE WHEEL ITSELF IS UNDAMAGED BUT THE TIRE HAS BEEN WORN RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL BEFORE THE SUSPENSION FINALLY SNAPPED CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BURST OUTWARDS . THESE SUSPENSIONS ARE RIDICULOUSLY WEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE FROM SLICED EXTRUDED ALUMINUM WHICH HAS ABOUT AS MUCH STRENGTH AS CHEESE. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL CRASH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. VEXED CITIZEN. I AM NOT THE OWNER. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.

I GOT SLIGHTLY INJURED TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE WALL. THE BODY SHOP REFUSES TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO TESLA. WHEN I TRIED TO REPORT THIS TO TESLA I WAS HUNG UP ON 2 TIMES.

WHILE VISITING A FUNERAL HOME IN MELROSE, MA., I NEEDED TO BACK INTO A SPOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE PART IN THE FUNERAL PROCESSION. I PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT I WAS IN AND PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK INTO THE SAME PARKING SPOT. AT THE SAME MOMENT THAT I STARTED TO BACK IN THE CAR SURGED AND MADE AN ARC IN THE PARKING LOT ONLY STOPPING AFTER I HIT A PARKED CAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT CAUSED TWO MORE CARS TO BE HIT BY THE IMPACT. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING ON THE BREAK WHICH HAD NO EFFECT AND EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HURT, MY ARMS ACHED FOR DAYS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO CONTROL THE WHEEL TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD AND WAS IN REVERSE AT THE TIME WHICH MEANT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO BACK IN SLOWLY. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT TESLA CHECK THE THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF I AM OF FAULT OR NOT AND THEY HAVE REFUSED. MY TESLA IS BEING REPAIRED AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A TECHNICAL ERROR . I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE AUTO PILOT SYSTEM THAT COULD BE A FAULT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER USED IT. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW THIS HAPPENED.
