    Steering system has malfunctioned and is currently available for inspection, as of February 28, 2024. Upon leaving my home this morning, my wife found that the steering wheel was responding abnormally. The steering wheel was fairly easy to turn from the 12 o clock position until about the 2 o clock position, at which point the steering wheel required a massive amount of force to move any further, almost as if the wheel is stuck. Continuing to turn the wheel past the 2 o clock position, it gets easy to turn again between 3 o clock position until the 5 o clock position, at which point the steering wheel again gets extremely difficult to turn. Same behavior is experienced when making a left turn: Smooth, Tough, Smooth, Tough, Smooth. Being unable to smoothly and predictably steer the vehicle puts myself and other road users at risk of bodily harm and property damage. Vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer or service center. No accident has occurred at this time. Owner will arrange for towing for service. There have been no warnings lamps, no messages, and no prior indications of issues. Problem first appeared February 28, 2024.

    While I was driving , the center glass panel between the two falcon door flew off . There is a recall that was issued for this exact issue and Tesla said they inspected and no further action was taken. I am grateful that no person or person were injured as I was driving 65-70 mph on a highway . Tesla is refusing to pay for the repair and associated damages to the passenger rear roof window that occurred .

    The car front passenger side door open while driving and does not close and the car sting in Babson College campus as my daughter cannot close door, cannot drive and Tesla service does not give repair date before two weeks and no one else knows can repair this part . This is third time in 3 months we are having problem and after spending over 3000$ in less than 3 months with full inspection down by Tesla . The service people are rude and does not care for student safety as well. Such a shame
