2019 TESLA MODEL X Complaints

At highway speeds, using autopilot, my car will suddenly and powerfully brake to a full stop unless I intervene. If this happens with traffic behind me, they must brake hard to avoid hitting me. Also the forward collision warning activates when there is no reason. I have many video recordings, of my dash, the events and the road, while this is happening. How do I send video to you?

The contact owns a 2019 Tesla Model X. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph in the carpool lane, the brake pedal was applied however the vehicle failed to stop and crashed into an unknown vehicle. The contact mentioned the brake alert feature failed to engage. There were no police reports filed, injuries, fire or air bag deployment. The contact called the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

My car at a complete stop at a red light and sudden the car accelerated so fast forward ( unintentioned accelerated ) and rear ended the car in front. Need to take a look into car electrical and software issue

The MCU (Media Control Unit) and the driver's dash goes out while driving under normal driving conditions. When the MCU and Dash goes dark/dies, the turn signals don't work, the rear view camera goes out, the blind spot warning and lane departure warning is disabled and the speedometer doesn't display. Basically I was driving in the dark. It was a very dangerous situation. Fortunately I was driving and not my wife who is the primary driver. This is no longer a technical safety concern but rather a safety issue for us and for others. I brought it in for service 2 times and the outcome was: we're aware of the bug and working on an over the air fix but no ETA. This is not an isolated issue since it occurred many times captured below: Jun 22 - 8:33 PM PST Jun 30 - 8:32 AM PST Jul 2 - 12:32 PM PST Jul 8 - 5:58 PM PST Jul 13 - 8:09 AM PST Jul 16 - 6:46 PM PST This is similar to the situation that occurred in the collapse of the condo in Florida. In that case: 1. They were aware of the issue 2. They knew they had to fix it 3. But they didn't take responsibility nor accountability. They should have evacuated the building instead of killing 100+ innocent lives. In our case: 1. Tesla knows there's an issue 2. Tesla knows it needs to be fix 3. Tesla refuses to take immediate action until something drastic occurs.The car is practically brand new with only 5K miles on it. I have videos to capture this frightening ordeal.

ON 5/2/21, I PURCHASED A USED 2019 MODEL X FROM AN AUDI DEALER IN FLORIDA. I AM A US CITIZEN WITH A LEGAL DRIVERS LICENSE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ON 5/2/21, I SUBMITTED AN OWNERSHIP TRANSFER REQUEST VIA THE TESLA WEBSITE, I INCLUDED ALL THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS TO VERIFY OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING MY FL DRIVERS LICENSE, REGISTRATION, PICTURE OF THE ODOMETER, AND I EVEN ADDED SOME PHOTOS OF THE CAR ITSELF. ON 5/9/21, I WAS FORCIBLY LOCKED OUT OF MY VEHICLE BY TESLA MOTORS WHILE I WAS PARKED FAR AWAY FROM MY HOME. ON 5/9/21, I CALLED TESLA ROADSIDE FOR HELP, EXPLAINED I HAD A ONE YEAR OLD BABY IN ARMS, WAS STANDING UNDER THE SUN, COULD NOT REACH INTO MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT VERIFY OWNERSHIP. I EXPLAINED I HAD TO ACCESS MY VEHICLE, I HAD BOTH KEYS WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO VERIFY ANYTHING THEY NEEDED, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT VERIFY OWNERSHIP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SECURITY MATTER AND THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY OWNERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS NOW LOCKED AND NOT ACCESSIBLE, EVEN THOUGH I LEGALLY OWNED IT AND HAD BOTH KEYS IN HAND. ON 5/9/21, I SPENT 6 HOURS AND SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING GET A TOW TO MY HOME, AND TRYING TO GET INSIDE OF IT TO GRAB MY BELONGINGS. I FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AT THAT LOCATION, I'M UNABLE TO ACCESS MY VEHICLE, THAT I PAID FOR, THAT I LEGALLY OWN, BECAUSE "TESLA MOTORS" CANNOT VERIFY OWNERSHIP.

HISTORICALLY (MAY 2019 - DEC. 2020), THE SCREENS (SHOWING SPEED, AUTOPILOT STATUS, AND OTHER INFORMATION) WOULD SOMETIMES GO BLANK. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM IN MY 1ST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP (IN MAY 2019) AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER. TESLA REMOTELY SENT A FIX FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I THEN LEARNED FROM THE MEDIA (NOT TESLA OR THE NHTSA) THAT NHTSA HAD MANDATED A FIX ON 2016-2018 MODEL X'S BECAUSE OF SCREEN FAILURES. I ASKED TESLA TO FIX MY 2019 (NOTING THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS WHAT HAD REQ'D. THE NHTSA MANDATE, AND TESLA DID FIX IT (OR SAID THEY DID) A FEW MONTHS AGO. BUT ON APRIL 13, 2021, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND FAR WORSE. ON THAT DAY AND WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO UPSTATE NY BY HIGHWAY, THE SCREEN DID NOT SIMPLY GO BLANK (AT LEAST NOT INITIALLY ... IT DID EVENTUALLY) BUT FIRST "FROZE" FOR OVER A MINUTE WHILE FALSELY STATING THAT I WAS STILL IN AUTOPILOT (HANDS OFF PEDALS AND STEERING WHEEL) GOING ROUGHLY 70MPH ON A HIGHWAY. AGAIN, DURING THE FREEZE, THE SCREEN (FROZEN) FALSELY SAID I WAS STILL IN AUTOPILOT (WHEN, IN FACT, AUTOPILOT HAD DISENGAGED). I ALERTED TESLA TO THE PROBLEM APRIL 14 AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN APRIL 15 FIX. TESLA ADDRESSED IT, BUT I CAN HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FIX (1) GIVEN THE HISTORY; AND EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE (2) TESLA'S INVOICE FALSELY DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AS SIMPLY A "BLANK SCREEN" (WHICH IS NOT NEARLY AS DANGEROUS, BC THE DRIVER IS AT LEAST ALERTED TO THE PROBLEM), AND SAID SIMPLY THAT ITS "ENGINEERING TEAM IS AWARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON A RELIABLE SOLUTION. ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED IN ONE OF FUTURE FIRMWARE REVISIONS." THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE.

THE CAR'S ELECTRONICS FAIL WHILE DRIVING . THE MAIN MONITOR SHUTS OFF WHILE THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD. IT SHUTS OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN COMES BACK ON. EXTREMELY SCARY AS EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR IS CONTROLLED ON THE LARGE SCREEN AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF , YOU CANNOT MODIFY , CONTROL OR CHANGE ANYTHING . HAPPENS ATLEAST ONCE A WEEK IF NOT MORE . TESLA TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT CANNOT FIX IT SAYING THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MODEL X.

HERE IS A MANGLED AND PARTIALLY BURNED MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://EREPAIRABLES.COM/SALVAGE-CARS-AUCTION/TESLA/MODEL+X/VID-46135539 THE BACK WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF AND IS STASHED IN THE FRUNK. ALL THE SUSPENSION LINKS ON THE BACK ARE STRETCHED AND SNAPPED, BUT THE WHEEL IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE STRETCHED LINKS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE CRASH. THE REAR OF THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IDIOTIC TO USE EXTRUDED ALUMINUM FOR CRITICAL SUSPENSION LINKS, THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE WEIGHT AND POWER OF THE CAR. THE DANGER ONLY INCREASES AS THE CARS GETS OLDER NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALSO BECAUSE CHEAPER SECONDHAND TESLAS ARE AFFORDABLE FOR YOUNG INEXPERIENCED AND OFTEN RECKLESS YOUNGER OWNERS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THAN YOU. KEEF
