Tesla, Inc.
Safety Issue:
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation. The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Full Self driving did not show signs of slowing down at Everett traffic slow down from about 60 miles to a standstill. I realized the speed not slowing down (about 5 car distance from stopped distance) I tried to apply the brakes that were completely nonresponsive, instead the car sped up. I avoided backend collision with the first car be maneuvering to the shoulder, however the next car was parked halfway into the shoulder that didn't leave enough room to not hit it. The car hit two other cars before coming to a full stop. While checking for any injuries for myself and passenger, after a delay and hitting 3 cars the airbags uselessly deployed. Total failure of brakes, auto emergency braking and airbag deployment. I have requested Tesla to look into the logs but havent gotten any feedback.

I received a recall letter stating my vehicle's software needs to be updated. I checked my vehicle and the letter is correct; my software is out of date. However, when I tried to update my software the vehicle tells me that I have the most up to date software. I tried to make a service appointment three times to have the software updated. However, every time I tried to schedule an appointment, the Tesla app tells me that my vehicle has the most up to date software and "service is not required." The app will not let me make an appointment to update the software.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I received a recall notice (NHTSA recall no: 23V-838) early February 2024 about a recall related to Autosteer, increasing the risk for collision. The remedy specified was that I will be receiving an OTA firmware update and it should be remedied as long as the vehicle is running 2023.44.30 software version or later (free of charge). But until today, I have not received this update and my vehicle (as of 4/27/2024) is running 2022.8.10.20 . The reason the Tesla service center is giving me is that this is because my vehicle is on MCU1 (infotainment version) and I might need to pay around ~$2000 to upgrade the hardware to MCU2 to get the new software version. I have concerns that even though the letter says I will start receiving updates in Dec 2023, I havent received it yet and is risky.

My car has 55k miles on it and the power steering has failed. Last October, I brought it in to the service center and they wanted $4000 to replace my steering rack. At the time, the car only had about 50k miles on it. It seems like these parts are failing much faster on the Teslas then previous cars that I've owned.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
1x while driving, the steering wheel locked up. Luckily this was only for about 1 second, and I was only traveling on a 25 mph road. If this was on a highway, it could have been deadly. 2x the car steering wheel would not move when shifting out of park. It required a tremendous amount of force to turn the wheel even slightly. The car needed to be reset multiple times in order to free up the wheel. This last time, I cannot get the wheel unstuck.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Tesla has failed to provide the software updates to fix the recalls on my and ALL other MCU1 cars that have FSD paid for. This is because Tesla has not delivered sent FSD to these cars, and hopes owners will pay $2,000 to upgrade to MCU2. Tesla has LIED that all cars with FSD paid for will be upgraded to the required hardware necessary to use FSD. This has now became a safety issue as recalls are not being addressed!! Tesla States vehicles should be running software version 2023.44.30 or later... We are stuck at 2022.8.10!
