2014 TESLA MODEL S
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND THE STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING ( HITTING UNEVEN ROAD OR SWITCHING LANES). I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. MEANING IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE ROAD, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL. IT WAS AS IF THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT. IN ANOTHER AREA, IT WOULD WORK SOMEWHAT, AND THEN WE WOULD HIT ANOTHER AREA AND IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. WHEN WE INFORMED THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER THEY REPLACED THE SCREEN ( BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MELTING) BUT SAID THE STEERING WAS A TIRE ISSUE. I ASSURE YOU IT WAS NOT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCREEN HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MELTING GOO AND THIS GOOD WAS DROPPING OUT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS GOO HAD DRIPPED IN THE AIRBAGS AND MADE THEM NON-OPERATIONAL. THE ONLY REASON WE WERE TOLD OF THE INOPERATIONAL AIRBAGS IS THAT WE HAD TO PURCHASE NEW ONES. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS DEFECT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANOTHER PERSON/FAMILY, AS IT COULD BE FATAL. FOUR IMAGES ATTACHED:1. SCREEN ABOVE, 2. LEAKAGE BELOW THE STEERING. 3. IMAGE OF TOUCHSCREEN. 4. IMAGE OF TOUCHSCREEN. YOU CAN SEE THE LEAKAGE IN ALL IMAGES.*DT

THE STEERING RACK MOTOR FAILED CAUSING THE STEERING TO BECOME INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT. TURNING THE WHEELS AT NO OR LOW SPEED TAKES GREAT FORCE AND TURNING THE WHEEL AT FASTER SPEEDS TAKES MODERATE FORCE. THE MOTOR DIED MID TRIP, CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THE MOTOR WORKED PERFECTLY FINE WHILE DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION AND FAILED, THANKFULLY, WHILE I WAS STOPPED.

HERE IS A TESLA FOR SALE AT A SALVAGE AUCTION. HTTP://WWW.COPART.COM/US/LOT/30119166?SEARCHID=695877385 THE AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT BEEN DEPLOYED AND THERE IS ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT RH SIDE. THE CAR SHOWS SIGNS OF COLLAPSED SUSPENSION. THE TWO REAR WHEELS ARE SKEWED SIDEWAYS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. ALL WHEELS ARE JAMMED HIGH UP IN THE WHEEL WELLS. THIS WOULD TEND TO MAKE THAT CAR RATHER DIFFICULT TO STEER. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILING AND THAT SINCE THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE LIMIT STOPS ON THE SUSPENSION IT CAN LEAD TO DIRE CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM.

SOME TESLA OWNERS ARE ALLEGING THAT THERE ARE TESLA SERVICE BULLETINS FOR MODIFICATIONS ON TESLA'S THAT ARE BEING KEPT SECRET. IE: SOME TESLA OWNERS ARE REPORTING OCCASIONAL POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. MANY TESLA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT BRAKE DISCS AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS EASILY BECOME WET, THEN RUST. RUSTED ROTORS CAN CAUSE GRABBING, AND UNEVEN BRAKING (SWERVING ON BRAKE APPLICATION). ALLEGEDLY SOMETIMES RUSTED PARKING BRAKES WON'T DISENGAGE. IT SEEMS SOMETIMES BRAKE PARTS BECOME RUSTED, STICKY AND UNRELIABLE. WHEN THE BRAKE PADS BECOME WET, THERE IS POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE WITH LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. THERE ARE SOME TESLA OWNERS REPORTING THAT THERE ARE TESLA SERVICE BULLETINS TO PREVENT POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE, BY ADDING DUST (SPLASH) GUARDS, REPLACING ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS; YET DOING INTERNET SEARCHES I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY TESLA MODEL S. SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE BRAKES. TESLA SEEMS TO BE KEEPING SAFETY PROBLEMS LIKE POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND THE RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS SECRET. ALLEGEDLY SOME TESLAS HAVE BEEN SOLD WITHOUT BRAKES DUST SHIELDS (SPLASH SHIELDS) THUS MAKING THEM MORE VULNERABLE TO WATER. TESLA'S REGEN BRAKING CAN BE SO EFFICIENT, THAT IT SEEMS SOME CUSTOMER'S FRICTION BRAKES ARE NOT BEING USED ENOUGH TO SQUEEGEE AWAY THE WATER OR GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT TO DRY OUT THE BRAKES. SHOULDN'T SERVICE BULLETINS, ESPECIALLY ONES REGARDING SAFETY BE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC? AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURES LIKE TESLA ARE DROPPING THE BALL. *TR
