Description of the problem | Since my wife and i took delivery of our new model y, we have had multiple issues which have required servicing. These issues range from wires hanging from underneath the vehicle to window alignments to our turn signal note working and many other issues. Lately the issues have become a hazard to the occupants of the tesla and to the public. This very serious hazard has to do with the vehicles control display. The display has frozen in place not allowing us to know what gear we are in, how fast we are going and whether the signals are operating. This problem happened twice and week and now is happening every other time we get in the vehicle. We have had to deal with a frozen or blank or malfunctioning screen while driving down ih-10 endangering us and the drivers around us. We are essentially driving blind. It is a frightening feeling having the display freezing and then rebooting while driving down a busy highway. We though this was a one off, the first couple of times this happened; now it is happening every other time we get in the vehicle. Today, the screen rebooted twice and even after that, the sound never came back on. We had no access to the radio navigation guidance or audible signals. Not to mention that the air conditioner fan suddenly went from high to low on its own without anyway to control it. The vehicle randomly alerts us that the front hood is open while we are driving; this happens very often along with the other issues. The screen randomly displays hazrds while driving and the speed and gear select disappear randomly, rebooting over and over while driving. The car also braked very hard on the highway recently for no reason. My wife and i were both in the vehicle. We have many videos and pictures of these occurences. Many more random safety issues, too many to list while driving. Very high safety issues. |
