2019 Tesla Model 3 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“My vehicle is experiencing wire issues resulting in error messages such as power reduced, front motor disabled, etc that disable safety features such as the turning signals and issues with braking and steering. The vehicle will power off/shut down while driving and restart. The car is currently in service for the past 2 weeks and other than notifying me that there are wire issues, Tesla has been unable to diagnose the cause of the problem or fix it.”

“While driving through my work place parking lot, my Tesla suddenly stopped and displayed a fault code and requesting immediate return of the car to a Tesla service center. My car would not unlock the doors when I tried to exit, either via the touch screen unlock icon, electric door unlock button, or using my phone app. I ended up using the emergency door open latch to get out of the car to call for assistance. I closed the door behind me but was unable to reenter the car. Tried my key card and my phone app to unlock it but to no avail. The car ended up having to be tow away.”

“I was moving forward at ~15 MPH over a set of railroad tracks on a city street when both electric motors stopped working bringing us to a halt on the tracks. The car would not switch into neutral to allow it to be pushed off of the tracks nor would it release the brakes until put into tow mode which required 4-5 people to push at that point. There were no steps displayed to get the car into a mode that would allow it to move.”

“I have had multiple compressor issues since the car was made in 2019 and already replaced once. Now it is failing again and as the compressor is used to cool the powertrain it can degrade performance and who knows when my car could fail while on the road due to lack of cooling capacity.”

“Around 12:30 PM PST on 7/1/2021, I got back into my car which was parked at a local shopping center to return home. I quickly noticed when I shifted my car into reverse, it instead drove forward. I performed a hard reset of the vehicle, which did not fix the issue. I also tried putting the car into drive, then back into reverse and it still proceeded to drive forward. What eventually fixed the issue was putting the car into drive, then tapping the accelerator, then putting it back in reverse.”
