2014 Tesla Model S Electronic stability control Problems

“From a coasting position in an underground garage, I turned right to round a 90 degree corner. After completing the turn my car began to speed up rapidly. When I first noticed the acceleration beginning, I stepped on the brake, which had no effect. The car continued to accelerate over a distance of about 50 feet and collided head-on with a concrete wall. Front airbags on the driver's side deployed and my body struck them: face, chest, and lower legs. I have injuries from the incident.”

“My infotainment (center lcd panel) shut off without warning and could not be restarted while driving. This sudden failure took my attention away from the road and repeatedly attempting to restart the screen was also a hazard forcing me to pull to the side of the road but was still unable to restart the infotainment center. With the infotainment system down, the majority of the features in the vehicle are cut off from me. I later read that this is a common problem affecting teslas built between 2013 and 2018.”

“Due to recent news this week of NHTSA investigating the Tesla Model S from 2012 to 2015 regarding the faulty screen, I wanted to report that I had a similar problem. The large screen called mcu or media controlled unit on my Model S would have problems of blacking out while driving or when trying to start from a parked position. Ultimately, it shut down altogether. I had reported the problem to Tesla when the screen blackout problems were happening in 2018 and 2019 by calling customer service. Tesla's customer service told me to reboot the system by holding down the two scroll buttons. …”

“Tesla cpu failure is causing car to have issues. Bluetooth will not connect, car will not unlock, lights do not work- either are stuck on or off, blinkers do not work, back up camera does not work, air conditioning is stuck on which drains battery, cannot charge the car when it is not responding as charging port will not unlock. Car has essentially turned into a brick with <60,000 miles. Very disappointed in Tesla. These happen both when vehicle is moving and stationary.”

“There is a known issue with Tesla media control unit (mcu) dead or won't turn on due to poor design of the emmc memories. The unit eventually dies once the memories are full and the unit won't turn on anymore. Since this mcu is the heart of the Tesla vehicle, all the safety features will be disable like collision sensors, hazard alert/notification, unlock the door/windows from the inside, most of the gauges on the dashboard are disable, even the lane turn signals are disable and the backup camera. …”
