2015 Tesla Model S Electronic stability control Problems

“The center screen of my Tesla stopped working when I started the car one day (car was parked), resulting in a loss of the backup camera and access to many driver settings, such as regenerative braking, automatic lights, etc. Rebooting the unit did not help, and the car would not shut off once the issue occurred.”

“I put the car in reverse and the screen was black. All the controls were stuck...fan/AC...back up camera did not work. My turning signals did not work. Tesla service center was closed so all the AC did not turn off and drained the battery all the way to 0 range. Took a lot of trouble to get to the service center the next day. They concluded the mcu was dead and had to be replaced claiming that it was wear and tear. …”

“This complaint is about Tesla's first generation media control unit (mcu). The mcu is the brains of the car and control the big center screen that the Tesla Model S is known for. When it failed not only did I lose the ability to use this big screen but I also lost key safety items signals, backup camera, cruise control, automatic breaking, and auto pilot. All the sound features are also disengaged as well and this was evident in the lack of sound for the turn signal as well as the lack of sound for the alert if your seatbelt is undone. …”

“When I purchased my car less than a year ago, it came with a 50,000 mile, 4 year new car warranty although it was a used car with approx 25k miles. Within 6 months, an update came out over the air and changed my software, and ultimately lead to a range loss of approx 40 miles and an increase in charging time by approx 3x because Tesla, admittedly through their service texts, has limited the charging on my car to preserve battery life. This is akin to selling me a 8 cylinder car, and limiting it to 6 to not have to change engine. …”

“I was parking in my usual parking spot in a parking lot at my office at approximately 8:15 a.m. As I approached my parking spot, I slowed my car by pressing on the brake and made a 90 degree turn into my parking spot. The vehicle was slowing moving forward and was less than 10 feet from where I intended to stop the vehicle when the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and crashed into the concrete wall that was at the base of my parking spot, causing the car's airbags to deploy. I did not have my foot on the accelerator pedal at the time the vehicle accelerated into the wall. …”
