“The car thinks the trunk is open but it is not. As a result, the car doesn't stop beeping as a warning to a trunk that is fully closed. In addition, I can't open the trunk at all. When driving the car I can no longer use autopilot and other safety features of the car. I also can't lock the care. All and all, the car in unusable, because of an issue with the trunk, this is definitely a faulty design.”

NHTSA complaint #11390719, filed 2021-01, 80,000 miles“My vehicle is subject to the Tesla mcu recall, in which the substandard emmc was killed by excessive logging and rendering the entire mcu inoperative. I had the mcu replaced prior to the recall, and filed the reimbursement claim when it went live. Tesla denied my claim, stating that the replacement was done for reasons other than those specified in the recall. Other Tesla owners report similar claim dismissals. Tesla must be legally forced to honor the recall and reimbursement order.”
NHTSA complaint #11408168, filed 2021-04, 58,000 miles“Touch screen will blank, show unusual characters, not respond, exhibit pixillation, stop rear vision camera from displaying, not play radio or music properly and/or intermittantly, and present navigation information improperly. Media computer was replaced last year, but new computer still has those same and other problems. Happens with vehicle in motion, city and highway, randomly. Evidence indicates this may be related to a memory storage hardware chip inside the media computer, being of too little total capacity. …”
