“The left and right turning signal buttons work intermittently. I would tap on the buttons but they would not turn on the corresponding signal for other drivers to see. I would tap on the buttons multiple times if the initial press fails, but that does not help. I usually resort to turning on the hazard lights and slowly make the needed vehicle turn. This is a hazard to myself, my occupants, and all driving around me.”
NHTSA complaint #11765741, filed 2026-09“My 2022 Tesla Model X is equipped with yoke steering wheel with capacitive turn signal buttons integrated, and there's no turn signal stalk. While I like the simplicity, the turn signal buttons sometimes do not respond. It happened about 10x in the past 12 months / 10k miles of ownership. I took the vehicle to Tesla service center twice in the last a few weeks and they couldn't do anything other than a customer paid diagnostics. The most recent occurrence was 9/17. Here's what I put in my service request. …”
NHTSA complaint #11547793, filed 2023-10“The turn signal buttons intermittently fail to work. Many presses of the tuen signal buttons do nothing. When it stops working it stops for several minutes and then will start to work again. The problem is happening more and more frequently. The yoke has been replaced 3 times already for the same issue and after about a year just started happening again.”
