What 417 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Tesla Model X P90d

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL IN TESLAS. THERE HAS BEEN A DIS-PROPORTIONALLY HIGH NUMBER OF CASES OF UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THE FAULT HAS ALWAYS BEEN BLAMED UPON DRIVER ERROR. HERE IS A REPORT THAT PROVES THE PROBLEM IS AN ELECTRONIC DESIGN FLAW AND THAT TESLA IS DELIBERATELY COVERING UP THE PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.AUTOSAFETY.ORG/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2015/03/TESLAS-SUDDEN-ACCELERATION-LOG-DATA-WHAT-IT-SHOWS.PDF SNIP ** - TESLA'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION LOG DATA ' WHAT IT SHOWS BY RONALD A. BELT PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 1 MAY 2018 ABSTRACT: ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR DATA FROM THE LOG FILE OF A TESLA S SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT IS PROVIDED, AND A TESLA CIRCUIT DIAGRAM IS USED TO EXPLAIN HOW THE DATA IS OBTAINED FROM THE TWO ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSORS. EXAMINATION OF THE DATA SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT INCREASED TO CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. BUT THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE DRIVER. INSTEAD, THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULT IN THE MOTOR SPEED SENSOR, WITH WHICH IT SHARES A COMMON+ 5V POWER AND GROUND. THIS INCREASE IN PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT OCCURS WITHOUT THE DRIVER PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ** I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER BUT I AM FORCED TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. I AM NOT A US RESIDENT, A DUMMY ADDRESS HAS BEEN USED TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY TRUE NAME AND ADDRESS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS SUBMISSION. DATE OF INCIDENT AND NUMBER OF CASUALTIES ARE GUESTIMATES.

THE EYE BOLT THE 2016 TESLA MODEL X THAT IS USE TO LOAD A TESLA ON TO A TOW TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE.THE LOADING MANUAL IS WRONG AS WELL. 08/24/2018 AROUND 10 AM MOUNTAIN TIME IN UTAH. THE LOCATION WAS AT SERVICE KING IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. VEHICLE VIN # [XXX] 2016 MODEL X. THE EYE BOLT USED TO LOAD THE VEHICLE ON TO A WRECKER FOR TRANSPORT IS DEFECTIVE. THE LOADING MANUAL DOES NOT ILLUSTRATE A SAFE METHOD TO LOAD VEHICLE USING THIS EYE BOLT. I WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE VIA THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE TESLA MODEL X MANUAL AND AS SOON AS I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SPOT TO PUT A CHALK BEHIND WHEEL, THE BOLT BROKE AND THE VEHICLE CAME OFF THE DECK AND ALMOST RAN OVER A KID WORKING IN THE BODY SHOP. I GOT SLIGHTLY INJURED TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE WALL. THE BODY SHOP REFUSES TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO TESLA. WHEN I TRIED TO REPORT THIS TO TESLA I WAS HUNG UP ON 2 TIMES. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT TESLAS CORPORATE OFFICE I GOT REDIRECTED BACK TO THE SALT LAKE CITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT 2 TIMES WHERE I GOT HUNG UP ON 2 TIME AGAIN. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN AND WILL CAUSE A LOSS OF LIFE OR SERIOUS INJURY. BUT YET TESLA HAS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL ACTING LIKE THIS IS A GAME. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CONTACTED BE A TESLA REGIONAL REP AND NEVER WAS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE VISITING A FUNERAL HOME IN MELROSE, MA., I NEEDED TO BACK INTO A SPOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE PART IN THE FUNERAL PROCESSION. I PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT I WAS IN AND PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK INTO THE SAME PARKING SPOT. AT THE SAME MOMENT THAT I STARTED TO BACK IN THE CAR SURGED AND MADE AN ARC IN THE PARKING LOT ONLY STOPPING AFTER I HIT A PARKED CAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT CAUSED TWO MORE CARS TO BE HIT BY THE IMPACT. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING ON THE BREAK WHICH HAD NO EFFECT AND EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HURT, MY ARMS ACHED FOR DAYS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO CONTROL THE WHEEL TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD AND WAS IN REVERSE AT THE TIME WHICH MEANT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO BACK IN SLOWLY. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT TESLA CHECK THE THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF I AM OF FAULT OR NOT AND THEY HAVE REFUSED. MY TESLA IS BEING REPAIRED AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A TECHNICAL ERROR . I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE AUTO PILOT SYSTEM THAT COULD BE A FAULT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER USED IT. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW THIS HAPPENED.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=27618876&ROWNUMBER=11&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE BACK LH WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY. THE TREAD APPEARS TO BE WORN DOWN SUGGESTING THAT THE CAR DROVE FOR SOME DISTANCE WITH A DAMAGED SUSPENSION CAUSING THE TIRE TO RUB AGAINST THE BODYWORK UNTIL THE SUSPENSION FINALLY FELL TO BITS. I HAVE SEARCHED THE JUNKYARDS FOR OTHER BRANDS OF CARS THAT ARE AFFLICTED BY AS MUCH WHOMPINESS AS TESLAS BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY EXAMPLES. PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO INVESTIGATE THIS PHENOMENON. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/25589048 THE FRONT RH WHEEL IS JAMMED BACK IN THE WHEEL ARCH AND YET THERE IS NO COLLISION DAMAGE FORWARD OF THE WHEEL. EVEN THE HEADLIGHT GLASS IS INTACT. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG HAS NOT GONE OFF JUST THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR-BAGS. THE SIDE IMPACT PROBABLY HAPPENED AFTER THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL WHEN THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC.

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/38498547 IT HAS BIO-HAZARD STICKERS INDICATING THAT OCCUPANTS WERE INJURED. THE FRONT TOP BALL JOINT HAS SEPARATED FROM ITS SOCKET. BOTH LOWER BALL JOINT STEMS HAVE SNAPPED. THESE ARE STEEL COMPONENTS THAT ARE STRONGER THAN THE ALLOY PARTS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG IF THE BALL AND SOCKET CAN POP APART LIKE THIS EVEN IF IT DID HAPPEN AFTER THE CRASH. THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SLICED IN HALF AS IF IT WAS MOUNTED ON A LATHE AND A CUTTING TOOL FORCED INTO THE RIM. IT LOOKS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE WHEEL WAS SLICED IN HALF WHILST IT WAS STILL ROTATING AND THAT ALMOST CERTAINLY HAPPENED BEFORE THE CRASH. THERE IS NO OTHER MAKE OF CAR IN WHICH NEAR NEW CARS ARE SHOWING UP IN THE JUNKYARDS WITH BROKEN SUSPENSIONS AND SLICED WHEELS AT ANYWHERE NEAR THE FREQUENCY THAT TESLA CARS DO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE REASONS FOR ALL THESE FAILURES. THANK YOU. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM FILING THESE REPORTS AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN. I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER AND I AM MAKING THESE REPORTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE IS A CLEAR PATTERN OF REPEATED FAILURES IN THE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. DATE OF CRASH IS AN APPROXIMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TESLA MODEL X. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON AUTOPILOT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TOW TRUCK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOPILOT FUNCTION MALFUNCTIONED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BOTH KNEES, THE LEFT WRIST, AND THE ABDOMEN AREA. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. IT WAS NOT DETERMINED IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THERE HAS BEEN AN INCIDENT IN WHICH THE DOORS OF A MODEL X OPENED WHILST THE CAR WAS UNOCCUPIED AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS HIT BY A PASSING TRUCK: HTTP://WWW.CARADVICE.COM.AU/587189/TESLA-MODEL-X-DOOR-OPENS-AUTOMATICALLY-GETS-TORN-OFF-BY-PASSING-TRUCK/ THERE IS A DISPUTE BETWEEN TESLA AND THE OWNER WITH TESLA CLAIMING THAT THE OWNER OPENED THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE KEY-FOB. IT CAN NOT BE CERTAIN THAT THE TESLA VERSION OF EVENTS IS CORRECT. IT IS REMARKABLE THAT IN EVERY CRASH INVOLVING A TESLA THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE LOGS PROVE IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE OWNER. EVEN IF THE CARS LOGS DID GENUINELY SHOW THAT A SIGNAL FROM A REMOTE CAUSED THE OPENING IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A FAULT IN THE KEY-FOB WAS RESPONSIBLE. TESLA KEY-FOB BATTERIES FAIL OFTEN. LOW BATTERIES IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAN CAUSE SPURIOUS FAULTS. TESLA HAS ONLY RECENTLY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE TO ALLOW REMOTE DOOR OPENING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GIMMICK IS UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS. A PASSING CYCLIST WOULD NOT BE EXPECTING THE DOORS OF ANY EMPTY CAR TO SUDDENLY SWING OPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. A CONCERNED CITIZEN.

HTTP://HZNEWS.HANGZHOU.COM.CN/SHEHUI/CONTENT/2017-06/27/CONTENT_6588362.HTM (GOOGLE WILL TRANSLATE) OCCUPANTS WERE SLIGHTLY INJURED BY THE AIR-BAGS.

A TESLA MODEL X HAS JUST CRASHED AND BURST INTO FLAMES. HTTP://WWW.OCREGISTER.COM/2017/06/25/CAR-SMASHES-INTO-OCFA-GATES-IN-A-RECURRING-PROBLEM/ PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ATTACHED WHICH SHOWS A FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION LYING ON THE GROUND SOME DISTANCE BEFORE THE CRASH SCENE. THE TOP BALL JOINT HAS POPPED APART. EVEN IF THE SUSPENSION WAS HIT IN THE CRASH THE BALL JOINT SHOULD NOT HAVE POPPED. YOU HAVE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON RECORD OF TESLA BALL JOINTS COMING APART. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE BALL-JOINT FAILURE CAUSED THE CRASH. ALSO THE TESLA HAS ONCE AGAIN SELF-IGNITED. CRASH TESTS NEED TO BE DONE WITH A BATTERY THAT IS HOT FROM RECENT CHARGING OR FROM FAST DRIVING TO FIND OUT WHY TESLAS BURST INTO FLAMES SO OFTEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

HERE IS A REPORT OF A TESLA MODEL X CRASH IN CHINA. HTTPS://MP.WEIXIN.QQ.COM/S/1DIN0UYENLRL8BO9GYKPCG (GOOGLE WILL TRANSLATE) THE OWNER REPORTS THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE CENTRE DIVIDER, SPUN 180 DEGREES AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR. THE DRIVERS AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY RESULTING IN VERY SERIOUS INJURIES. THE REAR SEAT OCCUPANTS WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE FALCON DOORS. THE EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE IS NOT OBVIOUS TO OCCUPANTS AND REQUIRES THEM TO REACH UP BEHIND THE SPEAKER GRILL TO FIND THE PULL. THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS BURNED TO ASHES. BYSTANDERS WERE UNABLE TO DOUSE THE FIRE USING REGULAR EXTINGUISHERS.. THE SUDDEN SWERVE, FAILURE OF AIR-BAG AND FAILURE OF DOOR RELEASE MECHANISMS IS CONSISTENT WITH FAILURE OF THE 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR GROUND CONNECTION AS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. CONCERNED CITIZEN.

TAKATA RECALL I DROVE MY TESLA MODEL X 2016 TODAY TO WORK AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT (AROUND 6 MILES PER HOUR MAY BE) IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL AND BOUNCED BACK AROUND 8 FEET. SINCE IT WAS FOR PARKING I CAN SURELY SAY THAT I DID NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. THE STEERING AIR BAGS AND KNEE AIR BAGS CAME OFF AND ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE KNEE AIR BAGS CAME OFF AS WELL. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A CLASS ACTION SUITE ON THIS ISSUE BUT TESLA IS NOT ACCEPTING IT AS THE GLITCH IN THEIR SOFTWARE OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT. I FELT LIKE THE ACCELERATOR GOT PRESSED THE WAY WHEN THE CAR WAS IN CRUISE MODE. UNLESS I WANTED TO HIT THE WALL INTENTIONALLY THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED FROM ALMOST ZERO TO WHATEVER THE HIGH SPEED IT ATTAINED AT THE TIME OF HITTING THE WALL.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=24242595&ROWNUMBER=57&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A MAJOR COLLISION. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CRASH BUT IT MAY BE SIGNIFICANT THAT THE BACK WHEELS ARE BOTH JAMMED UP IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND THAT THE BACK RH WHEEL APPEARS TO BE SKEWED SIDEWAYS. THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE WHEELS BEING OFFSET IN THIS WAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CRASH TO SEE WHETHER SUSPENSION FAILURE WAS THE CAUSE. NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER AND MY ONLY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS INCIDENT COMES FROM EXAMINATION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS POSTED ON THIS SALVAGE AUCTION SITE.

THE CAR WAS ON AUTOPILOT. MY MODEL X AUTOPILOT RAN OVER A RECLINER AT 60M/H THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS AROUND 6 PM, WEATHER WAS NICE AND CLEAR. I TRIED TO AVOID IT BY MOVING TO RIGHT LANE BUT IT HIT THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF CAR CAUSING MINOR DAMAGES TO CAR. I TRIED TO REACH OUT TO TESLA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY TOLD ME [4 OR 5 TIMES] THAT SOMEONE WILL CONTACT ME AND NO ONE EVER DID. EVERYTIME I TALKED TO TESLA [BY PHONE AND EMAIL] THEY ASK ME FOR MORE INFORMATION AND THEN TELL ME SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY DIDN'T THE CAR SLOW DOWN OR EVEN CHANGE LANES AND HOW CAN I AVOID THIS IN FUTURE SPECIALLY THAT I USE THIS CAR FOR MY 2 KIDS. I HAD BEEN TRYING TO REACH OUT TO TESLA SINCE OCTOBER 2016. *TR
