ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2019, AT 7:40 AM, I WAS PARKING MY CAR AT WORK AND MY CAR WENT ON FULL SPEED FORWARD OVER THE MEDIAN AND CRASHED, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS HAPPENED IN A SPLIT OF A SECOND AND THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY OVERRIDE BREAK THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED FROM GOING OVER AN OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE AS CLAIMED BY TESLA. I REQUESTED AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAR'S RECORDED DATA TO TESLA AND ASKED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING. AFTER WEEKS OF ANALYSIS, AN EMPLOYEE FROM TESLA CALLED AND INFORMED THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AS THE GAS PADDLE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, I WAS ASTONISHED AS I DID NOT HIT THE GAS PADDLE RATHER I JUST LET MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK TO PARK MY CAR SLOWLY IN THE PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF WITH SPEED AS IF I PUT FULL FORCE TO GAS PADDLE. AS FOR GETTING A COPY OF THE REPORT, HE SAID THAT HE WILL HAVE TO ASK THE ENGINEERS AND LET ME KNOW. IT HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS, AND NO ONE REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT THE REPORT. SOME PEOPLE SAW THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND SAID THAT I REDUCED THE SPEED OF MY CAR TO PARK AND SUDDENLY IT TOOK OFF AND WENT FORWARD FAST. AT THAT MOMENT, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE AS PRESSING ON A BREAK WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR AND FINALLY, I HAD TO PRESS THE PARK TO STOP IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR TO MY WORK AND PARKING AT THE SAME PARKING LOT EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. MY INSURANCE TOTALED THE CAR AND PROVIDED THE RESIDUAL VALUE, TO THIS DATE I AM WITHOUT A CAR AND TRYING TO FIX THE DAMAGES OF MY CAR. I ALMOST GAVE UP BUT SAW THE NEWS THAT I AM NOT ALONE ABOUT TESLA DENYING SIMILAR CLAIMS OF HUNDREDS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION CRASHES. TESLA HAVE THE DATA AND I AM REQUESTING TESLA TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE FOR MY DAMAGE. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND HELP BRING CLOSURE TO THIS MATTER.

HERE IS A REPORT AND VIDEO OF AN OUT OF CONTROL MODEL X. HTTPS://WWW.TUNOTICIAPR.COM/NOTICIAS-POLICIACAS/1614660804--VIDEO-MUESTRA-VEH%C3%ADCULO-TESLA-DESCONTROLADO-EN-MAYAG%C3%BCEZ-A-PUNTO-DE-ATROPELLAR-A-UNA-PERSONA- ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 2019, A STRANGE VEHICULAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON CALLE DE LA CANDELARIA, FORMER STREET MCKINLEY, MAYAGEZ, IN FRONT OF THE BAKERY MASSA BAKERY. THE DRIVER OF A TESLA MODEL X ELECTRIC CAR WAS PARKING, WHEN SUDDENLY IT SPED UP, INITIALLY IMPACTING A PICK-UP BUS. THE IMPRESSIVE IMAGES SHOW THAT THE TESLA VEHICLE WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING INJURIES TO A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS GETTING OFF THE WHITE TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN HE WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO RUNNING OVER A PERSON ON THE OPPOSITE SIDEWALK. THE MARCH CONTINUED UNCONTROLLABLY AND IN A CIRCLE, SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTING A SECOND VEHICLE. CLEARLY THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THERE IS NO SUDDEN ACCELERATION (WHICH IS OFTEN BLAMED ON FOOT ERROR). IT WAS ONLY LUCK THAT PREVENTED LOSS OF LIFE. YOU HAVE DOZENS OF REPORTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FILED. OWNERS ARE ADAMANT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR NOT DRIVER ERROR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION. ** PLEASE NOTE - I AM NOT THE OWNER...THIS IS A REPORT MADE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE VIN OF A CAR THAT IS ON A SALVAGE AUCTION SITE IN ORDER TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS NOT FRAUDULENT AS ELON MUSK HAS CLAIMED, IT IS JUST A WAY TO OVERCOME THE DEFICIENCIES IN YOUR WEBSITE THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR CONCERNED CITIZENS TO FILE A COMPLAINT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT US RESIDENTS BUT ARE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE DANGEROUS TESLAS LOOSE ON THE ROADS. THANK YOU. HAVE A SPLENDID DAY.

THE FALCON WING DOORS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DOORS OF THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE REMOTE OR THE DOOR HANDLE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO KIDS OR PETS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEAR THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOME. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT IN THE PARKED MODE IN A CITY STREET AFTER A SHORT 10-MILE TRIP.

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.
