NHTSA Complaint #10944389 — 2016 TESLA MODEL X

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
