Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY. ON MY RIGHT WAS AN EXIT RAMP AND IN THE LEFT LANE THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE. SUDDENLY THE WARNING BUZZER WENT OFF AND THE CAR PULLED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. I QUICKLY CORRECTED TO THE RIGHT. IT SCARED ME. IN ADDITION I CAME HOME AND DROVE INTO MY GARAGE LIKE I ALWAYS DO. THE BUZZER WENT OFF AGAIN TELLING SOMETHING WAS IN THE WAY AND SHIFTED ITSELF INTO PARK. I GOT OUT OF CAR AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY. THERE WAS NOT. I CALLED TESLA STATING THESE THINGS WERE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY WANTED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER. I TOLD THEM MY 3 AND 6 YEAR OLD GRANDKIDS WHERE STAYING WITH ME AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DOING THAT. AFTER CALLING CONTINUOUSLY FOR 2 DAYS, A LOANER WAS BROUGHT TO MY HOUSE AND MY TESLA WAS DRIVEN (NOT TOWED) TO COSTA MESA SERVICE CENTER.
