NHTSA Complaint #11289778 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

DOORS RANDOMLY POP OPEN. WHEN ENTERING THE CAR FROM ANY DOOR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR POP OPEN. THE DOORS ALSO POP OPEN ANYTIME THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK. SOMEIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, OR WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC JAMS. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, FRANKLY ANYWHERE. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK THE DOORS POP OPEN. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS LOW MILES AND ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD. 3 OUT OF 4 DOORS HAVE HAD ISSUES. I SEE ON TESLA FORUMS THAT I AM ONE OF MANY PEOPLE THIS HAPPENS TO, SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, IN SOME CASES SOONER ALL OF THESE OWNERS FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO, THAT THERE ARE CLEARLY FAULTY DOORS THAT TESLA NOT ADDRESSING AS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOORS POP OPEN UNDER VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE, HAVING SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN. ALTHOUGH MY CHILDREN SIT IN BACK, I AM OFTEN TRANSPORTING ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HAVING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR POP OPEN IN TRAFFIC IS ALARMING AND CONCERNING TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE MOTORS IN THE DOORS ARE ROUTINELY DISCUSSED IN TESLA FORUMS AS HAVING PROBLEMS. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY IN WHICH THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE TO EVACUATE MY CHILDREN FROM THE BACKSEAT, THIS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAPPEN, AS THE HANDLE WILL NOT EVEN COME OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR. THESE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES ON A CAR THIS YOUNG AND PRESENT REAL AND KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY TESLA.
