Consumer Description

TESLA SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND WILL NOT COME ON. NO BACK UP CAMERA, NO TURN SIGNAL, NO RADIO, NO A/C. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORNING WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON. HAVE TRIED RESET. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TESLA TO REPAIR BUT IN THE PROCESS OF RESEARCHING PROBLEM, HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A KNOWN FAILURE OF MANY TESLA'S BETWEEN 2014-2017. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND TESLA SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR THAT IS 15 MILES FROM MY HOME. *TR
