NHTSA Complaint #11337323 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

THE MAIN CONTROL SCREEN HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY INACTIVE OR BLACK. ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THE CAR IS CONTROLLED BY THIS SCREEN. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO FIX IT FOR OVER TWO YEARS ON OVER SIX OCCASIONS WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE SCREEN NOW AT 64K MILES IS TOTALLY DEAD AND WILL NOT RESTART. IT DISABLES THE ABILITY TO CHARGE THE MOTOR DRIVE SYSTEM BATTERY, THE AC HEAT AND DEFROSTER SYSTEM, CONTROL OF THE LIGHTS AND WIPERS. ACCORDING TO THOUSANDS OF WEB PAGES THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY SOFTWARE DISABLING THE MAIN FILE SYSTEM MEMORY CHIP PREMATURELY. TELSA SERVICE WANTS ME TO PAY $1146 TO FIX THIS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT MULTIPLE TIMES DURING WARRANTY. IT MAKES THE CAR USELESS AND UNSAFE AND THERE SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ISSUED.
