Consumer Description

THE MCU (LARGE TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL) HAS BEEN REBOOTING RANDOMLY FOR YEARS WHILE DRIVING RENDERIMG SOME CAR FUNCTIONS NON FUNCTIONAL INCLUDING TURN SIGNAL. TODAY IT TURNED OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING THE CAR DRIVABLE BUT HANDICAPPED AND I AM UNSURE IF IT SAFE TO DRIVE. I UNDERSTAND TESLA KNOWS ABOUT THE EMMC FAILURE THAT CAN CAUSE THIS ISSUE YET THEY DON'T WARN CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN UNDER WARRANTY AND WHEN IT COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE LEAST TESLA COULD DO IS TELL CUSTOMERS ABOUT WHAT DANGERS MAY BE PRESENT AND THAT SOME LEGAL BASED FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE LIKE THE TURN SIGNALS WILL BE INOPERABLE. IT'S UPSETTING THAT TESLA KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND IS NOT INFORMING CUSTOMERS.
