Consumer Description

TOUCHSCREEN FAILURE IN EITHER COMPLETE BLACK SCREEN OR UNRESPONSIVE DURING DRIVING. IN ADDITIONAL, PARTIAL FUNCTION LOSS OF THE INSTRUCTION PANELS IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS HAPPENING ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS THAT FORCE ME HAVE TO STOPPED ON THE ROAD TO REBOOT/DEEP REST THE SYSTEM. WHEN ITS FAILED I LOSS VIEW OF REAR CAMERA, CANNOT OPERATE HVAC (DEFOGGING) LIGHT, AND LOSS OF THE PARKING ASSISTANT SUPPORT. FURTHERMORE I SUSPECT THIS DEFECTS ALSO RENDERS MY INTERNAL WEB BROWSER UNUSABLE AND COVERTLY LOSING OF NAVIGATION VOICE PROMPT. I AWARE THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE FROM NHTSA INVESTIGATION EA-20-003. HOWEVER, WHEN CONTACT TESLA FOR THIS ISSUE THEY SIMPLY REFUSE TO FIX THE DEFECTS EMMC CITING I HAVE TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATE AND TIME OF FAILURE, WHICH IS UNREASONABLE UNLESS THE DRIVER IS ALREADY AWARE THE DETAIL OF THIS DEFECTS AND TAKING SPECIFIC NOTE FOR THE OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, I LUCKILY MADE A NOTE FOR THE OCCURRENCE AT THE TIME, BUT TESLA STILL REFUSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTS UNIT CITING THEY LOSS THE LOG OF MY INCIDENT. THEN, THEY PUSHED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE SIMPLY DEFER THE PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING. FURTHERMORE, IN THIS PANDEMIC SITUATION, MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO AVOID OF GOING OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. MY POINT IS THEIR DEFECTS ALREADY CAUSE MATERIALIZED DAMAGE TO THE EMMC, WHICH HAS A FIXED LIFESPAN FOR THE CYCLE OF WRITES. IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED A RECALL FOR THESE DEFECTS DEVICE WILL FAILED SOONER OR LATER.
