NHTSA Complaint #11384211 — 2017 TESLA MODEL X

THE LARGE SCREEN IN MY TESLA OCCASIONALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK AND STOPS FUNCTIONING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY REAR VIEW/ BACK UP CAMERA GOES BLACK, MY HEATING AND AIR CONDTITIONING SHUTS OFF, MY RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH SHUTS OFF. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR BUT IS VERY LIMITED. THIS CAN LAST FOR 5 MINUTES OR UP TO 15 MINUTES. I CANNOT PREDICT WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE SAME DAYS, OTHER TIMES A WEEK WILL GO BY WITHOUT IT HAPPENING. TESLA CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS AND OFFERED A FIX: THEY WOULD UNDER WARRANTY INSTALL A NEW EMMC CHIP AND THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DID THIS, TESLA HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND THEY PERFORMED THE FIX. IT DID NOT WORK AND MY SCREEN CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION, IT IS VERY UNSETTLING. THIS CAN, AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I AM: DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD, DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR, AND WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR UP IN THE MORNING. I HAVE ATTACHED 2 PHOTOS I TOOK WHEN THIS HAPPENED 2 SEPARATE TIMES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT OCCURRED . THIS IS AFTER I HAVE HAD THE REPAIR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
