NHTSA Complaint #11388445 — 2015 TESLA MODEL S

WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR IN THE GARAGE THE TOUCH SCREEN WOULDN'T LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WAS DEAD. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE MAN HAD ME GO THROUGH A SERIES OF RESETS WHICH FINALLY GOT THE CAR GOING ENOUGH SO I COULD DRIVE IT VERY CAREFULLY TO THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER WHICH IS 15 MILES AWAY. THE CAR COULD BE OPERATED BUT THERE WAS NO SCREEN AND THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS WOULDN'T WORK. THEY KEPT THE CAR FIVE DAYS TRYING TO RESTORE THE TOUCHSCREEN AND WERE FINALLY SUCCESSFUL. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT REPLACE PARTS AND THE COST WAS $186.11 THE SCREEN HAS GONE DARK A FEW TIMES SINCE BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT BACK WITH REBOOTING AND WAITING. OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT DON'T MENTION THE FACT THAT THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS DON'T WORK SO I FELT I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
