Consumer Description

I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY MCU UNIT SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ODI ENGINEERING ANALYSIS EA20-003. I HAVE OBSERVED THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS AND TOUCHSCREEN FAIL 4 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHILE DRIVING. IN THE WINTER MONTHS IN MN, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES THE HVAC SYSTEMS TO TURN OFF. THE WINDOWS START TO FOG UP AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TRIED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO TESLA, BUT THEY KEEP RESPONDING BY SAYING THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DETECT ANY FAULTS FROM THE CAR, BUT ALSO SAY THAT A FUTURE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS EXPECTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN CLAIM THIS WILL BE RESOLVED BY A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHEN THEY DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE FLAW CAUSING THIS ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
