NHTSA Complaint #11437891 — 2013 TESLA MODEL S

March 2021: Experienced center touch screen display persistently shutting off. This is a safety hazard because the center screen is the only way control much of the car's safety components and functionality. Received safety recall notice, NHTSA Recall_No.: 21V-035. Attempted to make an appointments through mobile app and phone calls to service the recall multiple times but was told they do not have the part to repair the car and to continue driving the car. August 2021: Somehow managed to successfully schedule an appointment through mobile app. Took car to service center. Was told by service advisor that the purpose of the recall was to repair my issue with center display shutting off while car was in use. Car was repaired by replacing 8GB eMMC and released back to me on the same day. September 2021: Recall issue with center display shutting off was not resolved such that not only does the center display continue to shut off while car is in use, the instrument cluster screen directly in front of the steering wheel is now shutting off as well, another clear safety hazard. The cluster screen displays information such as speedometer, battery state of charge, gears (P,N,R,D). October 2021: Scheduled another service appointment through mobile app to repair issues of both screens shutting off. Reviewed repair estimates prior to appointment which showed zero cost to me. Took car to service center. Was told by service advisor that it they will charge me $200 to inspect the car, if issues are related to recall there will be waive the $200 fee and repair at no cost, however if issues are not related to recall, they will charge me $2000. I declined the offer and drove the car home while both screens are persistently shutting off. I believe the car is dangerous to drive in its current state and Tesla refuses to repair the car and resolve these safety hazards.
