Consumer Description

A recall for my main media control unit was announced in March 2021. I have STILL not received the replacement unit from Tesla. My main screen goes black while driving. I lose ability to control HVAC, navigation, music, suspension, security etc. I also am unable sometimes to drive the vehicle from standing as the car will "reboot" unexpectedly.
