Consumer Description

This is a follow on complaint due to this occurring 12 times over the past 6 months, 6 of those times nearly resulted in catastrophic accidents. I wrote Tesla via certified mail, per their owner's rights requirements in Dec 22 and Jan 23, stated the problem and requested repair, replace, or repurchase. I gave Tesla ample opportunity to repair the vehicle. Tesla now refuses to repair and is failing to adhere to their own warranty, recall, stated owners rights, TX code, and NTHSA guidance (recall and likely codes due to breach), and they're now threatening me and behaving negligently by asking that I take their malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle back out on the road. Our vehicle has been out of service 2 months total and 1 month currently over multiple corrective action attempts for a recalled item. Service Visit Invoices versus reality, plus dates in and out of service do not include additional vehicle down time while waiting for service visit time slots - We purchased the vehicle on 7/23/2022 - I do not have access to records prior to this date, though I am certain this vehicle was plagued by the recalled issue under factory warranty. I firmly believe, based on Tesla's actions under my ownership, that they will do anything in their power, including blocking or changing vehicle history so they can avoid their responsibilities. 7/23/2022 - Key fob battery replaced; Invoice failed to include service center employee hard resetting the computer system and faulty AC system, plus trim piece identified as needing repair 8/10/2022 - HVAC and trim corrected; Invoice failed to include issues with computer and technician described that some of these require resets sometimes, but failed to provide info about the recall and the nature of the failures. I described that the screens would unsafely reset on their own and the technicians failed to provide any further information. 9/16/2022 - Vehicle failed to charge at high speed charging and buggy/malfunctioning screens included
