Consumer Description

The power steering on My model X intermittently shuts off. When this occurs the car is impossible to control. This feels like an electronic issue as the car just as quickly can regain the power steering. Whenever this happens it is accompanied by a screen warning sayin that the power steering may have reduced functionality. The first time this happened was many months ago when the car was under full warranty Tesla now wants $ $4500.00 to correct this. The car now has 55 K miles on it and I consider this to be a defect.
