Consumer Description

I was told that I need to replace the full steering column (which costs over $5,600). I understand there are other open recalls on very similar issues for other Tesla vehicles. The car is 2019, Model X, with no prior accidents. I didn't want to put my family in any compromising situation due to a failed steering mechanism, so I opted to pay and have it replaced. I feel this issue needs to be escalated since other vehicles have the same (or similar) problem.
