Consumer Description
I understand that in September 2022 there was a recall because the windows were pinching people's fingers and not letting go. Why then did it happen to me in January 2024? The window closed on my finger and was trying and trying very hard to close, as if the sensor didn't detect an object at all. I pulled and pulled at it for a few seconds before my hand ripped out. I wasn't sure how bad the damage would be as it was cold outside. I had a raised red mark and no feeling in the entire tip for a few days. Today is Day 8 and the mark looks exactly the same, but I have maybe half of the feeling back. I'm assuming it will be OK and I haven't gone to a doctor. Also, I did contact Tesla directly and they didn't care. They just had low-level people email me boilerplate language about a recall. No one reached out to say that they were sorry the car malfunctioned or express any concern.
