I am the current owner of a 2014 Tesla Model S equipped with MCU1. While driving, including at freeway speeds, the center touchscreen has rebooted unexpectedly, showing only the Tesla logo before recovering. During these reboots, critical vehicle functions are unavailable, including the rearview camera, HVAC/defrost controls, and other essential features. This failure matches the exact safety defect described in NHTSA Recall 21V-035 related to the MCU/eMMC failure. I reported this safety issue to Tesla Service and provided photo evidence of the screen rebooting while driving. Tesla has refused to address this as a recall or safety repair. Tesla claims the recall was previously completed under a prior owner but refuses to provide any documentation proving that the recall repair was actually performed, citing prior owner privacy. Tesla has further stated that diagnosis of this active safety defect would be customer-paid due to the basic warranty being expired and has...

My [XXX] mother owns a 2014 Tesla Model S P85+ (VIN: [XXX] ) with only 50,367 miles. The vehicle suddenly became completely inoperable without warning. It would not turn on, would not charge, and the charge port would not open. The vehicle had to be towed. Tesla diagnosed failures of the high-voltage battery contactors, the onboard charger assembly, and HV circuit integrity. These are essential high-voltage components that should not fail at such low mileage. When these parts fail, the vehicle loses all ability to charge, loses all propulsion capability, and becomes a stranded hazard. This represents a safety concern because the vehicle can shut down without warning and cannot be moved, which could leave occupants stuck in unsafe conditions or traffic. The charge port failing to open is also a safety issue, as the vehicle cannot be charged in an emergency and the owner has no way to safely...

After a high-voltage junction box repair performed by Tesla, the vehicle shut down 15 miles after leaving the service center. Tesla replaced the high-voltage harness at no cost but provided no explanation. After the HV harness replacement, new proximity/sensor alerts began triggering that were not present before their HV work. Multiple reasonable diagnostic procedures were refused, including bench-testing the sensors. Tesla is pressuring me to take possession of the vehicle without providing written confirmation that it is safe to operate following the HV system failure and subsequent replacement of HV components. I am concerned the vehicle may have unresolved high-voltage or wiring issues that could pose a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2014 Tesla Model S. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V838000 (Electrical System); however, the OTA update had not been received. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the OTA update was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and it was confirmed that the OTA update was available. Later, the case was closed after the manufacturer confirmed the OTA update had been pushed to the vehicle. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

My instrument cluster goes off while driving making it impossible to know my current speed. It also will cut off when i put it in park and the car will not move until it completely reboots. Sometimes it will just freeze and say the car is off and in park while the car is in Drive moving. One time the cluster showed that the car was in reverse but when i hit the accelerator, car moved forward. Cluster is constantly rebooting itself. 2014 Tesla models S 85. I have an attached video where all warning signs are illuminated,no speedometer and shows its in park while im driving

Overnight while plugged in and after the battery showed it was fully charged, the battery suddenly lost charge, and the car sent repeated alerts to immediately pull over and stop driving. A notice on the car showed mileage was reduced and to immediately schedule a service call. After returning home, I downloaded to the car a recent software update that cleared the error. However, after the software upgrade, Tesla messaged that they did removed tests and the high voltage battery must be replaced.

LCD dashboard is bubbling and liquid seems to be leaking within the dashboard screen. In some online research, there are concerns that contaminants can infilitrate the cabin when this happens. The problem seems to be pervasive for cars made by Tesla from 2012 to 2014. There were no warnings for when this problem ocurred. Tesla is saying that the part needs to be replaced at a cost of $1900.

The vehicles MCU storage files are 100% full, and unable to read or write new data.the caches and nodes to have been cleared several times to restore data storage and writing capabilities. 12v power resets have also been Performed as well as factory reset to eliminate potentially corrupt data and free storage space.while at Tesla they Reformatted gateway SD card. The Vehicle is still unable to take firmware update and unable to unlock vehicle gateway, therefore, a new key fob is not able to be programmed to vehicle. Tesla Tested vehicle app remote start capabilities and verified proper functionality. The tech had me uninstall then reinstall the Tesla mobile app, then pair phone to vehicle. They then informed me that a new Key fob will not be able to be paired to vehicle until infotainment upgrade is performed. no further repairs possible until info upgrade. To which that isn’t right...

Tesla has a Salvage Vehicle policy - when a vehicle has been branded as salvaged, regardless of future repairs, they will remotely disable the vehicle's ability to DC Fast Charge and require a DC System Inspection and DC Fast Charging Inspection at a cost of $870 that can only be performed by Tesla in order to service the vehicle and restore the DC Fast Charging feature. In my case Telsa has refused to perform the eMMC recall using the fact that I have not had the DC System Inspection service performed as their basis for refusing to perform the recall. Please seek an injunction against Tesla to ban them from using any pre-conditions such as first requiring a DC System Inspection in order to perform any recalls. Thank you.

Rearview camera goes out intermittently increasing risk of collision.

My car has the Gen 1 master charger assembly which is the stock part. The part malfunctioned and is a well-known issue with this vehicle. Luckily, I was not placed in harm's way when the part failed but there are many of those that have no been so lucky. This failure is not caused by the operator but is caused by the faulty factory part. This is a $3,000 repair for the owner of the vehicle alone not counting the potential risk of harm to the operator. The manufacturer must know that there is an issue with this part due to them replacing it with the Gen 2 model.

The air conditioning system is also the battery management system for keeping the car at optimal operating temperatures. If this system fails then the car will shut down to protect the integrity of the batteries. I have had my car air conditioning system serviced four times and the front louvers that direct air flow continually fail. The service center has decided there is nothing they can do because the problem doesn't have a dedicated error code for them to address. However, when I supercharge the car and the car gets hot the louvers aren't functioning properly and the car will not charge. Once I let the car cool down and drive, if the louvers are still malfunctioning the car will reduce power to the point that I have to pull over on the freeway and allow the batteries to cool down. This has happened multiple times where I have to...

My original eMMC failed and Tesla at first wanted to charge me to replace it. Then, online, I found out my car had the 8gb eMMC that Tesla was supposed to “voluntarily” replace. I told Tesla this and they agreed to replace it at no charge. The next day, my MCU failed. The car wouldn’t unlock, wake up, or connect to the Tesla App. The next day it woke up and drove fine. The following day, it wouldn’t wake up again. I had the car jumped and taken to Tesla. They now say the original MCU needs an “upgrade” and I have to pay about $3400 for it. From my understanding, the eMMC is part of the MCU. It seems the replaced eMMC won’t work with the original MCU. So-they voluntarily replaced a part that caused another part to fail. This seems like a scam rather than a fix.

In 2014, I ordered this Model S P85D, received it on 12/20/2014, I also purchased a 4-year extended service plan. Starting from March 2017, it started to encounter random yet serious problems. The car would randomly produce critical errors, displaying several types of error messages, while losing most of its driving power; the driver would have to perform emergency pullovers onto the road shoulder, if available, before the power rapidly reduce to zero. Then the driver need to restart the main computer (sometimes several times), to reset the error messages. Only after that, the car became drive-able again. I wrote an email to [email protected] on 03/23/2017 describing the problem, since then, this became a chronic issue; Service centers in Virginia, Maryland, and San Juan PR have performed numerous attempts on this problem, none of them was able to fix it. According to my records, for this issue, the car has...

After updating vehicle to software version 11.0 (2022.8.10.6 d2b84545e244) my center screen which controls the majority of my functionality and safety features including my backup camera AND my instrument cluster will intermittently go blank. This prevents me from being able to use my backup camera, see warnings about the car, as well as be able to tell how fast my car is going. In addition, my turn signals no longer have a consistent audible tone when engaged.

The contact owns a 2014 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that both infotainment screens located inside the vehicle would display blank images which rendered several electrical safety features inoperable. The contact had taken the vehicle to a service center on three occasions where they informed him that they are aware of the failure but could not repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and he was given the same information as the service center. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

Air bubbles and leaking glue on instrument cluster obscuring visibility of speedometer and other displays.
#11475648 |
My 2014 Tesla Model S is an unsafe vehicle as my dash goes black constantly and I lose control of the car safety items included in the dash panel such as speed, back up camera, visibility and power train. I have complained many times but Tesla does not respond with results that will make the car safe again.

The instrument cluster display screen on this model used defective adhesive causing "bubbling" and blurring of the information displayed, and may include the speed of the vehicle. This bubbling defect in the instrument cluster screen is a know defect by Tesla who is currently charging customers approximately $1600 to repair. This defect in the screen can make it impossible to determine the speed of the vehicle, as this is the only place it is displayed. The attached photo is not of my car but it shows what happens as these instrument clusters break down and blur visibility.

On January 3, 2022, at approximately 7:30pm we plugged our car into a dedicated 240v outlet that was installed by a licensed electrician and permitted by the city of Menlo Park. At approximately 8:30pm the charge was interrupted and then started again (per Tesla's records). We heard a couple of small noises and then a louder noise at 8:38pm. We opened the garage door and saw a large flame where the charging cord plugs into the outlet.

The contact owns a 2014 Tesla Model S. The contact noticed that there was acid leaking from the vehicle onto the contact’s foot causing the foot to burn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the screen seal failed which cause the screen to leak and both screens needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

MCU FAILED BY GOING BLACK AND NOT REBOOTING, AS HAPPENS WHEN THE EMMC FAILS. TURN INDICATORS, CLIMATE CONTROLS, AND OTHER VITAL VEHICLE INFORMATION ALL BECAME INOPERABLE. TESLA CLAIMS FAILURE WAS DUE TO MCU FLAW AND NOT THE EMMC FAILURE THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY COVERING IN THEIR RECALL, AND REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIR OF THIS PART. THE MCU FAILURE, HOWEVER, IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE EMMC FAILURE THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO COVER, AND HAS EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADDRESS IT IN THE RECALL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE TESLA FORUMS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME FAILURE AND HAVE HAD TESLA REFUSE TO COVER THEIR FAILURES AS WELL. TESLA CLAIMS IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE EMM AND THUS THEY DON'T HAVE TO REPAIR THE FLAW, BUT EVEN IF IN FACT THIS IS TRUE, THE PROBLEM THIS FAILURE CAUSES RESULTS IN THE...

CENTER SCREEN COMPUTER WOULD DIE WITHOUT WARNING SHUTTING OFF AIR FLOW, NAVIGATION, AIR SUSPENSION AND OTHER CRITICAL CONTROLS LIKE TURN SIGNALS. SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SO I HAD NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-75MPH. IT WOULD OFTEN BLINK OUT WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AS WELL. THE CAR ALSO HAD A HABIT OF MAKING THE AC SYSTEM ROAR LOUDLY WHILE CHARGING FROM A HOME 220V CHARGER.

OUR CAR WAS NON FUNCTIONING BECAUSE OF THE MCU NON FUNCTIONING. THE EMMC CHIP WAS DEFECTIVE AND TESLA STATED OUR ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE UNIT. WE DID, A RECALL WAS ISSUED AND NOW THEY STATE WE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND. TESLA STATES THAT THE CHIP SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED AND NOT THE UNIT EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS OUR ONLY OPTION GIVEN BY THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER.

I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES RELATED TO THE MAIN DISPLAY (MCU) ON MY TESLA MODEL S, INCLUDED FAILURE TO START WHEN THE CAR WAS POWERED UP, "CRASHING" DURING DRIVING, "LOCKING" OR "FREEZING" OF ENTERTAINMENT SCREENS ONTO THE DISPLAY THAT REMAIN EVEN WHILE DRIVING, AND SLOW RESPONSE TO INSTRUCTIONS. IT WAS INITIALLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH A REMANUFACTURED MCU1 UNIT IN FEBRUARY 2020. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND I SCHEDULED SERVICE TWO MORE TIMES DURING 2020 AND TESLA REFUSED TO REPLACE THE HARDWARE EACH TIME. THEY SAID THEY "CLEARED THE MEMORY" AND "RESET THE FIRMWARE". THIS SOLVED THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS BUT THE PROBLEMS RETURNED, SOMETIMES WITHIN DAYS. I HAVE HEARD ANECDOTALLY THAT TESLA REDUCED DATA LOGGING TO TRY AND PRESERVE THE LIFE OF THESE UNITS; IRONICALLY, I BELIEVE, THIS RESULTS IN TESLA SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING LOGGED AND THUS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE HARDWARE. IN JANUARY OF 2021, OUT...

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE TOUCH SCREEN SUDDENLY FROZEN DURING DRIVING AROUND 12:35 P.M. DEC. 28 2020. (THE EXACT DATE COULD NOT REMEMBERED, BUT I HAVE FILE WITH TESLA ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED). THE WIND SHIELD GOT FROG UP VERY FAST. I COULD NOT TURN ON DEFROST AND ALMOST HAVE A COLLISION DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. I HAD TO USE PAPER TO CLEAN THE MOISTER OF THE WIND SHIELD AND SO THE VISIBILITY WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME SAFELY.

TOTAL LOSS OF DISPLAY IN THE MIDDLE CONSOLE KEEPS GOING BLACK, TOTAL LOSS OF TURN SIGNALS, SUSPENSION CONTROL, HEATER CONTROLS, DE FOG AND DE ICE, NO REAR CAMERA, NO CRUISE CONTROL, HIGH LOW BEAMS,NO ABILITY TO USE FOG LAMPS. PLUS MANY MORE THINGS TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST. I TOOK IT TO SERVICE DEPT AND THEY DID A TEMP FIX FOR $150 BUT TOLD ME IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN AND IT DID THE VERY NEXT MORNING. SOMETHING TO DO WHAT'S CALLED THE MCU MEMORY FAILING. ITS GONE DARK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MANY DIFFERENT DATES. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. MAKES THE VEHICLE IN MY ESTIMATION MORE LIKELY TO GET INTO A CRASH

MY TOUCHSCREEN WENT OUT (ALL BLACK) A YEAR AGO. THE REPLACEMENT WAS A REFURBISHED ONE. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS. WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS IMPROVED, I WAS TOLD IT'S THE SAME BUT HAS A NEW TWO-YEAR WARRANTEE. NOW A YEAR LATER, IT IS STARTING TO "ACT UP" LIKE THE FIRST. ADD TO THAT, THE LAST THREE ROAD TRIPS WITH IT EACH HAD SOMETHING BREAK ON IT OR NEEDED ATTENTION. AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR 800 MILES FROM HOME IN AUGUST 2019. DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE EXTENDING GEAR. AND 12V BATTERY, ONLY TO LEARN WEEKS LATER THAT IT WAS "FIXED" WITH A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE, IF YOU BREAKDOWN ON A TRIP? THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE. I'M GOING TO GET RID OF IT. JUST ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF UNHAPPY OWNERS.

THE TOUCH SCREEN FREEZES, BLACKS OUT, AND BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE. THIS IS DUE TO A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MCU. TESLA HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES BUT MY CAR HAS 106,000 MILES SO IS INELIGIBLE AND THE REPAIR IS THOUSAND OF DOLLARS. THIS ISSUE STARTED BEFORE THE CAR HAD 100,000 MILES BUT TESLA DIDN'T OFFER THE REPAIR UNTIL NOVEMBER, 2020 BY WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 100,000 MILES. WITHOUT THE TOUCH SCREEN MOST VEHICLE CONTROLS CANNOT BE ACCESSED WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE STARTED ON 5/10/2019 AND CONTINUE TO OCCUR ALMOST DAILY.

1. REPLACED MCU, AT MY COST. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER A LESSER EXPENSIVE FIX WAS ANNOUNCED. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THAT ANNOUNCEMENT TESLA NOTIFIED ME THAT I MAY FALL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IT TURNS OUT THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT (114,000) IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PURCHASE THE CAR AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM TESLA WITH 22,000 MILES. MY OWNERSHIP MILES WAS UNDER 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE REPLACEMENT. CONSIDERING THE FAILURES OF THE MCU IN OLDER MODEL VEHICLES, AND A KNOWN PROBLEM, I WOULD THINK I WOULD BE COVERED. 2. DOOR HANDLES - ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE OWNERSHIP. AGAIN, A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE DESIGN. ALL BUT ONE REPLACEMENT WERE COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE. THE LAST REPLACEMENT WAS DONE AFTER 14 MONTHS FROM THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT. TESLA...

THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL SCREEN IS FAILING AS THE GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE GLASS AND UNABLE TO VIEW ICONS ON THE PANEL. TELSA IS NOT GOING TO REPLACE UNLESS 1500 IS PAID FOR REPLACEMENT WITH UPDATED SCREEN THAT DOES NOT SEPARATE FROM THE GLASS. SOME PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT AS BUBBLING OR IMPRESSION OF WATER MARKS BEHIND THE GLASS BUT IT IS THE GLUE FAILING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. FOR THE WHEEL ISSUE, THE TPMS SYSTEM IS FAILING AND TELSA WILL NOT REPLACE UNLESS 1K IS PAID TO "UPGRADE" THE SYSTEM.
