This year Tesla has a known "acceleration shutter" due to the front CV joints' angle being too sharp causing premature wear. I have been dealing with this issue since the vehicle was new. Tesla has replaced my CV joints 5-7 times and during the repairs they have left bolts out of the vehicle, left bolts loose and damaged the front drive unit so much by bad repair jobs they have had to replace the front drive unit twice. In the most recent episode, the motor mount has cracked and was making a loud banging noise under acceleration and declaration. Most concerning is the fact I found some brake lines not in their keepers and they were rubbing on this mount. (I have photos). I have had my vehicle at 3 different Tesla service centers and at least two are inadequate. My concern, especially with the loose and missing bolts, is...
Car has been sent to the shop twice for the axles / half shafts and also two times for the front drive unit
The contact owns a 2017 Tesla Model X. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH and other various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the issue would be documented. The failure mileage was approximately 97,649.
Pulling in to slowly park and sudden unanticipated acceleration-pushed car into brick roof support of building. Damage to bumper.
Car shudders at the acceleration. Service center said it’s a widely known issue with front half shaft and clevis mount. Tesla already admits it is a design fault but wouldn’t cover it under the drive unit warranty. Can nhtsa make it a recall? Thanks
I'M NOT FROM THE US, BUT WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALSO SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH MODEL X CARS IN EUROPE.

TESLA CALS THE PART FORE LINK ASSY LH (1041570-00-B). WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE FRONT A THE CAR CAME UP FOR 5 CENTIMETERS. IT HAPPENED ALSO DRIVING SLOWLY FORWARD. THE BIG RING ON THE END OF THIS PART (THE SITE THAT IS CONNECTED CLOSE TO THE WHEEL) WAS COMPLETELY TORN OPEN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN MY MODEL X ON LAWRENCE EXPRESSWAY (8-LANE EXPRESSWAY) IN SANTA CLARA, CA AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUSHED ON THE GAS AND NOTICED THAT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AND PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE MAIN SCREEN FLASHED SEVERAL WARNINGS THAT INCLUDED: PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING DISABLED. CAR NEEDS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED. STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED. I PUT ON THE BLINKERS, CALLED TESLA ROADSIDE AND THEY ASKED THAT I RESTART THE VEHICLE BY HOLDING THE 2 CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER BY DOING SO, WOULD STOP THE BLINKERS FROM BLINKING. I FELT THAT WOULD'VE BEEN UNSAFE BECAUSE I WAS IN LANE 2 HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON AN 8-LANE EXPRESSWAY, AND CARS WERE COMING FROM BEHIND ME PRETTY FAST. ROADSIDE ASKED THAT I CALL 911, WHICH I DID,...
