Vehicle experienced PCS (Power Conversion System/DC-DC converter) failure, rendering it completely undrivable—no 12V power, cannot charge or start. PCS is physically integrated inside high-voltage battery pack per service manuals. High-voltage battery warranty active (8yr/120k miles). Tesla service denies coverage citing "associated component" in vague emails—provided only general warranty table, no specific exclusion language despite repeated requests for exact quote/formal written denial. Escalated to managers: Offered "view-only" internal service bulletin on screen at meeting—no print/copy/photo allowed. Explicitly refused formal written denial letter.

Since I purchased the car 4 months ago my car has been going into the service center non stop for every issue you can imagine. Tesla spins and blames all issues and ignores me. Corporate says they can’t do anything and then ignore. Service center providing inaccurate or not providing service invoices.Deny my buyback requests. Repairs are failed and new damage occurs at every service appointment. New issues arise with the car every time I drive it. I rarely drive it as it’s not safe. Tesla continually cancels service appointments or does not have parts in stock. issues: -Safety restaurant system fault -electric motor issues: loud high pitched whistle/whine when driving. -car loosing power while driving -seat moving while driving -window clicking -water dripping out of dash vents. -Misalignments: frunk, trunk, trim -paint drips, bubbles, cracks, peeling -battery range issues -battery coolant fan issues -defects interior plastic surfaces -seat defects...

Front motor of 3-week-old Tesla Model Y became disabled while driving on a highway at 65 mph. This meant the car also lost power steering, traction control, and ABS braking. Car was limited to top speed of around 40 mph on a busy highway with very little room to pull over. Car was difficult to steer and braking was greatly reduced. There was no advanced warning of this. Was finally able to pull over, exit and reenter the vehicle, which temporarily corrected the problem. However, when the car was started the next day, the front motor was disabled again, but resolved when the car was restarted. The car was not driven again until Tesla service center was contacted and car was taken in for repair. On the way to the service center, the issue occurred again. The alerts included “Front motor disabled - OK to drive. Vehicle power may be...

Electrical system had 7 alerts/warning scroll on screen. Said vehicle was going to shut down. Regenerative braking system failed. Pulled car into a parking spot. Vehicle would not go into park so I could not take foot off of brake. Started to shift between park and neutral randomly. Was told by Tesla to reboot car. Did this three times, but nothing changed. Tesla dealership reproduced and confirmed. There were no warnings or messages before the incident.
