Read complaints for TESLA MODEL 3 (2017)


Shortly after purchasing the car it received a software download called emergency lane departure avoidance which is tesla's fancy name for a lane departure warning system. I have taken the car into their service centers 3 times to have it repaired because it only works <50% of the time - never works during rain, shadows on the road, and various other normal road & weather conditions. Each time i get the car back from the service centers i'm informed that that system is working normally. In late june of 2020 i purchased their basic auto-pilot software system for $2,170 which is a combination of both lane keeping assistance (tesla's self steering) and adaptive cruise control (tesla's traffic & road aware cruise control). This software has had "glitches" and malfunctions ever since the purchase. I contacted marie moore (assistant manager at tesla's bellevue, wa) about the issues and i was told that this software was a "self leaning" type and would improve with use. The first issue was the while driving on the freeway with auto-pilot engaged the car would veer right a few to several feet toward most on & off ramps un-nerving myself & passengers as well as getting close traffic upset enough that i would get honked at or worse. It gradually got better so that it would only veer right significantly less. However on 4/19 my car received a new software download that stated it would improve the auto-pilot & cold weather performance. I drove the car on a 140 mile freeway trip only to discover that the car would radically veer right on ~90% of all on ramps! twice it nearly jerked the steering wheel from my grip and attempted to steer completely off the freeway & onto the on ramp. I made an appointment at the lynnwood, wa service center on 4/26 and was told once again that the car was performing normally & there was nothing they could do; & same with cruise control issues

The autopilot system on my vehicle malfunctioned, leading to the vehicle colliding into a stationary road barrier at highway speeds. The vehicle sustained severe damage as a result of the collision and was no longer operable.

This is a complaint about a model 3 with a whompy wheel.https://www.iaai.com/vehicledetails/39345671?tenant=us&rownumber=0more importantly it is a complaint about the culture at tesla which allows substandard components to be fitted to all models of teslas and the company's refusal to comply with normal standards of quality control.this is yet another example.the back wheel has gone whompy because a suspension component snapped.the car continued to drive until the tire was completely worn through.rather than investigate the problem tesla pays off the owner and makes them sign an nda.every purchaser of a tesla signs an agreement comfiting them to arbitration rather than allowing a court action which would reveal the truth of what happened.nhtsa relies upon self regulation by respectable automakers.tesla is not a respectable company.quite the opposite.thank youkeef
