Tesla Model S Change Vehicle

"Display screen froze and could not operate the car except to drive. Simple rebooting fixed the problem"

"Strange problems with display screen suddenly occurred after around 2 years of use - Tesla replaced with new, upgrade screen at no cost"

"Driver display screen froze and needed to be replaced. Tesla picked the car up and took it to the nearest service center, replaced it (warrantee) and had it back to me the next day"

"computer broke and display freezes so the whole system needs to be restarted. Costs $3,000 to replace!"

"Tesla made several attempts to repair the problem through software and eventually replaced the display screen. The new screen has started to exhibit quirks as well."

"have to reset every other month"

"Touchscreen replaced under warranty"

"This was an unusual problem that caused them to keep the car for a week to check it out. We were given a loaner of a higher-trim model than ours for that time"

"Display screen computer broke, had to get it replaced"

"These are all related, I think. I have a large screen in the center of the dash. This sometimes doesn't come on, at all. This doesn't prevent me from driving, but does prevent my closing the garage door from the car, and using the nav, music, etc."

"The main display screen went blank. Repaired by Tesla."

"Screen goes blank shutting all electronics. Car still drives. Screen goes blank even when parked. Have lost phone conversations and had to pull over to call someone back. I have to reset a whole bunch of preferences on how I want to drive the car."

"The infotainment system computer failed and had to be replaced."

"Instrument cluster behind steering wheel went black and would not come back up. Service Center said I had to replace the instrument cluster, which I did."

"Screen freezes and requires a reboot. Occasionally there are other screen-related problems."

"Display occasionally fails to load when starting the car."

"Firmware update to my car screwed up USB file browsing, also broke TuneIn radio playback when pausing or taking a phone call for about 6 months until it was fixed in latest 8.1 update"

"Center console touchscreen began to leak a clear sticky goo and bubbles appeared in the screen. Even though the screen continued to work, I was advised to replace it because the goo could cause electrical problems. OUT OF WARRANTY. $1500 repair. I have heard that this is a common problem for this model year. Car is in covered parking at home and at work. I believe that this should be a RECALL issue. Perhaps don't recall all cars, but extend warranty for the screen."

"Took the vehicle in for routine maintenance. The service tech noticed the LCD screen was starting to fail. I had them replace it."

"Screen defect, inch square unusable pixels. Replaced under CPO warranty"

"Map disappears in areas with poor or no satellite reception (due to the fact that the map is 'on board' the car's computer system). With regards to "Drive system". The "drive train" (motor) was replaced under warranty"

"NOT able to turn OFF radio frequency emissions on car (bluetooth/cell/wifi type) without the nav unit and other functionality being extremely limited or eliminated. Caused me headaches and exacerbated a cancerous tumor in me, as these frequencies g"

"The 3G radio locks up rendering the navigation unit useless. Need to reset the console to restore the 3G radio. Also the map updates are out of date and the system makes peculiar route suggestions"

"This is an ongoing problem that they've looked at several times. It still happens and I have to re-pair the phone"

"Pairs & unpairs continuously"

"Occassionally wont pair requiring system to be restarted"

"reception inferior to radios in all my previous cars. AM static under overpasses, near power lines. Have been complaining for 3 years. Service has worked on the car to no avail. OEM tires lasted only 13,000 miles. In all other respects, this is a fine car, a pleasure to own and drive"

"I got into a small accident in October. They had my car until the end of December. They had problems doing the software update. I started having the screen issues, couldn't complete an update and took it in. Tesla said the OS on the drive was corrupted. They reformatted and restored the info. I also got a new 12V battery but I and still having issues with the screen not powering on."

"it has caused phone pairing issues for a year +"

"Best I can tell voice recognition has never worked, but it is not a feature I care about and have only tried a couple times. I have only recently discovered problem when trying (unsuccessfully) to use the bug report feature"

"I already explained this. Your survey can be difficult to follow"

"Roof vent seal became loose"

"Rear lift gate didn't seal out rain water. When the lift gate was raised, the water poured out of the lift gate and soaked the rear trunk area of the car. The drain plugs were in place. I removed the solid drain plugs and replaced them with drain plugs provided by Tesla. Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Also the rear tail light would fog up due to water getting this area."

"Leaks in rear hatch, including rain water filling tail lights."

"Brake pedal squeaked and was lubricated"

"Squeak, infrequent, but coming from back seat, passenger side. Can't pin-point location"

"roof squeak - fixed - also had nosisy a/c compressor - fixed at normal service time"

"Panoramic roof rattles and squeaks on unlevel ground"

"I have the panoramic roof, which requires lube and adjustment by the service center to continue to operate properly"

"Pano Roof squeaks. Needs adjusment (already serviced once)"

"The car is so very silent when driving that minor squeaks and rattles that you wouldn't be able to hear in a gasoline engine car become very annoying. Tesla service has been great about working to fix any and all squeaks & rattles"

"I had a number of issues with rattles, usually in the A or B pillar and there was also an issue with the panoramic roof. All issues were fixed"

"Seatbelt tensioner has an occasional rattle Have not brought it to the attention of the dealer as yet Waiting for the next service"

"Noise from right passenger door window. Seal was not properly installed at plant. Seal replaced. Problem solved"

"Frameless door windows do not seal well."

"Noise from rear drive unit. Fully replaced under warranty. No mechanical failure"

"The seal on the driveshaft allowed moisture to enter and rusted the wires. The car stopped suddenly and was unable to drive anywhere. Telsa replaced the whole driveshaft under warranty ($7,000). Had the car returned the next day"

"The Drive unit failed upon acceleration"

"Buzz at low torque and whine at high speed"

"A module on the management control bus went bad affecting other systems, causing the car to act erratically, needing repair"

"Software firmware update reported to cause special D.C. D.C. fuse to fail, which required replacement at dealer service center"

"There was a warning light. A new battery was required (the big battery that is the entire bottom of the car). It took a long time for them to get the battery in stock. When it finally went in for service it took 2 weeks to get the car back. However, they did provide a loaner of the same car type"

"Battery pack motherboard failure. Battery pack sent to factory to replace. Used a substitute battery pack until original returned."

"DC/DC converter failure resulted in complete AC shutdown"

"I drove through a tropical deluge and created a short in the battery, it had to be replaced"

"Car had a corroded wire that separated the computer from engine and the car was not able to drive. Tesla paid for the repair 100% under warranty, (passed 5 year, 50,000 warranty, but this was consider part of the drivetrain warranty for 125,000 miles) as well as the tow to the shop. Received the car back the next day. It was an inconvenience, but they responded quickly to fix and had a new improved corrosion resistant cable in stock."

"Power inverter for the climate system failed and was replaced for approxx $2000"

"A failure on the rear tire sensor caused failure of ABS, ESC and Traction Control simultaneously. This happened during winter snows and any slippage would entirely disable these systems and regen braking, making the car difficult, scary and unsafe to drive until it reset after driving about half a mile. Replacing the sensor cost $150 and all is now well again, but it was a rough week!"

"Vehicle suddenly lost all power to the wheels. It whirled and clicked but would not move. Vehicle was towed, repaired in two one day and returned free of charge."
