2016 Tesla Model X lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Main computer system died. All screens stopped functioning (including speedometer). Car wouldnt lock/unlock. Tesla said the mcu had to be replaced and they were going to charge me because it was 5 days out of warranty.
While highway driving the main mcu froze due to a manufacturer known memory corruption defect and would not reboot. This defect failure impacts access and control of the following safety features, turn signals, emergency brake, emergency battery disconnect, fog lights (front and rear), auto high beams, rear pedestrian camera, suspension (inability to disable auto leveling for tire changing or towing), traction control slip start, side mirror adjustments. Battery safety limits for acceleration and regen based on environmental temperature safety limits are also disabled. This mcu failure also prevents refueling (l3 dcfc stations). As well as the HVAC system from being turned off while parked. Which continued to drain the primary battery for several hours. The odometer is also not available, as well as the hands free bluetooth feature and other non safety features. The initial incident occurred under warranty. The manufacturer switched to a backup memory partition to repair or workaround the defect issue temporarily. Within 3 months, less than 1,000 miles later, the backup partition also became permanently corrupted and required a complete replacement of the unit, out of warranty.
