While driving in autopilot my mcu (tesla controller) occasionally fails. This means the autopilot computer works fine but all audio notifications do not work. The autopilot will change lanes for me without the normal auditory notification. Turn signals are silent. The mcu will then completely freeze (no touch input and GPS frozen while driving) requiring either a manual reboot by myself or it crashes completely and reboots itself. 5 visits to my service center in the past 13 months of ownership to address this issue have not resulted in a resolution. They tell me they "flashed the storage" or "upgraded the firmware" but the car continues to prove this did not resolve the issue. Autopilot functioning without notifying the user of maneuvers could be deadly. It is a self driving car but still requires drivers to pay attention and take over if autopilot makes a faulty decision. I have videos of this happening. Attached I have uploaded invoices from the service center showing I have brought mcu failure issues to them on multiple occasions and continue to have issues. Note that line item 14 on the invoice dated 01132021 tesla inaccurately states my no audio on automatic lane change issue. I requested they rephrase this issue to the issue I reported but they refuse to put this in writing. Why? Suspicious.

Touchscreen failure in either complete black screen or unresponsive during driving. In additional, partial function loss of the instruction panels in the mean time. This is happening once every few months that force me have to stopped on the road to reboot/deep rest the system. When its failed I loss view of rear camera, cannot operate HVAC (defogging) light, and loss of the parking assistant support. Furthermore I suspect this defects also renders my internal web browser unusable and covertly losing of navigation voice prompt. I aware the cause of this issue from the federal safety agency investigation ea-20-003. However, when contact tesla for this issue they simply refuse to fix the defects emmc citing I have to provide specific date and time of failure, which is unreasonable unless the driver is already aware the detail of this defects and taking specific note for the occurrence. However, I luckily made a note for the occurrence at the time, but tesla still refuse to replace the defects unit citing they loss the log of my incident. Then, they pushed a software upgrade simply defer the problem from happening. Furthermore, in this pandemic situation, many people are trying to avoid of going out as much as possible. My point is their defects already cause materialized damage to the emmc, which has a fixed lifespan for the cycle of writes. It should be required a recall for these defects device will failed sooner or later.
