2019 Tesla Model X Steering Problems

There was a recall on these cars (22V-818) and manufacture said a software update would solve the issue. But the actual issue is the I-shaft, which is not sealed on those cars. Now the manufacture is replacing the I- shaft, with the same issues which they said that was corrected with a software update, by charging customers thousands of dollars with sealed ones. All those cars having the issue which I am facing now. I have escaped a crash narrowly and it is dangerous.

I was just out of warranty and have a VERY loud squeaky noise when I turn my wheel. I was told that because of the weight of the battery, this can happen. I was told it was not an expensive fix but now they say it's $3,000. It is a known issue and the engineers didn't build to hold the car up properly with the weight of the battery. May be a potential hazard and I don't feel safe driving it and also hard to drive as loud as it is. If they are aware and have since fixed this issue, my car should be fixed at no cost to me. For the record, they took off the cost of the estimate and put all zeros which I also found to be odd.

I was told that I need to replace the full steering column (which costs over $5,600). I understand there are other open recalls on very similar issues for other Tesla vehicles. The car is 2019, Model X, with no prior accidents. I didn't want to put my family in any compromising situation due to a failed steering mechanism, so I opted to pay and have it replaced. I feel this issue needs to be escalated since other vehicles have the same (or similar) problem.

The power steering on My model X intermittently shuts off. When this occurs the car is impossible to control. This feels like an electronic issue as the car just as quickly can regain the power steering. Whenever this happens it is accompanied by a screen warning sayin that the power steering may have reduced functionality. The first time this happened was many months ago when the car was under full warranty Tesla now wants $ $4500.00 to correct this. The car now has 55 K miles on it and I consider this to be a defect.

HERE IS A MANGLED AND PARTIALLY BURNED MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://EREPAIRABLES.COM/SALVAGE-CARS-AUCTION/TESLA/MODEL+X/VID-46135539 THE BACK WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF AND IS STASHED IN THE FRUNK. ALL THE SUSPENSION LINKS ON THE BACK ARE STRETCHED AND SNAPPED, BUT THE WHEEL IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE STRETCHED LINKS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE CRASH. THE REAR OF THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IDIOTIC TO USE EXTRUDED ALUMINUM FOR CRITICAL SUSPENSION LINKS, THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE WEIGHT AND POWER OF THE CAR. THE DANGER ONLY INCREASES AS THE CARS GETS OLDER NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALSO BECAUSE CHEAPER SECONDHAND TESLAS ARE AFFORDABLE FOR YOUNG INEXPERIENCED AND OFTEN RECKLESS YOUNGER OWNERS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THAN YOU. KEEF

YOU HAVE OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO FRONT SUSPENSION FAILURES OF CERTAIN MODEL YEARS AND MODELS OF TESLAS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SUSPENSION WEAKNESSES AND FAILURES ARE AFFECTING ALL YEARS AND MODELS OF THESE CARS DUE TO BAD DESIGN, BAD MANUFACTURING AND BAD QUALITY ASSURANCE. THIS 2019 MODEL X IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE:HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/38309891?ROWNUMBER=17 THE BACK WHEEL HAS GONE WHOMPY. BOTH FRONT WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE BALL-JOINTS AND OTHER GIBLETS HAVE POPPED APART. GOOD HEAVENS TO BETSY WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED BEFORE YOU DEMAND A RECALL? ARE YOU WAITING FOR A BUS FULL OF CHILDREN TO GET OBLITERATED BY ONE OF THESE UNGUIDED MISSILES? DOES MUSK REALLY HAVE A LICENCE TO KILL? WORDS FAIL ME. (AND THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN) YOURS ANGRILY KEEF

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE AUTOPILOT FUNCTION THE CAR WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY SWERVE OUT OF THE LANE WHEN THE LANES WERE MERGING. AT OTHER TIMES IT WOULD SLAM ON THE BREAKS ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
