2022 Tesla Model X Powertrain & Transmission Problems

The vehicle presents a compounded safety defect creating a risk of passenger entrapment and high-voltage fire. 1. High Voltage Manufacturing Defect: On September 3, 2024, authorized Tesla Service technicians diagnosed a critical safety fault. The service record states technicians 'found A/C compressor HV harness was incorrectly routed, rubbing against the steering column' and 'found sand inside the connector'. Tesla repaired this defects under the 'Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty,' confirming it was a factory assembly error. This defect created an imminent risk of a high-voltage short to the steering column, which could result in driver electrocution or total vehicle power loss at speed. 2. Passenger Entrapment: The vehicle has a documented history of Rear Falcon Wing Door failure (7 repair attempts from April 2023 to May 2025). The doors frequently fail to latch or open. On July 8, 2025, the Left Rear Door failed to open due to a sensor fault. 3. Combined Hazard: If the incorrectly routed High Voltage harness causes a vehicle power failure, the rear doors' electronic latches will fail. Because the doors have a history of mechanical jamming, passengers in the rear seats would be trapped in a vehicle with a compromised High Voltage system.

A couple of days ago, when I was dropping off my child at school, I parked in a spot that required parallel parking to save time as I was in a rush. After reversing into the spot, I just needed to move forward a bit by 1-2 feet. I naturally slide the gear shift up on the screen. Unfortunately, it didn't slide into place, and the car was still in reverse (R), but I didn't realize it. I was already very close to the car behind me. When I pressed the accelerator, the car continued to back up. Luckily, I slammed the brake, avoiding a collision. Just wanted to share that even after a year and a half of driving a Model X, mistakes can still happen. After reading what happened to [XXX] , I posted what happened to me on a social platform and someone else shared they had a similar experience that needed up with a crash. So I decided to report mine and encouraged them to do the same. I like the minimalist design but I need to stay alive to enjoy it. As Tesla is moving away from stalkless design in more models, I hope they can do something to make the current shift more noticeable.

I was driving my Tesla model X in interstate I35 with FSD turned on. After 45 minutes of FSD, I felt the car slowed down. I immediately push the accelerator to speed it up but it didn't help and the car quickly fully stopped. I again pushed accelerator but the car won't move at all and my car block one of the two lanes of north bound I35 in Gainesville area. I was forced to reboot the car as the car won't move. Several minutes later, the car finally rebooted successfully and I immediately drove to exit I35. As I had no idea why the car stopped itself so I didn't feel to continue driving it and had the car towed back. From the trip data on my phone, it shows "hard breaking" prior to all this abnormal happened. I am sure that no break panel was pushed as my foot is on the floor mat as the car was driven by the FSD. The most serious problem is I couldn't speed it up after the car "hard breaking" itself and I had to reboot the car in order to make the car moving. I have the car service by Tesla but they don't have any explanation for me yet. It will be difficult to reproduce the problem. It can only be found by Tesla by looking into the stored driving data.
