Tesla Model Y Photo: Tesla In June, another driver reported leaving a shopping mall in Alpharetta, Georgia in their two-week-old Tesla Model Y when “suddenly steering wheel did not steer. It was hard and saw the alert. Went to very close to opposite side of traffic and some how made it to across the road inside the shopping center.”
In April, a driver reported that the power steering was disabled and told NHTSA that the car was unsafe to drive. “Tesla has moved my service visit from May 2 to May 25 due to a backlog of parts. They confirmed this is a recently known issue and noted the steering rack might be replaced entirely,” the customer wrote in his complaint.
