Tesla, the auto giant revolutionizing the car industry, is under investigation for two of its most popular vehicles, the Model 3 and Model Y. It appears that several consumers have noticed that the steering wheels of the vehicles freeze up randomly and without warning.
This issue has apparently affected a number of Model 3 and Model Y owners, according to reports online. Tesla is now facing an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over safety issues related to the steering wheels freezing.
The NHTSA’s investigation comes after numerous customer complaints about the issue. It appears the freezing is mainly happening in Tesla’s latest cars, with the issue being reported in both the Model 3 and Model Y in some cases.
The issue seems to be related to a software version, according to some reports, and the fix may be a simple update. Tesla has yet to comment on the matter, but the company is known for making frequent software updates for its vehicles, so a fix may be coming soon.
Safety is the top priority for Tesla, and the company takes customer complaints seriously. It is not yet clear if this issue is widespread or if it is a more isolated issue. However, with the NHTSA now involved, it’s clear that the authorities are taking the issue seriously.
The NHTSA will be investigating the matter and issuing a report to the public soon. Until then, customers should report any strange behavior from their steering wheels to Tesla immediately for further investigation.
Tesla has become a leader in the automotive field, and this investigation could potentially deal a serious blow to the company’s reputation. We will have to wait and see how the NHTSA investigation progresses and what they find.
