Narrative

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that after his wife had entered the parked vehicle and the driver's door was still open, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration, causing the vehicle to drive over a curb, into a ravine, and then crash into a tree. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was not filed due to the contact's wife not sustaining injuries. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired and was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it remained awaiting diagnosis and repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200. The contact noted that the actual failure mileage was 1,646.
