    Drive Unit Repair SCAL Independent Shop

    After driving fine for 6 months, the error came back. We have replaced the speed sensor and wire. It seems the PRND issue occurs after the car idle for few days. The error is attached. Any thoughts ?

    Drive Unit Repair SCAL Independent Shop

    I am kinda surprised when the SC told me the drive unit. I told them that the DU has been replaced in 2017 due to noise/buzzing issue. Do we as customer has to pay $8K every 4 years ? I finally get on hold with Tony EvFixMe and made apt with him. I will let you know the outcome.

    The car stopped while driving (in the stop sign) and PRND turned to red. It re-started by itself. It occurred twice within 3 weeks period

    Drive Unit Repair SCAL Independent Shop

    I don’t think I have the gut to DIY. The drive unit has been replaced once in 2017 around 90k under warranty. The car still drives fine but I am debating to spend $$$ versus just selling the car. I called Tony at EVFixMe but he has not responded yet.

    Drive Unit Repair SCAL Independent Shop

    I have model 2013 Model S that the Drive Unit likely needs replacement (per service center). The car has 180k miles. Do you know independent service center in SCAL that can perform this ? SC quoted me close to $8k. Much appreciated of your help
