    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    My steering wheel would vibrate above 80 and was fixed. Steering still feels like it doesn't return to center which makes it a little hard to keep it going straight.

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    My service center was able to fix my steering issue. BIG THANK YOU to them and the service tech that diagnosed it!

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Just wanted to check back and see if anyone found a solution. I’ve started noticing my MS steering shake at times. Can actually get it to repeat when turning the wheel sometimes.

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    My MS sometimes feels stable with tight steering and sometimes loose. Not sure why. My service person recommended that we go online and recommend that Tesla adjust the steering to be more stiff. Said that they tend to make changes based more on owners recommenfations and less from service...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    My MS loaner with old fascia had rock solid and firmer steering that drove straight without having to constantly adjust it. I'm not sure what was changed but it sure isn't an improvement. I have also put the steering mode to comfort which makes the steering less twitchy. I'll try checking the...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    I'm not having much luck either but notice that the steering stiffness changed on my MS. I've tried switching from normal to sport and don't notice any difference whereas before, it would get stiffer in sport mode.

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Duke, please keep us updated if your alignment holds. I thought my issue was resolved after an alignment and changing to 21 inch staggered wheels but a few weeks later the unstable feeling came back. I'm hoping tesla figures this out soon.

    The Duke, thanks for your advice. Are you located in southern California? If so, what shop did you use for your alignment.

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Smart Electric- we are here to try and help owners that are experiencing similar issues. No one has said anything about it being a Tesla issue so not sure why you responded that way. I started this topic to see if anyone had similar issues and was able to get to find a solution.

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    The swaying is there on both 19 and 21 inch tires which were both brand new and balanced. It was worse on the 19 inch OEM Good Year. The last time it was in service, tesla said it was common on the 19 inch wheels and that's part reason I got the 21 with Michelins pilots. I did a search and...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Well bad news. After driving more on the new 21 inch wheels, I can feel the swaying. It's not as bad as the 19 inch wheels but it's there. I find myself having to always try and keep the car going straight. It feels floaty. Also kind of feels like the rear tracks left and right at times...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    The Buena Park service center redid the alignment and torqued all suspension bolts but that did not help. My service advisor looked on the bulletine and said that it's been a common complaint and they've attributed it to the 19 inch MS cars. I finally decided to get the 21 inch staggered...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Thanks for the suggestion on the alignment. I've been doing some searching and have found some old post back in 2013 of similar issues. The fix back then was replacing washers on the rear axle. I told that to the Costa Mesa service center but they said that issue was fixed. I'm going to try...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    I had a tech ride with me but that did not help. For some reason he thought it was normal. I also had an off centered steering wheel and they still didn't get it dialed right. Hoping someone had same issue fixed recently so I can point them in right direction. I've searched and found old...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    Has any owners with Sep 2016 delivery noticed the steering feel unstable and swaying or drifting right and left? I just had my MS 75 with coil suspension in for service but they couldn't figure it out. I also ran into another owner who overheard me explaining my issues and he had the same...

    Production Quality Issues at Delivery?

    I also had a September 30th delivery and have issues with the hood and fender alignment, door alignment, creased dashboard, off centered steering wheel, clear coat flaw on hood and an issue with the car swaying left and right like a gust of wind pushing it. The rear suspension also feels stiff...
