Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has any advice with the arbitration process. How to get it started, do I need a lawyer, any useful information, etc.
My issues is this:
2022 Model S with the following issues that Tesla is not able to fix:
- Car pulls hard left on acceleration and on regen. Otherwise it goes straight. They keep performing an alignment, it makes it better (but not fixed) for a bit but then it is off again just a few hundred miles later. They keep charging me for this alignment too.
- Car's steering yoke is never centered after an alignment, rather it is off to the left. They say it is within standards.
- Car is vibrating through 40-60 mph when under acceleration and anytime when cornering and accelerating at the same time. I.e. when you join into traffic in an intersection. (Same as many others are reporting in the long vibration thread.)
... and I also have a long list of other service issues that the car was in for, including a drive unit replacement that took 3-4 weeks. Those issues were addressed though. Car is still under bumper to bumper. It is a lease btw. So I am not sure what to ask for. I would be happy if they would just take it back and refund me for the down time.
Tomorrow I have a service scheduled, which will be my last attempt to get it fixed. I already know they will not do a thing as they have been super arrogant all along. I just figured I will make one recent attempt as the last time I was in was a few weeks ago.
Thanks for any help!
