Running some errands this morning and when I got back to our Model X, it had a bunch of warnings, Autodriving features disabled, sentry mode not active, etc. I didn’t realized that one of the errors was “steering assist reduced” EPAS_w001. I didn’t pay much attention to it and I thought it was related to my 51 miles SOC. I was about 8 miles from the Supercharger, so I just went about my day.
4 miles into my drive, I was approaching a left turn intersection, and as I was making the left trying to beat oncoming traffic, the steering wheel felt like it locked up - it was so heavy that it required a brute amount of force. Oncoming car had to do a full stop a few feet away from me.
I managed to finish the turn and pull into the shoulder. When the nerves finally settled, I completely turned the car off and rebooted the MCU. Continued on to the supercharger despite the EPAS_w001 error still appearing, but the steering wheel hasn’t locked up anymore. Made it home ok, but took local roads.
I already submitted a service request from the app, and now I’m afraid to drive this thing. Anyone else had this experience? 2019 MX 100D, pre-Raven, June 2019 delivery.
