GPS, camera and VCFRONT_a59 errors

[Alex Tenuki]

Hi,

Yesterday, the car "assistance" tools stopped working. The car had been resting on an airport parking for a couple of weeks. Battery at pickup was 40%. Drove home and everything collapsed after 15 minutes of driving:
-no GPS
-no camera
-no cruise control

On the other hand, car makes a high pitch fan noise when comes out of sleep.

Tried soft and hard reset. Update is pending, it downloads but doesn't install it.
Service mode shows VCFRONT_a59_InutResistanceHigh error.
In the cooling section, the fan goes from 2300 on idle to over 4000 when I exit the service menu.

The appointment has not even been considered by Tesla, and I'm supposed to go on a family trip in a couple of days...

Any suggestion?

You can start by providing more details about your vehicle. Model, year, RWD/AWD, LR or Std? We can't help you. Why is it that all first time posters just state the problem and not the platform. Sorry to come across like a pendecho, but it is difficult to help you without this vital info. If it is under warranty Tesla must help you.

... Makes complete sense.

It's a Tesla model 3 AWD from year 2021. Warranty expired two months ago. No external app or anything is connected to the car, rather than the official app.

I had a similar problem a few months after the initial purchase and the changed the onboard computer. So, the new onboard computer should be under warranty.

Alex,
I would escalate to Tesla and advocate that this is a repeat issue. This makes no sense at all that they did not do the "right thing". I would escalate to a regional or national, senior person.

Do you do an excessive amount of km's? Wow! My 2021 M3 LRAWD only has 28,000 km's on it. I will probably be red before my warranty runs out - yes, I'm an old man.

I've got 66000 Kms on it. Yes, we use it quite a lot.

They replaced the onboard computer and solved the issue, it hasn't repeated for over a year (and it used to happen almost every month). It doesn't make sense for the problem to be back.

And I sense the warrant won't cover it and I'll have fill a lawsuit...

Checking the service menu: PT Pump and Battery pump go wild whenever I activate the car. From 2300ish to 4000.
All temperatures are around 30 Celsius.
