We got our Model Y 5 days ago. Today I was driving home and as I was turning left at an intersection the steering locked up and I could not turn the wheel at all. Very scary. I stopped the car basically blocking a lane of traffic. Had to get out of the car, lock it and then get in and start it up again. It worked and I was able to drive home. It happened to my husband yesterday but luckily in our driveway.
We called Tesla support and they told us to ‘reset’ the car; they said this issue happens “every now and then”. We have a service appointment next week.
To be honest now I’m scared to drive the car, or to let my sons drive it. I feel like just turning it in.
I’ve seen this has happened to a couple of other people on here, but I’m not clear on what the fix is/was. Can anyone tell me if they had this issue and if/how it was fixed?
