Today, I was at a signal couple minutes from home and waiting to turn right. The steering wheel froze and 'Autopilot safety/convenience features unavailable ' message popped up. When I tried to turn the wheel it was resisting and I could feel some vibration as you can see from the video. I was blocking the traffic but I had no way to move the car. The acceleration did nothing and the car was undriveable.
I called up road side assistance and they asked me to do a couple of reboots and a power reset .But nothing helped. So they ended up towing the car. I had to wait for 2 hours for the tow truck to show up. But overall it was a very scary exp and I hope the service center figures out the issue as I don't want to have the steering wheel freeze when on a highway.
I had not turned on autopilot or anything and I don't understand why the warning message is about autopilot being unavailable. Also, the issue appeared out of no where and only two weeks back I had my 2 year service done.
BTW, mine is a Model S,75D, Dec 2016 built HW 2.0 car.
Has anyone had a similar experience ? What was the fix ?
