My M3P at 13k miles started throwing multiple error codes whenever I hit a significant bump, or if I brake hard or corner aggressively. I got errors Stability control disabled, Steering assist disabled, Auto pilot disabled, traction control disabled, regenerative braking disabled, ABS disabled, and a bunch of others. The car still drives OK except for the heavy steering and lack of regen. If I stop and put it in park and do a "Power Off", I can immediately start it up and it is fine, until the next bump.
I booked an appointment with the Palo Alto service center, only two weeks away. It's a good thing I don't drive much these days, driving it this way is "interesting".
Before taking it to Tesla, I took the car to Redwood Motorsports to have them check out the Sport coilover setup they installed to be sure there is nothing that might cause this; all looks good.
I took the car to the appointment and was gifted with a rental Model S while they looked at it (I really prefer my car!). Four days later they call me to say they have to charge me $800 to look at the car because of the aftermarket suspension bits; I reluctantly approved the charge. It sounds like in spite of having an appointment, the car sat in their shop for four days before they even looked at it, meanwhile paying $100 a day for the rental. A few hours later they called me to say the car is all fixed, no charge, covered by warranty.
When I picked up the car I asked what they fixed. Both front wheel sensors were replaced because they are "worn out"! How in the world do wheel sensors wear out, especially in only 13K miles? The sensor doesn't touch anything, it senses the teeth going by on the wheel hub. I asked the service tech if there was some preventive maintenance I should do to prevent a recurrence, and he said I might put tape around the connectors - huh? The tech did say they were impressed with the suspension.
I am not what to think of this, sensors the car uses for a bunch of stuff, two wearing out at the same time in 13K. At least when it happens again I will just order the parts and put them in myself, a lot less trouble.
