Yolk turn signal button issues. Does not register a click.

[Celledral]

My turn signal button works only 90% of the time. I have noticed this issue for over 10months of ownership. It would happen less frequently and was just a minor annoyance. But now it’s getting to the point of happening once on a drive.

Due to its frequent occurrence, I find myself missing turns or just overshooting my destination to avoid an accident. Yes, It’s LA and everyone tailgates so it’s quite a concern for me.

It’s definitely a Tesla and not a BMW. (Joke)

Here’s a video of me clicking on it constantly. It would start working maybe 10-15 seconds later. Anyone having the same issue?

Sounds like the touch sensor is failing. I'd have Tesla fix it.

Did you end up having to get his fixed? At first when this happened to me I thought I was pressing in the wrong spot, but today it definitely didn't work for one right turn, was fine for the next right turn

I find the right turn always works, but sometimes I get the wrong placement on the left turn and have to move my thumb. So while you state its not bad placement in your case, I just wanted to mention that the left signal seems more finicky some of the time

Yes, I am hoping it is just user error, but today it seemed like the button area wouldn't move at all when I pressed it, almost like it was stuck "down" (or maybe up?)

I got the yoke replaced 3 weeks ago, but it’s worse than before. Still only works 80% of the time and now the right one has issues as well. The vibrate “Taptic” also feels more tacky, less like a click.

This is happening to me also on my brand new 2023 MX. Have you been able to resolve the issue? The buttons are frustrating enough to use when they do work, last thing I need is for them to not work.

My car did not have this issue. I then changed the yoke to a wheel and I noticed the issue immediately. It has to do with the glue behind the trim panel or the lack there of. If you remove all of the old glue like I did when you press the directional the button sinks into an empty cavity because there is nothing behind the button anymore. It’s a bit of an air gap between the button and the wheel. If you put a piece of rubber or anything to fill that gap then the press with your finger actually presses the button rather than just sinking that button into the empty cavity.

I realize this might not be the best explanation as it is hard to explain so maybe I will re write it at some point but I went from a perfect directional to a 50% directional back to a perfect directional once I placed something behind the button to take up that space.

with the price of eggs nowadays, OP's yolk may be worth a bundle

It is definitely not a user error. IT IS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL that is failing when this occurs. I've had the yolk replaced twice on my 2022 Model S and the issue has not been resolved. This is major a defect and Tesla needs to address it.

My issue actually went away right after installing the latest software update.

Yep, I thought the same until the issue came back.

I am having this same exact issue. Mine has a 09/21 build date. Have yours been resolved?

I’ve been on a road trip in my 2023 Model S and am experiencing the same issue with the left turn signal (yoke wheel). It happened once with the right turn signal. I tried to make a service appointment while staying in RI, but they had nothing available while I was still in town. Guess I’ll have to take care of it when I’m back home. My car is running 2023.32.4.

I have had the same issue! Just scheduling THIRD appointment with service center. This feels unsafe to me when driving.

What did the service center do the first two times? They replaced my yoke and I haven’t had the issue since.
