Tesla Model 3 2020: problemas, reclamações e recalls

Mais Constante

A NHTSA recebeu 447 reclamações de proprietários sobre o Tesla Model 3 2020, ou seja, 67,0 por ano em circulação: mais reclamações que o habitual para um veículo dessa idade (índice de reclamações 1,59; 1,00 é a média de todos os veículos acompanhados). Entre os 82 veículos do ano-modelo 2020 que acompanhamos, fica em 67º lugar por menos reclamações ao ano. Em relação a outros modelos Tesla, sua taxa é praticamente igual; em relação a outros Veículos elétricos, é 19 % maior.

Os números são normalizados pelo tempo em circulação, não pelas vendas: um modelo popular gera mais relatos do que um raro, e as queixas não são verificadas uma a uma. Como contamos

Queixas registradas entre 2019-12-18 e 2026-08-17. Mediana entre o incidente e o registro: 5 dias.

O que os donos relatam

I was operating my Tesla with Full Self-Driving (FSD) engaged when the incident occurred. I was turning right onto [XXX] from [XXX] and was positioned in the left right-turn lane approaching a railroad crossing.

Sistema elétrico · 2026-08-06 · ODI 11755168 · Colisão
I was making a right turn from the parking lot onto the street, a maneuver I have made hundreds of times previously without any issue. My foot was on the accelerator pedal as normal for this turn.

Outros · 2026-07-29 · ODI 11753407 · Colisão
The contact owns a 2020 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the safety features independently deactivated. The contact purchased and replaced the battery.

Sistema elétrico · 2026-08-17 · ODI 11757430
The front passenger door intermittently becomes “unclosed.” When this occurs, the vehicle displays “door open” and the passenger door window rolls down and up repeatedly. The window cycling continues until the door is slammed firmly shut.

Carroceria e estrutura · 2026-08-16 · ODI 11757329
I was told my car is unsafe to drive after taking it to the mechanic for a routine tire balance and rotation. I currently need both rear control arms replaced. I had them replaced in the past.

A factory reset muted the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."

Risco: Pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle if the PWS sounds are muted, increasing the risk of a crash.

Solução: Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, release 2023.44.30.14, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 27, 2024. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-006.

In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature's controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse of the SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance feature.

Risco: In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, and the driver does not maintain responsibility for vehicle operation and is unprepared to intervene as necessary or fails to recognize when Autosteer is canceled or not engaged, there may be an increased risk of a crash.

The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits.

Risco: FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.

Risco: A closing window may exert excessive force by pinching a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.

Solução: Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the automatic window reversal system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2032. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-00-013.
