This is a well known issue and the Tesla community believes this is a design flaw in the steering system. Tesla apparently has a TSB  [XXX] ) and updated parts to correct this issue, but they want to charge customers for the correction at $400+ at most service locations.   At a certain point of debris accumulation and/or rust, the joint seizes up in multiple spots while turning the steering wheel. This makes the vehicle unpredictable to control and also will disengage the driver assistance features (Full Self Driving, Autopilot), as the car thinks the user is pulling on the steering wheel, when in fact it is the debris accumulated in the U joint that is causing resistance. If this happens while the driver is not paying very close attention, the system will disengage and could potentially do so without the driver realizing what is going on, which could easily lead to the driver going off the road/into another car/etc. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL X","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
