Upon returning, as I got into the vehicle and started reversing to get out of my driveway; several alerts popped up on my car. The alerts included \"Steering assist reduced\", \"Stability control disabled\", \"Automatic emergency braking unavailable\" and lastly, \"Parking brake Fault.\"  Immediately the power steering was gone and it took several pounds of force to turn the steering wheel even a little bit. Then, the parking brake engaged. No matter how many times I put the car into Drive, it would engage the brake again. My vehicle was halfway out of the driveway and into the road and I was causing my neighbors angst. After several reboots, it still was not working. I was unable to even get the car into neutral to push the car back on to my property and out of the street.   After nearly 20 minutes of trying and almost giving up; the parking brake disengaged for a few minutes and allowed me to get back to the driveway. However, when driving the brakes were extremely loud when the car was in motion.  The car was completely fine with no signs of wear and tear or issues prior to the out of town weekend. The car was also fully charged so to not run into any batter issues upon my return.  After some internet sleuthing, this issue is decently common and is caused by faulty housing in the steering rack. The nuts/bolts that were used by the manufacturer could not withstand more than a few years of wear and tear. I believe there was a recall on the previous years for this exact situation.  I am afraid I will have to take it to Tesla service and pay several thousand dollars as the warranty expired last year.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL S","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
