ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (35 PLUS TIMES IN PAST 2 MONTHS) I HAVE EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO EVERY ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED COMPONENT OF MY VEHICLE. FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL OR HEADLIGHTS. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOES BLANK, ALL RADIO AND AC DISPLAY GOES OFF AS WELL AS THEIR FUNCTIONS, MY DOOR LOCKS REPEATIDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND MY ACCELERATION STALLS OUT. AFTER THE POWER INTERRUPTION ALL MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS (ABS/ AIRBAGS/ STABILITRACK/ TRACTION CONTROL/ CHECK ENGINE) FLASH ON AND OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN THEY ALL STOP FLASHING THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN GLOWING. ON 1 OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AN HOUR IN THE RAIN ON A TOLL ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ONLY POWER DID NOT RETURN FOR 6 TO 8 MINUTES LEAVING ME TO WRESTLE MY ROLLING VEHICLE ACROSS 3 BUSY LANES OF 75 MPH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I HAD TO SIT THERE WITH MY CHILD AS TRAFFIC FLEW BY UNTIL POWER RETURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED WE WERE GONNA BE HIT BUT WE WERE ON AN ELEVATED SECTION OF THE ROADWAY SO THE CONCRETE BARRIER PREVENTED US FROM GETTING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE CONTACT FAST MOVING TRAFFIC MADE EXITING THE DRIVER SIDE IMPOSSIBLE AS WELL. THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED IN EVERY TYPE OF DRIVING SCENARIO OR CONDITION. RANDOMLY OCCURRING WHILE TURNING, ACCELERATING, DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, BRAKING, HITTING BUMPS WITH NO CONSISTENT FACTOR BEING PRESENT. THE DATE BELOW INDICATES THE ONSET OF THESE REPEAT OCCURRENCES

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition.
