File date	31/01/21
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car frequently fails to unlock, or to shut down. Have reported this dozens of times to tesla who has failed to acknowledge or fix the issue. When leaving, the car will sometimes sit with all systems running, doors unlocked, ready to be driven away. When trying to enter, it frequently will not unlock as claimed. We cannot depend on the car to unlock if we were in any kind of rush or danger. Picture below shows the car refusing to unlock as claimed via the app, which is the "main" way to unlock a model 3. "keyless entry" is terribly unreliable, and often requires getting out the backup cardkey and trying to manually unlock the car.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
