On January 24, 2023, an event occurred in which the ``model Y'' suddenly came off while driving on the highway in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Luckily, there were no vehicles behind him, so he escaped a traffic accident.

Mr. Prerak & Neha Patel, who reported the accident, said, ``Isn't it the company's responsibility to repair manufacturing defects? ``We have lost faith in safe driving in Tesla cars,'' he said.
@elonmusk Am I responsible for manufacturing defect? It's not even week and getting bill for faulty steering wheel. Isn't it company's responsibility to fix it? I would greatly appreciate refund and keep the car as we lost trust and family is not feeling safe driving it back.pic.twitter.com/7ZsO4ZiXNu

NHTSA is aware of another similar event in which the steering wheel falls off while driving, apart from Mr. Prerak & Neha Patel. NHTSA began a preliminary survey of approximately 120,000 Model Ys on March 4, 2023. Regarding the event of the steering wheel falling off, NHTSA explained, ``The vehicle was delivered to the customer without the bolts that held the steering wheel in place.''
Prerak & Neha Patel reported that a new model Y was presented on February 23, 2023 as a result of interaction with Tesla.

First, I would like to thank all who supported me.
Today, I received a new/replacement @Tesla Y.
Just FYI - I received a call from @NHTSAgov defect investigation team, they are looking into this matter. pic.twitter.com/dh7LwLwWeD
