## Narrative
The car's computer shorts out and disables all safety features including navigation, blind spot monitoring, all cameras, emergency braking, autopilot, lanekeeping, auto headlights and wipers.  This is a known issue that Tesla will not repair.  This resulted in a collision due to poor rear visibility, lack of cameras, and disabled emergency braking.  In addition, intermittently there is loss of power steering.  Despite this being a known issue, Tesla will not replace my computer, insisting I pay several thousands of dollars for the repair.  I feel they must issue a recall and cover this safety defect.  The car software cannot be updated, either. Please intervene.  [XXX] [XXX] [XXX]  I do not have the claim information for the other car involved, but can get from State Farm.  I do have the repair costs for my vehicle.  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
