On wednesday, july 13, 2016, my minor son was driving my tesla (VIN [xxx]) northbound on round hill road in greenwich, connecticut, with the autopilot engaged. At approximately 3:50pm, the tesla approached a vehicle that was parked partially on the shoulder of the road and partially on the road in front of 273 round hill road. The vehicle obscured the white line along the right hand side of the road. Rather than moving to the left to avoid the parked vehicle, the tesla continued on the same path.

While pulling my car out of the garage driveway on 1/8/2021, heard a metal cranking noise and I wasn't able to turn the steering wheel to the left. After inspecting the wheel, noticed the front wheel on the driver side was touching/stuck the wheel liner. Scheduled a service appointment with tesla and took the car to the tesla service center today, they identified both front forelinks need to be replaced.
