Good to hear they went out of their way to resolve your issue.
This is definitely worthy of reporting to NHTSA as a safety complaint, esp. since you've given the automaker a chance to resolve the issue.
Before some random anonymous yahoos decide to hit me again w/negative reputation points , see Right front door popped open while driving and Right front door popped open while driving - Page 2 for greater context as to why.

(I'm now leasing a Leaf and still have the Prius.)FWIW, I am a Prius and Nissan fan (am interested in the Leaf, previously owned two Nissans) and I follow both Toyota and Nissan. Even I will tell folks on Priuschat and Mynissanleaf (active on both) that if they encounter a legitimate safety defect, they should report it to NHTSA.
Think about it. If enough people report legitimate safety defects, if there's found to be a defective part, manufacturing process issue, systematic issue, design flaw, etc. that could eventually cause a recall that could prevent accidents, injuries or deaths. Wouldn't that be worth it? It would HELP ALL of you Tesla owners. It might help YOU from getting into an accident, being injured or dying...

Many vehicles have been recalled for windshield wiper flaws and failures, if you Google quickly for recall windshield wipers. And, this was clearly a safety issue.I am in the airline sector of the transportation industry. We routinely report possible safety issues. It's part of our culture. Why do you think the U.S.airlines are the envy of the world for our amazing safety record? It is not considered "tattling". PD is right for reporting this discrepancy.
