NHTSA Complaint #11015882 — 2013 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS A FRESH REPORT OF A TESLA SUSPENSION FAILURE: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/TESLA-UPPER-CONTROL-ARM-CRACKED.96329/#POST-2257474 SNIP:IT ALL TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY WHEN MY WIFE WERE DRIVING TO VISIT ONE OF HER COLLEAGUE. WHILE TURNING INTO A LEFT TURN AT A RELATIVELY LOW SPEED SHE HEARD A LOUD BANG. SHE DID NOT THINK OF MUCH BUT IMMEDIATELY SHE NOTICE THAT HER BRAKE WERE COMPLETELY GONE AND THE DASH HAD MALFUNCTION WARNING ALL OVER THE PLACE. SHE HAD TO STRUGGLE TO PULL THE CAR TO SAFETY BUT WAS HITTING MANY OF THE SAFETY BUMP ON THE GROUND. WITHIN MINUTES THE CAMPUS POLICE PULL UP AND ASK HER WHAT HAPPEN. SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR NOTICE THE OUR 2013 MODEL S P85 WAS SITTING ON THE GROUND WITH ONE OF THE WHEEL COMPLETELY BEND. IT LOOKS LIKE AS IF THE AXLE HAD GAVE AWAY. *** TO ME IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS NOT AN WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS AN MANUFACTURER PART DEFECT. AND AFTER READING ON MANY FORM IT SEEM THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS A BIG PROBLEM ON THE EARLY PRODUCTION TESLA MODEL S. I HAVE BEEN IN MERCEDES FOR YEARS AND MY PREVIOUS S CLASS WERE AT 125,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. CURRENTLY THEY ARE STILL REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR. LUCKILY ENOUGH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING LOCALLY NOT ON THE FREEWAY. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IT WILL BE IF SHE WERE TRAVEL AT A HIGH SPEED. *** IF NHTSA CONTINUES TO IGNORE THESE FAILURES THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER. I AM CONTINUING TO FILE THESE REPORTS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE BY READING THE THREAD THAT OWNERS COME UNDER PRESSURE FROM TESLA SUPPORTERS TO KEEP THESE FAILURES A SECRET. THE PRO-TESLA FORUMS FREQUENTLY CENSOR, DELETE, OR BURY SUCH COMPLAINTS. I HAVE USED A DUMMY US ADDRESS TO COMPLY WITH WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY GENUINE CONTACT DETAILS HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED TO NHTSA.
