NHTSA Complaint #11075498 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

HERE ARE TWO DISCUSSION THREADS IN WHICH TESLA OWNERS REPORT CRACKED SUSPENSION FORELINKS THAT HAPPENED ON THEIR CARS AND WHICH WERE NOT THE RESULT OF ABUSE OR WEAR AND TEAR BUT JUST SUDDEN SPONTANEOUS FRACTURES OF THE ALLOY PARTS. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/RATTLE-NOISE-COMING-FROM-FRONT-AIR-SUSPENSION.108171/PAGE-3#POST-2589383 AND HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/CRACKED-FORELINK.95637/PAGE-2 THE LATEST POST INCLUDES CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BROKEN PART AND ALSO A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE NEW REPLACEMENT THAT TESLA SUPPLIED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS AN IMPROVED AND STRONGER DESIGN. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? MOST CARS ARE STILL DRIVING AROUND WITH THE DANGEROUSLY THIN SUSPENSION LINKS. SNIP ** BILL D, YESTERDAY AT 2:20 PM LAST EDITED: YESTERDAY AT 2:27 PM AROMASCA SAID: ↑ UGH, I HAD THE EXACT SAME SOUND WHERE I THOUGHT THE WHEEL IS RUBBING. DO YOU HAVE AN AIR SUSPENSION OR 21" WHEELS? HOW DID YOU GET ACCESS TO CHECK THIS PART ? DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL? I HAVE AIR SUSPENSION AND 19" WHEELS. NO NEED TO REMOVE THE WHEEL TO SEE IT. IT IS VISIBLE IF YOU LAY ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE PART OF MY RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION THAT BROKE IS CALLED A FORE LINK. THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF WAS LAYING IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS LOOKS LIKE THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IT IT HAPPENED AT A HIGH SPEED. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS BEFORE AND AFTER WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF THE FORE LINK.** PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. I AM NOT AN OWNER, JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN. OWNERS ARE RELUCTANT TO REPORT TO AUTHORITIES. TESLA IS STILL MAKING USE OF NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS IN RETURN FOR PROVIDING REPAIRS. OWNERS ARE DEPENDENT UPON TESLA AS THEY ARE THE ONLY PLACE THAT CAN SUPPLY PARTS AND DO REPAIRS. PLEASE ACT BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. THANK YOU.
