NHTSA Complaint #11094073 — 2014 TESLA MODEL S

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FRAGILE TESLA SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE PUBLIC INTEREST THAT I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FILE THESE COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THE OWNERS ARE BEING PRESSURED TO REMAIN SILENT. JUST TODAY AN OWNER HAS ADDED A FRESH REPORT OF A BROKEN SUSPENSION AND SUPPLIED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/TESLA-UPPER-CONTROL-ARM-CRACKED.96329/ **GEORGECM, YESTERDAY AT 2:37 AM LAST EDITED: YESTERDAY AT 3:08 AM MY WIFE WAS DRIVING US HOME THIS SATURDAY. SHE HIT A REALLY SMALL POTHOLE WHEN THE CAR BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. FOR A SHORT TIME WE WENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN SHE MANAGED TO GET BACK ON OUR SIDE WHILE REDUCING SPEED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE WHEEL WAS IN AN INCORRECT POSITION. WE MANAGED TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR IN A POSITION SAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS, IN A PARKING PLACE NEARBY. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. I ALSO OBSERVED INTERIOR SIDE TIRES ABNORMAL WEAR ON BOTH REAR WHEELS. THE CAR WAS DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES LESS THAN 3000 MILES! THIS LOOKS TO ME LIKE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THAT CONTROL ARM, DOES ANYBODY HAS KNOWLEDGE IF TESLA HAS A NEWER, REINFORCED VERSION OF THIS PART ? I AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THEM ON BOTH SIDES. ANYBODY WHO HAS A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR NEW PARTS, PREFERABLY IN EUROPE PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. THE NEAREST TESLA SERVICE FROM ME IS 2000 KM AWAY.** THIS THREAD HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR MORE THAN 12 MONTHS. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED BROKEN SUSPENSIONS. POSTERS ARE ATTACKING THE COMPLAINANTS AND URGING THEM NOT TO REPORT THESE FAILURES. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT NON-OWNERS SHOULD NOT FILE COMPLAINTS. IF THAT IS TRUE THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU EXPECT TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DUMMY US ADDRESS USED TO COMPLY WITH WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY CORRECT CONTACT DETAILS ARE SUPPLIED WITH THIS SUBMISSION.
