Consumer Description

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT TESLA BROKEN SUSPENSIONS. HERE IS THE LATEST EXAMPLE... [XXX] PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD WHICH "QUELLE SURPRISE" ALSO HAS A WHOMPY WHEEL. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT TESLA WOULD PREFER TO DENY THAT THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS RATHER THAN ADMITTING IT AND FIXING THE PROBLEM. TO ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE ANTICS OF ELON MUSK RECENTLY IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE OWNER WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT SINCE HE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT HE IS DRIVING THE SAFEST CAR IN THE WORLD! THESE TESLA SUSPENSION BREAKAGES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING OVER AND OVER FOR MANY YEARS. YOUR OWN DATABASE HAS HUNDREDS OF VALID REPORTS CONCERNING THIS. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU. ENRAGED CITIZEN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT
