Consumer Description

PLEASE NOT THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER TESLA MODEL X IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN OF THE CAR IN QUESTION. THIS OWNER'S LIFE IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER AND SO ARE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT ROAD USERS. DESPITE HUNDREDS OF CASES OF BROKEN TESLA SUSPENSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED AT NHTSA AND THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN ONLINE FORUMS THIS OWNER IS UNAWARE THAT HE HAS THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF FAILED SUSPENSION LINKS. LINK TO DISCUSSION. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/SHARP-TURNS-FEEL-LIKE-IM-RUNNING-OVER-2X4S.174308/ SNIP *** SHARP TURNS FEEL LIKE I'M RUNNING OVER 2X4'S DISCUSSION IN 'MODEL X' STARTED BY UNCANED, 42 MINUTES AGO. UNCANED UNCANED, 42 MINUTES AGO BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE, THEN TURNED VERY SHARP WHILE STILL BACKING UP, AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS RUNNING OVER SOMETHING LIKE WOOD BLOCKS. TURNED SHARP IN THE OTHER DIRECTION GOING FORWARD, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CHECKED ALL THE LUG NUTS WERE TIGHT; THEY WERE, AND MY PATH WAS CLEAR-SMOOTH PAVED DRIVEWAY... TIRES IN GOOD SHAPE... DRIVES FINE OTHERWISE AT NORMAL SPEEDS, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS? 2018 X75D WITH 18,000 MILES *** I RESPECTFULLY BESEECH, PETITION, AND BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSES OF THESE REPEATED BREAKAGES. ELON MUSK IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY REPORTING OF THESE SUSPENSION FAILURES. HE SAYS I AM FRAUDULENT AND UNHINGED. THIS MAKES ME A SAD PANDA.
