Consumer Description
NOTE, VIN OF JUNKYARD TESLA USED TO BE ABLE TO FILE THIS URGENT REPORT. THREAD POSTED TODAY ON TESLAMOTORSCLUB FORUM. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/SUSPENSION-FAILURE.181184/ **MY LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION FAILED. I HAVE LESS THAN A MONTH WARRANTY. THE CAMBER ARM OR FORE ARM BROKE AT THE INSIDE END. THERE ARE ARE PLENTY OF REFERENCES ON THE US PART OF THE FORUM. MINE IS A 2015 85D. IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE & HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY ON A FLATBED. I HAVE NOW LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN TESLAS & REGRET MY PURCHASE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SUSPENSION FAULT IN ANY VEHICLE IVE OWNED BEFORE & THIS INCLUDES A 911 PORSCHE. IVE BEEN TO COOKETOWN & BACK TO MELBOURNE. WHAT IF THIS FAULT HAD OCCURRED BACK OF TOWNSVILLE? FIX WITH FENCING WIRE? TESLA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL & ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.** I AM FILING THESE REPORTS IN ORDER TO TRY AND PREVENT MORE PEOPLE BEING KILLED BY THIS FAILURE. ELON MUSK CLAIMS THESE COMPLAINTS ARE FRAUDULENT AND THAT THE COMPLAINANT IS UNHINGED. I'M NOT ANYWHERE NEAR AS UNHINGED AS THE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. PLEASE ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. THANK YOU. KEEF (UNHINGED) WIVANEFF
