NHTSA Complaint #11331244 — 2013 TESLA MODEL S

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT A BURNED OUT MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. THE VIN IS UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE THE CAR IS ROASTED SO I HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE VIN OF A DIFFERENT WRECK IN ORDER TO PROMPTLY FILE THIS URGENT COMPLAINT. HERE IS THE CAR I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/36655532?ROWNUMBER=4 I HAVE ATTACHED A CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WRECK WHICH SHOWS THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. THE STEERING KNUCKLE ON THESE EARLY TESLAS IS MADE FROM HOLLOW DIE CAST MONKEY METAL AND IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TO SNAP IN HALF. TESLA CAME OUT WITH A SLIGHTLY IMPROVED KNUCKLE IN ABOUT 2014 BUT THOSE ONES ALSO SNAPPED EASILY. THE CURRENT VERSION IS MUCH STRONGER. OWNERS HAVE NOT BEEN WARNED ABOUT THESE WEAK PARTS. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE IF YOU DO NOT TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
