Consumer Description

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/37656941?ROWNUMBER=81 AAAND..... POP GOES THE BALL JOINT! THAT'S IT! THE TOP BALL JOINT HAS FALLEN TO BITS AGAIN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO COLLISION DAMAGE THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE BALL JOINT FAILING LIKE THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SQUEAKS CAUSED BY LACK OF LUBRICATION IN THESE BALL JOINTS. EVENTUALLY THE BALL WEARS AWAY UNTIL IT POPS OUT AND THEN THINGS TURN TO EXCREMENT. IF IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR YOU THEN WOULD YOU PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO DEMAND A RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET SLAUGHTERED BY THESE DEFECTIVE CONTRAPTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEF.
