Consumer Description

MY 2014 TESLA ONLY 11K MILES. WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 5K, I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO TESLA FOR SERVICE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT THAT CAR COULD NOT BE RAISED AT SOME SPEED BUMP, AS A RESULT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR HIT THE SPEED BUMP. I CONSIDER IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE IF THE BATTERY HOT HIT AND RAPTURED.
