Consumer Description

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT SYSTEMIC FAILURES IN TESLA SUSPENSION COMPONENTS THAT AFFECT ALL YEARS AND MODELS OF TESLAS ON THE ROADS. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF A RANDOM TESLA MODEL Y SINCE THE VIN OF THE CAR IN QUESTION IS UNAVAILABLE. HERE IS A LINK TO A VIDEO IN WHICH AN OWNER SHOWS HIS CAR BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE FRONT CONTROL ARM HAS SIMPLY FALLEN OFF THE CAR. HTTPS://WWW.TIKTOK.COM/[XXX]/VIDEO/6904844653024054533 THIS FAILURE COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A FATAL CRASH AND IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THE FAILED CONTROL ARM WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS KIND OF THING IS ACCEPTABLE? ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET LORD ELON CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER?? AM I REALLY THE UNHINGED ONE? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
