Consumer Description

Car has 52000 miles. Car was parked OK. Upon returning to drive I noticed cracking sound and noticeable wobbling motion on right front wheel. Car was found to have broken right front ball joint and Tesla replaced all front parts left and right. Tesla said this was wear and tear and I disagreed and think it is a safety issue!
