Consumer Description

While parking, i heard some noises underneath the front wheel area and turns out the tires are rubbing against the wheel well liner and the pins that were holding the wheel well in place were popping off. When driving off, i noticed the alignment was off and felt the car shifting around in a weird way so i pulled over into a parking lot and can see the liner nearly ripped off. Took it to the tesla service center and turns out the fore links on driver side is broken and also recommended the passenger side be replaced add it is starting to Crack. The car had 60k miles.
