Consumer Description

The car suddenly crossed the double yellow line on a local road and hit another car coming from the opposite direction on a local road (Adams Lane, North Brunswick, NJ). The wheel joint was faulty that broke (see attached pictures) and pull the car to the other side of the road without warning. Even the airbag in this car is not deployed. The vehicle was towed by police to a garage (Coppa's Service Center & Towing, 1 Moore Road, North Brunswick, NJ 08902. ph. 732-297-7530). The vehicle has been declared as a total loss by the insurance company. Because my car crossed the yellow line and hit the other car, I got tickets (crashdocs.org; Police Report # [XXX]; Date: 06/20/2023). I and the lone person the other care are lucky to survive this accident. I feel that such a fault might put other Tesla Model Y drivers/passengers and others in danger on the road. Please investigate to keep people safe. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
