Consumer Description

I sometimes hear a creaking noise from under my car when driving and steering at low speed and believe there is a potential defect that poses a risk to motor vehicle safety. I took my car into Tesla but they said they would not look at the car unless they could first hear a noise which is I told them is intermittent. They could nto hear a noise at the time, so did nto look at it. I have on occasion heard the noise again. My car is a year old and had around 5.1k miles when I took it in. It now has around 7,500 miles. I have never had a dealer refuse to put the car on a lift, especially a new car that is under warranty, to examine it based on a complaint from a customer. My concern is that I had read articles of reports to to NHTSA of Tesla suspension breakdown and wheels failing off of Tesla's on highways that have caused serious injuries to passengers and other vehicles and I am concerned something like that could happen to my car.
