Both front half shafts failed. I did research and this part is known to be substandard, was recalled in China, and remains a problem in the US.

Suspension Design and Negative Camber: Rear tires have huge inner wear when wires are visible after few thousands miles. Changed tires 3 times already within 14k miles. Current miles is 18,200, but 1st time it happened in Aug 2022 when miles were 4200.

This vehicle suffered a flat tire on the left rear at 20,000 miles. It was discovered that the tire had worn out on the inside prematurely due to a faulty negative camber alignment. The other tire on the right rear was examined and found to be worn down to the treads on the inside as well. I informed Tesla and they said this is normal for the make and model. You cannot see the inside of these tires during a normal walk around inspection. Tesla says that the problem cannot be fixed. I could have suffered a tire failure at high speed which could have been catastrophic. Tesla just says its unfortunate and you have to live with this issue. i consider this to be a very unsafe issue that Tesla should address at their expense. This car is under warranty and Tesla refused to repair the car.Tesla did not...

My car is been vibrating and shaking for over a year now, and everytime I took it to certified Tesla service, they brought it back to me telling me they can't feel anything, and that there is noting to fix. After the fifth time, they suddenly tells me that I got into a hole in the road and that is why it's shaking, also, the car had a message on the screen saying that the air pressure can't lift the vehicle, and it made a huge noise, I had to call a tow truck to take it to Tesla center. NOW, they are telling me that a mouse ate the hose, and that will cost me $9000. I can't pay that much money, and it's not OK. Can you please contact me as soon as possible and help me solve this problem? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE...

I continue to experience accelerated severe rear tire wear since my original purchase of this car new in February 2022 on both rear tires (275/45R20). The car has had the alignment specifications confirmed by Tesla. Yet I have had to replace two sets of rear tires in less than 36,000 miles due to the inside edge of both tires being worn through the rubber and into the steel cords of the tires. This last set of tires went ~14,000 miles and still had 5/32" tread depth remaining across all treads. This substantial wear is not readily observed by the vehicle operator without crawling under the car. The wear on these tires is indicative of excessive negative camber settings of the suspension. However, TESLA states the rear suspension alignment is within camber specifications at -2.13 to -2.06 degrees. The tires appear road worthy during a casual walk around of the vehicle....

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...

I think the rear passenger suspension failed causing the car to veer right and hit two parked cars
