While driving, the front left brake caliper detached, causing immediate damage to the wheel and a tire blowout. There was no recent brake, wheel, or suspension service (over two years). Tesla is repairing the vehicle for an estimated $2,336.41 but did not clearly identify root cause. This was a sudden brake system failure that could have resulted in loss of control. I am reporting this as a potential safety defect.
Tesla Collison Center Denver - returned vehicle with bent wheel after an accident They refuse to repair despite safety risk They are now Blocking my access to service of fixing my car for unrelated issues as well. This bent wheel may result in an unsafe vehicle on the road
The Tesla model Y Performance has a tire wear problem that causes uneven wear and creates cupping that occurs within 7500 miles of tire wear. There is also a weird sound even when you have new tires on the vehicle. The noise grows as your speed goes up it is almost painful at 70mph. It is a known issue and Tesla refuses to address the problem even though they are aware of it. This cupping issue creates a loud noise within the vehicle and reduces the tire mileage to under have of the rated mileage. I have taken my model Y in three times and while they state they are unable to work on the noise unless I replace my tires. I believe there is other problems with the suspension because of the noise the model y make regardless of the cupping.
I initially brought my car in for a weird clicking noise. This noise went away after the car was towed to the Service Center. During service at Tesla Service Center in LA on August 04, 2025, technicians identified structural deformation of the left-hand rear subframe toe link mounting side wall. This deformation prevents proper alignment of the suspension bolt and makes a 4-wheel alignment impossible. Tesla refused warranty coverage, claiming “impact damage,” citing only cosmetic wheel rim scrape as evidence. However: 1. Torque paint marks remain intact, proving the bolt has not shifted since factory assembly. 2. No collateral suspension damage (control arms, bushings, underbody) was found, which would normally occur if an impact strong enough to bend a subframe ear had happened. 3. This failure mode is nearly identical to Tesla’s prior recall (21V-835 / 23V-235) on the front suspension lateral link bolts, which involved subframe mounting holes deforming...
I have only driven my car for 10k miles in past 2 years. I have been on 3 long trips only. Every trip has become scary because one or the other tire turns flat right on busy highways with my little kids in it. I have had one replacement and two repairs on the only long trips I made. No other car I have have had any flat tires till date on the same routes in past 10 years. Tesla vehicles are heavy and they make tires prone to this posing a safety hazard. Tesla should either publicly announce this or give some solution since if known no one would want to take this vehicle with this kind of risk. I have asked tesla technicians and it seems it does not matter what company's tire it is.
My Tesla model Y performance 2022 was purchased on September 26, 2022. I found that the left rear wheel was leaking in July 2023. After other tire repair shops failed to find the cause of the leak, I went to the Alhambra Tesla service center for further inspection. They found that my wheels rims had cracks that caused the tire to leak very slowly. These cracks are invisible to the naked eye (I still have this wheel rim at home). During my negotiation with this Tesla service center, they told me that it was my use that caused the wheels rims to crack, and they would not be responsible for the wheels rims. I disagreed with their decision and bought a new WHEEL RIM at my own expense. I use this car for work. I have never driven this car for strenuous exercise or to steep mountains. This is my...
I was sideswiped by another vehicle which just joined our direction of traffic coming out of a cutout. As soon as I saw the vehicle moving fast from inside the cutout to join our direction and into my lane, I immediately decided to move to the lane next to me. I was at the leftmost lane at the time. Halfway into the lane I just felt the violent impact of the other vehicle hitting us. My wife and I were shaken so bad, we were shocked and terrified at what just happened and what else might happen to us. I felt like we were travelling on the front wheels with our rear end up in the air. Next thing we knew, the car stopped in front of a tree. Our iphones and the our car's phone called 911. We were pulled out of the car and taken immediately into an...
My car met a major accident and the impact was so severe that it was total loss. The car was badly damaged from drive side and it skid at least 100 meters and it turn around And I am aware that Tesla has side airbags also but none of airbag were deployed I tried to contact Tesla support and report this issue but no one from Tesla gave proper Response . If you want I can share the pics of my car and claim details

Towed to tesla service center and they wont accept the fault and charged me again another 432$.. tire getting blown daili
Vehicle was sold to me on 12/23/2021 (winter) in Paramus NJ. Tesla did not notify or otherwise inform me that this Performance Model Y comes with summer tires. A week ago my wife found she had little to no traction on wheels while going to work - she almost had an accident. A friend told me i might have summer tires. Tesla website has no info on this topic. After contact Tesla support they confirmed that this vehicle has summer Tires. I think Tesla is putting drivers in danger by letting them drive off the lot in summer tires during winter months and not informing them of it. Additionally, the summer tires immediately loose warranty when used in temperatures below 40 degrees.
