What 365 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Tesla Model S 75d

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO YOUR INVESTIGATIONS OF TESLA SUSPENSION BREAKAGES. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF A TESLA MODEL S 2014 OWNER IN NORWAY WHO IS UNLIKELY TO REPORT THIS TO AUTHORITIES. I HAVE USED A VIN OF A RANDOM 2014 TESLA TO FILE THE COMPLAINT. HERE IS THE THREAD IN WHICH THE OWNER POSTS. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-20. NOTE THAT THIS IS PAGE 20 OF A GIGANTIC THREAD OF BREAKAGE COMPLAINTS. SNIP** QUASHERA, TODAY AT 5:28 AM IM A PROUD MEMBER OF THIS CLUB AS WELL NOW! [​IMG] HEARD A THUMP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THANKFULLY I STOPPED TO TURN JUST A FEW HUNDRED METERS LATER AND WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE ANOTHER THIRD SNAPPED OFF. KIND OF AWKWARD TO BLOCK OFF THE ENTIRE ROAD. [​IMG] 2014 MODEL S WITH AP THE PART SEEMS TO HAVE BROKEN OFF IN 2 PIECES, ONE PART BROKE WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, AND THE OTHER BROKE WHEN I STOPPED TO TURN. LOOKING AT THE PARTS THE MIDDLE BREAKAGE SEEMS QUITE OXIDIZED, SO I THINK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE WITH A BROKEN PART BEFORE IT FAILED COMPLETELY. (LOOK AT THE COLOUR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOP (OLD) AND BOTTOM(FRESH) SURFACE. IM SO THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE AT SPEED.** THE IMAGES ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE TAKE ACTION. THIS FAILURE HAS ALREADY KILLED PEOPLE. THANK YOU KEEF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TESLA MODEL S. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER TESLA (14010 PERRY HWY, WEXFORD, PA 15090, (878) 332-6091) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE SUSPENSION TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE, AND OUT OF THE BLUE IT BEGAN TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. IMMEDIATELY THE GARAGE WAS FILLED WITH ELECTRICAL SMOKE.

 THE VEHICLE'S CENTER DISPLAY IS MALFUNCTIONING IN WHICH WE EXPERIENCE A PERSISTENT BLANK CENTER DISPLAY THAT DOES NOT RECOVER AFTER RESTARTING THE TOUCHSCREEN, LOSS OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONALITIES OCCURS. I TOOK IT INTO THE MANUFACTURER THEY SAID THAT THE "CODE" ISSUE WAS FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

NHTSA ODI 11394307

I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES RELATED TO THE MAIN DISPLAY (MCU) ON MY TESLA MODEL S, INCLUDED FAILURE TO START WHEN THE CAR WAS POWERED UP, "CRASHING" DURING DRIVING, "LOCKING" OR "FREEZING" OF ENTERTAINMENT SCREENS ONTO THE DISPLAY THAT REMAIN EVEN WHILE DRIVING, AND SLOW RESPONSE TO INSTRUCTIONS. IT WAS INITIALLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH A REMANUFACTURED MCU1 UNIT IN FEBRUARY 2020. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND I SCHEDULED SERVICE TWO MORE TIMES DURING 2020 AND TESLA REFUSED TO REPLACE THE HARDWARE EACH TIME. THEY SAID THEY "CLEARED THE MEMORY" AND "RESET THE FIRMWARE". THIS SOLVED THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS BUT THE PROBLEMS RETURNED, SOMETIMES WITHIN DAYS. I HAVE HEARD ANECDOTALLY THAT TESLA REDUCED DATA LOGGING TO TRY AND PRESERVE THE LIFE OF THESE UNITS; IRONICALLY, I BELIEVE, THIS RESULTS IN TESLA SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING LOGGED AND THUS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE HARDWARE. IN JANUARY OF 2021, OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CAR, I PAID $2500 TO UPGRADE FROM MCU1 TO MCU2 BASED ON STAFF SAYING THAT WOULD SOLVE MY PROBLEMS. IT HAS NOT. IN THE 10 DAYS SINCE THE UPGRADE, IT HAS "CRASHED" 2 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND "FROZE" PART OF THE DISPLAY ANOTHER TIME WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE LOST UNEXPECTEDLY : NAVIGATION IN THE MIDDLE OF A COMPLICATED INTERCHANGE, THE REAR CAMERA NEEDED TO REVERSE SAFELY, MANY CONTROLS INCLUDING LIGHTS, HEATING, AC, AND CHARGING. WITH THE MCU2 CRASH, I ALSO LOST THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY (E.G. SPEED). FINALLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DISPLAY OF THE REAR CAMERA IN MCU2 (THE REAR CAMERA IS THE SAME) IS BAD - AT NIGHT THE DISPLAY IS SO DARK IT IS ALMOST USELESS. THIS IS A STEP BACKWARDS. I HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD AN IMPENDING FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS. I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL UPDATES, BUT NONE FIXED THE PROBLEMS. THE ATTACHED PHOTO IS THE MOST RECENT CRASH OF THE NEW MCU2.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE TOUCH SCREEN SUDDENLY FROZEN DURING DRIVING AROUND 12:35 P.M. DEC. 28 2020. (THE EXACT DATE COULD NOT REMEMBERED, BUT I HAVE FILE WITH TESLA ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED). THE WIND SHIELD GOT FROG UP VERY FAST. I COULD NOT TURN ON DEFROST AND ALMOST HAVE A COLLISION DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. I HAD TO USE PAPER TO CLEAN THE MOISTER OF THE WIND SHIELD AND SO THE VISIBILITY WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME SAFELY.

NHTSA ODI 11390675

TWO PROBLEMS: MY CAR IS GIVING OFF WARNINGS ABOUT THE SUSPENSION. AND SO FAR TESLA REFUSES TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. 2) THE CENTER CONTROL UNIT IS SLOWING DOWN AND SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS AREN'T WORKING. SO FOR EXAMPLE, MY BACKUP CAMERA WOULD NOT COME ON TODAY. AGAIN TESLA IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS AND SUGGESTING THAT I WAIT FIRMWARE FIX. AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR.

NHTSA ODI 11390424

IN 2019 MY MAIN COMPUTER SCREEN WENT BLANK.AND DIDN'T COME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT HAD NO DEFOGGER OR OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. TESLA REPLACED AN MCU COMPUTER MODULE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2020. I BROUGHT IT BACK JANUARY 14 2021 AND INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE UNIT WITH A 64 GB UNIT (THE ORIGINAL WAS A 6 GB UNIT) THEY EMPTIED OUT SOME INFORMATION TO MAKE MORE ROOM. I SEE THIS AS A TEMPORARY FIX.I AM NOT CONFIDENT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

NHTSA ODI 11388591

THE CENTER INFO SCREEN GOES BLACK AND YOU LOSE THE BACKUP CAMERA , HVAC CONTROLS, RADIO, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS TO THE CAR. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS TESLA MODEL

NHTSA ODI 11388605

TOTAL LOSS OF DISPLAY IN THE MIDDLE CONSOLE KEEPS GOING BLACK, TOTAL LOSS OF TURN SIGNALS, SUSPENSION CONTROL, HEATER CONTROLS, DE FOG AND DE ICE, NO REAR CAMERA, NO CRUISE CONTROL, HIGH LOW BEAMS,NO ABILITY TO USE FOG LAMPS. PLUS MANY MORE THINGS TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST. I TOOK IT TO SERVICE DEPT AND THEY DID A TEMP FIX FOR $150 BUT TOLD ME IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN AND IT DID THE VERY NEXT MORNING. SOMETHING TO DO WHAT'S CALLED THE MCU MEMORY FAILING. ITS GONE DARK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MANY DIFFERENT DATES. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. MAKES THE VEHICLE IN MY ESTIMATION MORE LIKELY TO GET INTO A CRASH

NHTSA ODI 11388477

REAR END OF THE CAR SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. TESLA VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED REPLACED REAR TOW LINKS AND FRONT AFT LINKS. THEY SAID THESE PARTS WERE WORN. THEY CHARGED $3,098 FOR THE REPAIR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 38,692 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THAT TESLA CARS WITH SIMILAR SUSPENSION ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA. IT IS ALSO CLEAR FROM VARIOUS BLOGS THAT THE PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT I THINK THE ISSUE IS A PROBLEM WITH ORIGINAL DESIGN. IS THERE ANY PLAN TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR THIS ISSUE?

NHTSA ODI 11388485

MY TOUCHSCREEN WENT OUT (ALL BLACK) A YEAR AGO. THE REPLACEMENT WAS A REFURBISHED ONE. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS. WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS IMPROVED, I WAS TOLD IT'S THE SAME BUT HAS A NEW TWO-YEAR WARRANTEE. NOW A YEAR LATER, IT IS STARTING TO "ACT UP" LIKE THE FIRST. ADD TO THAT, THE LAST THREE ROAD TRIPS WITH IT EACH HAD SOMETHING BREAK ON IT OR NEEDED ATTENTION. AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR 800 MILES FROM HOME IN AUGUST 2019. DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE EXTENDING GEAR. AND 12V BATTERY, ONLY TO LEARN WEEKS LATER THAT IT WAS "FIXED" WITH A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE, IF YOU BREAKDOWN ON A TRIP? THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE. I'M GOING TO GET RID OF IT. JUST ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF UNHAPPY OWNERS.

NHTSA ODI 11388497

MANUFACTURES KNOWN DEFECTIVE MCU 1 DEFECTIVE MEMORY HOUSED IN DAUGHTERBOARD AND SCREENS LEAKING ADHESIVE IN THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 17" SCREEN ON MCU, ADHESIVE DRIPPING DOWN ONTO CABIN AREA .

NHTSA ODI 11388498

THE ENTIRE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND IT STARTED SHOWING THE BACKUP CAMERA. I COULDN'T FIX IT EVEN BY RESTARTING IT. NOTIFICATIONS INCLUDED- CENTER DISPLAY UNAVAILABLE, IT ALSO AFFECTED THE TURN SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING AND CRUISE CONTROL. OTHER SAFETY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE WERE ALSO UNAVAILABLE.

NHTSA ODI 11388365

THE TOUCH SCREEN FREEZES, BLACKS OUT, AND BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE. THIS IS DUE TO A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MCU. TESLA HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES BUT MY CAR HAS 106,000 MILES SO IS INELIGIBLE AND THE REPAIR IS THOUSAND OF DOLLARS. THIS ISSUE STARTED BEFORE THE CAR HAD 100,000 MILES BUT TESLA DIDN'T OFFER THE REPAIR UNTIL NOVEMBER, 2020 BY WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 100,000 MILES. WITHOUT THE TOUCH SCREEN MOST VEHICLE CONTROLS CANNOT BE ACCESSED WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE STARTED ON 5/10/2019 AND CONTINUE TO OCCUR ALMOST DAILY.

NHTSA ODI 11387986

1. REPLACED MCU, AT MY COST. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER A LESSER EXPENSIVE FIX WAS ANNOUNCED. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THAT ANNOUNCEMENT TESLA NOTIFIED ME THAT I MAY FALL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IT TURNS OUT THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT (114,000) IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PURCHASE THE CAR AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM TESLA WITH 22,000 MILES. MY OWNERSHIP MILES WAS UNDER 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE REPLACEMENT. CONSIDERING THE FAILURES OF THE MCU IN OLDER MODEL VEHICLES, AND A KNOWN PROBLEM, I WOULD THINK I WOULD BE COVERED. 2. DOOR HANDLES - ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE OWNERSHIP. AGAIN, A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE DESIGN. ALL BUT ONE REPLACEMENT WERE COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE. THE LAST REPLACEMENT WAS DONE AFTER 14 MONTHS FROM THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT. TESLA ONLY WARRANTIES FOR 1 YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN FAILURE WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBLITY. 3. TPMS SENSORS - AGAIN, A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE ORIGINAL SENSORS WERE A BAD DESIGN. TESLA WILL ONLY REPLACE WITH THE UPGRADED VERSION, AT MY COST OF AROUND $1,000! I AM FORCED TO FIND A NON-TESLA REPAIR FACILITY TO REPLACE THE SENSORS, AT A LOWER COST. AGAIN, WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY ON TESLA TO STAND BEHIND KNOWN ISSUES.

NHTSA ODI 11386226

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SON ON LOCAL ROADS, WITH NO UNUSUAL BUMPS OR POTHOLES, I EXPERIENCED AN ALARMING LOSS OF STABILITY. I SLOWED MY SPEED DOWN AND MADE IT HOME. ONCE THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY, I SAW THAT THE REAR WHEEL WAS CANTILEVERED ABOUT 15 DEGREES FROM VERTICAL. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO HOIST THE CAR AND LOOK UNDERNEATH, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A BROKEN LOWER CONTROL ARM (SEE PHOTO). TO BE CLEAR, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT WHICH CAUSED THIS AND IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS/FATAL ACCIDENT IF I'D BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY ROAD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE COVERED BY THE SERVICE BULLETIN SB-19-31-001. I HAD THE REAR CONTROL ARMS REPLACED BY A LOCAL TESLA SERVICE CENTER AT MY EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE IS A REAL SAFETY RISK THOUGH AND AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES.

NHTSA ODI 11385738

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND TURNING THE CAR OVER SLIGHTLY UNEVEN SURFACES LIKE A DRIVEWAY OR CAR PARKS THE FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES A CLUNKING AND CLICKING SOUND. VIBRATION AND THUDS CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND FOOTWELLS OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT TO TESLA AND THEY SAID THIS IS WEAR AND TEAR AND CHARGED ME $2,700 TO FIX EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. MANY SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECORDED OF OTHER TESLAS WITH WORSE CASES OF PARTS BREAKING DURING SLOW OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TESLA SERVICE CENTER STATED THAT IF I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THE CAR IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE! EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE CASES OF PARTS BREAKING WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. VERY NEGLIGENT OF TESLA STAFF TO STATE THIS. CAR DETAILS MODEL S85 61,000KS (38,000MILES) YEAR 2014 SEE ATTACHED IMAGE OF PARTS REPAIRED.

NHTSA ODI 11384961

THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL SCREEN IS FAILING AS THE GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE GLASS AND UNABLE TO VIEW ICONS ON THE PANEL. TELSA IS NOT GOING TO REPLACE UNLESS 1500 IS PAID FOR REPLACEMENT WITH UPDATED SCREEN THAT DOES NOT SEPARATE FROM THE GLASS. SOME PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT AS BUBBLING OR IMPRESSION OF WATER MARKS BEHIND THE GLASS BUT IT IS THE GLUE FAILING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. FOR THE WHEEL ISSUE, THE TPMS SYSTEM IS FAILING AND TELSA WILL NOT REPLACE UNLESS 1K IS PAID TO "UPGRADE" THE SYSTEM.

NHTSA ODI 11384580

MY SUSPENSION IS CONSTANTLY MAKING SOUNDS AND AFTER TAKING TO TESLA IT WAS 3RD TIME IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE FORE LINK, CONTROL ARM AND BUSHINGS HAVE GONE OUT. I REPAIRED IT AND NOW SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS BACK

NHTSA ODI 11377568

MY FRONT SUSPENSION FAILED, CAUSING A WHEEL MISALIGNMENT AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THE CONTROL ARMS AND THE SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS FAILED, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL TO BE LOOSE. I HAVE KEPT THE PARTS AND THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. IT APPEARS THAT THE RUBBER GASKETS FAILED AND WATER ENTERED THE JOINTS CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR. WITH THE LANE KEEP (AUTOPILOT FUNCTION) ON HIGHWAY 40 BETWEEN LAWRENCE AND TOPEKA, THE CAR STEERS ITSELF EITHER TOWARD THE DITCH OR TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN APPROACHING THE TOP OF A HILL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. 10

I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING 2 PRELIMINARY EVALUATIONS IN 2020 THAT NHTSA HAS OPENED FOR A TESLA VEHICLE. 1.THE EXPANDED PROBE JUNE OVER TOUCHSCREEN FAILURES. 2.2015-2017 MODEL S AND 2016-2017 MODEL X VEHICLES REGARDING FAILURE OF LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION FORE LINKS. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT ALTHOUGH NHTSA IS USED TO DEALING WITH "MODEL YEAR" VEHICLES, IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT TESLA DOES NOT FOLLOW THE CALENDAR YEAR MODELS LIKE OVER MANUFACTURERS. THEY INTRODUCE NEW FEATURES, FIXES, MODIFICATIONS IN REAL-TIME. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS AS YOUR EVALUATIONS MAYBE SHOULD NOT BE CUT TO THE CALENDAR YEAR AND POSSIBLY GAIN INFORMATION ON THE TIME WHEN TESLA IMPLEMENTED A CHANGE TO THE PRODUCTION. I AM INCLUDING TWO INVOICES THAT I HAVE HAD TO PAY THIS YEAR AND HERE ARE SOME CONCERNS. 1. APRIL2020 - MCU REPLACEMENT. MY REPLACED MCU IS STILL EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES WHERE I CAN HAVE NO REAR CAMERA, NO BLINKING SOUND, EXTREME DELAYS IN THE TOUCHSCREEN, RANDOM REBOOTS. I AM CURRENTLY PROVIDING EVIDENCE TO TESLA IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY. THE ONIS IS ON ME HOWEVER IT SEEMS. TESLA'S OWN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HAS A LIMIT OF 8 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT COVERING THE FACT THAT IT IS OLDER VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN BY INDEPENDENT POST-TESLA SERVICE PERSONNEL WHICH I CAN PROVIDE YOU DIRECTION TO REVIEW THAT INFO. MY POINT HERE IS PLEASE DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH PROVIDING A HALF-SOLVED SOLUTION. THE MCU IN QUESTION IS USING NON-COMMERCIAL GRADE EMM MEMORY. 2. NOVEMBER2020 - FAILURE OF THE LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION FORE LINKS. AFTER A VISIT TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION, THEY MENTIONED THERE IS A PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE INVOICE FROM TESLA REPLACING THE FORE LINKS MENTIONED HERE. IN SUMMARY, MY CAR WAS MADE IN THE U.S. I HOPE YOU WILL HOLD TESLA ACCOUNTABLE.

MY 2014 TESLA ONLY 11K MILES. WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 5K, I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO TESLA FOR SERVICE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT THAT CAR COULD NOT BE RAISED AT SOME SPEED BUMP, AS A RESULT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR HIT THE SPEED BUMP. I CONSIDER IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE IF THE BATTERY HOT HIT AND RAPTURED.

NHTSA ODI 11376882

BROKEN FRONT COIL SPRINGS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT APPEARS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. TIRE CAME IN CONTACT WITH WHEEL LINER. NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF A PROBLEM BEFORE FAILURE STEERING UNIVERSAL JOINT WENT OVER TIME WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED WITH FORCE WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN.

NHTSA ODI 11376504

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY SHEERED OFF OF MY FRONT, DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION. MY WHEEL WENT INTO THE WHEEL WELL. I WAS SO WORRIED THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.
