NHTSA ODI 11373079

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY IN-LAWS PARKING SPACE. I HAD THE WHEEL TURNED AND AS I WENT OVER A SMALL DIP I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BROKE SOMEWHERE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END. I DROVE IT HOME AND WHEN I WOULD GO OVER SOME BUMPS I COULD A KNOCKING / CLUNKING SOUND, LIKE SOMETHING WAS HITTING TOGETHER BUT ONLY ON THE BUMPS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER. I DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A COMMON THING. I COMMUTE 100 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY TO WORK SO I HAVE 115, 000 MILES AND MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. TESLA SENT ME AS ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK AND IT WAS $2150.67. WHEN LOOKING AT IT I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE REPLACING BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FORE LINK ASSEMBLY. I ASKED THEM WHY IF IT WAS ONLY THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVERS) THAT BROKE AND TESLA SAID THAT THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE ONE SIDE, THEY NEED TO REPLACE BOTH. I NEEDED MY CAR SO I PAID THE FULL AMOUNT.

THE BACK WHEEL HAS BEEN WRENCHED OFF BY THE TORQUE OF THE MOTOR. ALL OF THE SUSPENSION LINKS AND ALSO THE CAST LOWER ARM HAVE SNAPPED. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IN TESLAS THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE SUSPENSION PARTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE JOB. THIS IS GETTING SILLY. WHEN YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO SPARE WOULD YOU PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL. THANK YOU KEEF

I DROVE TO A STORE WITH NO ISSUES. UPON BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT I HEARD A 'BREAK' AND THEN FELT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE RUBBING AGAINST THE CAR. I NOTICED THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS POSITIONED FURTHER BACK THAN USUAL AND DETERMINED SOMETHING BROKE UNDER THE CAR. TOWED THE CAR HOME, AND USED A CAMERA TO CAPTURE A BREAK IN THE FRONT FORE LINK. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, I WASN'T INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT, NOR DID I HIT A POT HOLE OF ANY SORT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TESLA WHERE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY). I DISCOVERED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MODEL S AND X'S. I SUBMIT THIS TO YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. ALSO, ATTACHED IN THIS INVOICE FROM TESLA. THEY REPLACED THE BROKEN PASSENGER SIDE FORE LINK AND ALSO REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE FORE LINK AS I BELIEVE THEY FELT IT WOULD FAIL IN THE FUTURE.

THIS ISSUE HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE, NO COLLISION, NO POTHOLES, AND NO EXTERIOR FORCE. ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICED A CLANGING NOISE IN THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL HOUSING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS (5 TO 15 MPH). THIS NOISE IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UP/DOWN DRIVEWAYS. FEW DAYS AGO I NEAR A VERY VERY LOUD BANG NOISE FROM THE FRONT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I BACK UP THE CAR THE WHEEL WAS SCRAPPING AGAINST THE INNER LINNING AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY. THEN I PARKED AND NOTICED THE WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER (SEE PICTURE). I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND ATTACHED BELOW IS THE ESTIMATE. ONLY THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD THE ISSUE, BUT THE ESTIMATE INCLUDES A REPLACEMENT OF THE PARTS FOR BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. REASON FOR REPLACING BOTH IS THE PARTS BEING REPLACED ARE UPDATED PARTS. THIS IS A SAFTEY CONCERN BECAUSE IF GOING AT HIGHER SPEED AND THESE PARTS WILL FAIL WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO LOOSE CONTROL.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT REPEATED SYSTEMIC FAILURES OF TESLA SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I HAVE USED THE VIN OF A RANDOM WRECKED TESLA IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ONLINE COMPLAINT. HERE IS PAGE 13 OF A LONG THREAD OF COMPLAINTS ON THE TESLA MOTORS CLUB FORUM. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-13#POST-4477250 MOST OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. SINCE I SOMETIMES PASS TESLAS TRAVELLING TOWARDS ME ON THE HIGHWAY I FEEL I HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. HERE ARE EXAMPLES FROM THAT THREAD. SNIP**KASPER1G SAID: ↑ MINE SNAPPED 7 DAYS AGO AND TODAY TESLA SAID THAT THE CONTROL ARM CAUSED MORE DAMAGE AND IT WOULD COST ME 12.000 TO FIX IT. SINCE THE CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS NOW 176K KM IT HAS NO MORE WARRANTY... I'M PREEEEETTTY MUCH F**KED ISN'T THE PART THAT FAILED PART OF THE US RECALL? IF SO, HOW IS THE UK PART DIFFERENT? I'D POSIT THAT THE ENTIRE REPAIR SHOULD BE A WARRANTY/SAFETY DEFECT REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR, NO? THIS ISN'T RIGHT; PLEASE ESCALATE WITH YOUR TESLA LEADERSHIP TEAM, AND SUGGEST A FOLLOW UP COMPLAINT TO THE UK VERSION OF THE US NHTSA--ALONG WITH A COPY OF THE RECALL.** SNIP** LOCATION:HONG KONG HAD THIS HAPPEN 6 DAYS AGO. TESLA REPLACED MY MX90D'S FRONT LEFT FORELINK... MY CAR ONLY HAS 13K KM ON IT AND IT IS 3 YEARS OLD. IT JUST SNAPPED BACKING OUT OF A SPOT,WHEN I TOOK MY CAR BACK OUT, THERE WERE SCRATCHING SOUNDS WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. ALMOST COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR PARK AS THE SCRATCHING GOT WORST ON THE DOWNSLOPE. IT WAS HARD FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO GET THE CAR SINCE IT WAS IN AN INDOOR CAR PARK. NOW I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY. TESLA SAID NORMALLY THIS WOULD COST $400USD PER LEG TO REPAIR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? PLEASE WAKE UP! THANK YOU. KEEF

HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/SUSPENSION-FAILURE.181184/PAGE-2 OWNER HAS NOW POSTED IMAGES OF THE BROKEN PARTS WHICH ARE ATTACHED TO THIS SUBMISSION. DRIVER IS ADAMANT THAT HE HAS NOT ABUSED THE CAR. SNIP ** PL VIEW PICS. IM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER, HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING PERHAPS GONE INTO A FEW COUNTRY ROAD POT HOLES BUT THAT IS NOT UNUSUAL. I DON'T AGREE WITH MELOCCOM ABOUT SUSPENSION. THESE ITEMS SHOULD LAST CARS LIFE NOT BE A FRAGILE ITEM SUBJECT TO YEARLY SCRUTINY. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO MUCH NOISE IN AUS ABOUT FAILED SUSPENSION. PERHAPS TESLA HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE PARTS WHEN THEY SEE THE CARS. IT APPEARS TO AFFECT CARS WITH AWD MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD. IT WILL MOST LIKELY PRESENT AS A CRACK AT THE SMALL END OF THE FOREARM YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE IT TO CHECK. IF IT FAILS THERE WILL BE A LOUD SHUDDER WHICH MIGHT SHAKE THE BONNET. THIS IS GENERALLY OBSERVED AT LOW SPEEDS WHILST PARKING AND THE WHEEL MAY HIT THE WHEEL ARCH WHEN YOU DRIVE OFF.** THE IMAGES SHOW THAT THIS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY BAD DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE. THE SAME FAILURE HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OTHER TESLAS AND IS PROBABLY THE CAUSE OF SOME FATAL CRASHES. THIS SITUATION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. MORE PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED UNNECESSARIL.

A SHARP EYED INVESTIGATOR WILL NOTICE THAT THE BACK RH WHEEL HAS LOST ITS TIRE AND HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK INTO THE WHEEL WELL. IT SEEMS MOST UNLIKELY THAT THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. IT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS THE WHEEL GOING WHOMPY THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO SWERVE AND NARROWLY MISS IMPALING THE DRIVER.

2016 TESLA, 3 YRS OLD WITH 61,170 MILES. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, AT SLOW SPEED, WITH STEERING WHEEL TURNED, BOTH FORELINKS (SUSPENSION ARMS) BROKE. THE CAR APPEARED DRIVE-ABLE AND THE ONLY ISSUE I NOTICED WAS A LOUD METAL GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. TESLA SERVICE CENTER INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED BOTH FORELINKS WERE BROKEN BUT I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK ON ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE (I.E. STEERING KNUCKLE) RESULTING FROM THIS ISSUE.
