What 237 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Tesla Model X P90d

2016-2017 Model X SUV: a possible front suspension link issue that can cause the tire to rub against the wheel arch. The attached picture shows an excessive wear of inside shoulder.

The contact owned a 2017 Tesla Model X. The contact's husband stated while driving 70 mph, a strange noise was heard coming from the rear driver side of the vehicle which resulted in the contact's husband losing control of the vehicle and collided with the median which brought the vehicle to a stop. None of the air bags deployed but no one was inquired and a police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a junkyard where it was determined to be destroyed. The contact stated no warning lights was illuminated. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The rear camber arms of both Tesla Model S and X suspension have fixed camber angle that only grows wider as the time passes, that would cause the inner side of tires to wear out more rapidly than the mid or outer tire sides. Tesla doesn’t offer a camber arm that is adjustable in order to fix this alignment issue. Due to this the tires blow out prematurely and can potentially cause severe accidents. Tesla doesn’t acknowledge this as a design defect to replace this as safety problem, hence I am reporting it here to investigate the matter.

The specific issue happen while I was I was pulling out of my driveway. The front passenger side suddenly started squeaking. After getting on the highway and accelerating, the car started shaking, and making louder and louder noises. Inspecting the assembly next to the front passenger side tire, I saw that the control arm assembly was making metal on metal contact and the wheel was not horizontally in place (it wiggles on steering). I took the car to the service center. They confirmed that the control arm assembly is corroded and that the issue could cause an accident if it happens while driving as I could lose steering control.

THE CAR SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT HALF SHAFTS REPLACED TWICE AND NOW THE SHUDDER IS BACK AGAIN. THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS, AS WELL AS THE NOISE THAT THE STEERING MECHANISM MAKES, AND THE FACT THAT THE MODEL X WIPERS DON'T WORK, BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO GET ALL THESE THINGS FIXED SINCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS AND IN THIS TIME I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN OVER 10 TIMES. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE VISITS FOR BOTH MY IN-CAR DASH SLOW, FREEZING, OR RESTARTING AND I HAVE HAD 3 VISITS RELATING TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS MY SUSPENSION NOT WORKING. MCU UNIT- THIS HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE STARTING MY CAR WHERE THE SCREEN WOULD NOT LOAD AS WELL AS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY WHERE THE UNIT WILL FREEZE. I HAVE NOTICED IT MORE OFTEN WHEN ON LONGER ROAD TRIPS BUT IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED DURING DAY TO DAY ACTIVITY. SUSPENSION: WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY SUSPENSION, TESLA DIAGNOSTICS COULD NOT DETERMINE A PROBLEM BUT THEY PROACTIVELY FIXED A PART. NOT SURE IF THIS IS KNOWN PART THAT WAS FAILING BUT IT WAS A PROACTIVE APPROACH. MONTHS LATER I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN B/C IT WAS MAKING A LOUD MOTOR NOISE, THEN HISSING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME BUT I THINK THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE 1ST SIGNS OF A LEAK IN MY SUSPENSION SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN TESLA COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER FROM THAT VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT RAISE OR LOWER. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT IT NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE SERVICE CENTER SO INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT MAY JUST BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. AFTER TAKING IT IN AGAIN, TESLA TRIED A REPAIR THAT WAS GOING TO COST ABOUT $500, THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME THE REPAIR DID NOT TAKE AND A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE REPAIR WOULD BE NECESSARY ABOUT $6,000. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAT 100,000 MILES ON IT AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUSPENSION FAILING AS I HAVE READ A LOT OF INFORMATION OF OTHER TESLAS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. WITHOUT A 3-RD PARTY TO TAKE IT TO IN MY AREA, I FELT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY THE FEE AND LET TESLA FIX IT. TESLA DISCOUNTED BY 10%.

I'M NOT FROM THE US, BUT WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALSO SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH MODEL X CARS IN EUROPE. MY CAR, A TESLA X FROM APRIL 2017 WITH 93.682 KILOMETERS DRIVEN BROKE DOWN WITH A BROKEN SUSPENSION PART. THE WHEEL WAS MOVING FOR- AND BACKWARDS COMPARED TO THE VEHICLE. TESLA CALS THE PART FORE LINK ASSY LH (1041570-00-B). WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE FRONT A THE CAR CAME UP FOR 5 CENTIMETERS. IT HAPPENED ALSO DRIVING SLOWLY FORWARD. THE BIG RING ON THE END OF THIS PART (THE SITE THAT IS CONNECTED CLOSE TO THE WHEEL) WAS COMPLETELY TORN OPEN. TESLA ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT AND RIGHT FR SUSP AFT LINK ASSY BECAUSE OF "WEAR AND TEAR". UPPER CONTROL ARM WERE ALREADY REPLACED IN JUNE 2020. REAR MOTOR REPLACED JANUARI 2018, ELECTRONICS FOR OPENING FRONT DOORS REPLACED IN MARCH 2020, NEW POWER STEERING APRIL 2020. I LIKE YOU TO INVITE THE ALSO LOOK AT SUSPENSION SAFETY ISSUES IN EUROPE WITH THE MODEL X AND S. THESE ISSUES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ROAD CONDITIONS, WE HAVE VERY NICE SMOOTH ROADS HERE IN THE NETHERLANDS. I MADE A VIDEO OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL.

THE BACK WHEEL HAS GONE WHOMPY WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A TESLA. THERE IS NO CRASH DAMAGE AT THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. IT WENT WHOMPY BEFORE THE CRASH. THE FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION HAS SNAPPED OFF AND HAS ESCAPED THE FIRE BECAUSE IT WAS LYING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE CAR DURING THE FIRE. THE AIR-SHOCK IS STASHED INSIDE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS STASHED THERE BY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. THE FRONT WHEEL IS CLEANLY SLICED IN HALF. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN TESLAS. THE SUSPENSION BREAKS WHILST THE CAR IS TRAVELLING AND THE BROKEN PART GOUGES THE WHEEL WHILST IT IS ROTATING. MANY SIMILAR CASES CAN BE SEEN HERE; HTTPS://WWW.FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/136377865@N05/ALBUMS/72157661343139261 TESLA SUSPENSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE. I BET YOU A SIGNED DOLLAR.

I BELIEVE TESLA HAS DESIGNED AND INSTALLED DEFECTIVE UPPER CONTROL ARM, JOINTS, AND BUSHINGS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT GLIDING OF VEHICLE IN ADDITION TO CREAKY AND CLANGY SOUNDS EMITTING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE GLIDING OCCURS DURING 30-45 MPH, AND THE NOISES OCCUR AT SLOW SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 22K MILES ON IT AND HAVE BEEN DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL AND BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD THUD/POP NEAR THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. I WAS TRAVELING 1-5 MPH SINCE I WAS BEING CAREFUL WITH MY NEW CAR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NOT MORE THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE FROM A TESLA DEALERSHIP. ON THE DAY THAT WE BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT HOME THE CAR WAS SHAKING SO BAD WE HAD TO MOVE THE KIDS CAR SEATS TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. THAT SAME DAY WE SET UP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO GET THAT ISSUE FIXED WHILE NOT DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID THERE WERE TIRE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED OVER OTHER ISSUES AS WELL BEFORE WE LEFT BUT SAID SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED THAT DAY WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THERE IS NO POSSIBLE EXCUSE FOR THE BACK WHEEL GOING WHOMPY. THERE IS NOT SO MUCH AS A SCRATCH ON THE BACK END OF THE CAR, JUST THE USUAL WHOMPY WHEEL.

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/61279099/PHOTOS IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK AND NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. THE REASON THAT IT IS AN INSURANCE WRITE OFF IS THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED FORCING THE WHEELS UP INTO THE ARCHES AND DAMAGING THE WEEL WELL LINERS. THE LUDICROUS THING IS THAT TESLAS DO NOT HAVE ANY LIMIT STOPS ON THE AIR SUSPENSION. A SIMPLE AIR LEAK CAN CAUSE THIS FAILURE WHICH IN MANY CASES IT THEN RESULTS IN THE WHEEL JAMMING UP AND WRENCHING OFF THE SUSPENSION TWIGLETS. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? HOW MANY MORE DEATHS DO YOU NEED? ARE YOU GUYS JUST SCARED OF ELON MUSK? I'M NOT. YOURS IN DISGUST KEEF

THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT IF HE DOES COMPLAIN HIS TESLA MAY BE DEVALUED AND HE RISKS BEING BLACKLISTED BY THE COMPANY. THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW YET ANOTHER FRACTURED SUSPENSION ARM. THE OWNER IS IDENTIFIABLE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR NHTSA TO CONTACT HIM AND OBTAIN THE BROKEN PART FOR INSPECTION. IT WOULD ALSO BE VERY EASY TO TRACE THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER RECORDS. HERE IS THE TEXT OF THE COMPLAINT THAT THE OWNER HAS POSTED ON TWITTER.

THERE HAS BEEN A FATAL TESLA CRASH IN MOUNTAIN VIEW CALIFORNIA. THE PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED SHOWS THE LH FRONT WHEEL HAS BEEN SLICED IN HALF AND IS LYING ON THE GROUND ON THE LH SIDE OF THE BARRIER. THE TIRE OF THE TESLA IS LYING ON THE GROUND. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE WHEEL COULD HAVE BEEN SLICED IN HALF BY A COLLISION WITH THE BARRIER. THE WHEEL HAS BEEN SLICED THROUGH BY A BROKEN SUSPENSION COMPONENT JAMMING INTO THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WHILE IT WAS ROTATING JUST AS THOUGH IT WAS TURNING ON A LATHE AND HAD A TOOL FORCED INTO IT. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THIS WHEEL WAS SLICED BEFORE HITTING THE BARRIER. THERE IS A SINGLE WHEEL SKID MARK JUST BEFORE THE CRASH SITE. SINCE THE TESLA HAS ABS WHICH SHOULD PREVENT WHEEL LOCK UP AND SINCE THIS IS JUST A SINGLE WHEEL SKID MARK IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT THIS WAS THE START OF THE SLICED WHEEL EVENT. I WOULD NOT BE SO CERTAIN OF THIS IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT SEVERAL IDENTICAL CASES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND THE DETAILS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA PREVIOUS TO THIS FATAL CRASH. PLEASE LOOK UP REPORTS #11080798 #10957436 #11042736 #11040822 THE ONLY OTHER CASES OF CAR WHEELS GETTING SLICED IN HALF THAT I CAN FIND ON THE WEB ARE JUST A VERY FEW OLD MODEL CARS THAT HAVE BEEN BADLY MAINTAINED OR REPAIRED. FOR THIS SORT OF FAILURE TO BE HAPPENING ON NEAR NEW TESLA CARS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE FILE MANY REPORTS OF BROKEN TESLA SUSPENSIONS AND MANY OF THOSE COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A SLICED WHEEL. I AM NOT FILING THESE REPORTS FRIVOLOUSLY. I AM TRYING TO PREVENT FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU.
