What 141 owners told NHTSA about the 2018 Tesla Model X P90d

2018 MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR THE BACK WHEEL JAMMED UP IN THE WHEEL-WELL AND GONE WHOMPY. TESLA TSB ADVISES THAT CERTAIN EARLY MODEL YEARS MAY HAVE WEAK SUSPENSION LINKS THAT MAY FAIL AND CAUSE "EXCESSIVE CAMBER" BUT THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS A LATE MODEL CAR WHICH SHOULD HAVE THE NEW STRONGER LINKS. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THEY POSSIBLY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? PLEASE ISSUE A MANDATORY RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THANK YOU. KEEF WIVANEFF

HERE IS A 2018 MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/61359249/PHOTOS THE FRONT OF IT IS BADLY SMASHED IN AND ALL OF THE FRONT END DAMAGE CAN BE EXPLAINED AS BEING THE RESULT OF THE CRASH. BUT! WHY IS THE BACK WHEEL WHOMPY? IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE BACK WHEEL GOING SPONTANEOUSLY WHOMPY CAUSED THE CRASH. SURELY THIS IS BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THANK YOU. KEEF

YET ANOTHER MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD WITH A COLLAPSED SUSPENSION AND AN EXTREMELY WHOMPY WHEEL. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/45471269/PHOTOS I DON'T THINK I NEED TO SAY ANY MORE,,, JUST LOOK AT THE PHOTOS. THIS IS JUST BEYOND BELIEF. ANY NORMAL MANUFACTURER WOULD HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL. BUT......ELON MUSK.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE HAD TO USE THE VIN OF ANOTHER WRECKED TESLA TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE THE AUCTION SITE IS MISSING THAT INFORMATION. THE CAR THAT I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IS THIS ONE HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/55677079/PHOTOS THE FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION AND DRIVE SHAFT HAVE FALLEN OFF. NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. NO IMPACT DAMAGE. JUST A SIMPLE CASE OF SNAP-OFF WHEELS. THIS IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION? ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL A TESLA HITS A SCHOOL BUS AND KILLS A DOZEN CHILDREN. THIS IS JUST NUTS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. REGARDS. KEEF

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/55677079/PHOTOS THE AUCTION SITE HAS NOT PROVIDED THE VIN DETAILS SO I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER WRECK SO THAT I CAN FILE THE REPORT. THE CAR IN QUESTION IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT COPART SO IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR YOU TO INSPECT. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLION. NO AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED AND THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK. ALL OF THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING LINKAGES HAVE SNAPPED AND THE WHEEL IS STASHED IN THE FRUNK. THE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE UNDAMAGED.WHICH MEANS THAT THE SUSPENSION DID NOT SNAP OFF DUE TO AN IMPACT, IT SIMPLY FELL TO BITS. THIS IS NOT A RARE EVENT FOR A TESLA. TESLA SUSPENSIONS ARE AS WEAK AS AMERICAN BEER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. HONEST CITIZEN.

PLEASE NOT THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER TESLA MODEL X IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN OF THE CAR IN QUESTION. THIS OWNER'S LIFE IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER AND SO ARE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT ROAD USERS. DESPITE HUNDREDS OF CASES OF BROKEN TESLA SUSPENSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED AT NHTSA AND THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN ONLINE FORUMS THIS OWNER IS UNAWARE THAT HE HAS THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF FAILED SUSPENSION LINKS. LINK TO DISCUSSION. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/SHARP-TURNS-FEEL-LIKE-IM-RUNNING-OVER-2X4S.174308/ SNIP *** SHARP TURNS FEEL LIKE I'M RUNNING OVER 2X4'S DISCUSSION IN 'MODEL X' STARTED BY UNCANED, 42 MINUTES AGO. UNCANED UNCANED, 42 MINUTES AGO BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE, THEN TURNED VERY SHARP WHILE STILL BACKING UP, AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS RUNNING OVER SOMETHING LIKE WOOD BLOCKS. TURNED SHARP IN THE OTHER DIRECTION GOING FORWARD, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CHECKED ALL THE LUG NUTS WERE TIGHT; THEY WERE, AND MY PATH WAS CLEAR-SMOOTH PAVED DRIVEWAY... TIRES IN GOOD SHAPE... DRIVES FINE OTHERWISE AT NORMAL SPEEDS, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS? 2018 X75D WITH 18,000 MILES *** I RESPECTFULLY BESEECH, PETITION, AND BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSES OF THESE REPEATED BREAKAGES. ELON MUSK IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY REPORTING OF THESE SUSPENSION FAILURES. HE SAYS I AM FRAUDULENT AND UNHINGED. THIS MAKES ME A SAD PANDA.

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FRAGILE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ON TESLAS. I HAVE HAS TO USE THE VIN OF ANOTHER WRECKED TESLA BECAUSE THE AUCTION LISTING OF THE CAR IN QUESTION DOES NOT PROVIDE THE NUMBER. HERE IS A TESLA FOR SALE BY THE INSURER. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/52625009/PHOTOS CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW THAT ALMOST EVERY COMPONENT OF THE REAR SUSPENSION HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. THE CAR HAS NOT SUFFERED AN IMPACT THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE DAMAGE. ONE POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS THAT WHEN A TESLA HAS A GLITCH OR LOGIC LOCKUP CAUSING FULL ACCELERATION THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL APPLIES THE BRAKE ON THE SPINNING WHEEL. THE SUSPENSION IS TOO WEAK TO TAKE THE MASSIVE TORQUE AND GETS WRENCHED OFF. IT SEEMS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS SCENARIO HAS CAUSED SEVERAL FATAL CRASHES. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, CRASH, INFERNO. I PETITION NHTSA TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION.

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT DANGEROUSLY WEAK SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS THAT ARE USED IN ALL MODELS OF TESLA CARS. HERE IS A MODEL X WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF SNAPPED BALL JOINT STEMS THAT WAS SHOWN IN THE MODEL 3 COMPLAINT I FILLED AN HOUR AGO. HERE IT IS. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/43335999/PHOTOS PHOTO OF BUSTED BALLS ATTACHED. PLEASE ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. THANK YOU.

MOST TESLA MODEL X OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF AN ACCELERATION SHUDDER THAT HAPPENS DUE TO A HALFSHAFT ALIGNMENT DESIGN FLAW WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY ALL TESLA SERVICE CENTERS. WHEN IT GETS WORSE DUE TO INACTION / LACK OF RECALL BY TESLA, SERIOUS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE CAN OCCUR WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. MY ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WITH LESS THAN 1,500 MILES. SERVICE CENTERS SEEM TO HAVE STOPPED REPLACING FRONT END HALF SHAFTS UNTIL REDESIGN IS DONE. BUT NO ONE KNOWS IF OR WHEN THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. TESLA NEEDS OVERSIGHT IN THIS AREA. GOOGLE "TESLA ACCELERATION SHUDDER MODEL X" AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT FROM HUNDREDS OF OWNERS.
