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

SORRY TO DISTURB YOU GUYS WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING. HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/35779527/4 THE BACK WHEEL FELL OFF. NOT IN A CRASH (LUCKY) THE WHEEL SIMPLY FELL OFF BECAUSE THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS ARE MADE FROM PLAYDOUGH. DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A BIT DANGEROUS? NO NEED TO THANK ME. JUST DOING MY CIVIC DUTY. HAVE A GREAT DAY. REGARDS KEEF WIVANEFF ESQ.

CENTRAL CONSOLE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES. DURING THIS TIME FRAME, THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE REAR DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY RECOMMENDED OPTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS TO REMOVE THE SPEAKERS ON THE REAR DOOR PANEL AND THEN PULL ON EMERGENCY RELEASE. THERE IS NO WAY A PASSENGER CAN REMOVE THE SPEAKERS WITHOUT TOOLS. THIS CAN LEAD TO A SAFETY ISSUE, WERE THE REAR PASSENGERS HAVE NO MECHANICAL WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE. SIMILARLY WHEN THE SCREEN IS NOT RESPONSIVE, THERE IS NO WAY TO ACTIVATE THE REAR DEFOGGER OR DEFOG THE FRONT WINDSCREEN. THIS SITUATION DRASTICALLY REDUCES VISIBILITY AND CAN LEAD TO AN UNSAFE CONDITION ON THE ROAD. WHEN THE FRONT DISPLAY IS BLANK; THE DRIVER GETS NO POSITIVE FEEDBACK WHETHER A TURN SIGNAL HAS BEEN ENGAGED - NO VISUAL INDICATION OR AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO CHANGE LANES SAFELY; NOT KNOWING WHETHER BLINKERS ARE ON OR OFF. WHEN THESE CONDITIONS HAPPEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH FREEWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS.

AS THE VEHICLE SELF DRIVING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVE IT CAME TO A FULL STOP IN A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEHIND AN 18 WHEELER. AS I WAS IN A FULL STOP, I STOPPED LOOKING TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND LOOKED FOR A DOCUMENT AND CHECKED MESSAGES. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FULLY, IMPACTING THE 18 WHEELER IN FRONT OF ME. MY REACTION WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH AS I WAS VERY CONFUSED, EVENTUALLY I HIT THE BREAKS AND ACTIVATED ABS SYSTEM BUT NOT WITH ENOUGH TIME TO STOP BEFORE IMPACT. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE TESLA REPORT THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATION OCCURRED WITH OUT DRIVE INPUT. THEY SEEM TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND STATE IT IS OPERATOR ERROR NOT TO BE ATTENTIVE, BUT REGARDLESS, ACCELERATING AT FULL SPEED WITH NO INPUT TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE IS A HAZARD TO THE POPULATION. THEY HAVE NOT SHARED THE REPORT FROM ENGINEERING, ONLY READ THE STATEMENT OVER THE PHONE ONCE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ASK FOR THE WRITTEN REPORT. SIGNIFICANT AVOIDANCE IN OCCURRING FROM THE COMPANY.

EDIT/ADDITIONAL NOTE TO MY EARLIER COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11300604, THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH TESLA HAPPEN WHEN USING WITH/WITHOUT AUTO PILOT, I OBSERVED MANY TIMES DURING (A).THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPEN EVEN WHEN DRIVING NORMALLY WITHOUT AUTO PILOT, THOUGH I AM NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL, ESPECIALLY OBSERVED IN THE CITY ROAD SPEEDS AROUND 30-45 MPH, WHN USING AUTO PILOT ON FREEWAYS, THIS HAPPENED AROUNBD 55-70MPH SPEEDS TOO. (B). ALSO THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPEN WHEN BATTERY IS AT 20-40% OF RANGE. (C). ALSO HAPPEN WHENVER THERE IS A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE, THIS UNITENDED ACCELERATION POPPED UP MANY OCCASIONS(DON'T REMEMBER EXACT TIMES) AS IF SOME SOFTWARE BUG RESURFACED AND I USED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE VEHCILE HAVING BEEN ALERT ALL THE TIME. REPORTED THIS OVER EMAIL, TALKED TO SERVICE CENTER, BUT NO CONCRETE ACTION FROM TESLA END.

MY MODEL X WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AS IT WAS NEAR HOME. BEFORE ENTERING THE CURVE, THE X SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. IT FIRST CRASHED INTO MY OTHER PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, PUSHING THE PARKED CAR INTO MY GARAGE. THEN IT CONTINUED TO HIT A CITY LIGHT POLE, BREAKING IT AT THE BASE. THE X CONTINUED TO HIT MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S TWO CARS PARKED OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOME, DAMAGING THEIR GARAGE. THE CAR FINALLY STOP WHEN IT HIT THE WALL OF THIRD NEIGHBOR' THAT DIVIDE UP HER DRIVEWAY. TESLA ROADSIDE SUPPORT CONTACTED ME ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT BECAUSE THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE MY AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND MAY REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. I REQUESTED TESLA TO REVIEW THE LOG OF THE CAR AND EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I FOLLOWED UP THAT FIRST WEEK THEY ACKNOWLEDGED MY REQUEST IN AN EMAIL AND TOLD ME THAT THE REQUEST IS WITH THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM AND IT MAY TAKE A WHILE BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSE. HOWEVER, AS OF TODAY, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TESLA MODEL X. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HER HUSBAND WAS PARKING IN A SPACE, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE AND A CEMENT PLANTER, CAUSING THE PLANTER TO MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR CHIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ASKED ABOUT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND CONFIRMED THAT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT WHO WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER AND AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE WAS BENDING OVER TO GRAB HER PURSE FROM THE FLOOR MAT SUSTAINED A BRUISED RIB AND LATER DROVE HERSELF TO THE DOCTOR FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE POLICE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TESLA MOTORS DEALER (650-681-5800, LOCATED AT 4180 EL CAMINO REAL, PALO ALTO, CA 94306) AND WAS TOLD TO EMAIL THE INFORMATION. THE CONTACT EMAILED THE INFORMATION BUT DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000.

NOTE: I AM NOT A TESLA SHORT SELLER, I AM REAL OWNER, DRIVER OF TESLA FOR THE LAST 19 + MONTHS. 1.SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENED MANY TIMES DURING AUTOPILOT, VEHICLE DOESN'T DECELERATE EVEN WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS IN FRONT, I HAD TO TAKE CONTROL FROM AUTROPILOT WITH THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND I APPLY BRAKE. THIS HAS BEEN MANY MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS (FREEWAYS ~65MPH, EXPRESSWAYS ~45/50MPH SPEEDS). I DID NOT APPLY ANY GAS PEDAL/OTHER TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE THE SPEED, BUT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION SPEEDS UP, I WAS TERRIFIED WITH THIS AND TOOK CONTROL FROM AUTOPILOT. CONTACTED TESLA EARLIER REGARDING THIS, BUT THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, SERVICE CENTER DID NOT HELP MUCH. 2.AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING...WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO STOP IF ANY OBJECTS INFRONT, DOES NOT STOP. ITS JUST THE VISIBLE CLEAR OBJECTS, VEHCILE DOES NOT STOP EVEN AT LOWER, HIGHER SPEEDS. I REQUEST NHTSA TO KINDLY TAKE NOTE OF THESE ISSUES WITH TESLAS AND APPRECIATE YOUR ACTION IN THIS REGARD.

IT HAPPENED AT 7/21/2019, 1PM. THE PLACE IS A PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF A STORE. I WAS DRIVING MY TESLA X. BEFORE I REACHED THERE, I WAS ALREADY IN THAT PARKING LOTS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES; THE SPEED WAS VERY LOW, ABOUT 3 MILES/HOUR. WHEN I FOUND THE STORE, I WANTED TO TURN LEFT AND PARK NEXT TO A CAR IN FRONT OF THE STORE. AT THAT TIME, I LOOSED THE ACCELERATOR PANEL. SINCE MY TESLA HAS THE DEFAULT REGENERATIVE BRAKE SETTING, THE CAR SPEED IS ALMOST ZERO. AS USUAL, I TOUCHED A LITTLE BIT OF THE ACCELERATOR PANEL TO PARK INTO THE PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, THE TESLA HAD A BIG ACCELERATION DURING THE TURN. I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THEN ELEVATED MY FEET AND TOUCHED NOTHING AT THAT TIME. MY TESLA STILL FORWARDED AND JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE CONCRETE GARBAGE BIN IN FRONT OF THE STORE. AFTER TESLA CRASHED THE CONCRETE GARBAGE BIN, IT STILL HAS ACCELERATION AND MOVED FORWARD. IT SCRATCHED A CAR, WHICH WAS PARKING IN THE NEXT PARKING SPACE, THEN MOVED FORWARD UNTIL IT HIT THE WALL OF STORE. I'M 100% SURE MY FEET TOUCHED NOTHING BEFORE MY TESLA JUMPED THE CURB.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE HEAD FIRST WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK. NEXT THING MY WIFE KNEW WAS THAT SHE HAD JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT 2 OTHER CARS. HER FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. TESLA DOWNLOADED THE BLACK BOX. TESLA TOLD US THAT THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 3 MPH AND THAT THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEE DEPRESSED. TESLA REFUSED TO SHARE THE BLACK BOX PRINT OUT DUE TO "PROPRIETARY INFORMATION". 3 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, DRY PAVEMENT, CLEAR SKY, 10:00 AM. REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS LOW BY $10,000.

WE HAD AN ACCIDENT 2DAYS AGO. WE WERE IN THE SCHOOL LOOP TO DROP OFF OUR SON TO SCHOOL. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS THE DROP OFF AREA WHEN EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENED SO FAST, THE NEXT THING I KNEW IS THAT WE HIT ONE OF THE IN-GROUND INSTALLED BASKETBALL HOOPS. THE IMPACT WAS HARD AND DEPLOYED ALL THE AIRBAGS ON THE PASSENGER SEATS AND THE SIDE AIRBAG OF THE DRIVER AND THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SEATS WHERE MY SON WAS SEATED AND ALSO SAW SOME SMOKE FROM THE FRONT WHERE I WAS SEATED AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM THAT I THOUGHT THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BUT MY HUSBAND INFORMED ME THERE WAS NONE. RECALLING NOW, IT HAS BEEN A MYSTERY TO US AS TO WHY AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. I WAS SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SUSTAINED A FRACTURE IN THE RIGHT SCAPULA AND GENERALIZED CONTUSIONS IN MY BODY AREA. MY SON WHO WAS SEATED ON THE 2ND ROW ALSO SUSTAINED CONTUSIONS ON HIS FACE AND A FEW LACERATIONS. WE WERE COMING INTO THE SCHOOL LOOP AND WAS RUNNING ON A SOMEWHAT 20MPH SPEED, I WAS WONDERING IF THE VEHICLE DID ACCELERATE IT'S SPEED CAUSE WHY WOULD WE HAVE SUCH A HARD IMPACT AND SUSTAINED THOSE INJURIES THAT IT EVEN DEPLOYED ALMOST ALL THE AIRBAGS? HOPE SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THIS SO AS NOT TO HAVE ANYONE BE ON OUR SAME FATE AND FOR EVERYONE'S FUTURE SAFETY. THANK YOU.

MODEL X JUST ARRIVED IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/61359249/PHOTOS FRONT END SMASHED IN. BACK WHEEL WHOMPY. I BET YOU A SIGNED DOLLAR THAT WHOMY WHEEL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH AND NOT THE RESULT OF IT. THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THAT PART OF THE CAR AND THE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE UNDAMAGED. HOW MUCH LONGER ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT BEFORE YOU RECALL THESE DEATH-TRAPS? THERE IS EVEN A TSB THAT ADMITS THE SUSPENSION LINKS ARE FRAGILE AND "MAY CAUSE EXCESS CAMBER. AND YET ELON MUSK PERSISTS WITH HIS "SAFEST CAR IN THE WORLD" NONSENSE AND CALLS SUSPENSION COMPLAINTS "FRAUDULENT" HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/ELONMUSK/STATUS/741411531582115841?LANG=EN PLEASE RECALL THESE DANGEROUS CARS.

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

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

MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER CLIMBED INTO THE 3RD ROW OF OUR TESLA MODEL X WHILE IT WAS PARKED. SHE WANTED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT AND USE A "BIG GIRL" SEAT BELT, INSTEAD OF HER CAR SEAT. SHE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE SEAT BELT ON AND EVEN CLICKED IT INTO PLACE WITH THE STRAP OVER HER LAP. HOWEVER, SHE SOMEHOW GOT THE CHEST/SHOULDER STRAP WRAPPED AROUND HER NECK. MY DAUGHTER & WIFE THOUGHT THAT LETTING THE BELT RETRACT A LITTLE WOULD ALLOW THE REMOVE THE TENSION AND ALLOW THE BELT TO BE FULLY EXTENDED. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. LUCKILY, ONE OF MY CHILD'S ARMS WAS IN A RAISED POSITION AND PREVENTED THE SEAT BELT (NOW IN A LOOP AROUND HER NECK) FROM LITERALLY STRANGLING HER. MY WIFE CALLED ME IN A PANIC AND HURRIED HOME. MY DAUGHTER SAT IN THE BACK SEAT CRYING AND IN A PANIC. I MET THEM IN THE STREET WHEN SHE ARRIVED. THE CAR WAS STILL ON WHEN I JUMPED IN THE BACK SEAT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I COULD LET THE SEAT BELT RETRACT A BIT AND THEN THE TENSION WOULD RELEASE SO THAT I COULD REMOVE HER. THE PROBLEM IS THE BELT NEVER ALLOWED ME TO EXTEND IT. INSTEAD, THE SEAT BELT CONTINUED TO REMAIN TIGHT AND ENGAGED EVEN AS IT WAS RETRACTED. IN THE END, I HAD TO HOLD THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE SO IT WOULDN'T GET ANY TIGHTER AND MY WIFE RAN INTO THE HOUSE AND GRABBED SCISSORS. ONCE I HAD SECURED THE SEAT BELT AND HAD SCISSORS IN HAND, I ASKED MY WIFE TO TAKE A CELL PHONE VIDEO OF IT. I CAN SHARE THAT VIDEO WITH YOU IF YOU LIKE. ULTIMATELY, WE HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT. WE HAVE NOT ALERTED TESLA OF THIS ISSUE AND WE HAVE NOT YET HAD THE CAR REPAIRED. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH SEAT BELT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, AND I REALIZE MY DAUGHTER IS VERY YOUNG AND HAVING THE SEAT BELT WRAP AROUND HER NECK IS LIKELY AN UNCOMMON SITUATION, BUT IT SEEMED ODD TO ME THAT THE BELT PERFORMED IN THIS MANNER. I'M ALERTING THE NHTSA IN CASE THIS IS A PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE THAT WARRANTS ACTION.

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.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11268198

I HEARD THAT NTHSA IS LAUNCHING A INVESTIGATION INTO INVESTIGATING TESLA FOR A UPDATE THAT THE COMPANY RELEASED TO REDUCE THE RANGE OF THE VEHICLES TO ADDRESS A BATTERY ISSUE. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE ON 2018 TESLA MODEL X. I USED TO CHARGE THE VEHICLE AT 90% FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE AND IT USED TO SHOW ME 208 MILES AS THE RANGE. BUT EVER SINCE THE UPDATE ITS SHOWING ME 196 AS THE RANGE AT THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF CHARGING (90%)

NHTSA ODI 11266807

IT HAPPENED ON FREEWAY 57 WHEN I WAS ON THE WAY TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING. I WAS DRIVING MY TESLA MODEL X, AND IN THE AUTOPILOT MODE. SUPPOSEDLY IN THE AUTOPILOT MODE, TESLA WILL DETECT THE SPEED AND THE OBJECT IN FRONT AND SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE. IF TESLA IS TOO CLOSE TO AN OBJECT, IT WILL BEEP AND STOP. BUT IN THAT MORNING, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN BUT DID NOT STOP. AND ALSO THERE IS NO 'BEEP' THE WARNING SOUND WHEN CAR IS TOO CLOSE TO THE CAR. BECAUSE THE VIDEO IS TOO LARGE, I CAN NOT UPLOAD SO I PUT SHARING LINK YOU CAN REVIEW: HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/11H_PDLKSLG0JARLNKEVF9YTF6WK0HWKD/VIEW?USP=SHARING. ALSO I CALLED TESLA AND REPORTED SAME DAY, I HAD BEEN TOLD THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND CALL ME BACK BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON APRIL 29 2019, AND IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS. TESLA IS STILL IGNORING EVERY CALL I MADE IN THE PAST.

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.
