general problems of the 2019 Tesla Model 3 - part 2

Squeaking while turning left, right, and under load while braking in a straight line. Problem is upper and lower control arms. Also at time is sound like metal grinding in a circular fashion like a break pad on a rotor, or like an inner bearing going out.

Front upper control arm is failing, making an awful noise and can be felt grinding inside the car while driving. Reported to Tesla service and they denied the repair. It is a known issue, they need to recall all effected vehicles for repair.

Broken control arms.

Suspension lateral links attached to subframe became loose causing the lateral links to separate from the sub-frame. Wheel alignment shifted causing instability, which adversely impacted vehicle controllability and nearly caused a collision while driving. Problem was inspected, reproduced, and confirmed by the dealer/manufacturer/service center. Before the failure occurred, the primary symptoms were abnormal noises from steering/suspension area. Service center attempted to address these noises by inspecting and retightening the bolts, but unfortunately, this action did not resolve the issues and, eventually lead to a failure of the suspension system. It should be noted that parking brake functions and vehicle hold feature may have been affected by this failure. This incident may be associated with with the following recalls, NHTSA recall: 23v-235 or manufacturer recall: sb-23-31-001. However, my VIN does not appear to be included.

Squeaking suspension not allowing for a safe drive.

You have many reports of Tesla Model 3 ball joint failures. The ball joints are failing due to lack of lubrication. If an owner complains enough Tesla will squirt some lube in and reseal with silicon goop. Owners are even diying with wd40. Here is a Tesla in the junkyard with upperball-joint popped apart and all other ball-joints busted. . Read more...

The left front lower control arm came loose while I was getting out of my garage. The vehicle immediately became undrivable.

Squeaky sounds and shaking steering control due to the front 2 wheels upper control arm ball joints lost the lubrication. Extremely laud squeaky sounds, the squeaky sounds is similar to car that about to fall apart in movies. Resulting the Model 3 driver has to be on high alert all time, scared if the wheels will fall apart or the steering will be out of control or difficult to control.

Tonight my Tesla 3 with 9500 miles was noted by the driver in the car next to mine to be riding on a tire that was sparking. Stopping the car I found the radial michelin tire was riding on the inner medial radial as the rubber was totally gone. Further inspection found both rear tires to be similarly marked by having no tread. This is a 4 shell drive car in which there is a major problem with the suspension or motors for the rear wheels. I have never had a car with this type of problem. I suspect they cut corners t some major step or this is a mother type of design flaw. The front tires appear to have minimal wear. Which is what one would expect for a car that is one year old. Lucky we did not have a blow out.
