Suspension problem #1

Air suspension failure - damping control disabled (code tas_a313)" description: "vehicle is 2 days old. Suspension control module lost communication with can bus. Vehicle is in 'fail-safe' mode. Tesla service center has refused to assist. Safety risk due to loss of adaptive ride control. " manufacturer response: "no response / ignored. ".

Suspension problem #2

I purchased my car on 3/23/26. Since delivery I have noticed that the car bounces at low speeds 20-30mph and the steering wheel vibrates at highway speeds 65 - 80mph. I have had the car to Tesla service center 6 times since March. They have replaced all 4 tires, found and replaced a bent wheel (rim) on the passenger side. Then this last visit they replaced the passenger right wheel hub. They claim that when comparing it to the 1 other car available to road test my car was the same even though it still has the wheel vibration at highway speeds. They claim it falls within specs and is safe. I do not feel this is acceptable because they dont know what else to do. Now if I want them to check the car they say I must pay for any diagnosis and repairs if needed because they say they fixed the car. I do not feel safe driving at highway speeds as I am not sure what may happen which could endanger myself or passengers.
