general problems of the 2018 Tesla Model S

Rear suspension on 2020 and older Model S and x is not adjustable for alignment. Factory camber comes 2 aggressive which burns only the very inner part of the tire at a rapid pace. Upon checking tread depth with gauge you will not see this wear and tires will appear to be good. Tire wear is not visible unless you crawl under vehicle and inspect visually. Many many reports of blow out tire due to this issue. Look it up. To top it off the vehicle does not come with a spare.

The contact owns a 2018 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10-15 mph, the rear subframe assembly failed inadvertently. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side wheel appeared caved inward. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rear subframe and rear tire needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

There is loud clanking noise from the front of the car. Tesla service center said they must replace front sway bar and links. That was in December 2020. They still do not have those parts. Driving with damaged sway bars requires being super alert when changing lanes or turning. However, one cannot guarantee it 100% of the time. Tesla says that this is a minor noise issue. I would like them to fix the issue soon (not have to wait 6+ months).

The car software has been modified and appears to be compromised. Settings related to safety and autopilot have been unstable. Driver profile does not work properly. Factory reset performed by Tesla paramus and by switching email account doesn't not remove the malware. Personal data and malfunctioning of the car continue despite several complaints to Tesla.

The contact owns a 2018 Tesla Model S. The contact stated that while driving on autopilot, the vehicle pulled to the left and struck the freeway center divider. The contact stated that the driver's side front suspension was fractured. The vehicle was towed to an independent body shop but was not diagnosed nor repaired. No warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was concerned that the insurance company declined to accept liability. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 19,514.

1. Suspension problem, ongoing concern. 2. Excessive tire wear of unknown cause. 3. Driver screen for managing vehicle controls is faulty and hopefully being fixed via a warranty alert dated November 09, 2020. See attached document. My concern is that Tesla is not forthcoming in solving this suspension problem. I would encourage your agency to investigate claims into Model S vehicles produced through 2018 as well.

Design flaw on the rear suspension set up causes excessive tire wear on the inside of the tires. Very likely goes without being detected even by the service centers and can cause serious accidents due to tire blow outs specially on freeway drives.

Here is a Tesla Model S in the junkyard. There is hardly any impact damage to the bodywork. No air-bags have been deployed. The cast alloy steering knuckle has cracked in half. The only possible way for that to happen is if there is a casting flaw during manufacture. This is a heavy high performance car that is frequently driven hands free on so called autopilot. Having such badly made weak suspension parts only adds to the danger. Will you please investigate this case and that of so many other Tesla suspension failures. Thank you. Keef.

This is a complaint about Tesla broken suspensions. Here is the latest example. . . [xxx] please note that I have used the VIN of another Tesla in the junkyard which "quelle surprise" also has a whompy wheel. It seems strange that Tesla would prefer to deny that there is a weakness in the suspension components rather than admitting it and fixing the problem. To anyone that has been following the antics of elon musk recently it comes as no surprise. It seems unlikely that the owner will be filing a complaint since he has been informed that he is driving the safest car in the world! these Tesla suspension breakages have been happening over and over for many years. Your own database has hundreds of valid reports concerning this. I strongly recommend that you launch an investigation. Thank you. Enraged citizen.
