After getting new tires installed at walmart I heard a loud knocking noise when turning the steering wheel. The walmart tech thought that it was because the tires were too big/wide. Tesla said they probably forgot to put the car in jack mode and the air suspension fully deflated. Once the sir suspension return to normal the knocking noise is still there, although not as loud and not as frequent. Both the walmart technician and Tesla technician confirmed the noise. Tesla said my front fore and aft links (aka control arms) are worn and in need of replacement. I read that this is a common issue and that Tesla has done a lot of repairs both in and out of warranty (some goodwill repairs). Https://insideevs. Com/news/702556/Tesla-suspension-claims-recall-senators/ Tesla technician talks as if the parts are wear items. I asked why they don't have them in the service manual and I wasn't given a good answer. The technician said that the bushings and ball bearings are wear items and that the fore and aft links get replaced along with them. I was given an estimate of $2,330. 69 for the repair. Attached is the invoice.
I am writing to emphasize and provide details regarding the critical safety issue affecting both Tesla Model S and Tesla model x. My personal experience highlights the severity of this problem which included a tire blow out at highway speeds on a tire that had only approx 10k miles on it. This specific wear pattern is a direct result of improper camber alignment, an issue that Tesla has continuously refused to rectify. This problem is not isolated to my vehicle alone. Many Tesla model x and Model S owners have reported similar experiences, indicating a widespread and systemic issue. The accelerated inner wall tire wear poses significant safety risks, as it can lead to unexpected and dangerous tire failures on the road, which is exactly what happened to me. Despite the clear evidence and numerous complaints from Tesla owners, Tesla has consistently declined to address this issue adequately. It appears that the company’s reluctance is rooted in the fact that proper repair or recall to fix the camber alignment is too costly. However, this cost-cutting measure is putting drivers and passengers at risk. Given the severe outcomes that this design flaw causes, I urge immediate investigation into this. It is essential to investigate these recurring problems with both the Tesla model x and Model S models. The safety of Tesla drivers, passengers, and the general public is at stake, and a thorough investigation could compel Tesla to take the necessary corrective actions.
Please note this is 2nd time in one year my axles being replaced due to vibrations and popping noise. They are also changing this to customer even know they installed wrong design axles previously. This should be still under drive train warranty which is 8 yers and u limited mileage.
Front axel vibrations and noises. Tesla unable to fix.
Suspension front end items became loose at 33k miles. Front tire was at risk and did rub against drivers side front fender liner.
Strut on 7-month-old car was cracked in several places, in a way that's extremely concerning. The metal of the strut looks very brittle (see pictures attached to this complaint). Never hit anything more than a small pothole with car. . Expected warranty replacement. When I questioned Tesla's refusal to cover under warranty, I told Tesla to keep the old parts and send pictures. When I went to pickup the car, they said they accidentally threw the defective part away, despite my requests to keep it!!!!! their actions are very suspicious. Tesla is clearly trying to cover something up. Even worse, they're denying warranty coverage for the defect, and profiting greatly from it.
