general problems of the 2019 Tesla Model X

I got my suspension replaced on my 2019 Model X (that I bought used from Tesla directly) in June 2023. Tesla was suppose to do a through 140 point inspection before putting the car for sale on their website but after less than 2 years and 15000 miles (after the suspension was replaced). The same suspension same issue came up. Tesla told me that they need to replace the suspension again and will bill me $2100. I have owned multiple cars but I have not have to replace suspension on any of my cars ever. How can a suspension fail first at 35000 miles and then again 15000 miles. This seems like Tesla is knowingly putting faulty parts in the car to keep making money on parts and labor. This should be looked into and investigated by national highway safety. And Tesla should issue a recall for these and replace them with good quality parts.

To whom it may concern, service bulletin sb-21-39-001 (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2021/mc-10203323-9999. Pdf) was issued for the front half shaft repair for Model X, s. In my case, the repair work was done but did not address the issue. They only replaced the parts, and after two years the problem still occurs: vibrations at accelerations, etc. I had to pay over $2000 for the same work, which will probably not address the issue in the permanent matter. Tesla, especially, Model Xs has issues with front half shafts, and I want to encourage NHTSA to look into this bulletin and mandate telsa to repair the vehicle with a more permanent solution and provide reasonable repair costs in doing so.

The suspension is making loud clicking noises when turning or accelerating. The suspension system seems to have an inbuilt design flaw as many people are reporting the issue online.

I was just out of warranty and have a very loud squeaky noise when I turn my wheel. I was told that because of the weight of the battery, this can happen. I was told it was not an expensive fix but now they say it's $3,000. It is a known issue and the engineers didn't build to hold the car up properly with the weight of the battery. May be a potential hazard and I don't feel safe driving it and also hard to drive as loud as it is. If they are aware and have since fixed this issue, my car should be fixed at no cost to me. For the record, they took off the cost of the estimate and put all zeros which I also found to be odd.

Hello, it's keef again. This Tesla has just showed up in the junkyard. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2019 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front end near the tires and wheel wells. There was a vibration in the front end of the vehicle while driving. The autopilot feature became inoperable. The "autopilot camera unavailable" message was displayed. While driving, the instrument cluster went dark. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to a possible camera blockage. The ball joints and control arm were resealed. The vehicle was calibrated and informed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 55,482.

At the low speed, the car suspension failed (most likely the control arm) and the vehicle swung to the right and crashed into the car bridge rails. As a result of this, the right front wheel dislodged completely, which would not be possible if there were no mechanical problems with the suspension. Tesla dublin had worked on my suspension three weeks prior to the accident. The full video from the dash cam before and after the accident is available below. Https://drive. Google.

Front half shafts keep failing due to extreme angles of operation where bearing races are spalled as a result and could result in a high speed failure. Have had 3 replacements in 25k miles and will need a 4th replacement. Lowering car to bring halfshafts more geometrically in line improves halfshaft life, but in turn cause significant rear tire wear resulting in potential high speed blow outs. Adjustable suspension front and rear links would significantly improve both issues and should be, in my opinion, offered by Tesla as a warranty service bulletin as soon as possible.

Constant shudder when driving because of design flaw in camber & control arms. We tried reaching out to Tesla multiple times but they don't want to cover it under warranty multiple owners are having same issue.

My 2019 Model X, which hadnt travelled even 2-3 miles in the last 3 weeks, suddenly had misaligned front wheels. When I contacted Tesla, they sent a tow truck to tow the vehicle. The tow truck driver upon seeing my vehicle mentioned that the suspension is broken and he has been towing many Tesla Model X's because of this reason. The Tesla service center said that the suspension is damaged because of driver abuse most likely due to driving at high-speed over potholes. Upon asking them how did they find out about the damage they mentioned that their service technician went underneath my car while it was on the tow truck and using a flashlight saw that the suspension was bent and determined that was due to driver abuse. Tesla didnt have any records to prove that the car was actually inspected at their shop and they sent my car to their authorized body shop to be fixed at my expense. I believe that Tesla is lying, they know that the front suspension is weak and tends to get damaged over few years of abuse. Instead of recalling the vehicle they are blaming the drivers such that the driver's insurance bears the cost instead of Tesla.

The car experiences a strung judder under acceleration. Tesla replaced the front half shafts at about 10,000 miles and solved it temporarily but it has returned. They now say it is a design issue and they will replace them when a new version is produced.

Here is a mangled and partially burned Model X in the junkyard. Https://erepairables. Com/salvage-cars-auction/Tesla/model+x/vid-46135539 the back wheel has fallen off and is stashed in the frunk. All the suspension links on the back are stretched and snapped, but the wheel is almost undamaged. It is impossible for those stretched links to have been caused by the crash. The rear of the car is almost undamaged. It is idiotic to use extruded aluminum for critical suspension links, they are simply not strong enough for the weight and power of the car. The danger only increases as the cars gets older not just because of wear and tear but also because cheaper secondhand Teslas are affordable for young inexperienced and often reckless younger owners. Please take action before more people get killed. Than you. Keef.

You have opened an investigation into front suspension failures of certain model years and models of Teslas. It is obvious that suspension weaknesses and failures are affecting all years and models of these cars due to bad design, bad manufacturing and bad quality assurance. . Read more...

This is the 2nd time that the left front suspension vibrates and rattles on acceleration. When I went to Tesla to see if repair was still under warranty, I was told no. I explained that this "repair " was done some time ago after I purchased the vehicle, and was look for a good faith repair. I was told I'd have to pay for repair this time around. I am a limo driver and use my vehicle to transport passengers. . . . This is a major issue to my business.

The vehicle and steering wheel vibrates while accelerating.

I bought this car new in 2019 and after a few months of driving the car developed this horrible shudder as you accelerate between 30-40mph. I brought the car in for repair and was told there was no fix for it. After I contacted an attorney Tesla replaced the axles on the car. Tesla told me that if I accelerated hard on this car I would void the warranty. Problem I use this for work as a doctor in the hospital and I do not hard accelerate this car. Now imagine if I had to hard accelerate to get on a highway or pass someone. Look at the number of complaints. This car now sits in my driveway and now have another car while I pursue the lemon law.

I have been filing reports of Teslas having snapped suspensions for more than 3 years but no action has been taken. The photographs of this broken Tesla provide categorical proof that that the suspensions are unsafe. Please note that this car is only a few weeks old and has only done 1500 miles. . Read more...
