I am lodging a formal complaint about recurring safety issues with my Tesla Model Y long range dual motor awd, purchased on June 8, 2023. These issues have led to multiple skidding incidents under normal conditions, vehicle damage, and concerns about its safety and reliability. Incidents: sept. 23, 2023 (6,279 miles): suspension noise reported to Tesla service center, clarkston, mi. Service concluded suspension was operating as intended (invoice no. 3000s0008134598). Dec. 4, 2024 (29,425 miles): skidding on a highway caused minor contact with another vehicle. Repairs (two rear tires and parking lamp) cost $1,007. 28 at grand rapids service center (invoice no. 3000s0011836159). Dec. 24, 2024: at 9 mph near a stop sign, the vehicle skidded, colliding with a cement pole, damaging the bumper and parking lamp. Jan. 9, 2025: during a service appointment at ann arbor, technicians experienced skidding during a road test. Inspection revealed worn rear tires (recently replaced), damaged suspension, and subframe assembly. Repair costs totaled $10,022. 69, but Tesla denied warranty coverage. Concerns: safety and reliability: the awd system consistently fails to prevent skidding, unlike older vehicles from other manufacturers like Hyundai and Toyota. Service negligence: Tesla grand rapids provided worn rear tires. Previous services overlooked suspension and alignment issues, contributing to recurring incidents. Warranty denial: despite being under warranty, Tesla refused coverage, advising an insurance claim, which is unjustified given the defects and poor maintenance. Request for NHTSA action: investigate potential defects in the braking, traction control, and suspension systems. Recommend a recall if defects are confirmed. Hold Tesla accountable for repairs under warranty and ensure improved service practices. Seek compensation for emotional distress and service deficiencies. I hope NHTSA will act promptly to ensure public safety and uphold Tesla’s commitment to safety measures.
Rims cacked . Same issues with some Tesla cars that posted on media. Same identical cracked image, air leaking slowly at the crack. Found no signs of rim damage to cause rims crack.
I was driving through a busy nyc street very slowly. Probably 10 mph or less. I was on a red light. Then I moved forward when the light turned green, my handle felt weird and the car was moving side ways. I first thought it was the tire that blew off. So I immediately stopped the car and had my husband look at the tires. No holes, no pressure was lost. I thought it was so odd, so I started moving forward a little bit, again. Something felt very off. We stopped again and looked throughly and realized the right rear wheel was twisted while the other three remained straight. This is our brand new car that was just picked up 7 days ago. We just simply couldn’t believe our eyes. My whole family including my husband, my two kids (7,10), our dog and myself were in the car and I can’t imagine ourself being in the same situation if we were on a highway at a faster speed. We’d probably dead by now. I didn’t hit anything, I was going 10 mph, there was nothing on the street. And the wheel getting twisted like that just doesn’t justify anything but a defect.
The car suddenly crossed the double yellow line on a local road and hit another car coming from the opposite direction on a local road (adams lane, north brunswick, NJ). The wheel joint was faulty that broke (see attached pictures) and pull the car to the other side of the road without warning. Even the airbag in this car is not deployed. The vehicle was towed by police to a garage (coppa's service center & towing, 1 moore road, north brunswick, NJ 08902. Ph. 732-297-7530). The vehicle has been declared as a total loss bt the insurance company. Because my car crossed the yellow line and hit the other car, I got tickets (crashdocs. Org; polish report # 23034105; date: 06/20/2023). I and the lone person the other care are lucky to survive this accident. I feel that such a fault might put other Tesla Model Y drivers/passengers and others in danger on the road. Please investigate to keep people safe. Kalyan das 908-720-8099.
Took delivery for a brand new Tesla Model Y lr 2023 on Apr 20 2023. Wheel alignment issues since the day took delivery. Opened a service request on April 24th to fix the issues. 1st appointment scheduled for may 1. Technician offset the steering wheel to fix the issue. Did not help. Rescheduled again for 2nd service on may 4th. The service technician rechecked the wheel alignment and offset the steering wheel by -1. 2. Did not help and the vehicle continues to drift to the right. I need to keep applying force to the steering wheel to bring it back to the road. Tesla is not able to fix the issues and says that its within the range. I have tried other Tesla vehicles and I did not see the issue. Infact in none of the test drive cars I drover before ordering telsa had these issues. The loaner Tesla offered me while my Model Y was being fixed had that issue. Wheel alignment is a very basic issue and if Tesla is unable to fix this, then I am suspecting there is a bigger issue with the car and are neither unable to verify nor fix the issue. They are unable to replace the car as well and are not offering any options other than saying nothing can be done.
Upon receiving the car the steering wheel never matched the way the wheels pointed. The steering wheel needed to be around 10-15 degrees to the right to go straight. After 3 wheel alignment's, the steering wheel still isn't straight to get the car to travel straight, but having to keep the wheel 3 degrees to the right is better than 10 degrees.
