| Description of the problem | Here is another model 3 in the junkyard with a the front suspension fallen off. This car has only travelled 1000 miles since it was factory gated. Https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicle? Itemid=29216371&rownumber=83&loadrecent=true no crash damage. No airbags deployed. The suspension bolts have snapped again. I have searched your database and it seems that neither the vehicle owner nor tesla have bothered to file a report of this alarming failure. You can see from the photographs that the bolts have snapped this is an incredibly dangerous situation. Please take action to prevent loss of life. Thank you.
