Description of the problem	Please note that i have used a substitute vin to file this report since the vin of the car i am complaining about is unavailable. Here is the model 3 in the junkyard. Https://www. Copart. Com/lot/34936400/photos this car is in detroit and could easily be inspected by nhtsa staff. The photographs show that the cast monkey metal lower suspension arm has snapped. The bright surface of the snapped part shows that it is a clean break caused by bad casting. Also the monkey-metal steering knuckle has snapped completely in half and this has been stashed on the back seat. This is convenient for nhtsa staff to inspect because they will not need to get their hands dirty. Close up photographs of the affected parts are attached to this submission. A few owners are now starting to file complaints about broken suspensions. If you open an investigation into suspension failures it will give even more owners the opportunity to report their problems. Thank you. Keef date of crash, mileage etc. Are estimates
